Speed Kills at the Swamp
University of Florida track extraordinaire and football star running back Jeff Demps speaks during last month’s media day about how he had to put weight on and get in “football” shape. At the time this video was shot, Demps didn’t know if he would be starting for the Gators at tailback or Chris Rainey.
On Monday it appears the offseason weight gain is working in Demps’ favor as UF head coach made a comment during his press conference that Demps would most likely start this Saturday’s game against Charleston Southern.
“If we started tomorrow, Jeff Demps would start at tailback, Brandon James would be the H [Halfback] and David Nelson, Aaron Hernandez, Deonte Thompson and Riley Cooper would lineup on the outside,” Meyer said.
Demps and the Gators kick off the season at 7 p.m. at Florida Field.
