Mullen apologizes, awaits word on COVID-19 tests, LSU game

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Florida coach Dan Mullen apologized Wednesday “if I offended people or anybody out there” with his comments about wanting to pack Florida Field with 90,000 fans during the coronavirus pandemic.

Mullen also said two assistant coaches tested positive for COVID-19 and added that he expects the Southeastern Conference to make a decision on whether to postpone Saturday’s game against defending national champion LSU by the end of the day.

The 10th-ranked Gators shut down team activities Tuesday after learning they had 19 positives and about a dozen more quarantined because of contact tracing results.

Florida moved to everyday testing after getting a spike in positives from Sunday’s test results. The Gators expect to know more after getting results from Wednesday morning tests.
