I knew Bama would have to release him eventually.... Had enough bad press this offseason.

Weird on Kinbrough

Riles hurts for UF bcse Oline is a spot we couldn't lose anyone.

Miller wont be missed for TN

LSU having bad luck this go around with practice. Kinda looking like UF a couple years ago under Muschamp. UF lost 28 that one season. Hate seeing kids get hurt esp right before season starts!

UPDATE

Florida's true freshman cornerback C.J. McWilliams has a torn ACL and will miss the season, sources told SEC Country. He was not at Thursday's practice.

McWilliams is one of three cornerbacks the Gators signed in their 2016 class and was expected to see the field in some capacity as a freshman.

He was going to be a good special teams player this year. UF is pretty deep at that spot. But special teams is always good.

seems like more and more players get season ending injuries in college and the NFL every year. seems like most of the time its in practice before the first game is even played.
