By: Nick Marcinko -- September 21, 2024 Redshirt freshman wide receiver Aidan Mizell stepped up for Florida in week four with star receiver Eugene Wilson sidelined due to an injury. The 6’1.5, 186-pound receiver hauled in a team high five receptions for 36 yards in the Gators’ 45-28 victory over Mississippi State. While that stat line isn’t jaw-dropping, Mizell had an incredible 65-yard touchdown called back after a horrific ‘blindside block’ penalty on running back Montrell Johnson.

"Horrific blindside block penalty?" Maybe he meant to write horrific CALL of a blind side block. We all saw that block and even though I was distracted, and simply believed the game broadcasters. I later reviewed that play and could NOT see any way that call should have ever been made in the first place. That was a totally legit block. You be the judge.
Agree. They were running at and looking at eachother. Can’t call it blind side when it’s right in front of you!
Terrible call. The refs seemed to start out legit. Then later, when it started looking like we could win the game, the bad refs showed up. Several bad calls in the 2nd half seemed one-sided. But interesting question here on DJ’s fumble into the end zone: replay showed he lost the ball around the 1 yard marker and then we recovered it in the end zone — isn’t it illegal to fumble forward into the end zone? I know they established a rule like that when Kenny Stabler intentionally did that to beat the Dolphins in an AFC Championship game — does that also apply in college ball?
Just think if we have Wilson, mizell, and badger with DJ throwing bombs. If we only had some offensive line play. A good coach could do something with that.
Is it me, or would anyone else like to see BOTH Wilson and Mizell play receiver on the field at the same time? Wouldn't that be interesting to see.
After so many writers questioned why they put in a walk on WR in during the critical downs with TAMU, BN finally learned.
Has been injured though he did make his first appearance this year (1 snap) as he wasn’t on the injury report.
not a rumor- just made up speculation. When you think about it -makes no sense. Wilson is staying in college for 3 years and then NFL. He isn’t playing beyond next year so a redshirt does zero for him. the fact that he had meniscus repair surgery on his knee last week is why he is out.
