Florida set to open tough week with matchup against Tennessee
By Sam Campisano | Oct. 3, 2018The 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. The wide receiver grabbed three receptions for 54 yards Sunday against the Oakland Raiders.
There’s not a lot that followed Florida receiver Trevon Grimes from his time at Ohio State.
Freshman Thayer Hall and junior Rachael Kramer jumped up simultaneously in the final rally of the match, rejecting yet another Alabama strike. Florida’s front row held firm from the continuous attacks from the Crimson Tide, who were trying to win its first set over Florida since 2008.
Now seems as good a time as any to say it: I told you so.
Mississippi State quarterback Nick Fitzgerald never saw Donovan Stiner coming.
The Florida men’s tennis team did not fare well in the pre-qualifying round of the ITA All-American Championships.
McCartney Kessler and Ida Jarlskog needed just one more win to reach the doubles qualifying rounds of the ITA All-American Championships. They had already defeated Texas’ Marta Perez-Mur and Tijana Spasojevic earlier in the day, and were eight games away from escaping the pre-qualifying rounds.
Feleipe Franks completed a nine-yard screen pass to Kadarius Toney on Florida’s first drive of the third quarter in its low-scoring war of attrition at Mississippi State.
Opening days for fall tournaments have been a mixed bag for the Gators. A miserable first day at the Carpet Capital Collegiate set the tone for a disappointing 13th-place finish. John Axelsen’s 64 on the opening round at last week’s Trinity Forest Invitational sparked a fourth-place finish for both Axelsen and the Gators.
The Gators’ doubles team of Ida Jarlskog and McCartney Kessler were to set the tone at the ITA Tennis All-American Championships in their opening match against Utah's Leah Heimuli and Whitney Turley. They were, after all, the first two Gators to play a match at this year’s tournament.
Quarterback Feleipe Franks took the snap in the third quarter and immediately threw it to Kadarius Toney on his left.
The UF women's swimming and diving team built upon the momentum it received from the season-opening triumph over FAU Thursday, taking it out on the Miami Hurricanes in Coral Gables on Friday.
Maybe it was the long bus ride. Maybe it was the Mississippi State defense. Maybe it was the absence of two of its best players.
The Florida men’s and women’s tennis teams have no time to rest on their laurels following successful opening weekends. Both Gators teams will be competing in their respective ITA All-American Championships beginning this weekend.
The Florida Gators took to the water for the first time on Thursday afternoon to open up their 2018-2019 campaign against Florida Atlantic at the FAU Aquatic Center.
Feleipe Franks makes mistakes.
The Dan Mullen hot takes are among us. The alligatorSports staff travels to Starkvegas this weekend to see for ourselves the alleged anti-Mullen outrage. And among all of that clanga clanga, we’ll all bare witness to some of the maroon-faced hatred.
The Gators have scored 10 goals in their past two games after going on a six-game scoreless streak earlier in the year. Florida is riding the momentum for the moment, but a certain team from Starkville, Mississippi, may just be the test UF needs to entirely confirm that reports of the Gators’ demise have been greatly exaggerated.
