An unpopular theme has emerged this spring for the Florida football team.
Injuries.
Florida has been so depleted by them that it now appears unlikely the Gators will be able to play a traditional game for the Orange & Blue Debut on April 6. The spring game could turn out to be more like another practice.
That was the word from UF coach Will Muschamp on Tuesday.
“We're adjusting as we go as far as this coming Saturday (when a scrimmage is planned) and even with the spring game,” Muschamp said. “It may be more of a practice-like atmosphere for what we're going to do, which will be good from the standpoint of seeing some of the individual work we're trying to do.

Head coach Will Muschamp announced Tuesday that the format for the 2013 Orange and Blue Debut, presented by Sunniland, will be a unique open practice for fans instead of a game, due to numerous injuries which has left the Gators with just six offensive linemen. The format will be similar to the previous 14 practices the Gators have conducted this spring, with some special additions to enhance the experience for fans.
Before, during and after the practice, Coach Muschamp will address the crowd to give them an inside look and an explanation of some of the drills and scrimmage situations the team will be running. The team will still have several 11-on-11 scrimmage periods, but there will also be periods of special teams and individual work mixed in that will closely resemble a normal Gator football practice.
With the altered format, Sunniland and the Florida Farm Bureau have partnered with the University Athletic Association to make the event free for the public. All pre-purchased tickets for the Orange and Blue Debut will be refunded at full cost. Although the event will be free, fans with tickets in luxury seating areas will still need a ticket for entry into the luxury areas.

I was running errands Saturday, so didn't see the coverage, but one of the local sports radio stations basically re-broadcast the audio from the practice. It was a lot of interviews with the coaches and sounded like they were doing a lot of drills. Don't know what to make of that.
Fred Taylor also got interviewed and said he was faster than his son, which I found funny. And it sounded like one of the NFL Network or Fox NFL guys was there as part of the coverage. Not sure about that.

Heard it was kind of disappointing, but I kind of figured it would be seein' as how they gave the tickets away for free.
