I don't know if it was the only time he played QB at UF or not, but he was
recruited as a QB, he ran the veer offense at Astronaut High School, where he
was a teammate of Wilber Marshall, who played tight end (where he was
originally recruited to play at UF).

As I remember, it may have been the only time he lined up at qb, right?

BATON ROUGE, La. — In the same south end zone where they just had to defend
their manhood one last time, Florida players were now enjoying a celebration
that could be felt all the way back in Gainesville.David Sharpe and Lamical
Perine were waving oversized flags. Cece Jefferson was hugging Gator fans at
the fence. Austin Appleby tossed his wristbands into the orange and blue
crowd.And they sang.Boy, did they sing.“... the orange and blue
VICTOOOOORIOUS!”This was more than a victory over a team that Florida's
players, fans, coaches and just about everybody not an LSU fan felt
disrespected UF, right up to the skirmish on the field before the game.So much
more.“To win the East on a goal-line stand, crazy,” said Caleb Brantley. “It's
the greatest feeling in the world.”They were having their fun Saturday
afternoon for so many reasons. It wasn't just that they won. It was the way
they won. It wasn't just that they won the East. It was that they did it by
going on the road and beating an LSU team that accused them of being scared.“We
were terrified of them boys,” said Jalen Tabor with a straight face. “I guess
out of fear, we just fought back.”You can understand why this team celebrated
this win with so much gusto. The game was taken from them and put in someone
else's backyard. And then the people who took it added insults to the
injury.Seriously, I don't think I've seen a happier Florida football team and I
covered three national championship games.“It feels sooo good,” said Jefferson.
“I love these guys.”There was a lot of love being passed around after a
fistfight came down to one last punch. Florida punched harder, stopping Derrius
Guice just short of what would have been a stadium-rattling touchdown.You
remember Guice. The guy who said the Gators “can't run no more.” Oh, they were
running. All around your end zone as LSU fans grumpily stormed the exits.Hey,
Joe Alleva. How's that two-for-one deal looking now?“It just shocks me that
somebody would question the Gators,” Florida coach Jim McElwain said. “The way
I look at it, they got what they deserved. And it should have been worse.”This
was a huge win for McElwain because of what it means. You certainly could
question some of the calls in the game — like the pivoting pitch on
third-and-inches at the goal line and not going for the jugular after the
fumbled kickoff return.Heck, even he questioned that pitch.“We were denting
them pretty good,” McElwain said. “And we should have kept denting them.”But
all I know is that he has won the East in each of his first two years and the
last guy to win two in a row was on the phone minutes after the game in a
pretty dang good mood.Who in the Gator Nation wasn't?The head coach certainly
was, lecturing us after the game about his football team and even making sure
the people back home know how to go up I-75.“I'm happy for Gator fans who don't
think we're very good, but all we do is end up back in Atlanta,” McElwain
said.Meanwhile in Knoxville, people were being talked off ledges. And In Baton
Rouge, that loud thud you heard was Tiger fans jumping off the Ed Orgeron
bandwagon.On the final play, Guice ran the wrong way. This was after LSU called
timeout to set it up.That goes on your resume, bro.Because of a defense that
learned how to move on to the next play, Florida is going to Atlanta. Because
of the second longest touchdown pass in school history, Florida is going to
Atlanta. Because of a kicker who shook off a rough week and a swirling wind,
Florida is going to Atlanta.And because of a running back who has emerged from
a four-pack to become a 100-yards-a-game machine, an offensive line that
overcame injuries and questions about their effectiveness, defenders like
Marcell Harris and David Reese who combined for 23 tackles, Florida's season
has been extended a week.Considering the two home games they lost, that feels
like justice.The Gators, too, got what they deserved.Contact Pat Dooley at
