GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Florida will spend at least part of its training camp in a hotel as coach Dan Mullen searches for ways to avoid another covid-19 outbreak within the program.

The Gators begin three weeks of fall practice Friday, with Mullen understanding much more about the coronavirus than he did a year ago or even a month ago.

“We’re going to have some protocols that we put in place,” Mullen said Thursday.
