Video: Gators Birmingham Pep-Rally

BIRMINGHAM, AL.-The Gator football team had one last stop on their Birmingham tour before turning in for bowl game rest.

On Friday night, prior to Saturday’s game, fans, the band, cheerleaders, interim head coach DJ Durkin and select players turned out at the BJCC to get hyped for the matchup versus ECU’s high powered offense.

The players that attended the pep rally were captains for the bowl game: Mike Taylor, Max Garcia, Antonio Morrison, Chaz Green and Dante Folwer Jr.

The five got a quick opportunity to meet new University of Florida President Ken Fuchs.

Linebacker Mike Taylor also took time to punk the fans gathered in the fanzone with a Tim Tebow joke that had everyone’s attention.

For some behind the scenes looks and Taylor turn with the microphone, watch below!
