Yeah, good point on the offenses they've faced. I also liked Robbie Andreu's column and agree with him that FSU's strong showing last week should help to keep our kids from getting complacent. It's not that I really expect anything bad to happen, but football is so much about emotion and this particular game is always more about the day than about previous records. FSU always makes me nervous and there's nothing that can change that, even when I look objectively at our teams and see that we ought to blow them out easily. Saturday can't get here fast enough for me!

Statistically they are #7 in the country, but I believe that if you look at the national rankings of the offenses they've faced, you'll see that the lofty ranking may be a bit of fool's gold. The highest ranked offenses they've faced are in the 50s and they've had some trouble with them. We're coming into this game ranked #18 on offense, and on a roll. Sure - it's a rivalry game and in those anything can happen, but if we just settle down and play our game, don't give them short fields or der\fensive scores, they shouldn't be able to stay on the field with us. --- On Tue, 11/25/08, NZ Gator <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: From: NZ Gator <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [gatortalk] Re: [gatornews] [SUN]: Notebook: Meyer veteran of UF-Florida State rivalry (Aschoff) To: [email protected] Date: Tuesday, November 25, 2008, 10:34 PM FSU isn't a mediocre defense; it is the #7 defense in the country. (The team is mediocre overall, but that's because of a poor offense.) Anyway, my point is that this team could beat us if our team, like you, isn't worried at all. If they take FSU seriously, and I think they will, then we'll do to them as we've already done to the other highly-ranked defenses we've played. But I don't take anything for granted in this sport and so I'll continue to be nervous until the game gets underway.
