The only constant in the Gators’ offense has been inconsistency.
Remember that fourth-down blitz on Saturday from safety Donovan Stiner?
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Antonio Callaway continued his rookie season in a solid fashion. He’s only totaled seven receptions in his last two games, but Browns QB Baker Mayfield keeps looking his way — Callaway has 19 targets in those same two games.
