This version of the Tiger offense leaves many people scratching their heads.

Alligator Army

At 6-0 and No. 2 in the BCS rankings, is it time to start considering Florida a legitimate national title contender?

Dawg Sports

No one's paying attention to it, but we actually have a game this weekend. Sure, we're all still shell-shocked from the events of two weeks ago, but at some point we (both as a team and a fan base) have to realize the sky never fell and in fact, after the events of this past weekend, the ceiling has been raised.

A Sea of Blue

Patrick Towles can now get up on his toes, which is a very good sign for a high ankle sprain.

Good Bull Hunting

Hey guys! We won and scored 59 points last week! Yippee! Oh....but we also gave up 57 weeks. Bending Crew! Bending Crew! What is going on with our defense in complete meltdown mode? Let's look and see under Mark Snyder's defensive hood.

Anchor of Gold

Vanderbilt couldn't keep up with #4 Florida in a 31-17 loss on Saturday night. Can their defensive and special teams lapses be fixed?
