Florida Gators in the NFL: Could UF stake a claim to RB U?

Is Florida becoming RB U?

Okay, fine: It’s early to make that call. Like, maybe pre-dawn. But who doesn’t want to be excited about Dameon Pierce’s exploits and pursuit of Offensive Rookie of the Year? He had another good game in Week 10, with 94 yards rushing and over 100 scrimmage yards for the sixth time in nine games. Also, another week, another highlight run.

Pierce is fifth in the NFL with 772 rushing yards. That’s almost 200 yards more than the next closest rookie. He has 898 scrimmage yards, 11th in the league, and over 300 more than any other rookie.
