Dameon Pierce asked why he's playing in the Gasparilla Bowl:
“Why? Because I’m a Gator, bro. when I signed here, I signed for four good years, get my education and I’m going to rock out that way until I die, you know?”
Kyle Trask was deemed the second-best quarterback in his conference despite leading the nation in touchdowns (46), passing touchdowns (43), passing yards (4,125), and passing yards per game (375).
The Heisman trophy goes to "the most outstanding player in NCAA football. Winners epitomize great ability combined with diligence, perseverance, and hard work.”
You'd be hard-pressed to find someone that embodies that more than
#Gators
QB Kyle Trask.
Gators have 21+ cases of COVID.
Vanderbilt has less than 50 scholarship players currently available (COVID + injury). Both teams have postponed games.
Nick Saban tested positive.
All three teams have played Texas A&M, two in College Station. How do the Aggies not have cases?
Great speech from
@EmmittSmith22
when asked about his son choosing Stanford over Smith’s alma mater, UF. Best of luck to EJ! Stanford is a great school.
Mullen asked about his shouting match with Todd Grantham .... "I got home, we're neighbors, and he had his Christmas lights up before Thanksgiving. I told him you don't do that, he adamantly said, yes you do, and that's what it was about."

The

are No. 12 in the AP Top-25 poll.
It's the largest jump in school history in the current AP Top-25 format and 4th-biggest jump in school history.
Napier: "I think coaching is a lot like teaching. When the students don't perform as well as you want them to I think as a coach and as a teacher you gotta take a good look in the mirror."
Jachai Polite on Dan Mullen: "He wants to be a big time coach like Saban of the league. He's gonna be that very soon. This league is about to be his. I don't care what anybody say. It's gonna be his."

Dan Mullen's press conference ends abruptly, no players made available. I was in line to ask a question, not called on.
Not sure what's going on at UF.
I’ve seen a lot while covering Florida (credit card fraud, alleged armed robbery, arrested for barking at a police dog) but Feleipe Franks has never had an issue off the field. He’s never been suspended or arrested. I don’t know what “off field issues” ESPN was speaking of.
Florida is 2-0maha.
That's massive. Coming out of the loser's bracket is tough. Gators will get two days to rest while TCU-ORU play on Tuesday.
Florida is one win away from the CWS Final. TCU-ORU would need three more wins to get there.
Starting 2-0 is a massive advantage.
Nick Saban has a clause in his contact that reads: “Coach will be paid at least as much as the average total pay of the top three SEC coaches or top-five NCAA coaches, whichever is higher.”
So he’s watching these contracts gets signed and

This is the fourth head coach I’ve covered. Every time there was a job opening I’d get asked about Corey Raymond.
Wild to see him in Orange and Blue. Huge coup for Billy Napier and the

College GameDay will be in Gainesville for the Auburn-Florida game.
It’s the first undefeated top-10 matchup in Ben Hill Griffin Stadium since No. 10 Florida hosted No. 4 LSU on 10/6/12 (Gators won 14-6).

She was able to come home last Wednesday.
