What I remember most was Leak's precision passing marching UF up and down the field against Ohio State. If he had an incompletion in the first half, I don't recall it. I know it is fashionable to attribute that NC to Tebow, but I don't remember it that way. -Zeb On Oct 19, 2009, at 5:27 PM, Steve McKibben wrote: Those Pouncey's must have been amazing if they helped us that much - they also won a state championship for Lakeland High that year - along with Rainey, Black, Wilson, Brown, et. al.! --- On Mon, 10/19/09, Badrish Davanagere dbadr...@gmail.com wrote: I totally believe that we won because of the excellent true- freshmen performances (mainly of Tebow, Harvin and Pounce twins) AND an awesome defense. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ 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 -~--~~~~--~~--~--~---

My opinion was based on the whole season, not just NC. Also, I said the whole freshman group made a difference but didn't mean that the NC totally needs to be attributed to Tebow :-) On Tue, Oct 20, 2009 at 11:13 AM, John Vega zebu...@gate.net wrote: What I remember most was Leak's precision passing marching UF up and down the field against Ohio State.

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 -~--~~~~--~~--~--~---
