Gators eager to return to field following COVID-19 outbreak

GAINESVILLE — UF coach Dan Mullen and his staff opened a unique and challenging week with the team’s usual Monday morning meeting.

It was the first time in 14 days the Gators were together in the same room since a COVID-19 outbreak suspended team activities Oct. 13 and led to the cancellation of two games.

Players were spirited and eager to return to football, Mullen said, though it will take a bit for everyone to re-acclimate to the routine and UF to field a full squad due to medical protocols.

Mullen declined to share specifics on who would be available, but he said the No.
