Mary Wise can finally breathe. The new offense worked.
After a blowout loss to Miami to begin the season, Florida traveled to Chapel Hill, N.C., to play No. 14 North Carolina.
Will Muschamp continues to hold off on naming Florida's starting quarterback for the season-opener, but he has provided insight as to who will be under center on Sept. 1 against Bowling Green.
The Florida offensive linemen trust each other.
When the Gators open their season against Florida International tonight at 7:30 p.m. in the O’Connell Center, they’ll have the opportunity to do something they haven’t done since 2007 — run a 5-1 offense.
This offseason has been a time of major change for coach Mary Wise.
An unranked Miami team outpaced then-No. 21 Florida last Friday, but coach Becky Burleigh doesn’t believe UF’s season-opening 4-1 loss was the result of a lack of effort.
Taylor Travis spent her first two seasons at Florida trying to find a way to score.
When Brent Pease kicks his offense into high gear, confusing opposing defenses with various formations, motions and shifts, Trey Burton and Omarius Hines are expected to present some of the biggest problems.
The Gators have Georgia on their mind.
Two days after coach Will Muschamp announced Colin Thompson would miss about eight weeks due to surgery on his right foot, the Gators have good news at tight end: Jordan Reed is healthy.
For the first time in five months, questions will turn into answers for the Gators.
While everyone is in a tizzy about Brent Pease bringing exotic shifts and new formations to the Gators offense, we here at alligatorSports understand the value of keeping things simple.
After the Gators spent last season learning rather than communicating, defensive coordinator Dan Quinn has coaching competition in Year 2 of his system.
Tight end Colin Thompson will undergo a second surgery to treat a fractured bone in his right foot, sidelining him for about eight weeks.
Florida's quarterback competition is silly. In fact, the ongoing saga has provided the most ridiculous story coming out of the Gators' fall camp.
Last year, the Gators had five seniors in their starting lineup. Among those five were All-Americans Kelly Murphy and Kristy Jaeckel, who accounted for 43 percent of Florida's kills, 47 percent of assists and 48 percent of the team's service aces in 2011.
Florida's wide receivers were virtually non-existent much of last season.
There was no doubt that Taylor Brauneis was Louisville's dominant setter for the last two years. The junior led the team with 1,100 assists in 2010, and continued her top performance in 2011 when she was responsible for 85 percent of the Cardinals' assists.
The Gators lined up to defend four corner kicks in their season opener Friday night. Two of them ended up in the back of the net.
