Still Three Games Left
Gators defeat South Carolina 56-6.
Saturday's game had the sense of a coronation. Florida was not just winning the game, but proving they are the best team in America. The defense played well enough, again, and special teams created chances for UF (as did a 25-yard lateral). On a wet track, Florida ran all over South Carolina with 346 yards on the ground. When a team runs like that, no matter if it is a power or spread system (although Urban Meyer will argue that this is a power system), they will not lose. With Harvin, Rainey, Demps and Moody (in a special guest appearance in the second half) Florida cannot be stopped on the ground. They hit opponents with too many weapons.
But there are three games left and a lot can happen between now and then. There could be injuries, suspensions, or massive riots at the student union over a girl. Who knows what the next three weeks hold for the Florida Gators? If there is one negative to take away is that Tebow would miss Aaron Hernandez and Riley Cooper when they were open (Cooper spent half the game with his arms out, wondering where the ball was). He also wasn't leading guys like he should. But then he throws two gems to Thompson and Hernandez and you realize the kid has a cannon with the touch to drop one in.
But three weeks is an eternity. Florida will beat the Citadel next week, then get The School Out West. If Florida wins those two games, the SEC Championship is a National Semifinal with the winner going to the BCS title. But the same fire they have shown the last few weeks must continue. They cannot let up for one second.

Love the hidden shot at FSU.

Juggernaut.
The way they’re playing, there’s no one in the country that could beat them. Can they keep this edge, chemistry and focus throughout? I think so.

They just need to keep each game in focus
They can’t overlook anyone. The CItadel doesn’t scare anyone, but the ’Noles could have a chip on their shoulder to knock off the Gators before the ’Bama game.
And, I have said it before, as a die-hard Dolphins fan, please Gators, not just for the National Championship spot, please DESTROY SABAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As if we needed your pleading to do that.
EVERYONE hates Satan Saban.
