Gators’ star receiver Antonio Callaway questionable to probable at Tennessee

Callaway missed the team’s game this past weekend against North Texas, and it looks as if his status remains up in the air for this coming Saturday.

Luke Del Rio with team, will travel to Tennessee: Del Rio attended practice this week and was involved in the game plan. “We’ll get some guys ready and will move forward”, McElwain said.

UNT allowed 471 yards on the night after being on the field for 36 minutes, 13 seconds. He may miss two games with a sprained MCL.

Del Rio ended up walking off the field without assistance, and his injury isn’t season-ending.

Littrell said Wheeler did not intentionally try to injure Del Rio.

The 19th-ranked Gators (3-0) will turn to former Purdue starter Austin Appleby against the Volunteers (3-0). When you see something like that, it’s my responsibility when their parents aren’t here, to be their parents.

“I’ve never been around a place where our coach truly cared. They’re mine. When I see something like that, it isn’t right”.

Both teams responded to McElwain’s tirade by stepping onto the field and moving toward the hash marks.

“Coach Mac is a coach that is completely for us”, senior linebacker Jarrad Davis said.

“He came on the blitz, came in tight and he tripped over the tackle’s leg and shot him down”.

On the next play, Florida guard Martez Ivey was ejected for grabbing linebacker Fred Scott by the facemask during a run. I thought Kavaris Harkless did a little bit there and did a great job. Del Rio has been one of the most reliable signal-callers in the SEC, throwing for 762 yards and six touchdowns, while completing 61 percent of his passes. The defense even forced a safety in the first quarter, just to help UNT manage expectations. Dvoracek and UNT coach Seth Littrell are Oklahoma graduates and played for the Sooners under coach Bob Stoops.

“You know what, we’ll play action and throw it deep”, he said.

“All our guys have good arms”, McElwain said. “We’ll know a lot more after today’s practice”.

Unfortunately, they also lost quarterback Luke Del Rio in the process. The Gators are now 0 for 3 on fourth-down tries inside the 10 this season.

Florida will have almost its full contingent of playmakers available for the game as freshman WR Tyrie Cleveland (hamstring) has been cleared to play. He appeared in the opener against UC Davis and started Week 2 against Virginia and caught a 77-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Dakota Prukop. “I’d love to get my hands on the GoFundMe if it’s NCAA approved”.

Last week against Kentucky Florida allowed just three completions and also intercepted the ball three times.
