Cornerback Marcus Roberson has been an impact freshman for Florida this season with 22 tackles and an interception. Unfortunately for the Gators, Roberson will miss the remainder of the season after suffering a neck injury against South Carolina this past Saturday. “We’re still evaluating him, but our medical staff has informed me that he will be out,” coach Will Muschamp said Monday. “It’s nothing that’s going to be permanent. He’ll be fine in four to six weeks. He strained his neck there, and they’re just taking precautionary measure, obviously, with something like that. He’ll be fine. He’ll be back for spring, but he will miss the rest of the season.”
Roberson played in all 10 games this season, but it doesn’t sound like he’ll play in Florida’s bowl game either — yes, Florida should be bowl eligible a week from now since the Gators have a game against Furman this Saturday. But at 5-5 it’s been a teeth-gnashing kind of year in Gainesville.
