GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) -Florida running back Jeff Demps is wearing a neck brace, but coach Urban Meyer expects him to play Saturday against Georgia.
Demps, second on the team with 457 yards rushing and five touchdowns this season, injured his neck during a tackle in Saturday’s 29-19 win at Mississippi State. Demps ran five times for 13 yards against the Bulldogs.
Meyer says Demps won’t have any contact in practice for at least a couple of days. But the coach believes he will be ready when the top-ranked Gators face the Bulldogs in Jacksonville.
Demps, a 5-foot-8 sophomore from Winter Garden, has played every game the last two seasons.
