    Looks like we are not going to get a lot of yards with our running backs. If we are going to move the ball, it will have to be done with Shea's arms and legs.

    TD drive just as Bob predicted, Patterson settled in and made some great throws

    Why do I think kicking FG'S isn't a good thing.

    Not sure if there is going be a lot of points in this game so my guess is that Mullen decided if he has a chance to grab a few points, he will take it.

    Felipe has missed some wide open receivers.

    Gators lead at halftime 13-10, I think Bob is right it's likely to be a low scoring game. Both offenses are sputtering a little bit, missing some opportunities. Mullen said they should be up by a couple of scores, maybe so but the UM defense has gotten after Franks pretty good even without all those players.

    We are in a world of hurt. 20-10 Gators and their defense has stuffed our 'O'.

    Any speculation that the McCaffrey kid will get a shot this Spring

    Yes. More athletic than Shea. Faster and more elusive runner. Not as accurate as a passer as Shea but I think there will a real competition for the QB position next year.

    Dave's Michigan demons have been exorcised. Mullens first season is excellent and Gators look like they should be a SEC factor going forward , still have to deal with Smart / UGA and the recruiting machine in Athens .

    Congrats to Dave and Bill. Gators ate us alive. Second time Mullen has coached against M in a bowl game and he won both in blow-outs.

    Congratulations to Florida for that win over Michigan today. Michigan fans have to be troubled by their program at this juncture?

    Don, if the M fan forums are an indication of fan sentiment, the fans are way beyond troubled. It is going to be a long offseason for Harbaugh.

    Thanks guys.... it’s a relief for sure to show my people back in Michigan that yes.... the Gators can sometimes be pretty good. Great performance today....and I know Michigan is better with all players playing but that kind of evens us up with that opener last season.
