Coach Jon Sumrall used one word to describe Florida through four spring practices: inconsistent. With 50+ new players and a roster learning new terminology, that is a reality check. The early spring story is not “who won the job” yet. It’s whether Florida can fix the issues fast enough for Sumrall to feel better about where the team is. #FloridaGators #GatorsFootball #SECFootball #CollegeFootball #GatorsBreakdown #GoGators #CFB #FloridaGatorsFootball JOIN Gators Breakdown Plus: https://gatorsbreakdownplus.com Warner Safari Polos: https://warnersafari.com/discount/gatorsbreakdown Gators Breakdown Merch: https://gatorsbreakdown.printful.me Get Florida Gators merch at Fanatics: https://fanatics.93n6tx.net/DVYxja Questions or comments?

It’s the early install phase, but the responses to adversity and the standards behind the calls are telling — the kind of spring checkpoint we live for here on Gators Breakdown. #FloridaGators #GatorsFootball #SECFootball #CollegeFootball #GatorsBreakdown #GoGators #CFB #FloridaGatorsFootball JOIN Gators Breakdown Plus: https://gatorsbreakdownplus.com Warner Safari Polos: https://warnersafari.com/discount/gatorsbreakdown Gators Breakdown Merch: https://gatorsbreakdown.printful.me Get Florida Gators merch at Fanatics: https://fanatics.93n6tx.net/DVYxja Questions or comments?
