Only 16 teams get a chance to host an NCAA regional, so road play is crucial for a team's chance at a championship run.
CORAL GABLES - In a game filled with the nation's best, Kenny Boynton proved he belonged.
Maybe UF coach Urban Meyer isn't excited about the prospects of the I-formation in Gainesville, but one of his running backs is.

A little less than a year ago, Urban Meyer said it would be hard to keep incoming freshman defensive tackle Omar Hunter off the field.
