Treon Harris Named Florida Gators Starting QB
Florida used to be known for playing multiple quarterbacks, and it helped Steve Spurrier take the Gators to an elite status and helped Urban Meyer win his first national championship.
“This is still a painting in progress”, McElwain explained. To come out with only one turnover is huge. The biggest thing was taking care of the football. “I definitely feel like I’m a top priority for Florida”. McElwain, the former Alabama offensive coordinator who led Colorado State to a 10-2 record and nearly 500 yards per game last season, looks to rejuvenate a team that went a combined 11-13 the past two years.
Coach Jim McElwain made the announcement following practice Wednesday, saying “I wouldn’t read that much into”. I’m proud of the way they’ve handled it. They’re good friends. “This shows us we can play with anybody out there”.
The Gators are 7-0 against teams from the Rocky Mountain states, including a 70-21 victory over the Aggies in their only other meeting, in 1994. “This was a great experience for us”.
“We actually have no injuries”, Martin noted. “That says a lot about our conditioning program”. This time, followers acquired what they paid for – a one-side rout by the Gators.
Fourteen different receivers caught passes, and the Gators finished with 382 yards through the air and 606 yards total. “They weren’t able to do that”. His 43-yard interception return to the Aggies’ 31 arrange an Eight-yard landing by Cronkrite 4 performs later. It will make Florida a better team, too, if Hargreaves can provide a spark in all three phases. Offense was not NMSU’s problem because it could move the ball.
Florida quarterback Will Grier (7) runs past the New Mexico State defense including linebacker Robert Wagner, center, for a 44-yard run during the first half of an NCAA college football game, Saturday, September 5, 2015, in Gainesville, Fla.
UF put on a clinic offensively, finishing with 61 points and more than 600 yards.
With obvious deficiencies in terms of height and overall size, Harris’ game is predicated on his athleticism, which opens up quite a few possibilities when it comes to the playbook. The sophomore played the first three series, completing all seven of his passes for 119 yards and a touchdown. It’ll be easy for Florida to fall back into its old ways and pound and pound and pound some more against a really, really small line. Tyler Rogers connected with Teldrick Morgan for a score on the ensuing play.
