Before the season

The team was captained by veteran transfer William Gibbs. It was the first season for a talented Gainesville product, Dummy Taylor.[3] The backfield also included Charlie Bartleson Jim Vidal, and William A. Shands, future state senator and namesake of Shands Hospital.[3]

One story of Florida becoming the "Florida Gators" originates in 1908. Gainesville shop owner ordered orange and blue pennants with a gator emblem from the Michie Company, drawing inspiration from the University of Virginia.[3]
