Millen, who has been a key player for the Gators this season, sustained the injury during a routine drill, causing concern among fans and teammates alike. The Gators have been relying heavily on Millen’s strong performances to maintain their momentum in the season, and his absence is expected to have a significant impact on the team’s offensive strategy.
Coach Billy Napier expressed his disappointment regarding Millen’s injury but remained optimistic about the team’s ability to adapt. “Clay’s health is our top priority right now,” said Thompson. “We’re confident in the depth of our roster and believe the other quarterbacks will step up during this period. We’ll be working hard to ensure that our offense remains effective and competitive.”
