"Florida coach Will Muschamp didn’t need to consult motivational speaker Tony Robbins last summer to figure out the message he wanted to convey to his players.The Gators had just come off a 7-6 season and only avoided the program’s first losing season in more than 30 years by beating Ohio State in the Taxslayer.com Gator Bowl. Muschamp had a locker room full of irritated players, so his message was pretty simple: Play angry."

"Quarterback Kyle Allen (Scottsdale, Ariz./Desert Mountain) knew he wanted to work quickly through the recruiting process. ESPN’s No. 128 overall player and No. 5 pocket passer began doing his homework on various schools throughout the country very early, and when it came time to narrow things to a final destination, he didn’t take long at all.On Tuesday, Allen announced his final five schools: Notre Dame, Ohio State, Oklahoma State, Texas A&M and UCLA. Less than a week later, the 6-foot-3, 197-pound quarterback took to Twitter to announce he was ready to put an end to the process."
