Florida Suspends All Football Activities due to COVID-19

It doesn’t sound like Dan Mullen will be able to Pack The Swamp this weekend.

After the third-ranked Gators were upset by Texas A&M in front of a relatively large crowd at Kyle Field, the Florida head coach used his postgame press conference to ask the school’s administration to open up Ben Hill Griffin Stadium to a maximum capacity crowd for this week’s game against LSU. Things have changed quite a bit since that fiery speech.

Early Tuesday Florida announced that five football players tested positive for COVID-19. A few hours later athletics director Scott Stricklin announced that all Florida football activities have been suspended due to an uptick in cases.
