There is almost nothing Peyton Manning didn't accomplish during his college and NFL career. He was an All-American, won the Maxwell Award, was the first overall pick in the 1998 NFL Draft, and went on to win two Super Bowls.

Manning has done it all.

Except beat the Florida Gators.

His first official completed pass came in 1994 against the Gators in a 31-0 defeat. He then had three more cracks as a starter to beat Florida but lost 62-37, 35-29, and 33-20.

During his career against the Gators, Manning threw nine touchdowns but also threw seven interceptions. When it was all over in college for Manning, Florida accounted for 22% of the career interceptions he had thrown.

We'll find out if his nephew Arch Manning can have any better success soon enough.
