FAYETTEVILLE — Florida Coach Dan Mullen used a one-syllable grunt when asked to describe how the Gators operated in their first scrimmage of camp Friday night: Ugh.
“We have a ways to go,” Mullen said. “We haven’t played football in a while. We had missed tackles. We had too many balls on the ground, fumbling, because you’re going live football.”
Another potential factor in the sloppy scrimmaging: It had been a long day for the Gators, who put together an impromptu players’ m a rc h fo r social justice that day before meetings and the scrimmage.
