Mike Zunino didn’t change the game once Tuesday — he changed it twice.

Taking a breather from behind the dish, Zunino secured the spot as the designated hitter in the Bethune-Cookman matchup, while freshman Taylor Gushue took the pads for the night. ]]> http://gatorchomp.com/2012/02/22/mike-zunino-slams-two-solo-homers/feed/ 0 http://www.gatorcountry.com/football_recruiting/article/texas_te_smythe_lands_florida_offer/13633 http://www.gatorcountry.com/football_recruiting/article/texas_te_smythe_lands_florida_offer/13633#comments Wed, 22 Feb 2012 19:44:01 +0000 ray@gatorcountry.com http://www.gatorcountry.com/football_recruiting/article/texas_te_smythe_lands_florida_offer/13633#When:14:44:01Z
When the Gators have extended an offer to a prospect to Texas, typically there has been a smart reason. In the case of Belton, Texas, tight end Durham Smythe, it appears that UF's coaches simply figure the kid was too perfect of a fit not to offer. ]]> http://gatorchomp.com/2012/02/22/texas-te-smythe-lands-florida-offer/feed/ 0 http://www.gatorcountry.com/baseball/article/preston_tucker_lifts_florida_to_win/13635 http://www.gatorcountry.com/baseball/article/preston_tucker_lifts_florida_to_win/13635#comments Wed, 22 Feb 2012 19:14:00 +0000 ray@gatorcountry.com http://www.gatorcountry.com/baseball/article/preston_tucker_lifts_florida_to_win/13635#When:14:14:00Z
Tucker didn’t reach 214, but he did ensure an 8-6 Gators' victory against the Bethune-Cookman Wildcats (2-2) with his sinking RBI single into right field scoring fellow senior Daniel Pigott to put the Gators up by one run.

Until the eighth, Tucker wasn’t the same player who leads the Gators in batting average, RBI and slugging percentage. In his previous four at-bats, the slugger found a Wildcats’ glove every time. ]]> http://gatorchomp.com/2012/02/22/preston-tucker-lifts-florida-to-win/feed/ 0 http://www.gatorcountry.com/basketball/article/ufs_will_yeguete_fractures_left_foot/13634 http://www.gatorcountry.com/basketball/article/ufs_will_yeguete_fractures_left_foot/13634#comments Wed, 22 Feb 2012 08:16:00 +0000 ray@gatorcountry.com http://www.gatorcountry.com/basketball/article/ufs_will_yeguete_fractures_left_foot/13634#When:03:16:00Z
Sophomore power forward Will Yeguete, playing in his second game since suffering a concussion against Tennessee a week and a half ago, came down awkwardly on his left foot during the second half. He left the game to get X-rays and Florida's University Athletic Administration confirmed he sustained a fracture in his left foot. ]]> http://gatorchomp.com/2012/02/22/uf%e2%80%99s-will-yeguete-fractures-left-foot/feed/ 0 http://www.gatorcountry.com/basketball/article/will_yeguete_gets_x_rays_may_have_broken_foot/13634 http://www.gatorcountry.com/basketball/article/will_yeguete_gets_x_rays_may_have_broken_foot/13634#comments Wed, 22 Feb 2012 08:16:00 +0000 ray@gatorcountry.com http://www.gatorcountry.com/basketball/article/will_yeguete_gets_x_rays_may_have_broken_foot/13634#When:03:16:00Z
Sophomore power forward Will Yeguete, playing in his second game since suffering a concussion against Tennessee a week and a half ago, came down awkwardly on his left foot during the second half and left the game to get X-rays on his foot.

“I’m worried right now that Yeguete broke his foot,” Donovan said. “I don’t know that that’s the case, but he is at [Shands Hospital] right now getting X-rayed. So that’s the concern right now is a broken foot. I can’t confirm that, but that’s what we’re trying to figure out.” ]]> http://gatorchomp.com/2012/02/22/will-yeguete-gets-x-rays-on-left-foot/feed/ 0 http://www.gatorcountry.com/basketball/article/second_half_surge_leads_to_florida_win/13632 http://www.gatorcountry.com/basketball/article/second_half_surge_leads_to_florida_win/13632#comments Wed, 22 Feb 2012 07:47:00 +0000 ray@gatorcountry.com http://www.gatorcountry.com/basketball/article/second_half_surge_leads_to_florida_win/13632#When:02:47:00Z
Early this week, coach Billy Donovan reiterated that just because the Gators were coming off a terrific game, it didn’t mean they would continue playing well on Tuesday night against the Tigers. His comments were almost prophetic.

Twelve first-half turnovers and a sloppy start to the game left Florida (22-6, 10-3 SEC) trailing 30-27 at the half against Auburn (14-13, 4-9 SEC).

“Coach was mad as I don’t know what,” freshman guard Brad Beal said. “He said words we can’t even describe at halftime. It was real frustrating in the first half, we weren’t playing well at both ends of the floor. The focus just wasn’t there.” ]]> http://gatorchomp.com/2012/02/22/second-half-surge-leads-to-florida-win/feed/ 0 http://www.gatorcountry.com/football_recruiting/article/florida_joins_race_for_marcell_lazard/13630 http://www.gatorcountry.com/football_recruiting/article/florida_joins_race_for_marcell_lazard/13630#comments Wed, 22 Feb 2012 07:14:00 +0000 ray@gatorcountry.com http://www.gatorcountry.com/football_recruiting/article/florida_joins_race_for_marcell_lazard/13630#When:02:14:00Z ]]> http://gatorchomp.com/2012/02/22/florida-joins-race-for-marcell-lazard/feed/ 0 http://www.gatorcountry.com/football_recruiting/article/gators_legacy_likes_new_uf_staffers/13631 http://www.gatorcountry.com/football_recruiting/article/gators_legacy_likes_new_uf_staffers/13631#comments Wed, 22 Feb 2012 07:10:00 +0000 ray@gatorcountry.com http://www.gatorcountry.com/football_recruiting/article/gators_legacy_likes_new_uf_staffers/13631#When:02:10:00Z
“The visit was a great visit for me,” said, Kurzu, who’s father suited up for the Gators. “I finally got the opportunity to meet coach (Tim) Davis, the new offensive line coach at Florida.”

The 6-foot-4, 295-pound Kurzu was impressed with Davis, and for a lot of reasons. ]]> http://gatorchomp.com/2012/02/22/gators-legacy-likes-new-uf-staffers/feed/ 0
