Without a doubt a great game. I agree that our offensive line looked lethargic at best, but as you said credit also has to be given to the miami defense. They played well.
I'm very impressed thusfar at how our defense has filled in the gaps this year. They really looked aggressive and energetic up front and in the secondary. That was the cog that hindered our title hopes last year. I really believe that with our D playing as well as they are we have a serious shot at title contention.
I didn't think florida's play calling in the first half was very good at all. While tebow was frequently in the hurried state, they didn't adjust in the play calling like i would have liked to see. I agree that the speed wasn't utilized with peripheral routes/screens.
I did enjoy watching college gameday as well. There was a sign in the backround that said "Miami Thugs!" The "U" was obviously placed strategically in there.
Well, well, well my young Trauma. What happened to Tebow doing what he wanted?
Confounded by a defense loaded with freshman and sophs - eh?
Gator fans can and should gloat. Breaking our streak dating back to when I was 5 years old (and Bolt probably wasn't even born) - 1985.
You guys looked much improved on defense, but I saw some holes with your O that not many teams proved last year.
It's not like we have a super experienced D...
Both D-ends were frosh and a frosh was the 3rd D-tackle. Spence (true frosh) will be starting by the 4th game at MLB - once our coaches switch Glenn Cook over. Same for frosh DB Brandon Harris.
We were down 9 to 3 with 12 mins. left against a national title contender on the road with a team with half of the 2 deep being freshman and sophomores.
And we shot ourselves in the foot with the retarded QB rotation of Marve and Jacory Harris. Arrrg! That pissed me off.
Plus seemed like we didn't open the play book - I think Pat Nix was coaching scared. Marve didn't appear rattled in the least.
We are the future. Make no mistake. When Tebow and Harvin leave, we'll have Marve, Harris, Sean Spence, Brandon Harris, Marcus Forston, Ramon Buchanon, Arthur Brown, Bryce Brown, etc.
Desmond Howard called it right - 2010 BCS championship game.
BTW - classy classy late field goal, Oscar Meyer. I thought we left that Gator Flop horsesh*t in the 70's. Guess not.
