UF coach Urban Meyer thinks the NCAA's new clock rules are awful.
Coach Urban Meyer said Monday the one thing he's hoping to improve on offensively is scoring in the red zone.
After finishing in fourth in the Mountain Dew Invitational, UF's Josh Izewski was named the Southeastern Conference's cross country Male Freshman of the Week.
After being plagued by injuries during the early part of the season, things are starting to fall into place for the Gators.
Tim Tebow couldn't even remember the last time he had thrown an interception.
Jeremy Criscione makes running five miles in 24 and a half minutes look easy.
The UF women's tennis team kicked off its season with the Gator Fall Classic tournament. Three players reached the semifinals, and Anastasia Revzina reached the finals before losing to Notre Dame's Kristy Frilling 6-4, 3-6, 1-0 (10-8).
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - One hundred thousand orange T-shirts, and they were all in the wrong hue.
LSU was supposed to be the team that could put an end to UF's dominance of the Southeastern Conference.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn - Man, you're such a frigging stud. You've got the prettiest gal in school walking arm in arm with you almost 24/7. You drive up every day in a sleek Mercedes.

First, if you want to get Urban Meyer mad, talk about the new clock rules. The new rules have significantly reduced the number of plays a team can run, as evident in UF running less than 50 -plays against Tennessee-a game the Gators dominated. The new rules cause the clock to always be reset after a play, barring a timeout. And when teams have 40 seconds, instead of 25, to get a play off, there's less plays that run. Meyer called the new rules "awful."

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - Saturday's contest at Tennessee was supposed to be the first big test to see how much UF's defense had improved. Either the Volunteers' offense wasn't as good as expected, or the Gators passed with flying colors in the 30-6 win.
