Notebook: Offensive line getting healthy

<p>Redshirt junior offensive lineman James Wilson, who saw limited action Saturday after sustaining a knee injury the first week, is expected to fully participate in practice by Wednesday.</p><p>"He's had some cartilage issues in the past and it keeps swelling up on him," Meyer said.</p><p>Redshirt freshman Jon Halapio has started two games this season and played in place of Wilson against USF.</p><p>On a positive note for the 10th-ranked Gators (2-0), sophomore tackle Xavier Nixon could return to his left tackle spot against the Volunteers (1-1). Nixon missed the opener with a knee injury and played blocking tight end against the Bulls.</p><p>"We were beat to mess during training camp with our offensive line, but now you're starting to see a full rotation of linemen, including when you have to put a tight end in there, like Xavier Nixon or (Marcus) Gilbert or one of those big cats," Meyer said.</p><p><b>Meyer praises Robinson</b></p><p>Michigan quarterback Denard Robinson's 502 total yards of offense (244 passing, 258 rushing) caught Meyer's eye Saturday. The former Deerfield Beach athlete was heavily recruited as a receiver and quarterback by Florida, and Meyer could only smile when asked about Robinson on Monday.</p><p> </p><p>"He's the best player in the country right now," he said.</p><p><b>Pouncey's big gift</b></p><p>With his first NFL check from the Pittsburgh Steelers, Mike Pouncey's twin brother, Maurkice, bought him a 2010 Cadillac Escalade.</p><p>Mike then stressed his brother used his own money to purchase it.</p><p>"He bought it, now," Mike said.</p><p><b>Johnson jabs UT</b></p><p>Senior guard Carl Johnson was asked Monday if he was upset at not facing former Tennessee coach Lane Kiffin, who is now the head coach at Southern Cal.</p><p>Johnson paused and then formulated his answer into a witty question.</p><p>"What would you prefer — to lose to Florida or can't go to a bowl game for two years?" Johnson said. "I think we already defeated him."</p><p>Johnson then took a shot a the Vols' hygiene that was called into question after an outbreak of staph infections last week. Johnson was surprised to hear of a team not taking cleanliness seriously.</p><p>"Grown men not bathing ..." he said.</p><p><b>Champions</b></p><p>Offense — Emmanuel Moody, Maurice Hurt, Trey Burton, Marcus Gilbert</p><p>Co-Offensive Players of the Game — Jeff Demps and Mike Pouncey</p><p>Defense — Janoris Jenkins, Justin Trattou, A.J.
