Gators player says he doesn't see UM 'as a challenge.' Here's UM's response
Additional article content not readily reproduced here can be seen at URL at the top of the story.A six-pack of Hurricanes notes on a Thursday:
▪ The UM-UF opener is more than four months away, but the Gator trash talking has begun.
Gators redshirt freshman defensive lineman Andrew Chatfield on Tuesday was asked about the challenge of facing the Hurricanes, especially with the talent retuning in Miami's front seven.
"Well, I don't really see them as a challenge," Chatfield said, via The Tampa Bay Times. "I just see them as another team really, because I feel like my whole team, we face SEC teams, big-boy teams. They faced one SEC team, and they got smashed by LSU last time I checked."That was a reference to UM's season-opening 33-17 loss to the Tigers in Arlington, Texas, last year, a game which Miami trailed by 30 after three quarters.
LSU then lost to the Gators by eight points later in the season.
"But it's whatever though," Chatfield said. "It's just another game."
So what do UM players think about Chatfield's comments?
UM defensive tackle Nesta Silvera, who started three years alongside Chatfield at Plantation American Heritage, had a succinct response:
"Aug. 24," Silvera said. "That's just it. That's all I have to say on that."
Do Chatfield and Silvera have a close relationship? "Yes," Silvera said. "That's my boy. The football side is the football side. We separated it."
So is it Chatfield's character to stir the pot like he did with his comments this week? "I mean, Aug. 24," Silvera repeated.
Asked if they have spoken since Chatfield made those comments, Silvera said: "Possibly."
UM redshirt freshman Greg Rousseau took Chatfield's comments in stride.
"I'm not speaking on it,' he said.
