As I left the UF-Georgia game last season, two thoughts ran through my head.
It wasn't long ago that UF's rushing defense was a sieve and depth on the defensive line was unheard of.
Last season, at least according to UF coach Urban Meyer, the Gators' running backs were "non-functional."
Maybe UF had gotten tired of listening to all the critics. Maybe it was something in the Fayetteville, Ark., air.
While the status of senior left guard Jim Tartt, who is struggling to regain strength in his surgically repaired shoulder, is decided weekly, the rest of the offensive line's depth has finally come into place.
The week every college football fan has waited for has finally arrived.
Azania Stewart was always a healthy kid growing up.
Roland Thornqvist will get to see the nation's elite vie for the ITA National Indoor Championship up close on Nov. 6-9.
Having already secured the Southeastern Conference regular-season title and top seed in the SEC Tournament, the Gators only have a perfect conference record and a high national seeding to play for.
UF coach Mary Wise is calling upon a power greater than herself to fix her team's recent middle-blocking struggles.
No amount of history was going to help UF defeat Georgia on Sunday.
The UF soccer team has developed a habit coach Becky Burleigh would like to break.
Let the countdown to Jacksonville begin.
No Billy Horschel? No problem.
A lot can happen in one month's time. In the case of the UF women's golf team, that means practicing how to have a top-five finish.
UF coach Urban Meyer is a big fan of telling his players they have a 90 percent chance of winning when they block a punt. He hasn't given them odds for blocking two punts and a field goal yet, but cornerback Joe Haden seems to have figured it out.
Certain days are more important than others. For Marrit Boonstra and Megan Alexander, today could be huge.
