It is July on the Florida campus, which means by the time you walk from your car to the football building you need a towel and a sweet tea. The word “languid” comes to mind. Coach Urban Meyer’s office is dark, its occupant stealing the last moments of summer on a coach’s calendar.

Manhattan College coach Barry Rohrssen needed a big man to complete his recruiting class this season and he landed a huge one when he hauled in Kevin Laue. The fact that Laue is 6-11, 232 pounds is one thing. The fact he has no left hand is another.
