They have played and beaten more teams in the BCS top twelve than any other in the country. So, when they are on the road this Saturday against Florida State, don’t expect them to treat this game any different than all the rest. Senior Omar Hunter says there is no pressure, they just want to compete again. http://florida.scout.com/2/1241764.html 2047 Bob Redman http://florida.scout.com/2/1241764.html Mon, 19 Nov 2012 21:54:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida As the final seconds rolled off the clock in The Swamp on Saturday, senior defensive tackle Omar Hunter didn’t know what to do. So he found someone in the same situation as him — senior linebacker Lerentee McCray. The two fifth-year seniors embraced, taking in the memories of their long careers in Gainesville. As the seconds ticked away, both knew the memories in The Swamp never would. http://florida.scout.com/2/1241025.html 2047 Cody Jones http://florida.scout.com/2/1241025.html Sun, 18 Nov 2012 00:16:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida Omar Hunter’s high school goal posts are rooted less than 50 miles from Georgia’s Sanford Stadium. But the Buford, Ga. native said he's never been a Bulldog fan. Hunter has logged nearly five years beneath a Gators jersey and squaring up against his home state’s glory team. Saturday, the senior will tackle the Georgia squad for the last time — a journey he said has gone by fast. http://florida.scout.com/2/1233369.html 2047 Allison Banko http://florida.scout.com/2/1233369.html Thu, 25 Oct 2012 03:34:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida Before the Gators even rolled into Baton Rouge last season, they were already pinned with a deficit. LSU hosted No. 17 UF perched as the top-ranked team in the country. But defensive tackle Omar Hunter said the Gators walked into the matchup feeling ready. They thought they were prepared. But Hunter said he walked out of Tiger Stadium feeling sick. http://florida.scout.com/2/1227293.html 2047 Allison Banko http://florida.scout.com/2/1227293.html Wed, 03 Oct 2012 01:53:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida Senior Omar Hunter had the best game of his Gator career on Saturday versus Kentucky, leading the team in tackles with eight, a new career high. Hunter is the big man in the middle for a defense that still lacks a little bit of identity, but is finding its way and the way to the football via turnovers. Hunter was named the SEC’s Defensive Lineman of the Week. http://florida.scout.com/2/1225024.html 2047 Bob Redman http://florida.scout.com/2/1225024.html Tue, 25 Sep 2012 18:27:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida Through the Gators' first three wins, it has become clear that this is a different team than last season. Florida defensive lineman Omar Hunter says his team has put in work on and off the field to become more mature football players.

He knows the last couple of years have been tough ones for his team and the fans that follow the Florida Gators. The veteran believes this year will be different and a lot of it has to do with the maturity of his team and they way they have gone about conducting their business. http://florida.scout.com/2/1213546.html 2047 Bob Redman http://florida.scout.com/2/1213546.html Tue, 21 Aug 2012 18:33:00 GMT 0 168 Florida florida The Gators are hard at work on the practice field in Jacksonville as they prepare to face Ohio State in the TaxSlayer.com Gator Bowl. The last time the Gators had a losing season was 1979, and at 6-6 the Gators’ streak is on the line. The guys on Florida’s defense will definitely have their work cut out for them, especially when it comes to facing Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller. http://florida.scout.com/2/1142938.html 2047 Amy Campbell http://florida.scout.com/2/1142938.html Thu, 29 Dec 2011 00:00:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida The Florida defense served as one of the few bright spots Saturday night. The Gators held Florida State to 95 total yards of offense. The problems for the Florida offense didn’t give the Seminoles much incentive to try expanding the playbook, but the Gators played well enough on defense to give the team a chance to win the game. http://florida.scout.com/2/1133113.html 2047 Cody Jones http://florida.scout.com/2/1133113.html Sun, 27 Nov 2011 20:38:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida COLUMBIA, S.C. – Omar Hunter knows the difference between this team and national championships at Florida. It’s this group’s inability to close out games. When he got to Florida as a freshman in 2008, he watched the leadership carry the Gators to win late in games. This season, Florida has struggled with late-game situations with the game on the line. http://florida.scout.com/2/1127857.html 2047 Cody Jones http://florida.scout.com/2/1127857.html Sat, 12 Nov 2011 21:53:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida Omar Hunter says he thinks Florida's defense has made some improvements since the Auburn loss. Still, following another loss to an SEC foe, Hunter sees much room for growth. He says this team is still young and needs to focus on getting better and correcting mistakes. http://florida.scout.com/2/1122784.html 2047 Laura McKeeman http://florida.scout.com/2/1122784.html Sun, 30 Oct 2011 01:17:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida Junior defensive tackle Omar Hunter loves to play in the Florida-Georgia rivalry game. From Buford, Georgia and down to the two schools on signing day before sticking with his commitment to the Gators, Hunter has been on the winning side of the rivalry in his last three years on campus. Hunter talked a bit about this Georgia team and his own with the media on Wednesday. http://florida.scout.com/2/1121862.html 2047 Bob Redman http://florida.scout.com/2/1121862.html Thu, 27 Oct 2011 03:15:00 GMT 0 168 Florida florida The Gators don’t have many upperclassmen to help lead the team through its recent two-game losing streak. Omar Hunter has been a vocal player on and off the field since coming to Florida, but there’s only so much one player can do. Hunter has been encouraged to watch as young players step up and become more vocal through the recent struggles. http://florida.scout.com/2/1117029.html 2047 Cody Jones http://florida.scout.com/2/1117029.html Thu, 13 Oct 2011 16:18:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida Growing up cheering for the Georgia Bulldogs, the Florida-Tennessee rivalry always had interest to Omar Hunter. He was always trying to figure out if there was a way for both teams to lose. After watching the game without a rooting interest as a kid, Hunter knows the importance of the rivalry. His understanding has only increased after playing in the game three times. http://florida.scout.com/2/1105965.html 2047 Cody Jones http://florida.scout.com/2/1105965.html Tue, 13 Sep 2011 03:07:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida The defensive line knows its mission. With a young secondary that started two freshmen and two sophomores on Saturday, they need to get to the quarterback. It's hard to judge the pass rush because of the type of offense Florida Atlantic ran, but senior Omar Hunter thinks they're making progress. http://florida.scout.com/2/1102836.html 2047 Cody Jones http://florida.scout.com/2/1102836.html Sun, 04 Sep 2011 23:31:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida Omar Hunter is in a different setting. After being expected to produce early in his career, he is now viewed as one of the veterans on the defensive line. The young talent on the defensive line could have made Hunter a forgotten player, but his leadership and experience makes him a valuable asset. The younger players lean on him because of his veteran presence. http://florida.scout.com/2/1100041.html 2047 Cody Jones http://florida.scout.com/2/1100041.html Sun, 28 Aug 2011 19:08:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida Omar Hunter isn’t afraid to admit that these bowl practices feel different. It’s not only because Saturday’s Outback Bowl will be Urban Meyer’s final game as head coach. Will Muschamp takes over as Florida’s head coach on January 2, but he is already taking in some practices from the sidelines. http://florida.scout.com/2/1034395.html 2047 Cody Jones http://florida.scout.com/2/1034395.html Mon, 27 Dec 2010 21:24:00 GMT 0 168 Florida florida Defensive tackle Omar Hunter is gearing up for South Carolina and feels he and his team will be ready to take on the Gamecocks. Hunter has 16 total tackles on the season and looks to continue to impress as Florida tries to get back to Atlanta. http://florida.scout.com/2/1020640.html 2047 Laura McKeeman http://florida.scout.com/2/1020640.html Thu, 11 Nov 2010 01:32:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida Laura McKeeman and Cody Jones tell us what we need to know about Tuesday's interviews with players and coaches. Steve Addazio was up first and talked about using three quarterbacks and the challenges it presents. Addazio said he has never used a three quarterback system but he likes the diversity it has presented to Florida's offense thus far. http://florida.scout.com/2/1020178.html 2047 Laura McKeeman http://florida.scout.com/2/1020178.html Tue, 09 Nov 2010 19:57:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida Florida defensive tackle Omar Hunter is a Georgia native, so this week has special implications for him. Hunter says he knows a few UGA players and has lots of friends and family who are Georgia fans coming from deep in Bulldog country. Hunter spoke with the media on Wednesday about the upcoming Florida/Georgia game and what he is expecting from himself and his team. http://florida.scout.com/2/1016157.html 2047 Laura McKeeman http://florida.scout.com/2/1016157.html Thu, 28 Oct 2010 01:05:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida
