The gap actually widened, despite having bad seasons. Reason for that being is USC had to vacate several wins, thus setting them back even further from Tennessee. USC would have passed UT without NCAA involvement, but UT would still be significantly higher than georgia. In fact if UT continued...

That happens at Neyland too. I was there during the junior vols weekend for a wedding reception that was taking place in the luxury boxes and was on the 2nd deck watching the display. The lights were on and video was playing. They didn't simulate any kind of game experience, just letting them...

Tennessee has had the opportunity to score 28 points in this game. While I don't expect to score all 28 on a good defense, at this point (start of the 4th) UT could reasonable expect to score at LEAST 12 points, which would make it a game. Instead they came away with 3. There is no excuse for...

Simms is consistently abonimable at quarterback. He couldn't hit anyone even on simple throws to the flat. He tries to rifle every throw, even short ones or touch throws. And yes those two throws were COMPLETELY his fault. Rodgers was bumped to the outside--in the 20 minutes that simms likes to...

May want to recheck your averages there. Taylor and Garner have the same YPC average (4.6) and nearly identical touchdowns per attempt at 38 for taylor and 39 for garner. Garner had better receiving stats by quite a bit and did very well at both oakland and SF. I'm not diminishing either...

To be fair to Florida backs, Fred Taylor played longer (by 2 seasons) and had a possibly more impactful career than Charlie Garner. That said you can't name another one since then that's done anything. Come to think of it I really can't name any good Florida players besides Kearse or Taylor or...

game*. You're right, clearly one word typed wrong in an entire post is far more incriminating than entire concepts and statements being incorrect.

Must not watch as much football as you think. That's exactly what georgia has done several times over the past few years. Same personnel, just knuckling up and cramming the ball down opponent's throats in the back half of the season. Changing identities during the Florida team is a tall task...

Well somebody better tell those longhorns what the deal is because on their website (utexas.edu) they are listed as The University of Texas. Btw A&M is only 7 years older than "texas university." It's not like the aggies are some kind of relic dinosaur that existed since time-immemorial that...

Sounds like the USC boards over here, "they aren't that talented". Of course not, they only brought in multiple top 5 recruiting classes. Watch those games. They are vastly more talented than the opposition. They have HORRIBLE coaching. They are bigger and stronger and faster than anyone they...

I know what you mean. I think Poole is a very good draw/counter and corner-bouncing type running back, not so much between the tackles. That doesn't me he doesn't run hard, I just think his strength is elsewhere. I wouldn't be suprised to see Poole have a "shockingly" good day (that being...

The flip side to that is, of course, how much of their statistical malady is caused by having played Florida who made them look terrible. That said I'd agree that those two opponents were extremely bad. UAB was absolutely awful at putting 2-3 players together in a row without stopping themselves...

Didn't watch the FAU game because I was at the openner but I'll say this for the UAB game. UAB looked a lot worse than Florida did good. UAB had some good players every now and then but it always got called back on a penalty or something dumb happened afterwards that was totally their fault. The...

UNC had an extremely stout defense. They also played a version of the passing game that was much inferior to what it is today. If you watched that game you should be aware of how many missed calls were in that game--enough for the SEC ref crew that watched to say "were there mistakes? Well...

Thats probably because UT has won 6 of their last 7 games (really 7 of the last 7, thanks refs) with little to no run game to support the passing attack, which is leaps and bounds better regardless of the running game this year. While I think running will matter, I don't think UT will beat UF's...
