5’8 sophomore RB Jeff Demps was seen around Gainesville, FL wearing a neck brace. Demps injured his neck during Saturday’s 29-19 win over Mississippi State. Demps is one of the stronger offensive players on the not so productive Florida offense this season as he is second on the team with 457 rushing yards with 5 TDs.

The Matador is even at 3-3 for his weekly picks. I know some of you were worried about last week’s game and it took a last second 50 yard TD pass to cover the spread, but that’s what makes gambling exciting. This week’s lock will prove to be another exciting match-up as I turn to the Big 10. The game is Penn State v. Michigan. The line is PSU -4.5. Now I know the Big House hasn’t been favorable...
