'Canes not (publicly) taking bait after UF's Chatfield says UM not much of a 'challenge'

Their season opener is still more than four months away, but if there was any expectation the Gators and Hurricanes wouldn’t engage in a little spring trash talking, Florida linebacker Andrew Chatfield would like a word.

Actually, the redshirt freshman had more than a few words, it seems.

After the Gators wrapped up one of their spring workouts in Gainesville earlier this week, Chatfield was asked about the challenge Miami could pose, especially because of how strong its front seven was last fall despite the Hurricanes’ 7-6 record.

And Chatfield — who starred at American Heritage-Plantation along with Hurricanes defensive tackle Nesta Silvera — was blunt in his assessment of the Hurricanes.
