[gatortalk] Re: [gatornews] [SUN]: Notebook: Meyer veteran of UF-Florida State rivalry (Aschoff)
I agree that their defense is good. Statistically they are #7 in the country, but I believe that if you look at the national rankings of the offenses they've faced, you'll see that the lofty ranking may be a bit of fool's gold. The highest ranked offenses they've faced are in the 50s and they've had some trouble with them. We're coming into this game ranked #18 on offense, and on a roll. Sure - it's a rivalry game and in those anything can happen, but if we just settle down and play our game, don't give them short fields or der\fensive scores, they shouldn't be able to stay on the field with us. --- On Tue, 11/25/08, NZ Gator [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From: NZ Gator [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [gatortalk] Re: [gatornews] [SUN]: Notebook: Meyer veteran of UF-Florida State rivalry (Aschoff) To: Gatortalk@googlegroups.com Date: Tuesday, November 25, 2008, 10:34 PM FSU isn't a mediocre defense; it is the #7 defense in the country.

FSU can't begin to keep up with us if we're on our game, so the only risk is that we overlook them and come in there playing flat. It's always possible, but I have a sense that these guys really took the loss to Ole Miss to heart and that they understand the need to be mentally prepared for every game. If they were going to go flat, I think this last Saturday is when they would have done it. I am nervous too, partly because of the loss of Marsh in a very critical position, but mostly just because I know the 'holes' will be looking at us the way we looked at Georgia going into that game. They'll want to win this so badly they'll have been dreaming about it all week. For a mediocre team, knocking your biggest rival out of the MNC race would be the highlight of your year. They'll play a very tough game and won't give up ground willingly. But, in the end, I think our guys will prepare well, and will be up for the game. If they do, we'll be fine and yet another leading defense will have its stats shot all to heck.

It's nasty, Meyer said Monday. This is an ugly one. His team is so amped for Saturday's game in Tallahassee that Meyer admitted after The Citadel game that some of the veterans on his team had already turned their focus to the Seminoles by halftime. Both UF and FSU rank first in their respective conferences in total offense and the Seminoles are second in the ACC in total defense, while the Gators sit at third in the SEC. Meyer said he is expecting to get the best out of FSU's defense and doesn't see much of a change from its game plan from years past. It's FSU defense, he said. Schematically, they're very similar to what they've been in the past. Talent-wise they've been very similar and you watch them and that's who they are. Very well coached and they're a hardnosed, tough outfit that runs well. Two-minute drill With the recent blowouts by the Gators, Meyer said he was so concerned about his team being unaccustomed to having to make any sort of crucial drive late in a game that he had a heart-to-heart with his players about such situations. Meyer will now end each practice with 15-20 minutes devoted to running a no-huddle, two-minute offense. Every Tuesday and Wednesday we're going to finish practice with a real game situation,

Let's go back a few weeks to see why the Florida Gators are the best team in college football. Did I really just type that? Sorry, 'Bama, Texas, and OU fans, but it's true. Over the last six weeks, the Gators have been totally dominant on both sides of the football. The offense has been annihilating the opposition and scoring like a high school kid on prom night. The defense has been tougher than Chuck Liddell. Can anyone disagree with that? Let's take a look: 10/11 No. 4 LSU 5-1 (3-1) W 51-21 10/25 Kentucky 6-1 (4-1)W 63-5 11/01 @ No. 6 Georgia 7-1 (5-1) W 49-10 11/08 @ Vanderbilt 8-1 (6-1)W 42-14 11/15 No. 25 S.

Then came the destruction of early season surprise Kentucky, which they turned it into a laugher and got tuned up for the most impressive win of the season, at Georgia. They traveled to Athens and took the Bulldogs to the woodshed between the hedges. Then Vandy was brought back to earth and they laid the biggest whooping the Ole Ball Coach has ever seen. Then they had time to heal up by feasting on the Citadel, the only non-conference game during this streak. The second season started for Florida on September 28th, the day after losing 31-31 to Ole Miss at the Swamp. That seemed to light a fire in the Gators as they have gone on to win seven straight, averaging 53 points a game. Just as impressive has been the Gator defense, who has given up only 12 points a game, the most being LSU's 21 (on the road) during this time. So what, you may say? Well, when you consider three of those games were on the road and included two top-10 teams in the streak, you have to describe their play as dominant. Don't get me wrong, Oklahoma looked great Saturday against Texas Tech, but I'll put my money on the Gators. (Do you know how hard that is for an LSU fan to say?) As much as I cannot stand Urban Meyer, he has righted the ship in Gainesville and has them playing outstanding football. Tim Tebow is an arrogant, cocky jerk who is one hell of an athlete and if not for the great year the Big 12 trio (Sam Bradford, Graham Harrell, and Colt McCoy) are having, would be your leading Heisman candidate. Florida is a legit threat in the BCS picture, but will probably not get a shot at the national title. Look at this with an open mind: if Florida beats FSU and the beats 'Bama in the SEC title game, how can they honestly be overlooked for a title shot?

Monday, November 24, 2008 Florida, College Football's Best? http://www.sports-central.org/sports/2008/11/24/florida_college_footballs_b est-print.php By Chad Wilson Are the Florida Gators the best team in college football? Believe it, as the Gator Bulldozer leveled the Bulldogs on Saturday. An impressive win over the Citadel, huh? Let's go back a few weeks to see why the Florida Gators are the best team in college football. Did I really just type that? Sorry, 'Bama, Texas, and OU fans, but it's true. Over the last six weeks, the Gators have been totally dominant on both sides of the football. The offense has been annihilating the opposition and scoring like a high school kid on prom night. The defense has been tougher than Chuck Liddell. Can anyone disagree with that? Let's take a look: 10/11 No. 4 LSU 5-1 (3-1) W 51-21 10/25 Kentucky 6-1 (4-1)W 63-5 11/01 @ No. 6 Georgia 7-1 (5-1) W 49-10 11/08 @ Vanderbilt 8-1 (6-1)W 42-14 11/15 No. 25 S. Carolina 9-1 (7-1) W 56-6 11/22 Citadel 10-1 (7-1)W 70-19 It started with the shellacking they laid on the LSU Tigers in which they dominated from the opening kickoff and exposed the weakness of the much overrated Tiger defense. Then came the destruction of early season surprise Kentucky, which they turned it into a laugher and got tuned up for the most impressive win of the season, at Georgia. They traveled to Athens and took the Bulldogs to the woodshed between the hedges. Then Vandy was brought back to earth and they laid the biggest whooping the Ole Ball Coach has ever seen. Then they had time to heal up by feasting on the Citadel, the only non-conference game during this streak. The second season started for Florida on September 28th, the day after losing 31-31 to Ole Miss at the Swamp. That seemed to light a fire in the Gators as they have gone on to win seven straight, averaging 53 points a game. Just as impressive has been the Gator defense, who has given up only 12 points a game, the most being LSU's 21 (on the road) during this time. So what, you may say? Well, when you consider three of those games were on the road and included two top-10 teams in the streak, you have to describe their play as dominant. Don't get me wrong, Oklahoma looked great Saturday against Texas Tech, but I'll put my money on the Gators. (Do you know how hard that is for an LSU fan to say?) As much as I cannot stand Urban Meyer, he has righted the ship in Gainesville and has them

Based on this quote, I don't think you have to worry about the team... Sophomore cornerback Joe Haden said he realized preparation for this game was a bit different when he noticed the game plan packet the team received at the beginning of the week was much thicker than the others this year. The scouting report is like they've been looking at (the FSU game) the whole season, Haden said. _ From: Gatortalk@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of NZ Gator Sent: Tuesday, November 25, 2008 9:35 PM To: Gatortalk@googlegroups.com Subject: [gatortalk] Re: [gatornews] [SUN]: Notebook: Meyer veteran of UF-Florida State rivalry (Aschoff) FSU isn't a mediocre defense; it is the #7 defense in the country.

FSU can't begin to keep up with us if we're on our game, so the only risk is that we overlook them and come in there playing flat. It's always possible, but I have a sense that these guys really took the loss to Ole Miss to heart and that they understand the need to be mentally prepared for every game. If they were going to go flat, I think this last Saturday is when they would have done it. I am nervous too, partly because of the loss of Marsh in a very critical position, but mostly just because I know the 'holes' will be looking at us the way we looked at Georgia going into that game. They'll want to win this so badly they'll have been dreaming about it all week. For a mediocre team, knocking your biggest rival out of the MNC race would be the highlight of your year. They'll play a very tough game and won't give up ground willingly. But, in the end, I think our guys will prepare well, and will be up for the game. If they do, we'll be fine and yet another leading defense will have its stats shot all to heck.

It's nasty, Meyer said Monday. This is an ugly one. His team is so amped for Saturday's game in Tallahassee that Meyer admitted after The Citadel game that some of the veterans on his team had already turned their focus to the Seminoles by halftime. Both UF and FSU rank first in their respective conferences in total offense and the Seminoles are second in the ACC in total defense, while the Gators sit at third in the SEC. Meyer said he is expecting to get the best out of FSU's defense and doesn't see much of a change from its game plan from years past. It's FSU defense, he said. Schematically, they're very similar to what they've been in the past. Talent-wise they've been very similar and you watch them and that's who they are. Very well coached and

[gatortalk] TWO FLORIDA STATE RECEIVERS ARRESTED
Two weeks ago, Florida State suspended five wide receivers in connection with a fight on campus, although at the time no arrests had been made. Today police arrested two of the wide receivers on misdemeanor battery charges stemming from the fight. The receivers, 20-year-old redshirt freshmen Bert Reed and Cameron Wade, turned themselves in at the Leon County Jail and posted bond. Both are suspended for Saturday’s game against Florida. The other three receivers who were suspended two weeks ago are expected to play against the Gators. Reed is fourth on the team with 16 catches for 253 yards. Wade plays sparingly and has only one catch this year. Campus police are still investigating the fight, which has been described as a brawl between football players and fraternity members. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ 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 -~--~~~~--~~--~--~--- ---BeginMessage--- You sat in our Gator Booster seats with Gator chair backs for the Ole Miss game, boss.
