So, OC isn't saying anything and HC is?

One reporter from Gainesville the other from Palm Beach?

Another example of the reasons I appreciate "one voice" from the program.

As soon as I get out of this fight with public works I'll research this a bit more.

It's my best guess/bet that he hasn't even been evaluated yet by an MRI, etc.

It's Weds. so the "tweaked" has to be coming from his mid-week presser I'd guess...

Didn't Chapman have an ACL injury for us in 2011 but play through the NC game?

Yes.

It appears to be the other knee as far as I can tell.

Easley looked to play with lots of speed against ut. I seem to remember him beating the Viles line getting around them, not clogging things up like Chapman. I think that would make for a huge difference when evaluating the effectiveness of someone competing with a bum ACL. Bad for him. He looked tough last weekend.

Murphy may give Florida a better offense than Driskel... then again Tennessee is awful so they could probably make any QB look amazing.

As much as I loath UF I have really enjoyed watching Easley. He is balls to the wall every play.

Florida running back Matt Jones will miss the rest of the season due to a knee injury sustained against LSU Saturday, according to UF coach Will Muschamp.

Jones' injury was initially thought to be a sprain, but was later diagnosed as a torn meniscus. Jones was the Gators' leading rusher with 292 yards.

But his season had barely gotten started before it ended, as he missed UF's first game with a viral infection, and according to Muschamp, wasn't fully healthy until a Week 4 win over rival Tennessee.

Th



Jones (6-foot-2, 225 pounds) is only a true sophomore, and thus ineligible for the 2014 NFL Draft.

UF has been beset by injuries all year, including a season-ending knee injury to star defensive tackle Dominique Easley, but it's been on the offensive side of the ball where the injuries have struck most. Other offensive starters out for the season for UF include quarterback Jeff Driskel and offensive lineman Chaz Green. Reserve receiver Andre Dubose, like Green, was also lost for the year in the preseason.

UGA seems competitive in this area, too.
