Loucheiz Purifoy's blocked punt Saturday was one of the highlights in Florida's loss at Miami.
Anytime the Gators and Hurricanes meet up there is always a large national and state media presence.
No different Saturday.
Miami's 21-16 was a tough one to swallow for the Gators considering all their opportunities to seize control.
Instead, the Gators dropped to 1-1 and now have two weeks to prepare for the SEC opener against Tennessee on Sept. 21 at The Swamp.
