When the Florida Agricultural College in Lake City became the
University of Florida and moved south to Gainesville in 1906, it
had a very fledgling football team, although worthy opponents were
difficult to find. Little by little, as the school increased in
size and reputation, its football team attracted higher-performing
athletes and sterner opponents until it was willing to play any
team in the country. In 1966, the team had its first Heisman Trophy
winner, but it was not until 30 years later that UF won its first
national championship. Since then UF has chalked up two more
Heisman Trophy winners and two more national championships. With a
selection of fine historic images from his bestselling book,
Historic Photos of University of Florida Football, Kevin McCarthy
provides a valuable and revealing historical retrospective on the
growth and development of University of Florida football.
Remembering University of Florida Football chronicles the rise of
one of the premier football programs in the country through over
one hundred black-and-white photographs, each of them captioned and
with introductions. The book includes photos of the university and
the surrounding community to which the “Fightin’ Gators” have
become so much an integral part.
