I said it in an earlier column, but it warrants repeating --- post time for Florida’s opening game versus Northwestern State is 7:27pm EST on Friday.

But as Coach Donovan said in an early week press conference, “we like to run too”.

And run they will. But how do the Gators avoid breaking stride and assure a place in the winner’s circle?
