Gators extend lead: UF 16 Miami 3

Sep. 5, 2008

Give an assist to the refs on this one. On 3rd and 9 Tim Tebow launched a ball to the right sideline, which Carl Moore caught, but it was initially ruled an incompletion. Then the call was overtuned, and the Gators had the ball on the Hurricanes 5 yard line. After a Tebow incompletion and a Kestahn Moore run for no gain, Tebow threw a ball to Percy Harvin in the endzone and got an interference call. With three shots to get just two yards, the Gators finally scored on 3rd down as Tebow optioned to Harvin and he strutted into the endzone.

The Gators sleeping offense has finally started to stir, and the Hurricanes offense pretty much has to get on the scoreboard some how this drive if they want to come back in this one.

Sep. 5, 2008

Welcome back, Aaron Hernandez. After a 14-yard shanked punt by Miami, the Gators capitalized with a five-play drive that ended with UF's sophomore tight end catching a Tim Tebow pass in the endzone. Hernandez missed the season opener for undisclosed reasons. Tebow looked like he was about to get sacked, but Tebow being Tebow, he got away from the 'Canes linemen and lofted one a few yards deep in the endzone to an open Hernandez.

Second quarter update: UF 7-Miami 3

Sep. 5, 2008

It was from 50 yards, but Matt Bosher nailed it. Miami grinded out a 16-play drive in 8:42 and only got a long field goal, but they're on the board. Some gutsy plays by the Hurricanes, but UF's defense actually looked pretty solid. Especially when compared to last year
