Howdy Gators:
For the second week in a row the Orange and Blue trounced a clearly unworthy opponent in their tune-up for the conference season. Yes, it was a lopsided affair, but still a very entertaining game to watch, and a conspicuous indicator that we have improved upon the early goings of last year. While the Offense was not as wide open as expected (one can only assume we are hiding all our cards to keep our SEC foes in the dark…), the Gators still managed to put on an impressive display, registering over 500 yards. Chris Rainey and his backfield crew are playing like men possessed, and it looks as if the running game will be a focal point of the Florida attack this season. But of course, there's always room for improvement - failing to convert on some early scoring opportunities, the Gators must become more efficient in the red-zone. Field goals may work against the minor league teams, but they will become a real issue against the likes of LSU and The Tide.

On the defensive side of the ball, the Gators continue to look dominant, particularly at the DL position. Holding UAB to a whopping zero points, the Defense once again played with great spirit and athleticism. And to think that Sharrif Floyd, who is presumably quite irate and amped after his unwarranted suspension, will return to the lineup, we should expect another heavy dose of Booyah! at Ben Hill Griffin this weekend.

Come join us this Saturday and watch the #16 Gators square off against Tennessee. Despite the Vols recent downward trend, the annual game against UT has always been a special one. From the days of Heath Shuler, to Peyton Manning, to Tee Martin, the third game of the season has typically been an exciting matchup. Notching over 40 points in their first two games, Tennessee looks to be stronger this season than in years past and seems to have another talented quarterback in their ranks. Charlie Weis (who is apparently moonlighting in Quantico for the FBI?), will need to dial up an equally potent attack to keep pace with the boys from Good Ol’ Rocky Top and ensure an opening win in the SEC East. As, always it should be an interesting
contest.

Go Gators,
Courtney
