Oops, I forgot. That's another toughie. I predict a difficult victory there too. Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry

So, this year we're putting up better numbers against better teams. We're also undefeated at this point. The 2008 team, as we all remember, was not at this point of the season. They had one bad game and still won. I think this team has the potential to do better than last year's team, and the '06 team and the '08 team and even the '96 team. They can still go undefeated through the regular season. They can still win the bowl game. If they do, they will have to be recognized as the best team in Gator history. That said, if you think Arkansas was a trap game, you're going to see a bigger trap game in StarkVegas this Saturday. MSU has improved each week since the season began and. we're playing there! I think we'll win, but it's going to be another difficult SEC game. I haven't looked at the Pick'em yet (dumb game) but I'll bet we're favored by a lot less than 24 this week. So, we get by them and we've got the leg humpers, FIU, Vandy and the semis left. I see the potential to go into the SECCG looking pretty good. The WRs have to quit dropping those long bombs eventually. They'll get better and that should open up the running game even more. I'm looking forward to a great rest-of-the-season.

Will a near-loss to Arkansas on Saturday have a similar effect? Will the Gators start opening things up and turning things on like they did during their national championship run a year ago? It's possible. But probably not likely. That's not to say the Gators won't run the table and reach the national title game. What I'm saying is don't expect this UF team to become the offensive juggernaut that last year's team did after the Ole Miss loss. Six games into the season, it's obvious the Gators are what they are. They're a very good defensive team that can shut down opponents when they don't have breakdowns and mental lapses like a week ago. They're a struggling offensive team that doesn't have the playmakers (especially in the passing game) they had a year ago to roll up all kinds of points. Somehow the Gators won a game they probably should have lost Saturday. Like Tim Tebow said Monday, it took a lot of heart and character to somehow earn a victory with those four lost fumbles and six sacks. Maybe the near-loss will take off some of the pressure and UF will start making some of those plays they've been just missing on offensive. Maybe that will lead to more relaxing games and a wider margin of victory. But the thinking here is that was just the first of what could be several down-to-the-wire games for UF the rest of the way. The Gators know they can win those games, just like they did Saturday. To win the national championship, the Gators probably will have to do it the way they did in 2006, when they managed games so well offensively and found a way to win each week. Buckle your seatbelts, because it could be a thrilling (and scary) ride the rest of the way. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ 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 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
