For a good, solid 10 minutes I laughed. I probably sounded crazy, sitting by myself in my office at home watching the Florida Gators defeat the Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin’ Cajuns 27-20 on my laptop. The medicine to combat the flu would be what many would have blamed for my maniacal cackle, but it wasn’t the culprit. The Gators had just won in a way only the Gators of 2012 possibly could. For 58 minutes, all signs pointed to a Florida loss, but that’s not what happens this season.

On Saturday, Okine will make his last plays as a Gator in The Swamp. Though Okine's career at UF was filled with ups and downs, he said it’s an experience he wouldn’t...

Notebook: Adjusting to jumpstart the pass
When the Florida offense gets to the line of scrimmage before the snap, there isn’t much freedom for the quarterback to switch the play. That’s by the design of the Florida coaching staff. The Gators are trying to build a mindset into the team of tough, hardnosed football that features the running game. There isn’t much freedom to switch to pass plays if the defense dictates it.
Murphy’s status against Wisconsin uncertain
With No. 10 Florida already down three players from the team that opened preseason practice, they’re dealing with another blow that could be even bigger. Senior forward Erik Murphy missed practice on Monday with an illness and his status is in doubt with No. 22 Wisconsin coming to Gainesville on Wednesday night.
