Florida Football Has Paused Team Activities Four Days Before LSU Game

by Staff Reporter

October 13, 202060 Comments

Justin Ford-USA TODAY Sports

The Florida Gators announced five positive COVID-19 cases on Tuesday afternoon and have paused all team workouts ahead of Saturday's game vs. LSU.

The UF Health and the athletic department's sports medicine staff are expected to re-evaluate the situation on Wednesday. Per FloridaGators.com:

quote:
The University of Florida football team has experienced an increase in positive COVID tests among players this week. Out of an abundance of caution, team activities are paused as of Tuesday afternoon.

Head coach Dan Mullen has been in communication with football players and their parents, and I have had conversations with the Southeastern Conference office, last week's opponent Texas A&M, and this week's opponent LSU.

These circumstances will be re-evaluated by UF Health and the athletic department's sports medicine staff Wednesday.

If Saturday's game is postponed, both schools could possibly reschedule on December 12 which is the weekend before the SEC Championship. LSU's other bye week on November 7 is when Florida plays Georgia.

We suck arse this year and they're still gonna try to avoid playing us LOL!

TDsngumbo•42 months

Okay, we don't suck arse. But we're definitely beatable this year. The tiger fan in me got pissed at myself for my own comment!

NorthTxLSU•42 months

don’t really know why you corrected yourself, we do in fact suck arse this year.

Good, maybe our d may make more progress than theirs.

ExpoTiger•42 months

Will still drop 50 on our defense.

Fightin Okra•42 months

We will drop 42 on theirs

Nix to Twillie•42 months

Not playing this weekend is a win for LSU at this point.

drizztiger•42 months

We'll still give up 50.

Nolaughingmatter•42 months

It’s the only way we won’t lose.

mcpotiger•42 months

That’s the damn truth

tigerterrace•42 months

Neither team wants to risk the L

JoePepitone•42 months

I’m thinking this game will be postponed.

GeauxLSUGeaux•42 months

Would still win easily

sportsaddit68•42 months

Covid strikes after the governor and Dan the Man both said they want to pack the swamp at full capacity. Interesting.

tigersquad89•42 months

They will still score 60 on LSU

Puttmail_393•42 months

Not this season, COVID came to the rescue and saved pelini’s a$$$.

Pleasenewdc•42 months

Megan Mullen had COVID and passed it around the team while she made out with players.

Higgysmalls•42 months

"made out" what are you 12?

Pleasenewdc•42 months

Wow, what an incredible insult Higgy. Would you feel better if I said kiss? Made out fit the sentence better, but I’ll be sure to look through my trusty thesaurus next time, so I can look like a big boy. Don’t be such a bitch, it was a joke.

slicc3333•42 months

Ya Higgy---made out is still used as a common term. Smooch and Necking sound stupid. Don't be such a linguist here on TD.

BobABooey•42 months

They let Tebow play even though he had AIDS...allegedly.

Puttmail_393•42 months

I believe it!

PsychTiger•42 months

Tebow’s tears cured cancer, but gave you AIDS. Quite the dilemma for Florida cancer patients.

FLBooGoTigs1•42 months

we need to cancel the season this COVID aint no joke.

bayou prince•42 months

You wouldn't be saying that if they were winning. You are just another fair weather fan. MLB, NBA, NFL, all sports are doing fine with some minor glitches, and will continue to do so in the future with quick testing and a vaccine comig very soon

lsufan79•42 months

Calm down there Nancy.

And yet they will still have WRs wide open with no LSU DB within 20 yards. Here comes another 600+ yards of offense for GO GATA

Puttmail_393•42 months

Talk about dogging a bullet!

Puttmail_393•42 months

Type error, “dodging”.

AMac•42 months

Excuses, excuses, excuses They don’t want no part of Bo Pelini’s defense.

eugene1928LSU•42 months

They just trying to make us look worse with players out, if they beat our arse.

sdc74•42 months

LMAO.. GOOD ONE!

Sopsher•42 months

Just 2 days ago Mullen requested the school president to allow a packed stadium. I guess karma hit him back!

NASA_ISS_Tiger•42 months

Exactly what I was thinking!

Revelator•42 months

So every time this season that a team is short handed because of Covid, the other team needs to reschedule the game to accommodate the one with positive players?!

whodidthat•42 months

Nah man we have backup teams.

Strannix•42 months

After reviewing LSU game film Merlins decided practice was not needed

Dalosaqy•42 months

Game over. Bye week.
