Florida Gators Countdown to Kickoff 2021: No. 13 features 13 opportunities
Gainesville Sun-USA TODAY NETWORK When Jim McElwain came to Florida in 2015, he said something entering the fall season that stuck with me: His team would have up to 15 opportunities that fall to take advantage of, 15 chances — if all broke right — to make dreams a reality.
And in as much as football is still mostly a sport played by players striving for glory, that sort of thing makes sense as coachspeak, the sort of exhortative rah-rah stuff that might get some players’ juices flowing and engines revving.
For the fans, it’s way more likely that any college football season provides 13 opportunities to be a fan.
