Editorial We’re all scared about the future f you’re anything like us, your heart probably skipped a beat when you received an email last week informing you that it’s already time to start thinking about registering for Spring classes. And when we say that your heart skipped a beat, we don’t mean it did so in the cute and jovial “school girl in Ilove” sort of way. We mean you probably felt like your heart was going to leap out of your chest from beating so hard because you have yet another thing to stress about. We are hardly into Fall semester and already thinking about what is to come in Spring. If you got accepted into UF, chances are you’re a pretty high achieving, hyper-involved busy body. It’s okay. We all are. Chances are if you already have these personal- ity traits, you’re also probably stressed beyond belief at the idea of failing and not achieving the goals you’ve set for your future self. They typically go hand in hand. For most of us, that makes the future a pretty terrifying thing to think about. It wouldn’t seem like something as simple as registering for classes would kick-start this much anxiety, but for a lot of stu- dents it does. When thinking ahead to next semester, it’s easy for your mind to keep on going. First, it’s Spring semester. Next it’s studying for and taking entrance exams for graduate school. Then, it’s getting accepted into graduate school, then passing your classes there, then succeeding in your career field, then finding Column someone to spend your life with. Before you know it, your mind has gone thirty-plus years into the future and you’re engulfed by the pressure to succeed — just another weight on your shoulders. It can feel like every choice you make, no matter how minor Mediocrity is now part of Gator football culture it may be, has the power to alter the course of your life entirely. he Florida Gators have accepted medioc- anyway—­­ teams to which it would’ve been em- Every club you join, every executive board you sit on and every rity.

NOTEBOOK Gators defense still looking to force team's first fumble By Ian Cohen Sports Writer

The players were still in their meeting room. The coach had left, but Jordan Sherit knew this issue needed to be addressed. He felt responsible: Florida has caused five turn- overs this season, tied for 104th in the na- tion. “We gotta find a way to change the game,” Sherit said after practice on Tuesday. The redshirt senior was talking about his unit — the defensive line group — the ones who take pride in stopping the run and pres- suring the quarterback but who have yet to recover a fumble this season. The Gators are one of four FBS teams in the nation who haven’t. The other three teams are Buffalo, Appalachian State and Mississippi. “That’s all effort,” Sherit said. “Nothing but effort.” Heading into its matchup against Texas A&M (4-2, 2-1 SEC) this weekend, UF (3-2, 3-1 SEC) has placed an emphasis on causing turnovers, specifically fumbles. The Aggies lead the SEC with eight fumble recoveries. Sherit said the team does turnover drills each practice, ripping the ball out of oppo- nent’s hands in hopes of winning the turn- over margin more frequently than they have this season. Florida is tied for 10th in the SEC with a minus-two turnover margin. “Just because we ain’t generated turn- overs doesn’t mean we’re not working on it,” safety Chauncey Gardner said. “You have to keep working.” Sherit said Florida has placed an empha- Alan Alvarez / Alligator Staff sis on causing turnovers in practice lately, more so than usual. He’s hoping it pays off UF is one of four FBS teams that has yet to recover a fumble. Defensive end Jordan Sherit said the team is emphasizing on Saturday. takeaways leading up to Saturday's game vs. Texas A&M. "We have high expectations," Sherit said.
