If you find yourself hearing the last name “Etienne” when announcers are calling touchdowns — Travis does not have any eligibility remaining at Clemson. Instead, it’s his younger brother, Trevor Etienne, who is creating his own path with the Florida Gators.

After having a good game against Utah in Week 1, Etienne was able to officially get on the board against Kentucky, scoring his first touchdown. Following behind his offensive linemen, Etienne broke into open space before pulling off an impressive cut.

Florida had previously been down in the game and retook the lead. He may only be a true freshman but we seem to have another Etienne brother on our hands.

Napier gave his thoughts on the second half before kickoff, saying he wants his team to “settle in and play.” He thinks there are a couple of things they can do better and will end up having a good result when the game ends.

“Just throw and catch it a little better,” Napier said. “A little bit more precision. Defensively, we’ve done a great job. We held them to one play, short play after that turnover there. Just got to settle in and play. Proud of the players and how they’re playing. Little better execution, little more detail, little more discipline.”

Points have been hard to come back for Florida, getting just 16 in the first half. Two came via a safety when a snap went over the Kentucky punter’s head. The ball was kicked out of the end zone and gave us the score heading into halftime, 16-13.
