Florida fans itching to get a head start on the 2001 season should use today's Orange and Blue game to beat the rush in naming a quarterback. If the past four seasons are any indication, the names of quarterbacks Rex Grossman and Brock Berlin will be used in hybrid fashion many, many times in 2001.
Today is just the start.
The annual intrasquad game marks the conclusion of spring drills, but is merely the beginning of a quarterback battle that will be the most analyzed, scrutinized and talked-about aspect of UF's preseason. Grossman will quarterback the Blue team, Berlin the Orange. We're not at that level now. If we're going to pitch it 40 or 50 times a game, we have to find some way to get there. Grossman should have the edge.
