Gainesville coach Bruce Miller on Friday was banking on the hope his squad would build on the momentum from the second half of last week’s game. But the Marist backfield dictated the tempo with 409 yards of offense and intercepted quarterback D.J. Irons twice to spoil homecoming and down the Red Elephants, 24-10 at City Park. On the night the school celebrated its 125th anniversary, the Red Elephants (2-3) fell under .500 at the midway point of the regular season for the first time since 1999.
