Welcome to a Wednesday edition of Gators News! As we inch closer and closer to game day, the excitement continues to build in anticipation of the football team returning to the gridiron. Of course, there are a few other sports of note as well, but let us start with the hand-egg-ball news.

The biggest story is that Florida reported six new COVID-19 positives on Tuesday, though head coach Dan Mullen still expects to play Missouri on Saturday. Mullen did not reveal any information about the current COVID situation at Florida, other than saying the most recent positive test within the program was last Saturday.

Yesterday, both the men’s and women’s golf teams continued play in their respective competitions. The guys finished tied for fourth overall at the conclusion of the Vanderbilt Legends Collegiate, serendipitously with the Vanderbilt Commodores, while the gals dropped a semifinal match to the South Carolina Gamecocks on the second day of the East Lake Cup.

The Lady Gators will compete in the third-place match tomorrow morning at 8:30 a.m. EDT on the final day of play after expected foul weather altered the schedule.
