Howdy Gators:

Well another week and another nail-biting contest for our strangely sputtering Gators. Not to dismiss a win in Knoxville, which is never an easy task, but we obviously still don't seem to be clicking on Offense. To paraphrase an article I read recently, one week is an aberration, two weeks is a worrisome pattern, but after three weeks of mistake-filled, uninspiring football, quite possibly it is what it is. Perhaps it's youth, perhaps it's the excruciatingly conservative scheme of the not-so-creative Steve Adazzio, but I think we all realize that something is not quite right for a Florida offense that has historically dazzled and entertained.

OK, now that I have that off my chest, I think we can celebrate the fact that we beat the lowly Vols for the sixth straight time and still remain undefeated. But it wasn't easy! Were it not for an extremely gutsy fake-punt call (which I only actually saw on replay after temporarily turning away in disgust on what appeared to be a three-and-out by the Gators), we might have limped out of Neyland Stadium with a crushing "L." Hats off to Urban for realizing that the momentum had shifted and that the Orange and Blue needed to snatch it back or else fall prey to a clearly less talented UT team. And kudos to John Brantley for playing relatively mistake-free football (no thanks to the pitifully inept Mike Pouncey) and making some big third-down conversions. Hopefully Adazzio will realize he has a passing talent under his tutelage and open up the offense a bit more (Note to Steve: Tebow graduated. Move on!). And finally, large props again to our Defense. Despite a couple missteps by our secondary, the Gator D once again came up big, forcing some crucial turnovers and holding the Vols offensive attack largely in check.
Come on out this Saturday and watch Florida face off against the Kentucky Wildcats in Gainesville. While this contest has been lopsided for the past 25 years (UK hasn't won since 1986), Kentucky is looking strong thus far under offensively-minded first year coach Joker Philips, so the Gators will need to put some points on the board to emerge with a victory. I am looking at you Adazzio - open up the offense and use all your weapons, daggummit!

Go Gators,
Courtney
