floridagators.com: Volunteers Rumble, Gators Stumble in Second Half

[kamoshika]

"It's been 11 years," UF junior linebacker Alex Anzalone said. "To be the team that lost the [streak] really hurts."

It especially had to smart given the way things played out and the manner the Gators' defense -- so proud and boastful in the months-long run-up to the game -- surrendered massive chunks of yards in the second half. UT quarterback Josh Hobbs passed for 319 yards and four touchdowns, plus rushed for another in shredding the nation's top-ranked defense for 38 unanswered points. Of those numbers, 235 yards and all five TDs came after intermission — and after the No. 19 Gators (3-1, 1-1) jumped ahead 21-0 so matter-of-factly early on.

On this night, the duck pulled the truck.

"I hope they learned a lesson," McElwain said. "In life, being humble, there's a lot of lessons in that. ... But, like I told them -- [better] back it up."

Maybe next time.

Josh Hobbs?

 

[chargervol]

Shouldn't McElwain have told them that before the game? Instead of saying he hopes they learned it afterwards?

Right? He encouraged it

Josh Hobbs?

No wonder we looked different the second half. That Hobbs kid was balling.

Exactly, he was just as smug as his players and he let them run off at the mouth if he didn't outright encourage it.

I think his attitude before the game was that the comments were no problem.

 

[Kurtastrophe]

I'm so glad they ran their mouths so much.

 

[Vol Kilmer]

Right? He encouraged it

He's a buckwheat fruitcake. Was the luckiest 1st yr. SEC coach ever, and knows O...but he doesn't have the charisma for that job.

Out in 2 years, imo.

Hobbs for Heisman

Exactly and when they were up 21-0 he was thinking "help yeah we talked all this trash and now we're backing it up". Not so fast my friend...

Vol Kilmer from the top rope! well done!

 

[montanatenn]

Josh Hobbs?

Roys' brother. Best there ever was.

 

[volnal]

Josh Hobbs?

Too funny! But then again they have fans that can't even spell Reptile!

You better hope he doesn't get fired!!!! Historically FLorida will have a dud coach like Curly Hullman, then replace them with Spurrier.
or have a Ron Zook and replace him with an Urban Crier.
We need Florida to do above average and NOT fire their current coach but keep him in place for 20 years like UGA did with Richt. THis way we can beat them 7 out of 10 years.

 

[ETV]

Josh Hobbs?

Roy Hobbs?

 

[Face]

Shouldn't McElwain have told them that before the game? Instead of saying he hopes they learned it afterwards?

he's still a new head coach. obviously, failed in this experiment. Doubt we see the gators talk like that anymore.

 

[Shocker0]

I'm so glad they ran their mouths so much.

Makes it sting even more for the punks

 

[ETV]

Roys' brother. Best there ever was.

Roy excelled in baseball though.

Then he watched a meltdown that looked like it was from Happy Gilmore or The Waterboy.

The Vols were valiant and marvelous in the 2nd Half with a valiant terrific comeback win.
The Gators found 1 of the worst ever ways to end a streak that is 1 of their worst losses ever. They became Charlie Brown in the 2nd half.

Hobbs...The Natural

 

[NEVolFan]

Josh Hobbs?

They just hurting right now... pulling those hobbnails out. compliments of JD.

 

[firestorm]

Hobbs...The Natural

He proved his valour and resiliency.
A marvelous rebound to produce a terrific valiant win.

After the int in the 2nd half Dobbs was a Superstar.
The Gators qb was made a chump in the 2nd half.
