And am a happy camper. If you had told me the Gators would have 28 yards of offense in the first half I would have figured we were losing bad. However that is exactly what we had, maybe it was 29 yards, but lead 21 - 6. This is a different type team than Gator fans are used to seeing, but we are loving it. Strongest defense I remember us having. I am in Jacksonville and am a very happy camper.
Helluva win. This Gator team is as physical, aggressive and athletic as any we have had in Gainesville even if the offense does struggle at times. SC may have fumbled the ball three times but UF had a lot to do with that. I like our chances with Georgia because the Dawgs just don't seem to play with that same physical nastiness that the Gators bring. I think UF has taken on the personna of their coach and it works.
44 points on 193 yds of offense... how'd you guys do that? Great win for you guys Bill, makes the drive worth it!
8) Florida is winning the same way that we are. When you hit someone hard enough...they don't want to get up anymore...
Terry, Turnovers is the answer. On the first play from scrimmage we sacked the S. Carolina QB and he fumbled, we recovered on the two yard line. On a kickoff another fumble and we got the ball on the one. On a punt and fumble recovery we got the ball deep in their territory also. We scored on all three turnovers. We finally moved the ball well enough in the third quarter to score on our own. The fans have warmed up to Muschamp and this defense is doing great. The Swamp was on fire last night. I think we have a keeper for a coach. But I have thought that all along, now most fans are behind him.
Over 40 pts. and less than 200 yds. offense. A QB with 4 TDs and less than 100 yds. passing. The talking heads on ESPN couldn't find that happening before in NCAA history. Incredible game by the Gator defense. Better get your tickets for Atlanta early.
I hope you are right about Atlanta gipper. But for the moment I will settle for beating Georgia. By the way, we had 14 points and no first downs. About all our offense was in the 3rd quarter and at the same time we stopped S. Carolina with no first downs in that quarter. A different kind of Gator football but I am liking it.
Bill, Dave Your Gators are impressive and fun to watch and have surprised the most optimistic of Gator fans out there. I don't give Georgia a chance to beat you this season....
Oh, I always give Georgia a chance. They are also loaded with talent. But Richt doesn't seem able to get over the hump to challenge for the big one. Hey though, the year Ohio State upset you guys to win the NC, Georgia was higher rated but we beat them for their only loss of the season. Otherwise you would have likely been playing Georgia.
Bill I had just recently recovered from that dastardly loss and here you have to bring it up again... :? I hear you though on Georgia they do have talent...
I like the Gators chances in a close hard fought game. UF has to play tight pass defense in the first half and not let the Dawgs slip too far ahead if at all in the first stanza. Any score at half that has UF within 7 points favors UF decidely in the second half. Going out on a limb already: 1st half UGA 13 UF 10 2nd half UF 21 UGA 7 31 - 20 UF wins
