Well.Ricky "Coonass" Jean-Francois may arrive in a car wreck, but after Tim the Tebow lowers a shoulder and takes him out, he may live in Gainesville for awhile.

If the picture doesn't do the Tigers defensive tackle justice, check out this <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoiX1mqq3dg> clip of him working out. When I talked with Jean-Francois last week, he said his defensive line getting a clean shot on a quarterback like Tim Tebow equates to "a car wreck without a seat belt." Let the Florida-LSU week officially begin, folks. "If we get a good shot on (Tebow), we're going to try our best to take him out of the game," Jean-Francois said. "With his size and his heart, it's hard to get a clean shot." When asked how Tebow might deal with the pain of an LSU hit, Jean-Francois said "If he does get hurt, there's a trained medical staff at Florida, so you can go to the training room on Sunday." That's one dude I wouldn't want to anger. In fairness, Jean-Francois and his fellow lineman Tyson Jackson both expressed a respect for Tebow and his toughness in last week's interviews. And an LSU lineman hitting any QB full steam with no block is like the "car wreck," not just Tebow. But that doesn't mean they don't want to lay him out, Jean-Francois said. "I think every lineman wants to get a good hit on a Heisman Trophy winner," Jean-Francois said. The Gators are going to have to avoid more than big hits in order to rebound from last year's 28-24 loss that included LSU's five straight fourth-down conversions. Jean-Francois said the fourth downs and Jacob Hester's touchdown run with 1:09 left "took the life out of them." Gators linebacker Brandon Hicks said the defense is playing with revenge in mind. Florida practiced Sunday night and will be off on Monday. "OK, this is the game," Hicks said. "This week, there's nothing else that really matters. There's no worrying about the bye week after LSU. It's just nothing but 8 p.m. this Saturday night. We've got a chip on our shoulders, a fire in our eyes to kick somebody's butt." --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
