Go Gators..

The SEC is way over-rated. Michigan should be #2 and Wisconsin should be higher then #7. Go Big Ten,

Big Ten - Where Tradition Was Born!

Pass defense appears poor because we have been so good at stopping the run teams throw often, and a lot of it has come at garbage time. Against SC if you notice most of their passing was short passes over the middle...the area normally patrolled by Siler and Everett. They were out/injured and we had true freshmen in there who were exploited. By the 8th we should be fully healthy, and I think our D can hang with OSU's offense when at full strength. Overall Pass defense looks bad, but our pass efficiency defense is 6th in the country. We have only given up 10 pass TD's while getting 20 INT's. All year our defense has really been bend but don't break, especially in the passing game.

What I did find interesting is that with all the hoopla with OSU offense, UF actually averages more passing yards a game than OSU, and most would say against tougher defenses overall. Smith gets all the accolades, but OSU's strength is really their run game, averaging 180 a game. That should play in nicely with our 6th ranked run defense, which held the 3rd best running team in Arkansas about 100 yards below their average.....

I think we matchup nicely with OSU, more than any other team. It will all come down to execution.

But Siler has a partially torn MCL...he left the SEC Champ game, and even if he does play, that is not the same Brandon Siler we all know. I also forgot that Eark Everet was hurt that game (I was still a little intoxicated during the first half).

But I think our O will have a big game vs. that weak OSU D...Harvin, Caldwell, and Ingram should all have big games, but hopefully D Wynn can get the ball more and help us keep OSU's offense off the field.

From what I have heard Siler will be close to full strengthif not at full strength by the time the game is played. 

I agree our O should have a good game, as OSU will not have seen speed like we have in Harvin, Caldwell, and co.

The way I see it is our Offense should overachieve against their defense.  Their offense should underachieve against our defense.  That should make it a good game, and depending on what degree's these things happen will determine the outcome.

When I was at gator growl and they showed that I almost lost it....

I was telling everyone about that and I wished they could see it, so I was glad to find it on you tube.

Yeah, I am hoping mine work out.

Get 2 extra for me, and I will LOVE YOU forever......plus pay you.

but to win vs. OU, we'll need to get D Wynn involved and control the clock. (Something we haven't done well this year)

No doubt.

any luck?  so far the best we got on flight was 5 bills unless we wanted one with 2 stops along the way. Hotels are crazy also.

Yeha, I am seeing the same things.  It is going to cost me a bundle to go, but I feel it's worth it.

[karen anderson]

Worth it?? HELL YEAH!!
