in Sports/Top Headlines by

A sluggish offense finally caught up to the University of Florida Saturday night. The FSU defense made sure that it did. The Seminoles defense won a muscle contest with Florida Saturday night, giving up only a safety in a 27-2 victory. Dalvin Cook’s two fourth-quarter touchdowns – 15 and 29 yards – made the final score much bigger than the differences between the teams on the field. Florida had struggled for most of November on offense, barely beating Vandy, South…

Clutch kick leads Gators’ Austin Hardin to Sunshine State Player of Week

in Sports/Top Headlines by

The University of Florida’s Austin Hardin made that kick, a 43-yarder, to pull out a 9-7 victory over Vanderbilt Saturday. He had been benched after going three-for-seven on the year, but with the game on the line, the Gators gave him a second…

Future opponent Dabo Swinney says Dalvin Cook is the best

in Sports/Top Headlines by

Clemson coach Dabo Swinney has voted, and he says that FSU’s Dalvin Cook is the best running back in the country. Swinney, of course, is a bit biased. He has a game coming up against FSU, and therefore, he’ll have to stop Cook. He does not have to worry about LSU’s Leonard Fournette, Ohio State’s Ezekial Elliott, Utah’s Devontae Booker or Stanford’s Chris McCaffrey. Swinney said that Cook “is the best running back in the country” while discussing the job…
