Week two of the NFL season is in the rearview and several former Florida Gators have found their bearings this season. A mix of young players finding their way at the highest level and veterans making an impact for big teams represented the Gators this week.
Florida offensive linemen Damieon George Jr. and Micah Mazzccua and tight end Dante Zanders will be suspended for the first half against the Charlotte 49ers following a late-game altercation against the Tennessee Volunteers Saturday.
Becoming the voice of a team is an opportunity in sports sought out by thousands. For Sean Kelley, this opportunity came last year with the Florida Gators. Now, he takes his experience with him from year one into year two.
The No. 25 Florida Gators (2-1, 1-0 SEC) defeated the now-No. 23 Tennessee Volunteers (2-1, 0-1 SEC) 29-16 in Ben Hill Griffin Stadium Sept. 16. The matchup marked the second largest crowd in the Swamp in the Tennessee-Florida matchup at 90,751 people.
The Florida Gators (2-1, 1-0 SEC) defeated the No. 11 Tennessee Volunteers (2-1, 0-1 SEC) 29-16 Saturday night in Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. UF used a 20-point second quarter to race to an insurmountable first-half lead and secure head coach Billy Napier’s first win over a rival.
Gators freshman wide receiver Eugene Wilson III will miss the remainder of Florida's game against the No. 11 Tennessee Volunteers.
I sat down with Caleb Jarreau, the sports editor at The Daily Beacon, the independent student newspaper at the University of Tennessee, to break down the matchup.
The Volunteers (2-0) are the first Southeastern Conference opponent the Florida Gators (1-1) will play this season and are undefeated entering the weekend matchup. Tennessee hasn’t defeated Florida at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, though, since 2003.
Redshirt freshman defensive lineman Jamari Lyons and redshirt sophomore linebacker Scooby Williams made their presence known in Ben Hill Griffin Stadium Saturday.
The Florida Gators (1-1) cruised past the McNeese State Cowboys (0-2) 49-7 Sept. 9. The win snapped a four-game Florida skid and secured the Gators’ first victory of the season. Head coach Billy Napier was pleased with his team’s performance in the commanding win.
The Florida Gators (1-1) began their three-game home stand by defeating the McNeese State Cowboys (0-2) 49-7 Saturday at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. Florida recorded its first victory since it defeated South Carolina 38-6 Nov. 12 last season.
The Florida Gators (0-1) will play their first home game of the season against the McNeese State Cowboys (0-1) Saturday. The game marks the first of three-straight home games for the Gators.

The Florida Gators (0-1) fell to the No. 14 Utah Utes (1-0) 24-11 to open the 2023 season. The Gators suffered miscues in every facet of play and quickly fell behind to Utah, which was without its senior starting quarterback Cameron Rising.
The Florida Gators (0-1) fell to the Utes (1-0) 24-11 in Rice-Eccles Stadium Thursday night to open their 2023 football season. The Gators failed to convert in the clutch and ended just 1-13 on third-down conversions.
The Gators open the 2023 season with a daunting road trip to the No. 14 Utes. This is Florida’s first regular season game west of Texas since a 1983 trip to the University of Southern California. And like those Trojans 40 years ago, Utah will provide an early litmus test for UF.
