Week 3 of the NFL season has come and gone, and some former Gators had solid performances for their respective professional teams. Here’s a look at how some of those players did last weekend in this edition of Gators in the NFL:
Florida came away victorious at the Trinity Forest Invitational on Tuesday, but for a while, it didn’t appear as if its triumph was meant to be.
Luke Del Rio’s biggest strength during Florida’s preseason quarterback battle was, in his own words, “consistency.” He was said to be a veteran who knew the offense, and one who didn’t make many mistakes. His first drive of 2017 didn’t show that.
Coach J.C. Deacon’s decision to stick Andy Zhang into the UF men’s golf team’s starting lineup is paying off, as Florida is tied for the lead with one round to go at the Trinity Forest Invitational in Dallas.
According to UPD reports, all nine players are accused of systematically taking other peoples' credit card information, using the information to add money to their UF Bookstore debit accounts, and buying electronics like laptops, headphones and iPads.
Florida fans got their first official update today on the nine UF football players who have been suspended indefinitely since August.
Luke Del Rio wouldn’t answer the question.
Jim McElwain had a smugness about him after Saturday’s comeback win against Kentucky. He looked like he was trying to avoid smiling, as if to send a message that winning close games is just what his team does. That there’s nothing special about it. It reminded me of something he said after last season’s goal-line stand, SEC East-clinching win at LSU.
Florida finished strong on the last day of the Gator Ranked +1 and Ivy-Plus Invitational tournaments on Sunday.
Coming into the Gators second fall tournament on Sunday, men’s golf coach J.C. Deacon expected more out of his team.
Gators senior Taylor Tomlinson’s season didn’t begin the way that she wanted it to at the Ocean Course Invitational earlier this month. Tomlinson, the only upperclassman on the Gators’ roster, was outshined by two freshmen on her way to a disappointing 50th-place finish.
The Florida Gators came out on top for the eighth consecutive year in the All-Florida Invitational, with both the men’s and women’s team taking first place Sunday at the O’Connell Center.
Mayra Pelayo squared up an Alabama defender on the right wing and darted toward the end line. She played a cross, trying to pick out one of multiple teammates in the box.
Up 14-13 with the match on the line, Allie Monserez set up Florida's kill leader, Carli Snyder, to put away a dogfight between the Gators and the Razorbacks in Arkansas.
LEXINGTON, Ky. — It didn’t take long for Malik Davis to redeem himself.
Kadarius Toney caught the ball and went backwards. Instead of cutting up field, he cut to his right and tried to use his speed to outrun Kentucky’s entire defense. “Man,” defensive end Jabari Zuniga thought on the sideline, “what’re you doing?”
When Luke Del Rio noticed Freddie Swain uncovered in Florida’s end zone and started to lob the ball toward his open receiver, only one thing ran through his mind.
Florida had a successful day in Day 2 of the Gator Ranked +1 and Ivy-Plus Invitational tournaments on Saturday.
Both the Gators men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams put up a strong showing in Day 2 of the All-Florida Invitational. This was a strong performance especially for the women’s team after they were mostly dominated by ACC rival FSU on Friday.
The No. 3 Gators (8-0) travel to Fayetteville, Arkansas, to take on the Razorbacks (11-2) in their SEC opener on Sunday at 2 p.m. EST.
