I thought about that - that would be Tenn's best bet right now - get us over confident.
But the defense coaches will be talking about how bad our defense was last year, how our defense has "nothing in the bank", etc. I think that the defense still has that chip on their shoulder that they still have a lot to prove.
After Miami game - the "most potent offense in college football" has A LOT to prove. I'm getting tired of hearing about how we have so many playmakers that we can't get them all the ball ... how we have more speed than anyone else, blah, blah, blah. Great - let's just see some play makers other than Tebow and Harvin ...

Or maybe they want the gators to read this and go in overconfident.

I hate to sound over confident - but they sound like wounded sitting ducks.
Any decent defense can stop the run. We did it last year with a bad defense.

Throw in a new QB - that is hobbled on a bad ankle.
Let the big gators eat!
This could be the defense's statement game.
