Packing up and leaving when things get difficult is a natural human inclination. There are very few people that have the ability to stand in the fire and fight. If you turn on the tape there is repeated evidence that
@GatorsFB
doesn’t have enough of those willing to fight yet.
I don’t care if
@FootballUGA
has 2 losses, I witnessed the 2 best teams in the country playing tonight in Atlanta. UGA would beat Okl, OSU, ND and UCF by double digits. It’ll be interesting to see what
@CFBPlayoff
committee decides.
Can’t describe the emotions I felt walking through the new
@GatorsFB
practice facility yesterday. The 5 year old fan in me came out in complete awe and amazement. Honored to be a small piece of the foundation.
Congrats to
@AlabamaFTBL
and their fans. Total domination due to flawless execution of a great game plan in all 3 phases.
I WAS WRONG, THEY ARE ELITE!
Can’t wait to see them play
@GeorgiaFootball
in Atlanta in December.
The fact that Dan Mullen had this
@GatorsFB
ranked in the top 10 this season is a testament to the job he and his staff have done in year 1. He's been able to overcome the flaws, limitations in personnel and lack of depth at key positions with some nice scheming and play calling.
Like many other fans I’ve been frustrated with the QB play of
@GatorsFB
over the last 2seasons but I think it’s important to note the improved play of Feleipe Franks. Is he perfect? No, but he seems to really care and he’s willing to work to get there. That’s all you can ask.
Impressive finish for
@GatorsFB
in year one of
@CoachDanMullen
tenure in Gainesville. 10 wins is huge but more importantly he’s brought fun back for Gator fans. Future is bright.
It’s been a pleasure to watch you play
@henhook2
. While your execution of the offense has been impressive, it’s your leadership that has made the biggest impression.
In life, I have learned it is never a good idea to beg someone to be where they don’t want to be. We need alphas that are anxious to turn the tide, whether that be in a game, a season or in the current era of Gator football.

What you don’t see here is a 40 yard kickoff return by Harrison Houston, a big 3rd down catch by Jack Jackson and a couple receptions by Errict Rhett to give us a chance at the end. Not to mention a defensive effort that gave up only 20 points despite 7 INT’s. 🐊🔥
After watching the
@GatorsFB
defensive tape I can’t say enough about Grantham’s game plan and how well the players executed it. The combination of speed and strength of UF’s front 7 embarrassed the Auburn OL.
I am proud to be a

has been an important part of my life from being a kid idolizing Cris Collinsworth to playing in the ‘90’s to now covering them as part of my job with

While there was improvement offensively,
#Gators
fans, do not be fooled by the score. QB is late on most throws, doesn’t anticipate. WR’s can’t separate vs man coverage. OL better but had more to do with opponent. RB rotation needs to be tweaked. Toney still needs more touches.
Want an example of growth in the
@GatorsFB
program look no further than that possesion to answer LSU's 4 play 80 yard TD drive to take the lead. No way they do that last year. Great playing calling and solid execution. Players stepping up to make plays in the clutch.

To all my fellow

Playing WR for
@GatorsFB
was incredibly special for me. Not many schools have the historical production in the passing game that we do. Honored to be pictured with guys who played the position for the Gators in 3 different decades. 471 catches and 84 TD’s amongst this group.

30 years ago today, CD caught his iconic game-winning touchdown from Danny Wuerffel with 0:03 left, breaking the hearts of Kentucky fans everywhere.
So impressed with the
@GatorsFB
defense after watching the tape. Great plan by
@CoachAArmstrong
and the execution was nearly flawless. Fast, physical, penetrating and, most impressive of all, relentless pursuit of the ball.
I'm grateful beyond belief to get to continue to cover the greatest football conference in the country with people that I consider to be family after 5+ years together. Thank you

I know a lot of Gator fans are down about Kelly presumably being out of the picture but it will be better in the long run. Scott Frost will be a superstar and is ultimately a better fit for UF and the SEC.

I don't think Perine gets enough credit for what he does for

When I found out we were having

Catching up with former

The word you are looking for is actually “you’re”. It’s a contraction made up of the two words “you are”. The word “your” shows ownership and is not appropriate in this context.
It’s too bad Davis doesn’t catch the pitch as speed option is a great call here which gives him the edge and a hat for a hat ahead. Should be at least a 10+ yd run near the red zone and possibly a TD. Instead it’s UM ball near midfield and the D is back on the field with no rest.

SEC Storied: More Than a Voice debuts Sunday 7 PM ET.
Didn’t get to watch
@GatorsFB
live as I was calling a game but, based on texts I got and tweets I read l expected to see a disaster when Emory was in. After watching the tape this morning, I thought EJ actually played pretty well. Unfortunately, he had 3 drive ending bad plays.
Greenard is a serious defensive POY candidate in the
@SEC
and, along with Shuler, was incredibly disruptive. Reese cleaned everything up as usual and very impressed with tackling of Marco Wilson on the edge. Very aggressive in run support which you don’t always get from CB’s.
Really cool! Big catch after big catch from my man
@S1ickSzn
culminating with the most clutch of all to win it.
Great call by
@SeanKelleyLive
to immortalize the moment.
Go Gators!!!
Good work today bro. 282 yards rushing and 1 sack allowed. Sounds like dominance on the line of scrimmage against a talented defensive front. Way to finish out a great senior season.
Highlight of the weekend was having legendary
@hokiesfb
coach Frank Beamer on with us as his son
@CoachSBeamer
made his debut as the head coach at
@gamecockfb
. Have to admit I was a little in awe.
Outside of my parents, no one has had a bigger impact on the trajectory of my life than
@SteveSpurrierUF
. I’m thankful for the opportunities he gave me at
@gatorsfb
and in the
@nfl
along with the lessons about competing and perseverance that he provided.
Happy birthday Coach!
Haven't always been enamored w/Tony Romo predicting plays but today he went next level by pointing out what the QB's were looking at pre-snap and where the ball should go based upon those looks. An analyst's job is to explain the "why" and he was awesome tonight in doing so.
I truly believe
@GatorsFB
rolls tomorrow. Can’t see the Canes scoring much on this D.
Look for breakout performances from TE Kyle Pitts on offense and do-it-all Amari Burney on defense.
#Gators
win 27-10
Two rivals squaring off under the lights. What could be better?

Got to give credit to the
@HailStateFB
WR's as I've been critical in past. Coach Johnson has his group playing with confidence and more consistency. Hoping Stevens is ok as offense finally has balance. Hill is the most under appreciated RB in the
@sec
, possibly the country.
That night in Lexington was special for so many reasons. I got my 1st start as a
@GatorsFB
, caught my 1st career TD early in the 4th qtr and later caught this one that may be my favorite of them all. It changed the trajectory of my life for sure. Hard to believe it was 26 yrs ago
FF's numbers were impressive for
@GatorsFB
yesterday and I saw a lot to like on tape. He took shots when they were there and didn't force them when they weren't. Worked his progressions and found his check down to take what the D was giving. Moves well in pocket and didn't panic.
I’m heartbroken by the loss of one of my fellow
@GatorsFB
WR’s,
@CoachA_Hill
. Hearing the news yesterday literally knocked the wind out of me. Aubrey was a tremendous teammate and an even better friend who impacted my life in so many positive ways.
@SXMCollege
Though never an FSU fan I always had respect for Coach Bowden and the program he built from nothing. To a man, every former player I ever spoke to said he was a great coach but an even better human. It was an honor to have competed against him and his teams in the 90’s. RIP Coach
Let me be clear, there’s nobody that wants his alma mater to do better than me. I’m at every former player event and as many practices as I can get to. But, I get paid to give my analysis. Right now this team is not very good. Are they on the right path? Yes. Just takes time.
I’ve made some horrible prognostications over the years but this was not one of them. I’m going to celebrate this call from Week 0 for as long as I can, especially because of the heat I take from
@ESPNDari

@CoachGeneChizik

you’ll be happy to know that I located my favorite piece of memorabilia. Sad to learn that today’s student/athletes no longer get the pleasure of receiving these.
Lots of dislike of this original tweet from earlier tonight particularly from Ohio St fans that want to remind me about UGA’s loss to LSU. Well, an 8-4
@SEC
team knocked off Purdue in that “notoriously hostile environment” where the a Buckeye’s lost by 29.
I don’t care if
@FootballUGA
has 2 losses, I witnessed the 2 best teams in the country playing tonight in Atlanta. UGA would beat Okl, OSU, ND and UCF by double digits. It’ll be interesting to see what

In some alternate universe the liner

hit in the bottom of the 10th got over the LF’s head and bizzaro
@PeterBurnsESPN
is wearing a full
@GatorsBB
uniform in an airport
Not only is
@LSUfootball
a contender for the
@CFBPlayoff
but it's time to start including Joe Burrow in the Heisman discussion. He's comfortable in an explosive offense with tons of weapons and his team will be in the hunt late into the season.
This is a daily reminder to follow social distancing guidelines so that we can get college football back this fall.
If you need any motivation, take a moment to watch how
@ChrisDoering
practiced social distancing from FSU back in 1995.
The
@GatorsFB
coaches are having no problem “juggling chainsaws” as they do a masterful job balancing recruiting and

prep on early signing day. I will say this,
@CoachDanMullen
was very anxious to get back upstairs to continue game planning for UVA.

280 characters isn’t enough to express what

Really impressed with some of the throws Franks has made into tight windows. Finally happy to see some play calls that include slants and in breaking routes to allow the WR's to get separation as well.

With the 31st pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, the San Francisco 49ers have selected Ricky Pearsall.
How will the former Florida wide receiver will fare in the Golden Gate City?
Jefferson is so solid for
@GatorsFB
. His route running is exquisite and he's dependable catching the ball. He's clearly the go-to guy for Franks. Nice to see Copeland more involved. Impressed with his receiving skills as he showed strength in catching the ball with his hands.
Mick and I have forever been connected since that night in Lexington almost 30 years ago. I’m so grateful he was the one in the booth that. I still get chills listening to the call!
Thank you, Mick for all you mean to
