Moore will rebound

by admin

Urban Meyer hasn’t given up on Kestahn Moore. You shouldn’t either. Moore is down right now after losing a fumble and mishandling a shotgun snap in the first quarter in the loss to Georgia. And some critical fans are ready to pile on the junior tailback from Texas. He doesn’t deserve it. No one feels worse about his game-changing fumbles in the losses to Georgia and LSU than Moore. He was devastated by both and now … Read More »

UF-UGA prediction time

by admin

There’s a good chance the Gators will experience a ‘Dog day afternoon in Jacksonville on Saturday. Here’s how it can happen: First of all, anyone who’s watched Florida this season knows exactly what the Georgia offense will try to do in this game. They’ll try to pick apart the susceptible UF defense with the short passing game mixed in with draw plays. This has worked for everyone else, so it probably will be successful for the … Read More »

The legend grows

by admin

He’s only a sophomore, he’s only started seven games, but Tim Tebow may be the most recognizable player in college football at the moment. He certainly is in the SEC, where opposing players want to knock him out and opposing fans are venting so hard against him they’re turning blue in the face. Several Florida players the other day were talking about the obvious dislike the opposing fans are showing for their quarterback. It’s not surprising. Like … Read More »

UF vs. UK prediction time

by admin

Why Kentucky should win:The Wildcats have exactly the kind of offense the Gators have had problems with all season: a throwing quarterback working behind an experienced offensive line with excellent and fast wide receivers. And you can throw in a sound running game. It’s the kind of balance that’s tough to defend, the kind of balance UF has failed to defend. This is all setting up for a huge game for Heisman hopeful quarterback Andre’ Woodson, who should have a monster … Read More »

Read this book

If you’re heading to Lexington this weekend and looking for a good book to read on the trip, I’ve got one for you. It’s called “Meat Market” and it was written by ESPN writer Bruce Feldman, who was offered inside access to Ole Miss coach Ed Orgeron and the Rebels’ recruiting war room for almost a year. What Feldman has put together is a fascinating, behind-the-scenes glimpse at college football recruiting. And it’s a quick, easy … Read More »

Watch them grow

by admin

Here’s some advice for Florida fans who are down and out after consecutive SEC losses: stop worrying about wins and losses, stop fretting over the race in the Eastern Division, and sit back and enjoy watching this young team come of age over the second half of the season. This is going to be fun. Even in defeat Saturday night in Baton Rouge, the Gators looked like a very talented team that is now starting to … Read More »

UF-LSU prediction time

by admin

Here’s why LSU should win: The Tigers are No. 1 in the nation, they’re playing at home, they’re one of the fastest and most talented teams in college football and they present some serious matchup problems for a young Florida team. The best thing in LSU’s favor is its fast, physical, suffocating defense, which many believe could be the best in college football in the past decade. The Gators scored only 17 points at home against Auburn, so there’s a good … Read More »

A rudderless ship?

by admin

Heading into the season, one of the biggest unknowns about this young Florida football team had to do with leadership. With so few seniors, who were the leaders going to be and where was the leadership going to come from? Following senior strong safety Tony Joiner’s arrest Tuesday morning for breaking and entering, the leadership issue is a bigger question mark than ever. If Joiner is a team leader (a role he seemed to embrace last spring) then the Gators are in … Read More »
