Malik Zaire should get his shot this Saturday
University of Florida quarterback Malik Zaire throws a pass against the Georgia Bulldogs- Florida Gators football- 1280x853Graduate transfer Malik Zaire didn’t come to Florida to sit the bench. He said that much at the Florida Gators’ media day back in August.
The once Notre Dame quarterback graduated and waited for the SEC to back off a graduate transfer rule that would allow him to go to Florida. He passed up other opportunities, namely Wisconsin, Texas, North Carolina and Harvard.
Jim McElwain and Doug Nussmeier, despite Feleipe Franks’ inefficiency and poor play, gave Zaire a couple quarters against Michigan and then a couple of drives over a month later against Georgia.
