Good morning, Gainesville.

Caliber Car Wash joined with Veteran Building Solutions to host a charity car wash to support homeless veterans.

Half of the money earned will help give veterans a place to live and the event started Friday at 9 a.m.—it will end on Sunday.

Buchholz wide receiver Justin Williams scored two touchdowns to clinch a playoff win over Mandarin and secure the team's fifth straight region title — he is a 4-star recruit committed to Florida football.

Florida football is no longer pursuing Lane Kiffin and has shortlisted Tulane’s Jon Sumrall and Washington’s Jedd Fisch to lead the program—UF aims to hire a coach before early National Signing Day on Dec.

Florida football will try to end a tough season as the Gators (3-8) host rival Florida State (5-6) today at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium with kickoff at 4:30 p.m. on ESPN2.

Experts say Florida's offense has struggled with injuries while Florida State is expected to use strong passing to control the game.

Lane Kiffin will announce his coaching decision today after meetings with Florida, Ole Miss, and LSU—local reports note that his family recently visited Gainesville, boosting rumors of a move to the Gators.

Kiffin denied any pressure from Ole Miss while betting odds and local ties suggest Florida is a top option.

Florida ended its pursuit of Lane Kiffin due to his erratic behavior & is now focusing on new candidates, with Tulane head coach Jon Sumrall emerging as a potential target.

The Gators interviewed a dozen candidates & remain optimistic ahead of Early National Signing Day on December 3.
