Video: Florida pays tribute to Steve Spurrier

"It looked different. It felt different. It was different."

This Florida-produced tribute to Steve Spurrier is good, if short. And the length makes sense: I can't imagine that Florida won't go do something more for and with Spurrier now that he's no longer a rival coach, but seeing as he was one for a decade, it would be a little weird for the Gators to have a hagiography in the can, no?

But the really surprising thing is that, with Jeremy Foley and Danny Wuerffel quoted, the best quote about Spurrier comes not from his long-time boss or his best quarterback, but from Cris Collinsworth, whose overlap with Spurrier covered just the 1978 season — when Spurrier, then Florida's quarterbacks coach, moved him from quarterback to wide receiver.
