GAINESVILLE -- Florida's two-headed attack at quarterback is about to sprout a new noggin.
UF coach Urban Meyer said tight end Jordan Reed -- who carried three times for 19 yards against Georgia -- would see more time at the position and would do more than run.``Yes, he can throw,'' Meyer said. ``We just met and I'm giving you something maybe I shouldn't give you. It's in, it's done, and he will throw the ball next week, how's that? So make sure [Vanderbilt] defends it.''
Reed was expected to be the Gators' wildcat quarterback before a preseason injury handed the job to Trey Burton.
• Freshman safety Jonathan Dowling was kicked off the team for an unspecified violation of team rules, Meyer said. When asked if the move was permanent, Meyer said, ``done.''
• UF punter/kicker Chas Henry was named Southeastern Conference Co-Special Teams Player of the Week and he and Burton were tagged as part of the Tri-Freshman of the Week for their roles in the Gators' win against Georgia.
