Historia

La Universidad de Florida se estableció en Gainesville en 1906 y presentó su primer equipo de fútbol universitario oficial ese otoño . En 112 años de fútbol, ​​Florida ha jugado en más de 40 juegos de bolos ; ganó tres campeonatos nacionales ( 1996 , 2006 y 2008 ) y ocho campeonatos de la Conferencia del Sureste ( 1991 , 1993 , 1994 , 1995 , 1996 , 2000 , 2006 y 2008 ) y ha producido tres ganadores del Trofeo Heisman , más de 90 All-Americans del primer equipo y 50 selecciones de draft de primera ronda de la Liga Nacional de Fútbol Americano (NFL) .

Desde 1906, Florida Football ha tenido 26 entrenadores en jefe, incluidos tres que fueron incluidos en el College Football Hall of Fame por su éxito como entrenadores. Su primer entrenador en jefe fue Pee Wee Forsythe y Dan Mullen se convirtió en el entrenador en jefe más reciente de los Gators en 2018.

Florida Football compitió durante sus primeras temporadas como independiente antes de unirse a la Asociación Atlética Intercolegial del Sur en 1912. Se mudaron a la Conferencia Sur en 1922, luego se fueron con una docena de otras escuelas para establecer la nueva Conferencia Sureste (SEC) en 1932. Florida es una de las catorce instituciones miembros de la SEC, y el equipo de fútbol ha competido en la División Este de la SEC desde que la liga comenzó el juego divisional en 1992.

Florida juega un calendario SEC de ocho juegos, con seis juegos contra los otros equipos de la División Este: Georgia , Carolina del Sur , Tennessee , Kentucky , Missouri y Vanderbilt . El calendario se completa con un juego anual contra el estado de Louisiana y un equipo rotativo de la División Oeste de la SEC. Hasta 2003, los Gators también jugaron contra Auburn cada temporada, pero las contiendas en la rivalidad ahora son eventos poco frecuentes como parte del sistema de oponentes rotativos de la SEC.

Las rivalidades clave de la conferencia incluyen el juego anual Florida-Georgia en Jacksonville, Florida (generalmente alrededor de Halloween ), la rivalidad Florida-Tennessee (generalmente a mediados de septiembre) y la rivalidad entre divisiones Florida-LSU con su enemigo permanente de la División Oeste de la SEC (en principios a mediados de octubre).

Florida también ha enfrentado a su rival en el estado Florida State todos los años desde 1958, generalmente enfrentándose en el último juego de la temporada regular. El surgimiento de los dos equipos como potencias perennes del fútbol durante las décadas de 1980 y 1990 ayudó a convertir la rivalidad Florida-Florida State en un juego que a menudo tiene implicaciones de títulos nacionales. Antes de 1988, el rival en el estado Miami también era un oponente anual; Debido a los horarios de conferencias ampliados, la rivalidad Florida-Miami se ha renovado solo tres veces en la temporada regular y dos veces en los juegos de bolos desde entonces. Las fechas restantes en el calendario regular de Florida están ocupadas por oponentes que no forman parte de la conferencia y que varían de un año a otro.

Campos de inicio

Los equipos de deportes al aire libre de Florida inicialmente jugaron la mayoría de sus partidos en casa en un parque municipal cerca del centro de Gainesville. En 1911, la universidad instaló gradas junto a una zona de césped en el borde norte del campus y lo denominó University Athletic Field, que se amplió y se renombró Fleming Field en 1915.

El programa de fútbol finalmente se trasladó a un estadio moderno en 1930, cuando la universidad construyó 22.000 asientos en el Florida Field al sur de Fleming Field. En 1989, el nombre se extendió a "Florida Field en Ben Hill Griffin Stadium" para honrar al ex alumno y benefactor deportivo Ben Hill Griffin . En 2016, el ex jugador y entrenador Steve Spurrier fue honrado al agregar su nombre al nombre del campo; ahora se conoce oficialmente como "Steve Spurrier-Florida Field en el estadio Ben Hill Griffin". La instalación también se conoce comúnmente como "El pantano", un apodo que Spurrier acuñó en 1992, cuando era el entrenador de cabeza de Florida. Florida Field ha sido renovado y ampliado muchas veces a lo largo de las décadas y tiene una capacidad de casi 90.000.

Incluso después de que se construyó Florida Field, Florida ocasionalmente programaba juegos "en casa" en otras ciudades del estado, con mayor frecuencia en Tampa o Jacksonville. Esta práctica era común en los primeros años del programa, cuando el campo local de los Gators era más pequeño y viajar a Gainesville era más difícil. La frecuencia de estos partidos rotativos en casa había disminuido de uno o dos partidos por temporada en la década de 1930 a uno cada pocas temporadas en la década de 1980. Con la excepción del tradicional juego de rivalidad contra Georgia, los Gators no han programado ningún juego en casa fuera de Gainesville desde que Florida Field se expandió para convertirse en el estadio de fútbol más grande del estado en 1990.

Afiliaciones de conferencias

El programa de fútbol de Florida es miembro fundador de la Southeastern Conference , que comenzó a jugar en 1933. Antes de eso, los Gators estaban afiliados a dos conferencias diferentes después de haber fundado el programa sin una afiliación a la conferencia. [4] [5] [6] [7]

  • Independiente (1906-1911)
  • Asociación Atlética Intercolegial del Sur (1912-1921)
  • Conferencia del Sur (1922-1932)
  • Conferencia del Sureste (1933-presente)

Campeonatos

Campeonatos nacionales

Los Gators de 1996 , 2006 y 2008 ocuparon el puesto número 1 en las encuestas finales de entrenadores y AP y fueron reconocidos como campeones nacionales de consenso después de ganar juegos de campeonato nacional de postemporada. [8]

Los Gators de 1984 fueron reconocidos como campeones nacionales por The Sporting News , The New York Times y las clasificaciones de Billingsley, DeVold, Dunkel, FACT, Matthews y Jeff Sagarin . Sin embargo, terminaron terceros en la encuesta AP final y séptimos en la encuesta final de entrenadores de UPI detrás de los Cougars de BYU , que fueron número uno en las dos principales encuestas y, por lo tanto, se consideraron los campeones nacionales en la era anterior al Bowl Alliance y BCS. [12] Los Gators de 1985 terminaron en quinto lugar en la última encuesta AP de 1985 y fueron reconocidos como campeones nacionales por un seleccionador menor. [13] En parte debido a que el programa de fútbol estaba en libertad condicional de la NCAA a mediados de la década de 1980, la universidad nunca ha reclamado una parte del campeonato nacional para la temporada de 1984 o 1985. [14]

Campeonatos de conferencias

Florida ha ganado un total de ocho campeonatos de la SEC. Los Gators ganaron su primer campeonato con un récord de conferencia de 5-0-1 en 1984, pero el título quedó vacante varios meses después de que la temporada terminara por los presidentes de la SEC de la universidad debido a infracciones de la NCAA por parte del cuerpo técnico de Florida bajo Charley Pell. Los equipos de 1985 y 1990 también terminaron en la cima de la clasificación con récords de conferencia de 5-1 y 6-1, respectivamente, pero Florida no fue elegible para el campeonato debido a su libertad condicional de la NCAA por violaciones de las reglas por parte de entrenadores anteriores. Los Gators ganaron su primer campeonato oficial de fútbol de la SEC en 1991. [15]

Campeonatos de división

Con la incorporación de Arkansas y Carolina del Sur a la Conferencia del Sureste en 1992, la conferencia se dividió en divisiones este y oeste y un juego entre los ganadores de las divisiones determinó al campeón de la SEC. Florida ha hecho trece apariciones en el Juego de Campeonato de la SEC (la mayor cantidad de cualquier escuela de la SEC), la más reciente en 2020 . Los Gators han ganado siete de los doce Juegos de Campeonato de la SEC en los que han aparecido, a la espera del resultado del concurso de 2020.

† In 1992, Florida finished the season tied with Georgia for the SEC East; however, Florida had defeated Georgia and won the tie-breaker to represent the division in the 1992 SEC Championship Game. In 2003 Florida ended the regular season in a three-way tie for the SEC East title with Georgia and Tennessee, and in 2012 the Gators were tied with Georgia. According to the SEC's tie-breaking procedure, Georgia was selected to represent the division in the 2003 SEC Championship Game and 2012 SEC Championship Game.

Juegos de bolos

Florida has appeared in 45 NCAA-sanctioned bowl games, garnering a 24–21 record. This includes a streak of 22 consecutive bowl-game appearances from 1991 through 2012, the fifth-longest in college football history.[28] Four of their bowl games were for a National Championship, with two under the Bowl Alliance and two in the Bowl Championship Series. Florida is 3–1 in national championship games.

All-time record against in-state opponents

The University of Florida's athletic program operated with a limited budget for the first several years after its establishment in 1906. To reduce travel costs, early Florida football teams played limited slates of games, mostly against squads from nearby schools. Local scheduling resulted in the development of gridiron rivalries with several in-state private colleges, most notably Stetson, Florida Southern, and Rollins. Of those early opponents, Florida Southern and Rollins no longer sponsor intercollegiate football programs and, after dropping the sport for half a century, the Stetson Hatters compete in a lower division of college football. Florida also scheduled occasional games against teams organized by local athletic clubs or nearby military bases during the first half of the 20th Century, particularly during the two world wars. However, the Gators have not played a non-collegiate squad since 1945.[58]

In more modern times, Florida began an annual rivalry with the University of Miami Hurricanes in 1938 that continued uninterrupted until 1987. The teams have met on an occasional basis since then and are still considered rivals. Florida State (FSU) established a football program in 1947 and first faced Florida in 1958, beginning a series that was uninterrupted until the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 resulted in both schools playing conference-only schedules. The Gators have also scheduled occasional contests against several Florida schools with newer football programs, usually in Gainesville.

Rivalidades

Georgia

Steve Spurrier under center v. Georgia, 1966

Historically, Georgia has been Florida's most hated and fierce rival. Previously known as "The World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party," and now most commonly called the "Florida–Georgia game" by Gator fans, this rivalry often decides the SEC East and has national implications.[72] The game is held at TIAA Bank Field in Jacksonville, Florida, usually on the last Saturday in October or the first Saturday in November.[73] The designated "home" team alternates, with ticket distribution split evenly between the schools.[74] Since 2009, the Okefenokee Oar has been awarded to the winner of the Florida-Georgia game.[75]

In the rivalry's early years, games rotated among locations in Savannah, Tampa, Jacksonville and, occasionally, Gainesville and Athens.[62] Since 1933 the game has been played in Jacksonville, except for 1994 and 1995 (when the teams played a pair of home-and-home games at their respective stadiums).[62] Georgia had early success in the rivalry, winning the first six games and holding a 21–5–1 series lead before 1950.[62] After the 2018 game Florida has won 21 out of the most-recent 29 games, and holds a 38–30–1 advantage in the series since 1950.[62] Georgia lead the series overall 53–44–2 through the 2020 season.[76]

Tennessee

Tim Tebow in the spread v. Tennessee, 2007

Although Florida and Tennessee are charter members of the SEC, irregular conference scheduling resulted in the teams meeting infrequently for many years. Tennessee won the first ten games between 1916 and 1954, when Florida finally defeated the Volunteers.[69] In 1969, Florida hired Tennessee head coach (and former Florida quarterback) Doug Dickey to replace the retiring Ray Graves immediately after their teams met in the Gator Bowl.[77]

The rivalry reached a peak during the 1990s. In 1992, the SEC expanded to twelve schools and split into two divisions.[78][79] Florida and Tennessee (in the Eastern Division) have met every year since, usually in mid-September for both teams' first conference game of the season.[69] Led by coaches Steve Spurrier and Phillip Fulmer and featuring players such as Danny Wuerffel and Peyton Manning, both teams were regularly ranked in the top 10 when they met, giving the rivalry conference and national title implications. Florida and Tennessee combined to win six SEC titles and two national championships during the 1990s.[80]

Since becoming annual opponents in 1992, the Gators and Volunteers have combined to represent the Eastern Division in the SEC Championship Game 16 times. Florida had an 11-game winning streak against Tennessee (2005–2015) and leads the series 29–20 through the 2019 meeting.[81]

Florida State

2007 Florida State game

The University of Florida and the Florida State College for Women became co-educational in 1947.[82] The new Florida State Seminoles football team began playing small colleges, moving up to the major-college ranks in 1955.[83] Almost immediately, Florida State students and supporters called for the teams of Florida's two largest universities to play each other annually.[84]

Contrary to popular belief, Florida's state legislature did not decree that Florida and Florida State should meet on the field; a bill mandating the game was rejected by the Florida Senate.[85] Prodding by Florida governor LeRoy Collins facilitated an agreement between the two universities to begin an annual series in 1958.[86] Due to Florida State's smaller stadium, the first six games were played at Florida Field. The series has alternated between the campuses since 1964, when Doak Campbell Stadium in Tallahassee was expanded.[87] The Florida–Florida State game has had national-championship implications since 1990, and both teams have entered the game with top-10 rankings thirteen times.[88] Among these was the Sugar Bowl rematch at the end of the 1996 season, when Florida avenged its only regular-season loss and won its first national championship 52–20.[89]

Florida dominated the early series with a 16–2–1 record through 1976. Both teams have produced significant winning streaks, and the series is nearly tied over the past four decades; Florida State holds a 21–20–1 advantage since 1980. Since 2000, the teams share 10-10 records against one another. Florida leads the all-time series 36–26–2 through the 2019 season.[90]

LSU

Florida and LSU first met on the football field in 1937, and have been annual opponents since 1971.[64] Since 1992, LSU has been Florida's permanent inter-divisional rival from the SEC Western Division. The winner of the Florida–LSU game went on to win the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) national championship game in the 2006, 2007, 2008,and 2019 seasons. This rivalry has been known recently for close games, with both teams highly ranked. Florida leads the all-time series 33–31–3 through the 2020 season.[91]

Auburn

Auburn and Florida played annually from 1945 to 2002.[61] In the overall series won-lost record, Auburn is Florida's most evenly-matched SEC opponent. Beginning in the 1980s, one team was usually highly ranked coming into the game and it had conference- and national-title implications.[92][93] The series has had several notable upsets. Auburn defeated previously-unbeaten Florida teams in 1993, 1994, 2001, 2006 and 2007, although the Gators won SEC championships in 1993, 1994 and 2006.[15]

The annual series ended in 2002, when the SEC adjusted its football schedules so each team played one permanent and two rotating opponents from the opposite SEC division every year (instead of one rotating and two permanent teams).[94] When Texas A&M and Missouri joined the conference in 2012, the schedule was changed again; each team played one permanent and one rotating opponent from the opposite division every year. LSU was designated as Florida's annual SEC Western Division opponent, and Florida and Auburn play two regular-season games every 12 years. Auburn leads the series 43–39–2 through the 2019 season.[95]

Miami

Miami is Florida's only pre-World War II in-state rival that still plays major college football. The schools first met on the gridiron in 1938 and again every season until 1987, when the SEC's expansion of its conference schedule to seven games precluded the annual matchup.[96] A contract to renew the annual rivalry in the 1990s fell through when the SEC expanded its schedule again to eight games, and the Florida and Miami did not play again until the 2001 Sugar Bowl.[97] The home and home series briefly resumed in 2002 and 2003, and they played again in the 2004 Peach Bowl.[97] Since then, the schools have played intermittently during the regular season, with home and home series split across several years.

Miami leads the series 29–27 through the 2019 season.[98] The next scheduled matchup between the schools will be in Gainesville on August 31, 2024.

Alabama

Although the series started in 1916, many consider the rivalry between Florida and Alabama to have started in 1992, with the advent of the SEC Championship Game.[99] Both teams have each appeared in 13 of the 29 conference championship games, which 10 of those matches being against each other, the most common matchup so far. Alabama currently leads the conference championship match-up 6–4, following the most recent match-up between both programs, the 2020 SEC Championship Game, which saw Alabama beat Florida 52–46.[100]

Alabama has led the series 26–14 since the end of the 2020 season.[101]

Fergie Ferguson Award

The Fergie Ferguson Award is given in memory of one of the University of Florida's finest athletes, Forest K. Ferguson. Ferguson was an All-SEC end for Florida in 1941 and state boxing champion in 1942. Subsequently, a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army, he led an infantry platoon during the D-Day landings in Normandy on June 6, 1944.[135] Ferguson helped clear the way for his troops to advance on the Axis position, and was severely wounded leading his men in the assault.[135] A recipient of the Distinguished Service Cross for his actions,[135] he died from war-related injuries in 1954. The award, a trophy, is given to the senior football player who most displays "leadership, character, and courage."[136]

Ring of Honor

The University of Florida Athletic Association established the Florida Football Ring of Honor in 2006 to recognize the program's greatest players and coaches during the 100th year of Gator football. (The Gators do not have any retired jersey numbers. Although Steve Spurrier's (11) and Scot Brantley's (55) numbers were retired in the 1970s, Spurrier reissued them when he was Florida's head coach, and numbers worn by all members of the Ring of Honor are available for use by current players.)[137]

Originally, members of the Ring of Honor had their jersey painted on the endzone facade at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. When expanded video screens were installed in that location a few years later, inductees were each recognized with an 18-foot wide sign perched atop the north endzone grandstand.[138] Five honorees were inducted in 2006 and 2007, with Tim Tebow added in 2018.[139] To date, the only person who meets the Ring of Honor criteria and has not yet been inducted is two-time national championship winning former head coach Urban Meyer.[140]

Uniformes

Florida's most common home uniform since 1990
Florida's "Swamp green" alternative uniforms, October 2017

The Florida football team has worn a home uniform of blue jerseys (usually a variation of royal blue) with white pants for most of the program's history. The most notable exception was a decade-long period from 1979 until 1989, when at the suggestion of coach Charlie Pell, the Gators switched to orange home jerseys.[145] For road games, Florida wears white jerseys with blue, orange, or white pants, depending on the colors of the opponent or the choice of the players that week.

Steve Spurrier restored the home blue jerseys when he became the Gators' head ball coach in 1990.[146] From 1990 until 2014, Florida's primary home uniforms were blue jerseys with white pants, with blue pants an option for high-profile games, especially at night. Former coach Jim McElwain usually allowed his senior players to decide which uniform combination the team wore for each game. Since this practice began during the 2015 season, the Gators have worn many different combinations of blue or orange jerseys along with blue, orange, or white pants.[147][148]

Florida has occasionally worn alternative uniforms, which are usually similar to current or former uniforms and used an orange and blue color scheme. One exception were the "swamp green" uniforms used at a home game against Texas A&M in October 2017. These used a dark green theme for the entire uniform from shoes to helmet that was inspired by the appearance of actual alligators. The uniform marked the 25th anniversary of former coach Steve Spurrier introducing the Swamp nickname for Florida Field.[149]

Helmets

Florida has had a number of helmet designs, especially early in the program's history. Since the end of the leather helmet era, base colors have alternated between orange, white, and (occasionally) blue, and logos have included the “Gators” script font, an interlocking "UF", a simple "F", and the player number.[150]

From 1979 until 2006, Florida wore orange helmets with a script "Gators" logo in all contests. To commemorate the 100th year of the football program in 2006, the Gators played one game wearing throwback uniforms modeled after their mid-1960s uniforms which included white helmets with a simple "F" logo.[151] In 2009 the Gators participated in Nike's Pro Combat uniform campaign, wearing specially-designed blue uniforms and white helmets with a slant-F logo.[152] These uniforms were worn for the last regular-season game against Florida State, and the white helmets were worn again the following week against Alabama in the SEC Championship Game with white jerseys and pants.[153] Florida introduced a different white alternative helmet in 2015 which featured the script "Gators" logo on one side and the slant-F logo on the other, and in 2018 replaced the slant-F with script "Gators" on both sides. In 2017, the Gators wore "swamp green" helmets for one game. These dark green helmets featured a color-altered Gator head logo on one side and the player's number in orange on the other.

Team logos

  • Gator helmet logo during the mid-1960s

  • Primary helmet logo since 1979

  • Alternate Florida Athletics logo since the early 2000s

Futuros oponentes

Annual SEC East opponents

Florida has played each of the other members of the SEC Eastern Division every year since the SEC expanded to an eight-game league schedule in 1992. Florida's annual conference opponents are Kentucky, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Georgia, Missouri, and South Carolina, usually scheduled in that order. Most of the Gators' SEC East opponents are played on a home-and-home basis, with Tennessee and Vanderbilt visiting Gainesville in odd numbered years and Kentucky, South Carolina, and Missouri visiting in even numbered years. The Florida/Georgia game is played annually in Jacksonville.

SEC West opponents

In addition to six games against eastern division opponents, Florida plays two games against western division opponents. Florida's permanent non-division opponent is Louisiana State (LSU), whom the Gators play annually. The other six SEC Western Division teams rotate on a six-year cycle, with the Florida playing every western division team once every six years (twice every 12 years) with alternating home and away games.[154]

The winners of the east and west divisions meet in the SEC Championship Game, potentially creating a rematch of a regular season contest. Florida has played in 12 SEC Championship Games and have been involved in two rematches - in 1999, when they lost to Alabama in the regular season and lost again in the SEC championship, and in 2000, when they beat Auburn during the regular season and defeated them again to win the conference title.

Non-conference opponents

Florida has played a continuous series against in-state rival Florida State (FSU) since 1958. While the eight game SEC slate plus the annual matchup with FSU are set years in advance, the schedule allows for two or three additional non-conference games against various opponents that are usually played in Gainesville for revenue purposes. In recent years, Florida has been also invited to participate in several season opening non-conference neutral-site games which do not count against the NCAA cap on regular season games.

Announced opponents and dates are as of April 26, 2020.[155]
