Gators looking to overcome red zone struggles in 2012
By JOE MORGAN | Sep. 4, 2012For last year’s Gators, the final 20 yards proved the toughest.
For last year’s Gators, the final 20 yards proved the toughest.
Mary Wise has no doubt that her team can attack the ball. But the Gators’ defense is full of question marks.
After facing two in-state rivals early in the season and scoring only one goal, Florida’s offense came alive on Sunday against Florida International, scoring three goals on 24 shots.
Florida coach Will Muschamp named Jeff Driskel the starting quarterback on Monday, but that doesn’t mean much.
Mike Gillislee showed he has what it takes to be a workhorse in Saturday’s season opener. Now he has to prove he can hold up through a 12-game season.
As thousands of fans battled the heat to catch the first game of the 2012 Florida Gators football season, University Police and Gainesville Police officers had their share of stadium ejections and arrests.
Will Muschamp didn’t want to name a starting quarterback following Saturday’s win against Bowling Green, but he decided to end the speculation on Monday by naming Jeff Driskel his starter.
Frustrated with how her team lost to No. 1 Florida State 1-0 on Friday, sophomore midfielder Havana Solaun vented her aggression against FIU’s backline Sunday night.
At this rate, Mike Gillislee will eclipse 2,000 yards and surpass his touchdown prediction. After saying he’d reach 1,500 yards and 24 touchdowns at Southeastern Conference Media Days in July, the senior running back made an early push to the seemingly unreachable goals.
The Gators entered the new year expecting to be better, faster and more disciplined, but in Saturday’s season opener they showed only more of the same struggles that led to a disappointing 2011.
Three back-to-back-to-back kills in fourth set by Chloe Mann almost changed the pace for the No. 18 Gators (3-2). She was able to narrow a 5 point deficit to just 2.
After weeks of debate and indecision, both Jacoby Brissett and Jeff Driskel were on the field for the first snap of Saturday's season opener against Bowling Green.
It didn’t take long for coach Paul Spangler to chalk up his first victory at Florida as both the men’s and women’s cross country teams dominated to start the 2012 season.
Taking down the Longhorns was just too tall of an order.
During halftime on Saturday, Florida coach Will Muschamp will have to make a choice: Jacoby Brissett or Jeff Driskel.
A 7-6 season is not acceptable at Florida.
Florida’s season opener was not the best night for sophomore goalkeeper Taylor Burke.
Because the average height for Florida A&M, Florida Gulf Coast and FIU is 5 feet 11 inches, it’s no surprise that 6-foot-2 Chloe Mann and 6-foot Živa Recek combined for 71 kills at the Campus USA Credit Union Invite last weekend.
The Gators will feast today.
