“At Florida we always expect to win. We expected it today.”

ROBERT GILLESPIE

Florida running back, after 31-10 victory over Louisiana State.

“Our biggest improvement has been in our running game. Our offensive line is doing a hell of a job. They don’t care how their hair is combed, they just line up and play football.”
