Caleb Sturgis - K - Gators

Florida K Caleb Sturgis was not invited to the Senior Bowl.

Only one kicker has been announced for the postseason even, Florida State's Dustin Hopkins, so a second name should surface soon. It may end up being Nebraska's Brett Maher, but that is just a guess.

Florida kicker Caleb Sturgis did not travel with the team due to a back injury. Sturgis could miss 6-8 weeks.

Punter Chas Henry will handle the placekicking duties for the Gators this weekend. But it is probably best to find a more proven option.

Caleb Sturgis - K - Gators

Florida kicker Caleb Sturgis is likely to miss today's game after a weight lifting injury.  Sturgis suffered a herniated disc and a stress fracture. 

Surprising this story wasn't revealed by the Gators earlier, as it happened early this week.  Never-the-less, if you have Sturgis, you will want to grab a replacement for today if you can.

Florida coach Urban Meyer says he is happy with his kicking situation but did not say who would kick extra points and field goals this week against Florida International.

Caleb Sturgis has held down the job since week three, but after some recent misses, Jonathan Phillips is back in the mix.  Avoid Florida kickers.

Florida coach Urban Meyer has still not settled on a starting kicker between Jonathan Phillips and Caleb Sturgis.

Sturgis handled the starting assignment perfectly last week against Tennessee, banging home all three field goals and both extra point attempts.  We assume Sturgis will get the first crack at the job against Kentucky on Saturday.

It was Caleb Sturgis, and not Jonathan Phillips, who handled the kicking duties for the Gators on Saturday.  "It's week to week," coach Urban Meyer said about the kicking battle.  "I'm very proud of Caleb, he's talented.''

Obviously kicking battles should be avoided.
