RICKY PEARSALL

The Florida Gators received some welcome news as WR Ricky Pearsall announced his return and Alabama OT Damieon George announced his intention to transfer to Florida.

Hey, Gators fans,

Florida will be without five receivers, including Anthony Richardson’s top two targets, for Friday night's game at No. 16 Florida State.

Anthony Richardson threw for 240 yards and two touchdowns, a top-level NFL prospect who looked comfortable playing on a Sunday, and Florida handled lower-division Eastern Washington 52-17 in a game delayed a day by Hurricane Ian.

Anthony Richardson dazzled a packed Swamp in Florida’s season opener.

Hey, Gators fans!

Billy Napier’s methodical, multifaceted approach to returning Florida to national prominence might actually be on a fast track.

The Gators received an injury scare earlier this week with wide receiver Ricky Pearsall, but Jacob Rudner (Swamp 247) reports that the transfer is now listed as day-to-day.

Billy Napier and the Florida Gators get a late addition to the roster in the form of Arizona State transfer wide receiver Ricky Pearsall.

Taylor returned the opening kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown and Arizona State scored twice in the opening 56 seconds to rout rival Arizona 70-7 Friday night. Freshman DeaMonte Trayanum converted an opening Arizona fumble into a 4-yard TD run 43 seconds after Taylor's TD return and the Sun Devils piled on one score after another. Arizona State lost the previous two games it played on last-minute TDs and three more to COVID-19 issues. Arizona State led 42-7 at halftime — most first-half points in Territorial Cup history — despite being outgained 260-241 in total yards. He is 9-20 and has not beaten Arizona State in three seasons in the desert, but also has a large buyout.
