I'll give some analysis when I finish getting the game but:

"With 5:09 left in the third quarter the Gators led the game 27-9, and Ole Miss just received the ball after a kickoff. In the next 5:02 Ole Miss scored 15 points. 2 Major defensive breakdowns, 141 yards, and a poor offensive possession sandwiched in between was why the game was close.
Over the next 15 minutes the Gators held onto the ball for 11:09 seconds and allowed 2 drives by Ole Miss. 1 led to an INT after 6 plays of 7 yards over 1:52, and the other ended on downs after a 5 play 17 yard drive that consumed only 1:45."

It could of easily been lopsided especially with the missed FG & a easy dropped first and ten inside the twenty by Percy Harvin.

From what I've read, the Gators never tried to go down field because they were without Bubba/Riley & Ole Miss just played a big umbrella D most of the game. We were without 4 of 11 offensive starters vs Ole Miss. Pouncey did get in the game though.

In other words, if we don't kill ourselves with penalties/silly mistakes & blow that coverage, it's much more lopsided.

I think this type of game bodes well for the Auburn game & the LSU game where we going to have to change gears depending on the defense. We should be able to play a more ball control offense vs LSU to help keep their offense off the field and keep the pressure off of the D. Getting 2 of our top 4 WRs back will be huge as well. They both should play vs Auburn near or at 100%. I expect to see more touches for Moore vs Auburn especially so Tebow doesn't have to run as much & to hopefully open up the deep ball.

UF/Auburn is at 8 on ESPN. Yay finally a night game, sorry Auburn

Bama/FSU is at 5 on CBS.

5 on CBS????? wow...that's a different start time for CBS


stupid Illinois-Penn St is at 11 AM local time
damn conference gets its own network, yet sticks with the crappiest start times

Yeah Urban's offense is pretty decent for ball control, esp. with a QB that is a threat to run on any down. Its hard to stack the box because then you start leaving guys 1 on 1 with the likes of Caldwell, Harvin, and Cooper...it will be interesting to see the gameplan against LSU. Of course, LSU is probably the best D we see all year, although they've shown a bit of susceptibility to the pass.

Yeah, that's unreal.

& you're right about the weird start time for CBS especially since it's in Florida.

Can Tebow really stand up to all this punishment?

60 yards per game is one thing. 160 is something completely on a new level.

It's hugely impressive, but, in a conference where starting running backs have trouble making it through the year uninjured, I'm having trouble thinking Tebow will make it.

Hopefully you guys know me as an LSU alum, but NOT a homer.

They have? I have not seen it. And I've been watching carefully. Jonathan Zenon and Chevis Jackson are legit lock down corners, and probably the best duo in the country. Craig Steltz is clearly in the category of "bad ass white boy." Taylor is the closest thing the defense had to a weak link, which likely makes him the strongest weak link in college football.

Jasper Brinkley out for the year

horrible break for USC

one thing is they still don't quite have all the depth the other SEC teams do

Not sure if they can make a run at the East title now

Poor kid. I hope he can get a medical redshirt or something. This can't help his draft position (he's a senior).

IIRC, medical redshirts are only for those who have played 20% or less of games in a year

in FBS, that's 2 or less games


I think he's screwed

Yeah, I was about to post. Def not eligible. Huge loss

Fun Tebow article:

Bama/FSU game is somewhat interesting. Bama 3 tough SEC games which were very emotionally draining & FSU coming off a bye week yet huge off the field problems. I think Saban/Bama running game will be the difference though.

Roll Tide, please.

Ok I dont think LSU's secondary is suspect or bad or anything like that, but they are a bit untested IMO. Look at the teams theyve played: MSU and VT have absolutely terrible QBs and USC have Mitchell who is slighty better than absolutely terrible (none of these teams have great playmaker receivers either). Lets face it, you cant run the ball on LSU, its just not gonna happen, theyre too nasty up front. A team like Florida might be able to come in and light up the LSU secondary with playmakers like Harvin and Caldwell with Tebow throwing it. And lets face it the LSU/UF game is gonna be the 3:30pm CBS game (maybe will start @ 5pm with this new time). So no crazy night atmosphere in tiger stadium.

Basically living in Houston and dealing with so many homer insane LSU fans has made me want your team to lose so I could be biased. But a lot of people I know think LSU has some manifest destiny where they cannot lose and I disagree. This stuff doesnt really apply to you but I dont deal with you irl.

Is Lee starting or Weatherford? Do they go with multiple Qbs throughout the game?

DW has played OK at times but I think this might finally be the game he gets pulled if he struggles. He should start. I think you would want XL though he's really bad. DW at least gives them a throwing threat.

I'm going to really answer this whenever I finally get the game to watch through but he's been fine so far this year up until the Ole Miss game. He's been running OOB, slid a few times and really dishes out a lot more punishment then he gets. Most time he gets tackled its arm tackles. I think his 3 hardest hits have been on passing plays, particularly a non late hit spear to the back in the Ole Miss game.

Now, all that said he can't be doing the 27 rushes per game thing & Urban has mentioned that it shouldn't happen again but basically they just wanted to get out with a win this past game obviously & Tebow couldn't be stopped.

I figured

sometimes the other team's scheme just dictates that the offense do the same thing over and over



still, very scary to see a QB run that often
I'm not sure White, Lewis, Dixon, or Juice have gotten that many carries.

SEC is notorious for beating up RBs so they don't survive. Tough to imagine a QB getting away with that, even SuperTebow.

Beware of the Wildcats!

We are aware.

I was wrong about the UF/LSU gametime, its at 8pm est on cbs and the early game will be ut/uga. Thats not good for UF. I just want UF to roll up the Aubs this weekend anyways. I just have this sick feeling that UF wont cover the 18 pts though. I still think they win and I think Ole Miss was definitely a hangover game. Hopefully UF remember what Aub did to them last year.
