If we want to beat the gators, we NEED Bowser to get healthy and play the entire game (and thus, STAY healthy through the entire game). Does anyone have any info on the big guy? Is he healed up and plan to play in the Bowl?
Any News on Bowser?

I agree….he sits out and I bet JFlash and Big Kat sit out as well…can’t blame them for that….next Knight up!!!’ JWB!!!!
J-Flash and Bowser played not even half a season. I think they need to play if healthy to put more film out but i tend to think both come back. I don't see them being drafted in the first 5 rounds
Not sure about Big Kat or Bowser but J-Flash was on Twitter asking who is gonna stop #1 & #4 next year??
Sounds like him and O’keefe plan on doing some good things in 22. I would guess he plays and comes back next year.
Yeah I saw that too. Pretty sure he plays.
I hope no one sits out. We need them all. But, curious what gators are sitting out. What do they have to play for?
I’m sure they’ll have some as well (haven’t looked up who might be), but we typically don’t have the depth of the SEC teams so opt outs can hurt us much more.
In addition to a healthy bowser, having a healthy Malzahn would be great. That platform setup was complete meme material 😂
Not that it means he is playing for sure or not but UCF Football just put some pics up on Facebook about the first day of bowl practice and Bowser is right in the mix running sprints with the team?? I take it as a good sign!!

I think that is bowser 3rd from left on starting line photo. And, is that Big Kat two people down from him ?
I believe it is. Not knowing yet if they play but even if opting out they should stay in shape. Once we see game planning pictures it will show who is playing.
Anybody looking to get drafted in the NFL from our team this season needs to provide some more highlight reels. Bowser had too much time out and Big Kat got a late start making big plays. No player will sit out of any of the after season senior bowl type games either unless they are full of themselves and not being real about the extreme competition out there to get drafted.
Someone said he’s transferring.
I was wondering this too. I know they didn't have to sit out and there was a proposal for a one time no sit out transfer. Not sure the status of the whole situation now.
What you say may be true as applied to some players. However, at this stage, many athletes, across all of college football, become very concerned about the risk of injury happening prior to the NFL combines. I think it becomes a matter of choice. They have to manage the pros and cons of their own individual options.
Jacob Harris never was overly impressive in games. It was being healthy, having the measurements, and impressing in workouts after that got him drafted.
Marlon Williams played hard, got injured, didn't have the measurements and goes undrafted.
Playing in games is overrated once you have scouts attention.

That platform setup showed how much bubble gum Guz goes through in a game. That's all the announcers talked about every time the camera went on Guz. Can someone in the marketing department see if they can get a sponsorship from BAZOOKA, or DOUBLE BUBBLE!
G5 guys need to take the risk more than P5 studs in most cases unless you're a physical freak. Our speed guys aren't doing well in the draft lately either. Williams was hurt during the past season according to what I read and not in the post season.
I don’t think he’ll be in League long. 3rd round and he’s pretty much special teams. That rarely happens for an early round skill position guy.
Thanks, I know a Johnny Richardson but not an Anthony. Johnny gonna play pretty good in the bowl game methinks, mehopes!
Praise Odin! This dude is a frickin' problem on the field.

Yes Richardson is good but i heard its knee surgery. So with that said it comes down to the battle of the lines.
Bianchi was speculating about the portal for that guy. Would be great news for us!
Emory is good, but Richardson is like a prime Cam Newton. We simply fail to contain running QBs. This dude alone would put up 200+ yards on the ground against us.
I was just listening to a podcast that was just recorded and they seen it....take it for what its worth i guess. I do know he hurt his knee dancing.
I thought our D did a pretty good job keeping McClain in check. Wasn’t he supposed to be a big running threat?
Considering our consistently poor defensive performances the last 2-3 years, I’ve been pleased with the overall performance this season. TWill seems to be the real deal and we should get a lot better with the improved recruiting everyone expects to see.
We had success against usf, but struggled against Louisville, cincy, and SMU because their quarterbacks were able to stay alive.
Not sure how we would handle Richardson but, in either case, I think T Will will do the most he can with what he’s got. Defense should be a strength moving forward.
