Plane crash shakes up Gator fans

Found October 06, 2013 on Fox Sports:
TEAMS: Jacksonville Jaguars,  Florida Gators
It was panning out to be a great first night game for Florida Gators fans in Gainsville on Saturday. But then a tailgating event came to a screeching hault and almost turned into a disaster. A banner plane fell out of the sky and crashed at Flavet Field on Florida's campus. Thankfully the car that it reportedly landed on was unoccupied. Ironically, the company who owned the plane is the same company that flew the "Tebow Why Not?" plane over a Jacksonville Jaguars game. WUFT News has just confirmed the plane is registered to Beach Banners, Inc. in Jacksonville. -- WUFT News (@WUFTNews) October 5, 2013 Closer pic of the downed aircraft, flipped truck at Flavet Field in Gainesville. pic.twitter.com/cGjIEistZD -- Wade Millward (@WadeMillward) October 5, 2013 There were two passengers in the plane at the time of the crash. Both are alive but suffered several lacerations.

Thankfully it wasn't a fatal crash and fans were able to resume their festivities.

Well, I'm sure they would take that one back now. It was still a good outcome for what could have been a deadly ending. H/T to Yardbarker

Watkins snaps back after snafu

Via florida.scout.com  |  October 06, 2013
He’s playing a more physical brand of football since his move to safety. Florida senior Jaylen Watkins is noticeably more aggressive in his play on the field and you can it in his tackling and the way he races to the ball when an offensive guy breaks the line of scrimmage. That aggressiveness got him in a bit of hot water Saturday, but he finished the game strong as did the rest of the defense.
