GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Florida receiver Latroy Pittman was carted off the field in the final minute of a 30-27 loss to LSU after being immobilized on a backboard following a hit that left him motionless on the field for several minutes. The Gators expect the junior receiver to be OK, though. Pittman moved his arms while being carted off and gave a thumbs up sign to fans on the way out of Ben Hill Griffin Stadium.

"We think Latroy Pittman's going to be fine," Muschamp said. "I think more than anything precautionary to make sure that he's OK."

The Gators lost the game moments after Pittman's injury, leaving players hoping he is alright.

"I've never really been in a situation like that. It's tough," quarterback Jeff Driskel said. "It's not in our hands right now. But I know that he's going to get all the proper care and all the proper treatment on what happened. Latroy's a fighter, so it's tough, unfortunate part of football."

Florida was also without Vernon Hargreaves III for the second half after he took a knee to the helmet in the second quarter. Hargreaves went to the locker room and returned in the second half in street clothes. Muschamp did not touch on his injury after the game but said Hargreaves should be fine.

Running back Matt Jones also watched the second half from the sideline in street clothes after an ankle injury he tried to play on took him out of the game.

Linebacker Daniel McMillian missed his second straight game with a head injury. He was on the sidelines in street clothes.
