Game Four: Ole Miss @ Florida

by mlmintampa on Sep 27, 2008 9:17 AM EDT in Football

Firmly in the thicket of SEC play, today's game offers UF a chance to start breaking open their playbook and letting some imagination creep in. Urban Meyer made the point this week how much the clock rules prevent an offense from building momentum. But it also ties into play calling. If Dan Mullen only gets 24 plays in the first half, as they did at Tennessee, can you really take chances? Can you see if Emmanuel Moody is able to handle some of Tebow's carries?

Last week, Moody did get nine carries, three less than Tebow, so the Gators are moving towards trusting the transfer. While he will not be the bulldozer Tebow is in short yardage, a still shaky o-line leaves Tebow open to more punishment. It makes sense to let Moody be the inside man until the line gets solid.

It is hard looking at UF's offensive numbers and coming to any sort of conclusion. But, including the last quarter of the Miami game, the Gators have now scored 40 offensive points in their last five quarters. So, the question leading into today's game; is 8 points a quarter good enough?

first half

Very sloppy and not much fight on the o-line. UF however is right on their 8 pts per quarter average.

Come on Tebow!!!!

Remember when we were kids and we mixed sodas together and called them "suicides"? It was OK though, because Dr. Pepper was always there.

HELL YEAH!!!

Tie game. Obviously the offense still not running anywhere near 100 percent.

Tebow has negative rushing yards, correct?

I dont get the game here this week.

Man that was a scary one. That 4th and 1 was huge.

Although now you have to watch Raycom Sports, which is like stabbing your eyes and ears out with broken pencils.

Click on Video Quality.

I would imagine either 100k or 300k would be low enough.

Hey mlmintampa:

Did that just happen?

by Slica on Sep 27, 2008 3:35 PM EDT 0 recs

Yes, unfortunately.

Major didn’t cover the receiver when he passed the corner.

So... tonight, we are rooting for UGA right?

We play them, but not Bama, so it would help our schedule. Unfortunately, it has to be a close game, or it will make us look weak. I do not want another Big 12 team in the Top 10, or have Penn State higher than #7.

Rely on defense to get the ball back?

Or go for the onside kick?

That's odd. My dad is in Texas.

He said it was working, and I’m assuming that the AF wouldn’t give him broadband…
