:lol:
It you could find some offense to match that defense, UT would be scary. I still think they'll beat some people they are not supposed to this season.i think we earned a lil respect today. were just gonna get better!good job to them and good job to you guys today!
I agree...TN brought a very good defensive plan to the game with the available talent that they have....any passing game at all and they win today. Florida is not the offensive team they were last year...atleast not today....they looked kinda flat. If Bama, LSU, or Ole Miss was there...Florida catches their first loss. I gotta give Kiffin credit...as much as I hate to....but his boys played hard.
Absolutely I think Florida got exposed today. Terry might have eluded to it earlier when he mentioned USC chocking. I think there were two things in common with the games today.
Both teams seemed to let their coaching staffs hold them down. Florida came out still managing a win. USC...not so lucky.
If you look at the games you see the classic "shell" mentality that BAMA teams have played with in recent years. That means don't do anything that can possibly beat you. Don't take shots, don't be aggressive. Just try and keep it close and hope for the best in the end.
In Florida's case, they are superior in every way to Tennessee, but they didn't game plan like it. They had the idea that they would keep the ball in Tebow's hands 70% of the time and he would make enough plays. He did, but I don't think it was what Urban envisioned. Florida never even tried to go down field in this game, and gave wayyyyy too much respect to UT's defense IMHO.
USC played without super freshman and the coaches seemed to be like deer in headlights. instead of letting Corp make some plays, it seems to me that they hamstrung him. Supposedly......Washington doesn't have a player on their roster that could start at USC, but someone forgot to tell Pete Carroll that. Carroll and company promptly went out there playing "not to lose". It cost them.
Classic turtle mentality on offense from both teams. Only difference is UT is just a little bit worse than Washington.
Florida got seriously exposed in this one IMHO. They've got a nice defense, but they have issues on offense and can be had! Maybe not by Charleston Southern, but....

You Damn right you did. Your team played their hearts out. Hell of a job to the coaches as well. I will be the first to say I didnt expect this outcome And Tenn is Back.

Well, I don't know 13? What do you think? I mean, since you have it all figured out. Tell us how this was Florida's "Ole Miss game" or enlighten us on how Florida was not exposed.
Just FYI, if you call this, Florida's "Ole Miss game" you'll probably lose any credibility you have on this board. This is a Florida team that was called out and ***** slapped by Lane Kiffin in the off season. He took personal shots at Meyer, among others, so if you think that Florida was going to come in here and just forget that, or not be prepared, then I have a business proposition for you. Problem was, Florida was prepared. They just might not be as good as advertised is all.
Florida came into this one looking like they were playing not to lose, as opposed to playing to win. Ironic, considering Florida has UT out-manned at pretty much every position on the field, including water boys and cable girls. They also looked like a team that couldn't throw it down field against a decent SEC defense if their life depended on it.
I don't know about you, but I saw some HUGE holes in Florida's facade today. Maybe that's just me.
