In an otherwise depressing start to UF's season, Elijhah Badger is one of the few bright spots. ... This Pete Rose perspectiive from Mike Sielski is spot on: There's character in the sporting sense, then there's actual character. They're NOT the same thing and you can 't be such a fan that you willfully ignore the difference. ... DJ Uiagalelei's injury made the call to change quarterbacks a lot easier for Mike Norvell in Tallahassee. At least when they get shredded by Clemson this weekend they'll have a built-in excuse for it ... Looks like the Dolphins' season is already toast. Dave Hyde holds nothing back after that flop vs. Tennessee.
