You guys came to play and hopefully put a reality check into our players that we won't be winning big every time. I'm not sure if conservative play calling team of the day should go to Tennessee or Florida but that was ridiculous. Especially for us since we are #1 and trying to win a national title, although we looked very far from that. I think you guys should give most everyone a hell of a time with that defense. Good luck the rest of the way, hopefully I'll get up to Knoxville for a 3rd time in a row next year for the game.

F a bunch of backhanded compliments. We're coming, but I hope like hell we gave the class to avoid being trolls. I know at least one of us will stay away.

The garbage about winning big needs to stop. IF has serious flaws that the rest of the SEC is going to hammer.

Thanks for the classy post. In all honesty, I would say that most FL fans were pretty surprised with how we looked.

The conservative play call was because your WR could not get open. You guys are in sore need of Percy Harvins and I would say that your WR position is the weakest on your team. Your QB IS A THOROUGHBRED. Good luck to you guys. You have the best chance out of any team in the SEC to win the big dance. See you in Neyland

Yeah, I'm thinking the gators string of never having an undefeated season will continue. Good luck with that national title thing.... :mad:

Yea, having Deonte Thompson who is a burner out didn't help but I seriously have a hard time believing that him in would have all of a sudden freed up our receivers. Our coaches said they just didn't know what to expect and it called for ball control which it did but it's painful to watch after watching what our offense did most of last year. I'm just worried about the trip to Kentucky now.

You guys tried to throw deep. No one was open, Tebow got sacked or flushed. Repeatedly. So they quit.

Our secondary is pretty darn good. Monte made sure that you guys had to beat us on the run. Teabow put the team on his back and ran to victory.

I find it quite humorous that the very same gator fans that before the game were saying how much of a smackdown this would be, how urbie would call a time out at the end (I think tebow even got in on that talk), and how everything in the arsenal would be used to embarrass us are now the same ones saying how conservative they played.

Simply avoiding the reality that the weapons aren't there. Teams will climb all over that.

The run wasn't working for awhile and they didn't quit that. Tebow usually isn't gun shy of throwing deep into coverage. You guys might be the best defense we face all year though, maybe with Alabama being the best but that remains to be seen.

Both sides were conservative for 2 different reasons. UF had a problem blocking the pass rush. Unless Tebow rolled out, he didn't have enough time to go long. UT just doesn't have enough confidence in the QB to be anything other than conservative.
