Embattled Florida Coach Todd Golden Expects Raucous Crowds On The Road, Beginning At Florida State

No. 20 Florida and under-investigation-coach Todd Golden are about to get a feel for what to expect on the road this season.

It could be way more hostile than usual when the Gators 3-0 play at rival Florida State 3-0 on Friday night.

"Honestly, to me, it's no different than any other road game," Golden said Thursday. "We anticipate it being a raucous environment, a crowd that is going to come after us and we're going to do everything we can to be prepared to go compete to the best of our abilities."

The crowd might really come after Golden, who has acknowledged an ongoing school inquiry into sexual harassment and stalking allegations. Golden said he is considering "defamation claims."

Golden declined to discuss the case again Thursday and sidestepped another chance to deny the allegations.
