Storming to Atlanta: No. 2 UF heads for showdown with No. 1 'Bama after beating FSU
Nov. 29, 2008TALLAHASSEE - It seemed appropriate that the final step to Atlanta would resemble a swamp.
TALLAHASSEE - It seemed appropriate that the final step to Atlanta would resemble a swamp.
TALLAHASSEE - Florida's supply of playmakers continues to seem endless.
TALLAHASSEE - Lost amid the Gators' 30-point victory against the Seminoles on Saturday might be the most important play of UF's season.
TALLAHASSEE - A lot has been said about UF's quick strike offense, but lost amid the offensive exploits is the dominant play of the defense early in games.
TALLAHASSEE - Florida's offense and the weather had a similar effect inside Doak Campbell Stadium on Saturday.
If it feels like every game the Gators have played this season has been against a rival, you're not alone.
We here at the alligatorSports Brand Picks Column are seeing double.
It might sound ridiculous, but No. 2 UF has been defeating its opponents by too much lately.
The game was over in the first quarter, so it's understandable to just get the basics in.
As he left Florida Field for what may have been the final time on Saturday, Percy Harvin took a much different route than fans are used to seeing from the talented junior receiver.
Tim Tebow better have enjoyed that last victory lap around Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. UF's junior quarterback may never take another one in The Swamp again after Saturday's 70-13 debacle against The Citadel.
In a game that played out more like an exhibition or a video game one of the most interesting nuggets in the Gators public beating of the Citadel is the growing confidence of backup QB John Brantley.
Backup quarterback Cameron Newton has been charged with larceny, burglary and obstruction of justice, and he is currently in Alachua County Jails as of 6 p.m. They are all felony charges.
The term "blood, sweat and tears" is cliche and often overused.
Here at the alligatorSports Brand Picks Column, we're suckers for an inspirational tale, and few around UF can match that of Tim Higgins.
Percy Harvin is developing multiple personalities.
When asked if he has made a "signature hit" this year, junior linebacker Brandon Spikes gave a quick response: "No, not at all."
If Saturday's game against The Citadel is Tim Tebow's last time playing in The Swamp, he's not letting anybody know.
