Gators show grit, promise in defeat: This Florida team does not quit and showed plenty to be excited about for the future. I love that Jim McElwain greeted each player one by one as they left the field Saturday night to offer words of encouragement. (Scott Carter, GatorZone; Robbie Andreu, Gainesville Sun; Edgar Thompson, Orlando Sentinel)

Florida still in driver's seat for SEC East: After the bye week the Gators will face Georgia in what figures to be a defacto SEC East championship game. (Jesse Simonton, Miami Herald)

Jake McGee "clutch" for Gators: This article was written prior to the LSU game but holds quite true after it as well. I also enjoyed Kelvin Taylor trying to call McGee a security blanket and calling him a "great blanket to sleep on".  I also did not realize that McGee used to play quarterback and safety in high school.
