FSU’s improvement in trenches makes ‘Noles a legit title contender By Hays Carlyon Presented by Woolsey Morcom Florida State quarterback Jordan Travis might win the Heisman Trophy. The redshirt senior leads a dynamic group of FSU playmakers. However, the reason FSU might go from good to championship contender is the improvement coach Mike Norvell has led in the trenches. FSU is a big, bad bully again on both […]
Gators are young but Napier looks like the rookie By Hays Carlyon Presented by Woolsey Morcom Florida was certainly relying on several freshmen and first-year players in Thursday night’s opening game at No. 14 Utah. So, why did its head coach look like the rookie? Billy Napier was leading his 66th career game as a head coach. There was simply no excuse for his lousy performance in a […]

By Hays Carlyon GAINESVILLE – I never dreamed I’d see this. Not this season. A dominant defensive performance? From the Gators? What seemed impossible two weeks ago became a reality Saturday.

If you’re not good enough to get on the field with this defense, you’re not an SEC player. Good grief. Florida’s defense is atrocious. Just atrocious.

The Gators might’ve upset Utah last week, but there remains a ton of work to do for first-year coach Billy Napier. He needs players. Everywhere. He also needs to learn to punt. Kentucky turned a 16-7 deficit into a 26-16 win over the Gators in The Swamp on Saturday night […]
By Hays Carlyon GAINESVILLE – I’m not going to use the H word. I’m not going to talk about Florida quarterback Anthony Richardson going to a certain New York athletic club in mid-December. But you’re thinking it. And you should be. Soak it up, Gators fans. You might not have much of a defense, but you’ve got a legit coach in Billy Napier and you have a potential superstar at […]
