Florida's secondary went into the season opener against Hawaii hoping to prove it was better than the unit that finished No. 98 in the nation in pass defense last year. It's still too early to tell how good the group is, but outscoring the Warriors and quarterback Tim Tebow isn't a bad start.
The idea that UF would put up eight touchdowns against Hawaii wasn't all that far-fetched, but doing so while quarterback Tim Tebow scored just once didn't seem quite right.
The Gators played a nearly flawless game on Saturday, but if there was one flaw to be found, it was in those tiny yellow flags that flew all around the stadium.
It looked like a punt that wouldn't be returned, bouncing twice on the grass.
With two days until their first game against Hawaii, the Gators solidified their kicker position and narrowed down the starting defensive tackle candidates.
Since Hawaii is so far away, we here at alligatorSports figured we should get a better sense of the culture there.
Forget the run-and-shoot offense.
Here's a scary thought: Tim Tebow can get better.
What had long been suspected was confirmed after the Gators practice Wednesday: Wide receiver Percy Harvin and linebacker Brandon Spikes will not play in the season-opener against Hawaii on Saturday.
You could say Ryan Stamper is ready for his close-up.
Urban Meyer must be getting awfully tired of answering questions about injuries.
There's a certain point when a talented prospect becomes a great player. It's the point where athletic ability meets experience.
Mon Williams is a forgotten man.
This summer, Urban Meyer walked by Emmanuel Moody in the weight room and succinctly told him, "Boy, I hope you're really good."
The injury bug has been particularly attracted to UF this off-season.
ESPN and the Southeastern Conference have agreed to the longest-running contract in the network's history to gain rights to the SEC's football and men's and women's basketball games.
Despite sporting a collection of highly touted recruits it would be an understatement to say the Gators defense struggled last season.
Plenty of attention is paid to UF's playmakers at skill positions, but the quarterback, running backs and receivers are not what make the Gators offense go.
You could call it the Kestahn Moore show.
