Congratulations.

One of the things that concerned me before the game was that while I thought the Tennessee defense could be had, they got stronger as the game went along in each game. Today was no different. I know that the offense will get most of the credit for the win, but IMO, the defense gave the offense an opportunity to get it done. And the offense came through

Tennessee did what they needed to do to break the streak. Bad stuff happens. It’s the way it is. Today, they said “screw it”, we’re going to win anyway.

Someone mentioned what Florida did against North Texas defensively and I said that gameplans are different for every opponent. I indicated that I don’t know why you would blitz Tennessee. After this game, I still don’t know why you would blitz Tennessee. My greatest fears were realized. Florida felt the need to leave open the opportunity for big plays. Tennessee made them pay. The great irony is that Florida lived off of the big play in the 1st half. Once there was no big play, there was no offense.

The best news, for you all, isn’t merely that Tennessee won. It’s how they game played out. They won despite the fact that everything that could go wrong did and they didn’t let it phase them.

Enjoy. Be safe. Try not to wear out the DVR.

This post is an example of why I think one of the best posters on VN is a Gators fan.
