Florida has dealt with all kinds of drama involving its kicking game this season.
So when news struck on Friday morning that they’d be without K Austin Hardin for the Citrus Bowl due to a rare walk-through injury, all Gators fans had left to do was shake their heads and laugh:
K Austin Hardin injured his ankle in yesterday's walk through. He will not play today. #Gators

Here’s to hoping that this injury doesn’t cost the Gators in what could be a close game against Jim Harbaugh’s Michigan squad.
The Gators have the top kicking prospect for the 2016 recruiting class lined up to help next season, but things will probably be ugly today.
