GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) – Will Muschamp grew up in Gainesville, attended every Florida game he could and even sold drinks in the stands to earn a little money.
He longed to play for the Gators, but ended up as a walk-on at rival Georgia because he “suffered some temporary insanity there for a while.”
Now, nearly two decades later, Muschamp finally gets his time in The Swamp. The Muschamp era officially begins Saturday when the 22nd-ranked Gators open the season against Florida Atlantic and retiring coach Howard Schnellenberger. Muschamp’s debut comes with intriguing subplots, unanswered questions and the first real look at the team’s revamped offense and defense.
Muschamp says he’s anxious for the opener, knowing that he will be “measured on game day.”
