Of course this is just a little typical football speak, but it's always fun to hear — especially when it's coming from the team expected to lose by at least 60.
Charleston Southern OL James Nicholson, who played with Tim Tebow at Jacksonville Nease High School, said the Buccaneers can't settle for merely visiting The Swamp. They must shake the Gators up.
"The mentality in the game is to go out and hit them in the mouth and don’t give up," said Nicholson, a redshirt sophomore, told the Sentinel. "Just because we got put down 60 or 70 points or whatever it is, that's not our focus. We'll go out there and execute, every player will do his job. We’ll see how that works out.”
When playing athletes like Florida's, keeping fresh bodies with quick formations and constant lineup rotations is key.
Nicholson said he's excited to see old friends Tebow and Gators OL James Wlson, also a former Nease star.
“He's always been this way," said Nicholson of Tebow. "He's never changed. What I've seen in the national news, I'm not surprised. You could always tell that he was a special guy."
