Live from the Swamp

Doing a quick once over of the field, non-contact jersey:

Eugene Wilson
Dijon Johnson
Bryce Thornton

Caleb Banks and Chad Gasper aren't dressed at all.

I just saw Clay Millen throw the first pass that I've seen this spring. During the 15 minute open portion throughout the spring, when they were rotating through, I never saw him throw a ball.

 

[Mark Wheeler]

They just explained that the Orange Team won a competition, that is why they are starting out 3-0.

 

[Mark Wheeler]

Jadan Baugh is back to return the opening kickoff.

 

[Mark Wheeler]

DJ Lagway takes the first snap, so we knew it was going to be a run.

Aidan Warner replaced Lagway after one snap.

 

[Mark Wheeler]

Vernell Brown III has his first catch as a Gator. Sturdivant with a heck of a catch that looked like it was about to be picked.

 

[Mark Wheeler]

For those who fret about Billy Napier wearing black, he is wearing a blue and white pullover today.

 

[Mark Wheeler]

Play action pass to a wide open Hayden Hansen for the first score of the game.

 

[Mark Wheeler]

Tank Hawkins is the return man on this kickoff. No return.

Harrison Bailey takes the first snap for the Orange Team.

 

[Mark Wheeler]

This drive has featured Clark, running and catching the ball.

 

[Mark Wheeler]

Abrams should have had that catch on the ball thrown by Bailey.

 

[Mark Wheeler]

Shivers bats a ball at the LOS.

 

[Mark Wheeler]

Bailey's pass goes through Abrams hands, Hylton Stubbs gets the pick.

 

[Mark Wheeler]

Lagway with another snap, and another handoff.

 

[Mark Wheeler]

The defense knows they are running the ball with Lagway in there, and has still given up 7 and 6 yard gains.

 

[Mark Wheeler]

Ja'Kobi Jackson with a highlight reel type of run as he waltz's into the endzone untouched.

 

[Mark Wheeler]

Tank Hawkins with a big kickoff return to get a pop from the crowd.

 

[Mark Wheeler]

At the end of the first quarter, Blue leads 14-3.

The stars of the first quarter:
Aidan Warner
Ja'Kobi Jackson
Hylton Stubbs
Vernell Brown III
Duke Clark
