Column: Offensive ineptitude exposed on Saturday
By JOSH JURNOVOY | Nov. 12, 2012The Florida offense is focused on the little things.
The Florida offense is focused on the little things.
Sharrif Floyd couldn’t believe his eyes as the football fluttered in the air.
Kenny Boynton is not afraid of waves — or sea monsters, apparently. Florida is playing Georgetown on a boat tonight, and Boynton hasn’t even taken the buoyant surface of the Atlantic Ocean into account?
Florida football hasn’t done much growling in recent years.
We here at the alligatorSports Brand Picks Column usually make our picks each week without a second thought, exercising gusto, guts and a bit of bravado. However, we’ll all make picks come Tuesday that we’ve carefully considered, and we encourage you to do the same. That being said, the presidential race has featured plenty of mudslinging and with only 10 games separating first and last place in the Picks Standings, things are getting chippy amongst the pickers. We’re talking personal insults. Despite the bad blood boiling, we’re trying to run a clean race here. But hey, no promises!
The race for the Southeastern Conference Eastern Division is technically ongoing.
JACKSONVILLE — A heavy coat of makeup can mask even the worst blemishes.
The Gators have been playing with fire all season. They just haven’t been burned.
On Saturday, a football game played in Jacksonville will actually matter.
After a weekend of debauchery in Nashville, Tenn., the alligatorSports crew comes home to Gainesville. We’re worn out from country music and Coyote Ugly saloons, but we’re just as excited to see College GameDay on campus as everyone else is for one reason: Erin Andrews.
Dropped passes are the only thing keeping Jeff Driskel from making West Virginia’s Geno Smith green with envy.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Florida won again, and as usual it wasn’t pretty.
The alligatorSports crew will pile into the car today for a road trip to Nashville, Tenn., to watch Florida take on Vanderbilt. While we're on the road to the "Music City," what better way is there to pay homage to the county seat of Davidson County than by putting together a killer playlist for the ride? We could always crank up a little Elvis as we make detour to Graceland. Perhaps we'll all sit in stony silence as "Party in the U.S.A." plays on the radio while secretly freaking out in our minds. Nashville native Miley Cyrus is still hip, right? And then, who knows? We've been on the road at all hours of the night covering this beat like a bunch of "Ramblin' Men" and "Midnight Rider(s)," just like the Nashville-based Allman Brothers Band. There will be music, and there will be football. Nashville seems like a nice place.
To the naked eye, the Florida defense has been dominant this season.
On Wednesday night, living rooms across the country hosted two heavyweights fighting it out for supremacy. As expected, Barack Obama and Mitt Romney traded jabs and zingers, trying to win over as many voters as possible. But the real battle begins on Saturday.
Florida's matchup against LSU on Saturday naturally evokes memories of last season's 41-11 beatdown, but this isnít the same Tigers team.
On Thursday night, the NFL welcomed back referees who are actually qualified to officiate professional football games. What a concept!
Florida defeated Kentucky for the 26th straight time on Saturday. The last time the Wildcats beat the Gators, UF coach Will Muschamp was 15 years old.
After two weeks on the road, we here at alligatorSports will finally spend a weekend in Gainesville. But instead of catching up with school work and cleaning up the hell holes our rooms have become during our absence, we plan on getting wasted on whatever’s cheapest and introducing ourselves by our column names to numerous unimpressed females at Midtown.
Only one thing is keeping coach Will Muschamp from fully establishing Florida as a team known for toughness and physicality: his foolish, stubborn insistence on trick plays.
