Do you think Florida players are excited to have one of the best kickers in college football?
RB Mark Thompson showed his appreciation for K Eddy Pineiro after the kicker drilled a 53-yard field goal to extend Florida’s lead over Kentucky to 17-0:

The kick Pineiro made, at 53 yards, was the sixth-longest in Florida history. Last week, Pineiro became the first Florida kicker since 2003 to make three field goals longer than 40 yards in a single game.
He definitely earned that shoe shine.
