GAINESVILLE — "Weekends might be when most people try and relax, but that’s not the case for Vernon Macklin in the past three weeks.
He has done some of his best work on Saturdays.
Florida’s redshirt junior center has played the three best games of his career in those games — and has been way more productive than he was during midweek games against Alabama, South Carolina and Auburn. The difference was startling, but it somehow has gone undetected by Macklin or his teammates.
“I haven’t even really noticed that,” Macklin said. “I don’t know [why]. The guards are getting me the ball, and I’m going to keep on trying to finish for those guys and execute the plays coach runs for us.”
