I sat in the press box at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium last Saturday afternoon as Florida quarterback Will Grier orchestrated a miraculous comeback in the final frame—in which he went 11-of-18 over the final two drives, tossed two touchdown passes and led the Gators to a 28-27 win over Tennessee—and one thought kept popping into my mind.
The future is now.
In one short month, Grier has transformed himself from QB No. 2 in Gainesville to the future of the Florida football program, and Saturday's sizzling fourth quarter was the college football equivalent of a teenager getting his driver's license.
