3 things learned in during low-scoring Gators spring game

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:59:47 GMT

Florida’s spring game got off to a shaky start Thursday night and did not improve much offensively.The Gators failed to score during the opening quarter of an Orange and Blue game for the first time since 2012. The Orange team’s 10-7 win was the lowest-scoring spring game since the school began to keep records in 1996.The previous low was 13-10 in 2011, offensively challenged Will Muschamp’s first season in Gainesville.An encouraging effort on defense and a vanilla offensive game plan played a role Thursday.Quarterback Jack Miller III said the Gators essentially ran, “Day 1 install.”Whatever the case, the offensive slough did not inspire confidence as coach Billy Napier ended his second spring in Gainesville and pushed to move past a 6-7 2022 season.A reported crowd of 42,000, including 2022 quarterback Anthony Richardson, Super Bowl winner Carlos Dunlap and Mike and Maurkice Pouncey, dwindled as the night went on.Here are 3 things learned:1.

After a tumultuous final 10 minutes that saw alternating goals on nearly every possession, Foxboro and Cohasset entered overtime. Nearly a minute into the extra time, Foxboro’s Val Beigel gained possession. The junior, who to that point had four goals in the game, fired the ball into the back of the net to give her Warriors (6-0) a 9-8 nonleague victory. “It didn’t feel real,” Beigel said. “We all worked so hard as a team, and just being able to execute on that last move meant everything.” The Skippers (3-3) did not trail at any point in the game until the sudden death dagger. Head coach Billy Bitter said that despite the final, he learned a lot about his team. “That’s the beauty of sports in general,” Bitter said. “No one team going into the game is better, and I give all the credit in the world to Foxboro. We have a lot to work on but I have all the confidence in the world in this team.” The Skippers started out with three straight goals, and led 4-1 until...
