Florida has suspended quarterback Treon Harris and cornerback Jalen Tabor for the Tennessee game. Gators head coach Jim McElwain refused to go into details of the suspension. However, ESPN's Brett McMurphy said that they came about because Harris had failed a drug test and Tabor had refused to take a drug test, resulting in an automatic suspension. Harris had been battling QB Will Grier for the starting job in The Swamp. He's passed for 269 yards and 2 TDs in two games for Florida, and run for 55 yards. Grier played well in the 14-9 at Kentucky on Saturday night, and would probably have Read more [...]

Will Muschamp pissed off a lot of Florida Gators fans in 2014, as the team stumbled to 7-5 and 4-4 in the SEC. It wasn't really about the defense- they were great - it was about the goddawful offense. The goddawful offense was -- you've got it -- goddawful.

McElwain, who came from Colorado State after head coach Will Muschamp was ousted from Gainseville after an awful 2014 (led by an horrific offense), said at the SEC Media Days: "I think part of the experience of being in this conference is realizing it doesn't happen just overnight," he said. He was full of praise of standout corner Vernon Hargreaves, who could well be a Top 5 pick in the 2016 NFL Draft: "I love the way this guy comes to work every day. The way he practices, the way he thrives Read more [...]

The Florida Gators may have had a goddawful 2013 season, but if the 2014 season plays out like National Signing Day did, then the fanbase will have little to complain at Will Muschamp about. Five-star CB from Arizona Jalen Tabor decided that he'd prefer to take his talents South, and opted for Gainseville. Tabor's move made Adoree Jackson's decision not to play for the Gators (he's going to USC) less of a kick in the teeth. He'll be helped out in the secondary by DB J.C. Jackson, who many felt wouldn't be a Gator by the end of the day, DB Duke Dawson (already enrolled) and DB Quincy Wilson, Read more [...]
