The Florida Gators are on a tear. Literally.The team has now endured five ACL tears during preseason workouts.Linebacker Brendan Beal is the latest guy to lose a ligament. Though a true freshman, Beal was penciled in as the No. 2 middle linebacker. And the fact that the Gators have had five of these things makes us wonder whether coach Urban Meyer has added a “sweep the leg” drill to practice.We’re kidding, we think."We’re following pretty much the same routine,” Meyer said Tuesday. “Last year, we had the high ankle sprains. Two years ago it was the shoulder. It’s frustrating when guys are hurt."It’s especially frustrating when the injuries are season-enders.
