You have reassured me a little bit. I guess I'm more concerned with them "sneaking up on us" like Ole Miss did, but I'm sure the coaches won't let that happen.

Even with the injuries on the DL, we will be going against a weak SOW OL. Will they be jacked? Absolutely. Will they win? No way. This Gator team is too mentally tough to have a let down with the prize in sight. And if any of the WRs involved in the fight are suspended, it will be over early. Some people are saying this sets up like 1997 (Go Quez!), but I don't see it. Yes the SOW was a top tier team that year, but the Gators were nowhere near as bad as SOW is this year. Some people are saying the SOW is playing their best ball of the year - they are 2-2 in their last 4 games. Hmmm, what have the Gators done in their past 7??? Don't worry, we win, cover the spread and move up to #3 in the BCS this week. Ken K.

Last year, I looked forward to this weekend with glee, knowing that we were going spank the little savages and send them home crying. This year, I'm not at all confident we'll spank them nor do I think we'll make them cry. They have played the spoiler before and it would be just like them to do it again.

His team is so amped for Saturday’s game in Tallahassee that Meyer admitted after The Citadel game that some of the veterans on his team had already turned their focus to the Seminoles by halftime. Both UF and FSU rank first in their respective conferences in total offense and the Seminoles are second in the ACC in total defense, while the Gators sit at third in the SEC. Meyer said he is expecting to get the best out of FSU’s defense and doesn’t see much of a change from its game plan from years past. “It’s FSU defense,” he said. “Schematically, they’re very similar to what they’ve been in the past. Talent-wise they’ve been very similar and you watch them and that’s who they are. Very well coached and they’re a hardnosed, tough outfit that runs well.” Two-minute drill With the recent blowouts by the Gators, Meyer said he was so concerned about his team being unaccustomed to having to make any sort of crucial drive late in a game that he had a “heart-to-heart” with his players about such situations. Meyer will now end each practice with 15-20 minutes devoted to running a no-huddle, two-minute offense. “Every Tuesday and Wednesday we’re going to finish practice with a real game situation,” Meyer said. Honors Junior quarterback Tim Tebow will attend The Home Depot ESPNU College Football Awards as one of three finalists for the Maxwell Award. The winner will be revealed Dec. 11, at 7:30 p.m. on ESPN in Lake Buena Vista at the Walt Disney World Resort in the Atlantic Dance Hall. Tebow won the Maxwell Award last season and looks to become the second player to win the award twice. John Lattner won the award in back-to-back years playing for Notre Dame in 1952 and ’53. Tebow ranks first in the Southeastern Conference in passing efficiency with a rating of 175.2, good for fifth in the nation. He has thrown for 2,114 yards and 22 touchdowns with only two interceptions. He has also rushed for 427 yards and 11 touchdowns. Redshirt freshman running back Chris Rainey was named the SEC Freshman Player of the Week, the league announced Monday. Rainey had a career-best 142 rushing yards on seven carries and one touchdown against The Citadel. He had arguably the best play not go for a touchdown when he ran 73 yards after cutting right across the entire field after taking the carry to the left sideline. Rainey now leads UF in rushing yards this season with 557 yards off 74 carries and has four touchdowns Champions Offense: Tim Tebow, John Brantley, Aaron Hernandez, Tate Casey, Javier Estopinan, Louis Murphy, Percy Harvin, Riley Cooper, David Nelson, Deonte Thompson, Emmanuel Moody, Phil Trautwein, Maurkice and Mike Pouncey, Jason Watkins, Marcus Gilbert, Jim Tartt, James Wilson, Chris Rainey Offensive Player of the Game: Kestahn Moore Defense: There were no champions, but special mention was given to Brandon Antwine and William Green. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
