The lack of a spring game and the general lack of access to spring practice has been a sore spot for some Gator fans this offseason. I sympathize with the resentment. I wanted to get a preview of this fall’s team. Instead, about all we got other than press conferences was an Instagram live stream featuring stretching, drills, UF alums plugging their new books, and camera shots from a mile away of the actual football-like activities.
Scott Stricklin chose not to have a spring game because the Swamp was being used as a major COVID-19 testing and vaccine site.
