College footballs Florida Gators most elusive player, Jeff Demps, is set to play against #1 ranked Alabama this Saturday. Reports state Demps is no longer wearing a protective boot. The fastest player in college, Jeff Demps, bruised his left foot (reports state it’s an ankle sprain) Sept 18 vs Tennessee and then re-injured it last Saturday against Kentucky. Medical examination and tests show there are no ligament damage or broken bones. Florida Coach, Urban Meyer, is taking precaution because Demps is a non-traditional football running back, rather a record breaking Track & Field all-star. Demps could push himself this year into a new breed of running backs at the collegiate and professional.

Alabamas junior running back Mark Ingram had arthroscopic surgery on his left knee on Tuesday. Ingram was injured in Monday’s practice. Alabama’s coach, Nick Saban, said Ingram will be evaluated on a weekly basis. Ingram rushed for 1,658 yards and scored 20 touchdowns.
