GAINESVILLE — UF tight end Kyle Pitts is spending what could be his final game in the Swamp on the sideline.
The Gators star pass catcher sat out Saturday night’s visit from LSU due to a lingering injury. Pitts, who leads the team with 11 touchdowns catches, warmed up and ESPN’s Todd McShay reported he was dying to play, but the athletic training staff said he was a little beat up from last week’s win over Tennessee.
“The head coach finally made the decision. Dan Mullen, saying, ‘You know, he’s not going to play tonight. We’re trying to make sure he’s 100% next week,’” McShay said during the ESPN broadcast.
