Winning cures everything.

The Florida football team's second half rally to beat Texas A&M 20-17 caused the teacher to change many of the grades from halftime. Not every group was positive, and at least one may need to stay after class over the next week for some extra tutoring.

Still, the Gators are 2-0 and that's all that really matters, as second-year UF coach Will Muschamp pointed out after the game.

Extra credit goes to Mike Gillislee for being Mike Gillislee as well as to the Gators linebackers, who stepped up in a major way in the wake of Jelani Jenkins injury. The group, as always, was led by Jon Bostic. Other than dropping a sure interception, he turned in one of the most crucial performances of his career by proving it can be just as importing to be a team leader as it is to lead the team in tackles. Bostic didn't do the latter, at least not this week, but he came through after his co-leader — Jenkins — went down.
