Urban Meyer didn’t need to call any timeouts. Even with UF fans chanting for Meyer to rub in No. 1 Florida’s 41-17 win over rival Georgia with some late timeouts, he passed. His point had already been made.
Police say they have identified a suspect in what they originally thought was an armed robbery near Norman Hall last month. UPD is reclassifying the incident as a trespass instead of a robbery.
