Brain Cancer Patient Gets Florida Game Ball After Outback Bowl Win
Published January 3rd, 2011
The Florida Gators had a lot more motivation in the Outback Bowl than people think. Besides winning to send Urban Meyer out on top after six great years, the players rallying cry was high school football player and brain cancer patient Ian Lockwood. Urban Meyer said Lockwood, a senior at Navarre High, was taken away from football this year due to another brain surgery, but made it his team's goal to get a game ball for Ian.
