Fitz’s late drive lifts Bucs over Dolphins

November 20, 2017 general

Monday, 3 a.m. Nothing else mattered. Just the quarterback and the clock. Everything else had faded into the background. The blown lead? It no longer mattered.

Florida finally snaps losing streak in win over UAB

November 19, 2017 general

Sunday, 2 a.m. It meant nothing beyond the game. And maybe, it didn’t have to. When Florida beat UAB, 36-7, on Saturday, it didn’t mean anything to the AP Top 25, which doesn’t include Florida.
