The 1928 Florida Gators football team represented the University of Florida in the sport of American football during the 1928 college football season. The season was future Hall-of-Famer Charles W. "Charlie" Bachman's first of five as the head coach of the Florida Gators football team. The Gators finished 8–1 overall,〔''(2015 Florida Gators Football Media Guide )'', University Athletic Association, Gainesville, Florida, pp. 108 & 115 (2015). Retrieved August 15, 2015.〕 and 6–1 in the Southern Conference (SoCon), placing third of twenty-three teams in the conference, behind the national champion Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (7–0 SoCon) and the Tennessee Volunteers (6–0–1 SoCon).〔''2009 Southern Conference Football Media Guide'', (Year-by-Year Standings ), Southern Conference, Spartanburg, South Carolina, p. 74 (2009). Retrieved August 30, 2010.〕 The Gators led the nation in scoring with 336 points, and the 1928 Gators were remembered by many sports commentators as the best Florida football team until at least the 1960s. The large scores were mostly due to its "Phantom Four" backfield which included quarterback Clyde Crabtree, halfbacks Carl Brumbaugh and Royce Goodbread, and fullback Rainey Cawthon. Other backs who were key contributors include sophomore halfback Lee Roy "Red" Bethea, alternate-captain and halfback Tommy Owens, and fullback Ed Sauls. One account reads "There were twelve backs on the squad. Six of them can do the hundred in 10.1 seconds. Eight of them are fine punters and ten of them are great passers. And all of them are good receivers."〔 〕 At ends were future coach Dutch Stanley, and Florida's first-ever first-team All-American, Dale Van Sickel. Quarterback Crabtree, who was ambidextrous and could throw passes with either hand or punt with either foot, while on the run or stationary, and Van Sickel were both unanimous All-Southern selections. Among the many football highlights of 1928 were the Gators' 26–6 victory over the Georgia Bulldogs, which ended a six-game losing streak versus the Bulldogs, and the controversial loss to Tennessee ending their bid at an undefeated season and possible Rose Bowl berth.〔 ==Schedule== Primary source: ''2015 Florida Gators Football Media Guide''.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「1928 Florida Gators football team」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
