We didn't get close enough to your WR's to show wheter or not we can tackle...but we did a good job on your RB!
I'll guarantee that the Gators can play a little defense. They can tackle too.....hard. Keep an eye on Reggie Nelson for Fla next time they are on TV. Not one player on those two teams last night hits even close to the intensity as Nelson or Brandon Siler for that matter.
Most every BCS news account or written article I have seen states that Florida will be the favorite in each of it's last five games....including the SEC CG. Says a lot about playing Auburn in Auburn on a Sat. night with a little sh*t replay official named Al Ford and a rabid home crowd and the Tiggers couldn't score an offensive TD. In other words the Tiggers are not considered to be a better team than the Gators by many.
September 2 Louisiana-Lafayette W 45-3 1-0 (0-0) September 9 Arizona W 45-3 2-0 (0-0) September 16 at No. 3 Auburn L 7-3 2-1 (0-1) CBS September 23 Tulane W 49-7 3-1 (0-1) September 30 Mississippi State W 48-17 4-1 (1-1) October 7 at No. 5 Florida L 23-10 4-2 (1-2) CBS October 14 Kentucky W 49-0 5-2 (2-2) October 21 Fresno State W 38-6 6-2 (2-2) How would we know if the LSU defense is any good after playing that schedule?
hmmmmm.....you think perhaps there is a connection there? :wink: In all seriousness, I think that is precisely what makes this Buckeye offense so difficult to defend. Choose your poison....EVERY one of our skill players can beat you. Double Ginn, Gonzo eats you alive. Take the safeties away from the line of scrimmage, the running game will kill you....bring pressure, Smith escapes and either finds someting downfield or beats you with his legs. The Stripeheads may be able to defend the run without commiting a safety to the line of scrimmage, but I just don't see them being able to defend the entire field successfully for 60 minutes....and they are going to have to in order to win. Their best bet is to keep the ball away from us and they are quite capable of doing that if and only if Manningham is back and Hart is healthy, imo.
