Welcome back Percy Harvin! In the Gators 26-3 victory over Miami on Saturday, Percy hit the field and scored a touchdown in the fourth quarter that sparked momentum for his team. Percy played sparingly throughout the game. In fact, at times I thought he had aggravated his injury because Meyer would sit him for a series or two. In hindsight though that was probably the smart thing to do.
Percy Harvin ended the game with 5 carries for 27 yards (1 score) and 1 reception for 12 yards. Not the numbers we’re used to seeing, but considering he was limited, I’ll take it. His touchdown came on a carry from 2 yards out. Percy lineup up as a WR and then went in motion and took a handoff from Tebow after the snap. He took it outside and dove for the endzone. It was great seeing him back on the field.
I’m sure we’ll get an update on his injury status in a few days from Coach Meyer.
The Gators have a bye week coming up, so Percy will have a full 2 weeks to rest up and condition himself for SEC play.
