I was hoping we would get an answer about Percy Harvin today on whether or not he’ll play, but it still looks like he’ll be a game-time decision. The SEC Championship game against Alabama is a HUGE game. The winner will likely advance to the BCS National Championship game and the entire nation will be watching. The Gators need to impress the voters.

Not much news about Percy since he hasn’t been practicing, but here’s the latest update I could find from the Florida-Times Union:

Meyer said he hopes to have junior wide receiver Percy Harvin at practice today in the hopes of Harvin playing Saturday in the Southeastern Conference championship game against No. 1 Alabama.

Harvin has not practiced all week as he nurses a sprained right ankle. Meyer said he believes the Gators’ leading receiver is still wearing a protective boot, but has been doing exercises in a pool to help speed the recovery process.

“I won’t put a stopwatch on him or anything,” Meyer said. “If he can play, he’ll play.”

Harvin leads UF with 35 receptions for 595 yards and seven touchdowns. He also is second on the team in rushing, with 538 yards and nine touchdowns.

My guess is still that he suits up and heads on the field for a few plays, likely as a distraction. If the Gators can get up to an early 14-3 lead… you may not see him at all. However, if the Gators are losing… he may feel pressured to step in there and play. Luckily the medical staff can shoot him up with liquids so he won’t feel much pain if he does play, he just needs to avoid injuring it further.
