The highlight of the Gators' 1913 campaign was an incredible 144–0 victory over the Florida Southern Moccasins. Back Harvey Hester played under an assumed name and scored 7 touchdowns. Former Gator William A. Shands refereed the contest. Louis Tenney scored five touchdowns; Swanson three, Moseley, J. B. Sutton, James Miller, Puss Hancock, Sam Buie, and Rex Farrior had one each. It was freshman Farrior's first game at Florida.

The defeat of Florida Southern was followed five days later by a 0–55 loss to an Auburn Tigers team that would finish its season undefeated and untied. Auburn scored five touchdowns in the first half. Captain Kirk Newell retired in the third period due to the heat.

The starting lineup was Henderson (left end), Coarsey (left tackle), Sutton (left guard), Price (center), Bullock (right guard), Ward (right tackle), Buie (right end), Swanson (quarterback), Lawler (left halfback), Hester (right halfback), Tenney (fullback).

In the third week of play, Florida overwhelmed the Maryville Scots 39–0 using several forward passes. Price made two field goals, including one of 40 yards.
