Photographer’s Note
Arguably the second biggest event to take place in Gainesville is the NCAA football game that takes place against Tennessee every other year in Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. Approximately 90,000 people were in attendance. I was fortunate enough to have tickets on the 2nd row around the 30 yard line. After a long wait, one play happened to line up very close to my seat, allowing me to take this symmetrical shot.

Amazing capture! You've really captured several of the great elements of this scene (crowd, snap, refs, etc). DOF is excellent. Great job!
