"Everybody thinks they run Florida," said tight end Dante Lang. "It’s big for us. We can actually show that we run Florida.”
“There’s going to be a lot of trash talking," said tight end Kemore Gamble. "We might get heated up in the pregame."
The trash talking on social media between the fans has been intense, however, both teams are doing their fair share of talking.
Florida has a few South Florida natives on their roster and they are hearing quite a few things from their former high school teammates.
"They call mostly every day. Mostly every day," Gamble told reporters on Tuesday. "I’m guessing they’re scared of us."
Mark Pope, Dee Wiggins and DJ Scaife all played with Gamble at Miami Southridge. However, he has faced several others on the Hurricanes roster during his high school career as well.
"I think Gilbert (Frierson) called me yesterday saying, ‘12 days,’" Gamble said. "Every day he calls me to tell me that, that the game is getting closer."
