Florida prospects talk about loss to Miami

Saturday afternoon’s game in Miami certainly didn’t end the way the Gators hoped it would, as Florida fell to Miami by a score of 21-16.

During the game, Miami hosted several top notch prospects from South Florida, as hundreds of other prospects from around the country watched from home.

Gator Country caught up with a few of Florida’s targets and commitments to get their thoughts on the game.

“We got work to do on the offensive side of the ball but the defense played great. I’m 100% solid though.”

2014 defensive lineman Khairi Clark

“I felt the defense played awesome. The offense was the major factor of the Gators losing the game today but I’m solid.”

2014 offensive lineman Tyrell Crosby

“To me, other than the turnovers, they did a lot of good things.”
