Florida coach Urban Meyer is asking fans to show up early for its home game against The Citadel to honor the team's seniors on Senior Day.

Whether fans will have reason to stick around past halftime remains to be seen.

The No. 3 Gators are expected to overwhelm The Citadel, a small military college, when the two teams meet Saturday at Florida Field.

The final home game of the season will give fans an opportunity to salute Florida's 13 seniors. An emotional farewell is expected for tight end Cornelius Ingram, who was lost for the season last August with a torn ACL.

"These are seniors that deserve the recognition for their performance and for the way they've represented this great school," Meyer said. "It's going to be very emotional for our staff, very emotional for our players."

With the grind of the SEC schedule behind them, Meyer is confident his team won't have a letdown. The Citadel (5-6) is led by receiver Andre Roberts, a receiver who has caught 17 touchdown passes and returned three punts for touchdowns.

"They're always in the right place at the right time," Meyer said. "If we're not where we're supposed to be, will they block a punt? Yeah. We have a really good little challenge ahead of us."
