    I wonder if Durkin will coach Michigan through the bowl? Probably from a professional standpoint it's better if he gets rocking on the new job, building staff and recruiting. He's got a lot of work to do at Maryland.

    But he certainly knows the Gator personnel better than just about anybody, certainly better than anybody on the UM staff so he could be a big help to UM.

    I won't be surprised at all if this game is 6-3.

    This should be an interesting game. Florida probably has the best defense, but neither team seems to be great on offense, especially the running game.

    Durkin will not be on the sidelines. Mattison will serve as DC for this game.

    It is a good match up for both team since neither offense will have a great deal of sucess against the other teams's defense. So my guess is that it will be a low scoring, tight ball game.

    Suspect the Fiesta Bowl will have significantly higher ratings.
