    Hopper is an outstanding linebacker, who we obviously sorely missed these last two years. With him out for the game Saturday that makes two starting linebackers out. Hopper was the team leader in tackles, and the quarterback of the defense. We will need the offense to pull the weight big-time in this game this definitely is in our favor.

    Wish him well, and a complete recovery.

    Now... Go Gators!

    Beat Missouri.

    Sorry Hopper is injured and hopes he recovers 100 %.
    I’m not sorry we don’t have to play against him this Saturday.

    Our defense could use even an injured Hopper right now.

    Looks like just an ankle. He’ll be fine. Not sorry either. We see what having a leader like Hopper out with James does to a defense.

    I wish Hopper had remained a Gator. In any case, I hope he recovers fully but I'm relieved we won't see him tomorrow.

    So, we can run the ball enough to win the TOP and score TDs. That can work against their offense and our defense. Otherwise...

    Rope-a-dope. He'll play. Same category as J. Daniels concussion.

    How many key players have been out vs. the Gators this year? How did those games work out?

    I can't get past his name - Hopper. Reminds me of those Dish Network commercials with the Hoppa.
