RE: [gatortalk] Alabammy
They moved the ball on two drives in the first half when they scored their TDs, other than that, not so much. On 12 drives they averaged 3.6 yards per play. Take out the 2 scoring drives and the averaged 1.5 yards per play on the remaining 10 drives. In the second half, the average 1 yard per play. I'm not sure Bama can take too much from that, except to hope that we miss numerous tackles like we did. Also, I think Garcia is a much better QB than McElroy. One additional thought, we blitzed more last night than I have ever seen, it was fun to watch. On their two scoring drives we brought the corner blitz several times and Garcia checked down to the open man each time. I don't think we ran that blitz in the 2nd half at all. Now, on to Florida International. I'm really worried about this game...

Re: [gatortalk] Alabammy
That could explain some, I suppose, but teams look at all game tape, not just how we beat an opponent. I just wish people would stop talking about the Gators being 19 - 0, now 20 - 0. This team is 10 - 0. Those other wins belong to the 2008 team. I want our guys to play loose, and have fun, not like they are trying to preserve or maintain something, or be perfect, or play up to the expectations of others. A few weeks ago, although I certainly didn't want us to lose a game, I was thinking that dropping one might actually be liberating for the team, and give them some motivation (as did the loss to 'Ole Miss last year). It could also have helped with the fans' expectations, and we might not have been so critical after close wins. Anyway, it's way too late for that now. We have three games in front of us, and if we win out, we are the SEC Champions and are playing for the National Championship. Go Gators Ken B.

Re: [gatortalk] Tenn robbers still not off the team?
Even today's Chattanooga newspaper is calling for them to get booted. The article called them the "Big Orange Banditos".

Yes, rushing to judgement before you know how UT is handling the situation. That is my point, not that they are innocent, not that they don't deserve punishment, they do. But we should wait to praise or criticize once we see how it is handled. When Ronnie Wilson fired an assault weapon in the air, there were many saying he should be kicked off immediately. When Brandon Spikes was gently wiping the dirt off of that Dawgs face, many were calling for his dismissal. Let it play out and then see if criticism is warranted.
