Golden and Gator football coach Billy Napier were hired only months apart. Both have completed 3 full seasons at UF. In 2006 and 2007, Florida went on a legendary run of winning 2 basketball championships and 1 football title over a period of approximately 1 calendar year. Florida football fans would love to see the basketball championship lead to a championship on the gridiron.
Florida’s Orange and Blue spring game is set for 1 p.m. ET on Saturday.
