Urban Meyer broke his silence this week on his required SEC Teleconference to announce that Chris Rainey will be in pads against Georgia.
"Chris Rainey is eligible to participate in the Georgia game, but I’m not saying he will," Meyer said. "That hasn’t been determined."
I'd bet my non-existent mortgage that Rainey is playing. Look at the backs and receivers who Florida might be missing, and consider if UF could use someone fresh off a five game suspension. From the Palm Beach Post;
– WR Andre Debose sprained his right ankle against Mississippi State and the diagnosis is discouraging.
"He will not practice this week," Meyer said. "We’re doing everything we can to get him back next week. It was a rather severe ankle sprain, but he’s recovering well."
– RBs Jeff Demps (sprained left foot), Emmanuel Moody (quad strain or bruised thigh) and Mike Gillislee (bruised right foot) had minimal participation in Tuesday’s practice.
That's your best return man and all three of your running backs who have some sort of injury. Granted, the Gators could use Mack Brown, but he is not in the Urban Meyer Trust Tree. Rainey shouldn't be in the Trust Tree either, but Meyer seems to think it is better to drop your ethics than play a freshman.
