Florida coach Billy Napier opened fall practice talking to his team about expectations — internal ones, anyway.

Anthony Richardson threw for 240 yards and two touchdowns, a top-level NFL prospect who looked comfortable playing on a Sunday, and Florida handled lower-division Eastern Washington 52-17 in a game delayed a day by Hurricane Ian.

Lew Nichols III ran for 130 yards and a touchdown, leading late replacement Central Michigan to a 24-21 victory over Washington State in the Sun Bowl.

UCF’s long wait for another shot at Florida is over.

The new Florida Gators football coach, fresh off a whirlwind Saturday, arrived in Gainesville on Sunday morning ready to get a start on rebuilding the program.

GAINESVILLE, FLa. – Florida Gators running back Jordan Scarlett and wide receiver Rick Wells, a Raines High School alum, were both suspended by head coach Jim McElwain. Scarlett, who and Wells were suspended from all team activities. Both were involved in a debit card scam that left seven other Gators suspended for Saturday's season opener against Michigan. Scarlett ran for 889 yards and 6 touchdowns last season and is expected to be the leading rusher for the Gators in 2017. Last year, Wells was charged with criminal mischief after he and Tyrie Cleveland shoot BB guns at their on-campus housing, breaking three windows.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – We've spent a lot of time this spring talking about who's going to play quarterback for the Gators next year. But with Demarcus Robinson off to the NFL and Antonio Callaway still suspended indefinitely, the more pressing issue is who's going to be catching those passes. So far the Gators have been practicing without five of their top six reception leaders from a year ago. "I think Ahmad has taken some strides," said McElwain. I think he's a guy that I would circle and say that he's been standing out a little bit."

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Most college football coaches make it a point to not look to far ahead on their playing schedule. After coming off a bye week the Florida Gators have turned their focus to the Georgia Bulldogs. Should be a good time and looking forward to it." I'm just glad he's our quarterback and looking forward to seeing how he progresses this week." If Georgia wins on Saturday they would end up in Atlanta if they close out their SEC schedule with wins over Kentucky and Auburn.
