Well, well, well. There is such a thing as a Media Guide that UF still publishes. In 2006, UF scored 416 points. This is the 8th best offensive performance in the history of UF. Not sure if the bowl game is included, but this works out to an average of 35 or 32 points per page. The 2006 UF defense is not in its all-time top 10 in either total yards or points allowed (it does make an appearance in rushing defense - 2nd all time). I think that it would be incorrect - and a bit demeaning to Chris Leak - to state that our 2006 team won the MNC due to its defense. -Zeb --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ 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 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
