Salary could be better spent

In light of the fact that funding for many UF departments is being cut to the bone, UF professors are underpaid and overworked, state funding for higher education is being cut every year and our economy is, by many estimates, on the verge of entering a recession, isn't it good to know that we here at UF have one of the highest-paid university presidents in the country?

Hold that thought…

If you're keeping track at home, yes, FAU has really just scored 10 unanswered points.

Halftime: UF 35 FAU 20

After trailing 21-0 early on, FAU came storming back to make it just an 15-point deficit at the half. The Gators lead 35-20 after a Tim Tebow 26-yard pass to Cornelius Ingram with just 14 seconds left in the half.

Forget the comeback, UF 49-20

In less than 10 minutes of play, the Gators have driven for two touchdowns and now lead 49-20. Kestahn Moore ran in his second score of the day to make it 42-20 and then Tim Tebow completed a pass to tight end Aaron Hernandez, who wrested it away from a FAU defender, to make it 49-20. Hernandez has three catches 58 yards on the day. The freshman has really stepped it up and living up to the hype of coming in as the nation's highest ranked tight end.

Hornsby still MIA

Safety Jamar Hornsby, who has been absent from practice and games the past few weeks, is still out today. He wasn't on the pregame dress roster and doesn't appear to be on the field. Urban Meyer said he should be back Monday.

And the rout is on…

Surprise Surprise. The Gators lead 21-0 after the first quarter. Perhaps the biggest surprise is that Tim Tebow has been a part of only one of them. Tebow's still been great with only one incompletion. The Gators have scored on a 9-yard Kestahn Moore run, a blocked punt and returned by Markus Manson and a Tebow throw to tight end Cornelius Ingram. The most exciting play of the half was a shovel off to backup tight end Aaron Hernandez, who rumbled for 29 yards. Urban Meyer has said Hernandez would get more involved and so far he's lived up to his words.

Can I get a Hoot Hoot?!

While there pregame atmosphere today is not nearly like any SEC game, there has been a few FAU supporters sprinkled here and there. The most entertaining so far has been a car driving by with "Go Owls" and "Hoot Hoot" on it. While it's very debatable if they'll still be prideful after the game, it's still about the best atmosphere on campus.
