With Spring football practice underway, one of first-year head coach Jim McElwain’s goals is to give players valuable playing experience.
Will Muschamp tried to build Florida into what Alabama is on the field, with a style of play ready to line up and mash opponents into submission using unbalanced lines and "God’s play."

Florida’s Pro Day will be held later than usual this year.
R. Kelly saw nothing wrong with a little bumping but on Friday the NCAA did.
This year, February 4th marked what some call college football’s national holiday. Yes, the much-revered and looked forward to National signing day came and went once again with the same pomp and circumstance to which it has become accustomed over the years. This year’s class, depending on which scouting service you listen to, had either Byron Cowart, Trent Thompson, or Kahlil McKenzie at the top of the list. All of them are defensive linemen, which was a theme that was certainly prevalent at the top of this year’s recruiting crop as the “big uglies” generally took up about five of the top ten spots.
Jim McElwain’s first coaching staff is complete.
Terrell Williams’ time in Gainesville didn’t last long.
Things are different for Dante Fowler Jr. these days. There is no class to go to or Gator Dining training table to eat from. He doesn’t dodge scooters on his way to the facility or answer questions about why Will Muschamp’s job is in jeopardy. Fowler now spends his days fully devoted to training for the thing he’s dreamed about his whole life — a spot on a National Football League roster.
Four-star quarterback and Florida State verbal commit Deondre Francois started a firestorm Thursday afternoon when a tweet was posted to his account @Deondre_3 that read "I’m officially decommiting from the (sic) university of Florida state."
The Florida football program will soon have its crown jewel facility.
Jeremy Mincey’s efforts were not enough.
Doug Nussmeier has his hands full.
For the 11th time in school history, and the fifth time in the past 10 years, the Florida Gators have an inductee in the college football hall of fame.
Geoff Collins is a psycho — or at least, that’s the name given to his brand of aggressive defense. "The psycho defense" is ready to be installed as Collins and the rest of the Gators staff officially took over with a team meeting Monday night and the defensive assistant coaches met with the media Thursday.
On a cold Thursday morning in Gainesville, new associate head coach and co-defensive coordinator Randy Shannon met with reporters wearing a windbreaker sporting a Gator head logo on it.
Jim McElwain’s staff is still one short.
Gerald Willis is no longer a member of the Florida football team.
Antonio Morrison said on UF’s athletic website Tuesday that he plans to return for his senior season.
