Gators Bench Continues Stacking Quality Performances

The No. 1 Florida Gators bench production had been discouraging in the two preseason scrimmages against Baylor and Stetson. They were outscored heavily and outworked by their opponents.

However, the Gators' bench unit has found its footing to start the season, providing an all-around effort to push Florida to a 2-0 start, with wins over the No. 14 Miami Hurricanes and Jacksonville Dolphins.

Florida's bench has outscored its opponents in both games. In the season opener, it scored 22 points compared to the Hurricanes' 14. Then, against the Dolphins, it won the battle 25-21.

Gators head coach Todd Golden has largely relied on Urban Klavzar, Domen Petrovic and Isaiah Brown to pack a punch off the bench in the first two games.
