Gators Online Show: Florida vs. UCF preview
Welcome to the Gators Online Show! For episode 106, co-hosts Zach Abolverdi and Nick de la Torre preview the Florida-UCF game this weekend.
We open the show with our takeaways from the bye week. UF took a unique approach to practice by splitting the roster into two teams and also mic’d up multiple players on defense in an effort to improve their communication.
