Ah, hell – we can’t really afford to lose linemen right now.

Is Florida content to lead 13-0 going into the half
Because that’s where we’re headed

Pretty boring game so far
other then that I am satisfied

The sack on second down bollixed that drive – and either because of the pressure or play-call there was no throw on third.
Lots of running by both teams, the clock has been spinning along pretty fast – an hour ten or so in real time right now.

Also, except for after the pick, field position has been pretty poor for both teams.
by peachy rex on Nov 7, 2009 8:32 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Typical
offense by UF so far, drive down the field, Tebow holds onto it a lil too much or to long. I am over the whole crap, about syle points. Just as the announcers are talking about. Bama is the only team that makes me nervous about playing like this on offense. Even then I am not that worried, considering our D can stop their O.

This apparently isn’t a year for style points – too many strong defences, not enough really loaded or efficient offences. ’Sokay – as long as everyone else wins ugly, we can too.

Riley Cooper clearly was born in the wrong decade.
He looks like he walked straight off the set of “Anchorman”.

Nothing against Tennessee
It’s kind of been lost among the talk of LSU-Alabama and the bevy of FCS games. I’ll edit the intro to fix the oversight.

He’s the guy in the stadium designated to counter-balance Meyer’s sun-hot intensity.
by peachy rex on Nov 7, 2009 9:00 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Although, it's a serious discussion.
The fans have become very subdued the past couple years. Gainesville after the 2006 title was the most insane place I’ve ever been. Gville after 2008 was…eh. I mean, it was fun, and there were fireworks in the middle of crowds and couches burned…but it was overall pretty tame.
That has only continued.

That happens when championships are "expected"
I went to a postseason game in Atlanta in 2004. Very similar. I think the fans would be ecstatic to see the Braves in a game now.

Its not really much of a struggle on offense
its Tebow being too carefull. he plays reallly safe. unless the guy is wide open he isnt throwing it
by Hook85 on Nov 7, 2009 9:00 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Well, I can’t argue too much with that approach – Vandy doesn’t look any livelier than MSU did offensively, and that game stayed a contest for so long solely because of the scores off turnovers.
by peachy rex on Nov 7, 2009 9:01 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
This could still end up as a case for Florida being No. 2
Not saying it should be. But there are a lot of folks out there who are looking for an excuse to underrank the SEC

if UF only win by 13 then Texas deserves nunber 1, theres still alot of game left though. A win by 20 plus and theres no reason to drop them I think.

Iowa was the only team that really worried me as a potential gate-crasher in the top 3.

Yeah, he needs a guy wrapped around him like the Vandy receiver on their third down.

That’s good – I mean, as good as a concussion can be.

Good to hear
I suppose. Concussion is still a pretty serious injury and, yes, I think Cal should sit him until he’s obviously back in shape

Two nice offensive plays in a row by James. That’s nice to see – if the coaches are going to keep feeding him the ball, at least we can get something out of it.
by peachy rex on Nov 7, 2009 9:20 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
He's useless unless he's in space.
When he has space, he’s deadly. But any sort of congestion when he receives the ball makes it a non-starter.
by Giant Catfish on Nov 7, 2009 9:23 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
The wide-receiver screens are a pretty good way to use him, especially with big strong guys like Cooper and Hernandez blocking. The inside handoffs, not so much.
by peachy rex on Nov 7, 2009 9:24 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Now Vandy has to throw the ball a lot more if it wants to win

Also Nick Stephens in at QB
by Incipient_Senescence on Nov 7, 2009 9:25 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
There's a change
Who would have thought earlier in the season that Nick Stephens being brought in at QB late in a game would be a sign Tennessee was winning?

of tenn? if so keep the info coming on how he does
by Hook85 on Nov 7, 2009 9:26 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
0 of 2 so far, with a punt
Hard to say whether he’s the future. He has 1 year left, we’re bringing in a true freshman. They’ll compete for the job.

Hook85, I saw an incoherent tweet that reminded me of our conversation
@ChiefHava: Can’t believe Florida has only hung 13-3 on Vandy. SEC is not as good as you guys think they are.
Because, you know, Florida is in the SEC and Vanderbilt is in the Sun Belt.

thats nothing like my comment
nice try though
by Hook85 on Nov 7, 2009 9:28 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Except that they're exactly alike, that's a good point
How is judging the Pac-10 based on Stanford-Oregon any different than judging the SEC based on Florida-Vanderbilt? They’re both conference games, hence both zero-sum.
by PhilipVU94 on Nov 7, 2009 9:30 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
I didnt judge pac10 based on stanford/oregon
I based it on, their 2 best teams can be easily beat by any team. thats not a dominate conference
by Hook85 on Nov 7, 2009 9:33 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
"can be easily beat by any team"
But the “any team” in question is another Pac-10 team!
by PhilipVU94 on Nov 7, 2009 9:34 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
and Florida hasnt lost, and will not lose
so SEC top teams can not be beat by just anybody, UF will not lose to some random team twice in one season.
And YES a conf is judged by its juggernauts as well as it is by the bottom dwellers.
When Pac10 doesnt have anyteams in the top 15, just admit that I am right.
And what are you arguing, is it just too argue

USC has the mother of all hangovers – shut out so far (2:34 before the half, ASU ball), 4/11 for 24 yards for Barkley, 77 total with no conversions on third or fourth. I know ASU’s D is excellent, but this is ugly.

Hernandez can pick up some serious YAC when he looks for open space rather than trying to hunt down and flatten the closest defender.

I like how they kept Tebow in to pad his stats a little until that long pass, Meyer was like ok that looks like a decent game for timmy.
by Hook85 on Nov 7, 2009 10:10 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
The charitable interpretation is that the long pass flipped field position, reducing the probable impact of a turnover – Vandy would still have to march sixty or seventy yards instead of being virtually in the red zone.
by peachy rex on Nov 7, 2009 10:12 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
UT's all walkon defense with a goaline stand
