It was the first thing Will Muschamp mentioned in his pre-spring press conference, and it was a major focus as the coaches open practices. It remains a top priority this offseason. Florida was last in the Southeastern Conference last season with 146.3 yards per game through the air. http://florida.scout.com/2/1292752.html 8 Cody Jones http://florida.scout.com/2/1292752.html Sun, 19 May 2013 03:26:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida Stanford has won the Directors’ Cup 18 years straight. But with spring sports in full postseason swing, The Bootleg has crunched the latest results and Florida is on pace to beat Stanford by nearly 60 points. Read on for the details. http://stanford.scout.com/2/1292748.html 8 Daniel Novinson http://stanford.scout.com/2/1292748.html Sun, 19 May 2013 02:38:00 GMT 1 18 Stanford stanford The Gators need more consistency at the line of scrimmage to become the team that Will Muschamp is trying to build. That starts on the defensive line by creating more of a pass rush. The Gators were ninth in the SEC with just 30 sacks last season and look to boost that number, while the added depth on the offensive line should help solve problems on that side of the ball, too. http://florida.scout.com/2/1292423.html 8 Cody Jones http://florida.scout.com/2/1292423.html Fri, 17 May 2013 14:13:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida Florida head coach Will Muschamp announced on Wednesday that former Florida quarterback Chris Leak has been added to the coaching staff as a quality control coach. Leak served as a four-year starting quarterback for the Gators, winning the school’s second national championship during the 2006 season. http://florida.scout.com/2/1291406.html 8 Cody Jones http://florida.scout.com/2/1291406.html Mon, 13 May 2013 21:26:00 GMT 0 168 Florida florida Spending the first days, weeks, or even years at a new position of authority is going to be a little “rough around the edges." That may go double or triple when you are talking about a head football coach at a major program and the money, pressure, and scrutiny involved with that position. So it was with Will Muschamp in year one plus, but the man seems like he has an answer for everything now. http://florida.scout.com/2/1291221.html 8 Bob Redman http://florida.scout.com/2/1291221.html Mon, 13 May 2013 20:25:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida For the third time in program history, the Florida Gators softball team has swept SEC titles both for the regular season and the post-season tournament. The Gators used several extra-base hits after falling from behind to Missouri to add another trophy to the trophy case and move to 52-7 on the year. http://florida.scout.com/2/1291082.html 8 Bob Redman http://florida.scout.com/2/1291082.html Sun, 12 May 2013 07:47:00 GMT 0 168 Florida florida Will Muschamp and the Florida football staff is in the midst of another outstanding football recruiting class. they know in order to be successful in this state, the southeast corridor of the state is a place they will have to mine for talent frequently. In 2014, the talent is as good as ever and Florida is in the thick of it for a lot of talent in the area. http://florida.scout.com/2/1290658.html 8 Bob Redman http://florida.scout.com/2/1290658.html Fri, 10 May 2013 05:29:00 GMT 0 168 Florida florida If we have heard it once, we have heard it a thousand times from Will Muschamp. The SEC is a ‘line of scrimmage’ league. If you want to win in the SEC, you better be good on both lines of scrimmage. To hear Muschamp talk these days, he is feeling pretty good about the 2013 season and may have everything to do about winning in the trenches in the hardest league in America. http://florida.scout.com/2/1290398.html 8 Bob Redman http://florida.scout.com/2/1290398.html Thu, 09 May 2013 05:51:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida Recruiting somewhere near 25 players a year and managing a roster close to 85 football players means not all decisions are going to be right in your scouting. Add in the issue of inheriting another coach’s roster and there are often times a need to purge from or move guys around on the roster. That isn’t an easy process and rarely works out. Then there are the good stories. http://florida.scout.com/2/1290107.html 8 Bob Redman http://florida.scout.com/2/1290107.html Wed, 08 May 2013 07:06:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida Danny Wuerffel couldn’t wait. He wasn’t supposed to tell anybody about his induction to the College Football Hall of Fame until it was announced on Tuesday, but he had to pick up the phone and call his former head coach, Steve Spurrier, on Monday. Even after the phone went to voice mail, Wuerffel had to take the opportunity to thank his former coach before anyone else knew. http://florida.scout.com/2/1289948.html 8 Cody Jones http://florida.scout.com/2/1289948.html Tue, 07 May 2013 19:47:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida At the end of the spring football session Will Muschamp and staff meet with every football player about their progress from a career standpoint and current progress as it relates to where they are heading. The meeting is to talk about what they need to do to get to the point where they can be the most productive for the program and in some circumstances, whether they expect them to be productive. http://florida.scout.com/2/1289532.html 8 Bob Redman http://florida.scout.com/2/1289532.html Mon, 06 May 2013 04:29:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida The Gators aren’t used to getting swept in conference play. LSU did it in emphatic fashion on Saturday. Florida took an early 2-0 lead in the first inning before the Tigers produced 18 straight runs and cruised to an 18-6 victory over a depleted Florida pitching staff, dropping the Gators to 25-23 on the season and 12-12 in conference play. http://florida.scout.com/2/1289286.html 8 Cody Jones http://florida.scout.com/2/1289286.html Sat, 04 May 2013 21:00:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida At the end of the spring football session Will Muschamp and staff meet with every football player about their progress from a career standpoint and current progress as it relates to where they are heading.

They heard how the national media and college football fans across the country no longer thought highly of the talent in the Florida locker room. The motivation will change this offseason because of the 11-2 record the Gators posted during the 2012 season. http://florida.scout.com/2/1288849.html 8 Cody Jones http://florida.scout.com/2/1288849.html Thu, 02 May 2013 20:56:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida Florida head coach Will Muschamp isn’t shy about his program’s success in the 2013 NFL Draft. It’s a testament to the changes implemented by the Florida coaching staff after taking over the program. Muschamp spent time in New York at the draft and was able to celebrate with first round pick Sharrif Floyd, but the success in the draft went much further than just one player. http://florida.scout.com/2/1288671.html 8 Cody Jones http://florida.scout.com/2/1288671.html Thu, 02 May 2013 04:20:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida The post-spring injury report produced good news for Florida. With two torn ACLs and a shoulder injury clouding the depth chart at linebacker, Florida head coach Will Muschamp expects Ronald Powell to return healthy to his BUCK linebacker position this fall. He’ll be joined by freshmen Alex Anzalone and Matt Rolin, who both got will be ready to go early in fall camp. http://florida.scout.com/2/1288633.html 8 Cody Jones http://florida.scout.com/2/1288633.html Thu, 02 May 2013 02:10:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida With eight Gators selected in the first six rounds of the NFL draft this past weekend, we can take a look ahead at what the 2014 draft may have to offer up in terms of Florida Gators. It is a pretty small senior class, but still several players that very well could and should be playing ball beyond their last year on the Florida squad. With third year players eligible, we can look at them too. http://florida.scout.com/2/1288535.html 8 Bob Redman http://florida.scout.com/2/1288535.html Wed, 01 May 2013 18:36:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida South Carolina defensive end Jadeveon Clowney is the top ranked prospect for next year's NFL Draft eligible players. http://profootball.scout.com/2/1287378.html 8 Jamie Newberg http://profootball.scout.com/2/1287378.html Mon, 29 Apr 2013 14:53:00 GMT 0 127 NFL profootball The NFL Draft ended on Saturday with eight former Florida players being selected over the three-day event, falling just one short of the school record. The Gators ended the draft with the fourth most players selected of any college. The Southeastern Conference had a record-breaking 63 players chosen. http://florida.scout.com/2/1287563.html 8 Cody Jones http://florida.scout.com/2/1287563.html Sun, 28 Apr 2013 01:25:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida
