2009 FINAL #1 Florida Gators 56 vs.Troy Trojans 6

[The_Graygator]

Correction, Tebow tied Bo Jackson's career TD record with his last rushing TD. Carnel Williams has 46.

Herschel is sitting just 8 away at 53 TD's.

[jibmonk]

Whats up with the short kicks by Sturgis?

[Dreamliner]

Defense fooled badly on that run.

[Steelers]

What's with the 3-3 front?

[Dreamliner]

Then mauled on the next run.

[RealGatorFan]

Ok Harris making our defense look like FSU's.

[The_Graygator]

Harris is moving the ball ont he back-ups pretty good. Here comes Dunlap, Trattou, and Cunningham.

[orangebluegator]

We really need to drive ppl backwards...not let the offense fall forward. Where are those powerful DTs?

[Steelers]

Dunlap is a beast

[gatorskater]

i thought our 2nd string would be better? hmmm

[Gator_in_TX]

I hope DT is okay. Out WR depth is very thin.

[gatorskater]

yep...hope DT is doing better...dont need any nagging injuries going into the Tenn game.

[The_Graygator]

UF had Antwine and Howard and Hunter in when Harris was running well. Strong got tired of that and they stuff Troy on third down.

4th and short and they got a great spot on that too.

Gators recover a fumble!

Gator ball!

[Crono139]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Greatest turnover ever.

[Steelers]

The old Steelers play. Kordell Stewart re visited.

[Steelers]

bad pass. Redeem yourself Tebow.

[jibmonk]

UF had Antwine and Howard and Hunter in when Harris was running well. Strong got tired of that and they stuff Troy on third down.

4th and short and they got a great spot on that too.

Gators recover a fumble!

Gator ball!

Who did he put in to get the stop?

[The_Graygator]

O.k. now, that was just a bad play-call on that pass. It slipped out of Tebow's hand it's so slick.

We need to get back to the run now.

[The_Graygator]

Tebow!

[Crono139]

The almighty QB draw.

[Steelers]

Ok Tebow just steam rolled somebody. I take it back. Ouch.

[The_Graygator]

He's a mudder.

[themistocles]

i thought our 2nd string would be better? hmmm

There really is not a lot of dropoff anywhere when you go to the 2nd string.

Just because Troy had some success running the ball doesn't mean they are weak.

[sflgator05]

WOW, Tebow laid the wood on that one

[Steelers]

Demps is sick!

[Crono139]

Beautiful run by Demps.

[boatdrinks]

Anybody at the game see Deonte? Is he ok?

[Gator_in_TX]

Time for the 2nd team!!

[gatorskater]

is this our 2nd string OL?

[Steelers]

Cooper is a fullback playing wr. lol

[G8rNkoko]

Coop blocking again

[orangebluegator]

Damn..if I were a NFL gm...I'm preparing Riley's contract right now.

[Dreamliner]

Are we going to have to name Riley Riley F****** Cooper (RFC) ?

[gatorskater]

great run by Demps.

[sflgator05]

Demps looked a bit like Percy running around that corner

[Steelers]

Has Riley Cooper been hanging out with Hines Ward or something? He made a great block.

[jibmonk]

Cooper is so valuable to this team. Can't believe he was so close to leaving us.

[orangebluegator]

Damn was that Moses dancing after that nice hit?

[The_Graygator]

35-3 UF now.

Troy gets hit at the 20 and now the refs have to come in and throw a mercy call flag for excessive celebration. What a b*llshit call.

Anyway, the Gator D has held Troy to 63 yards on 32 plays so far.

[NOTgaGATORanymore]

I don't know who #36 is but he should get his @$$ chewed for show boating like that!

[InfinityGTR]

what BS penalty. Do the refs have no sence?

[gatorskater]

2nd string in....cmon D..

[jibmonk]

He shouldn't have gotten called for that. Not really that much showboating there come on!

[Steelers]

wow nice punt

[themistocles]

If Moses Jenkins is playing, that is 3rd string.

[Crono139]

Time for a 99.5 yard TD drive.

[orangebluegator]

Wow....they've been doing a good job with punts. If I were our future opponent..I would aim to punt it about 15 yards in front of James and let it roll rather than punt high in the sky.

[Steelers]

Come on Gators. 99-1/2 yard drive right here.

[The_Graygator]

I'm getting tired of these refs now.

They're starting to call BS in this game. Where was the illegal motion on that 1st down play?

[gatorskater]

is brantley in?

[gatorskater]

ok last TT drive..cmon gators...lets get a 2 min drive in here...

[Steelers]

horsecollar. Wheres the flag?

[The_Graygator]

Tebow is mudding now.

First down Gators.

17 more yards to James.

1:07 left.

[jibmonk]

Now is the perfect time to try our Banzai offense.

[gatorskater]

lets hit one deep now gators....

[orangebluegator]

Did Coop lose his footing, because he went headlong into the defender rather than going around.

[gatorskater]

one big play gators...

[Steelers]

Do we let the Starters play the 3rd. qtr? At some point you have to take their conditioning into consideration. They will have to be ready for 4 quarters vs. Tenn.

[The_Graygator]

345 yards of Gator O in the first half, now add 15 more with Cooper's catch,

[gatorskater]

ok...time for Tim to get this into the end zone..here..

[Steelers]

Bad judgement by Tebow. He should of threw it away.

[Crono139]

Slow ass refs.

[gatornana]

Dang...was a great drive.

[gatorskater]

360 yd of offense with 4 fumbles....not bad..

[The_Graygator]

365 yards of offense, 35 points by the Gator offense in the first half.

The Gator D has allowed less than 70 by Troy I think.

[Dreamliner]

I say given the shaky start, pedal-to-the-metal through the third quarter, then give way to the scrubs.

[Steelers]

Fresno St. is taking it to Wisconsin on the road.

[sflgator05]

I would keep our offense in for part of the 3rd just to get more practice. I know it's taking a chance but I think it's worth it.

[themistocles]

Well, the offense certainly played poorly in that 1st half. Only 365 Net Yards.

[InfinityGTR]

you gotta love how pissed Tebow was for not getting any points in the final drive :P But great half considering the fumbles and the weather. I'm REALLY impressed by our D.

[ufstang08]

so does anyone have any type of update on DT? Or has anyone seen where he might have pulled up limping cause he looked fine running into the endzone?

[Steelers]

I say given the shaky start, pedal-to-the-metal through the third quarter, then give way to the scrubs.

That's exactly what I say. They still need to get the chemistry and conditioning down. Get the players some time to gel and let Brantley and crew take over the 4th. qtr.

[themistocles]

Do we let the Starters play the 3rd. qtr? At some point you have to take their conditioning into consideration. They will have to be ready for 4 quarters vs. Tenn.

The Gators always substitute regularly because of the depth at every position except TE.

Even when they are in the best shape, you can only expect any given player to perform at a top level for perhaps 35 to 40 plays in any game at the most.

All starters are quite experienced and physically mature. There is no need to concern yourself about the 4th quarter. The ruggedness of the Gator drills makes them tougher than other teams. That is why they destroyed both Alabama and Oklahoma in the 4th quarters of their games last year.

[Rawpimple]

My first half observations:

1) Janoris Jenkins is all over the field. Dude is a player.

2) Riley Cooper is having another great game. Just doing everything you ask of him and more. Love his intensity. The key with him besides staying healthy is being a BIG part of this team against the big boys now. Keep up this level against the big boys!

3) Our RBs with Demps and Rainey and OL are very good. I am pissed Moody cant hold onto the ball because I believe he is the perfect back to mix in.

4) I am deeply concerned about our playmakers on offense particularly at the WR position. We are not deep at WR nor do we have the go to #1 guy. It will take a complete team effort on O to make up for the loss of Percy and Murphy. I would really love to see some of the younger WRs step in and play a role.

5) Our D is damn good. You can see the talent all over the field. They will pull out a game or 2 this year for us when our O is not on its game.

[The_Graygator]

From the way they're talking during the halftime show on the radio, they starters will play most of the third quarter.

We've woken up and played well, but now it's about finishing the game with intensity and blood-thirsty vengeance IMO.

We have 'em down, now put a foot on their throats and stamp down real hard.

[The_Graygator]

Well, the offense certainly played poorly in that 1st half. Only 365 Net Yards.



LOL!

Good one, THEM. :wink:

[Dreamliner]

With emphasis on the 'real hard.'

[HALLGATOR]

I was telling my son that Tebow reminds me of the running backs from older times like Riggins and Csonka. Just loves to go in there and smash somebody and come out all bloody.

[The_Graygator]

UFSTANG, I haven't heard anything on the radio yet about DT. Still hoping it was just bad cramps.

[orangebluegator]

My observations:

I like the new Gator Nation commercial. Very classy.

I am not happy with our special teams thus far. Especially the short kickoffs. Is it the rain that prevents Sturgis from a full run before the kick? Is it coach's orders to keep it in play? Does he just not have the leg to consistently place it at or in the endzone?

[Dreamliner]

I was telling my son that Tebow reminds me of the running backs from older times like Riggins and Csonka. Just loves to go in there and smash somebody and come out all bloody.

And I'll bet Tebow could take both in the Circle-of-Life, maybe even at the same time.

[The_Graygator]

Troy QB? Only 18 yards passing.

Harris has 38 rushing yards.

[Rawpimple]

Our offense is going to have to run teams into the ground with our OL and quick backs. Come second half that is when I expect Tebow and the O to put up more points. It has to be tough as a defense to go up against our O-line and quick backs for an entire game.

If we are to go undefeated our defense will be key. Our O will struggle at times. We just dont have the WR or the depth at WR to throw it all over teams. It is our D and special teams that our undefeated season rests on. They need to bring it every week during the SEC season. We definitely have the talent on D to do it.

[The_Graygator]

Now, lets run the ball at these guys some and mix it up well.

[The_Graygator]

Coop is just a pure load for anyone to take on.

[orangebluegator]

I'm curious to see if we go under center this game.

[The_Graygator]

Coop has tied his career high for receptions in a game with that last catch.

Per Babik: DT had a bad cramp in the hammy but is o.k. but will be held out the rest of the game.

[TheRaid]

DT out for game with cramp. Not a Hammy pull.

[Steelers]

Heads up play by Pouncy

[The_Graygator]

Heads up Pouncey!

[Crono139]

Good job, Pouncey. Nice save.

[sflgator05]

DT out for game with cramp. Not a Hammy pull.

That's great news on Deonte
Good job Mike

[Steelers]

If this is a catch this is the greatest catch by James.

[G8rNkoko]

BJ for 6

[The_Graygator]

TD by James!

Boy can catch! And had the defender all over him too.

[Gator_in_TX]

Wow, nice throw and even nicer catch by James!

[sflgator05]

Did James really just catch that?

[greater_gator]

MY THOUGHTS.

Glad the internet allowed me to watch this game...shaky start, bad weather gummin up the works....but our superiority on all fronts became evident by the second quarter. TT lead the charge, as he should, and the team followed. Defense is what I expect it to be. I would like to see some more pressure on the QB, but as someone mentioned im guessing we are holding back our more advanced packages for next weaks slaughter.

Im very concerned with DT injury...2 TD catches after bad start, i hope hes ok for next week cuz u can tell Tebow and the team has confidence in him ( and so do i). Cooper is a legit #1 WR now we need another one to step up.

I hope our straters get 1 or 2 more series, then turn it over to the newbies to get some quality reps ...get moo the ball, everyone is fumbling it, lets not kill the guy just yet...

[deviation]

Move over Crompton.. ROFL

[Dreamliner]

You could tell that Brandon James had the reach on that DB. How are you going to defend a 6-5 guy ?

Oh right, 5-6.

[orangebluegator]

Meyer wasn't kidding about using BJ more on the offensive side of the ball. did he line up in the slot there?

[Rawpimple]

Beautiful throw by Tebow and catch by James.

I have seen enough of Tebow. He is a player. Lets give him some rest and not taking anymore hits.

[Steelers]

I want to see the running game now. Let's smash some people in the mouth.

[HALLGATOR]

Yeah, he's a good player but he can't throw the ball. He's just a glorified fullback.:roll:

[sflgator05]

I think Moody will be back in the fourth. He was carrying the ball close to his body but they guy came from the back. I don't think you can blame him for the fumble

[Rawpimple]

Id really like to see our younger WRs now and Brantley. We need these younger guys to get some PT.

[greater_gator]

im obviously on at least a 10 min delay !!!! great grab by James ! WOW, glad to see that...but even happier to hear DT is only cramping ! GO GATORS!!!

[The_Graygator]

Finally, the refs call something on Troy.

Troy catches Gators on a base zone D for 7 yards.

[greater_gator]

thats enough of Sup....get brantey in, unleash moody and lets go find some WR depth.

[The_Graygator]

GREATER GATOR, DT has a cramp in his hammy but is o.k., but will be held out the rest of the game.

[The_Graygator]

And ANOTHER three and out by the Gator D.

COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!

[Steelers]

Whers the taunting call?

[orangebluegator]

We gotta do something about the helmet sizes or helmet straps. I've noticed a trend of lids popping off.

[The_Graygator]

Hines!

Gators still moving the ball well.

[sflgator05]

Love to see our starting QB throwing to backup Wrs

[Steelers]

tt time

[The_Graygator]

Today's forecast: Rainey conditions. 9 yards Rainey.

Rainey again to the 1 foot line!

Look at Rainey's power.

Let Rainey have this one.

[Dreamliner]

It's good to be Chris Rainey!

[sflgator05]

Give it to Rainey, he's earned it

[G8rNkoko]

Two good run for Rainey

[Steelers]

bring in moody

[The_Graygator]

Flag, now what?

Personal foul on Troy, first down.

Let Rainey have this one IMO.

[The_Graygator]

Gators with 485 yards offense so far.

Come on Addazio, let's power run this ball into the endzone.

[Crono139]

Good.

Rainey deserved that one.

[The_Graygator]

It's RAINING TD's today! :wink:

[G8rNkoko]

It's Raining on Troy.

[Steelers]

I think Meyer just told Tebow he's pulling him.

[sflgator05]

Good job Rainey, he definitley put in the work on that drive

[themistocles]

GHEEZ.

Rainey's Yards Per Carry is now all the way down to 18.1.

HORRORS!

[Steelers]

That Nike commercial with Peterson is sick

[HALLGATOR]

And I'll bet Tebow could take both in the Circle-of-Life, maybe even at the same time.

I would pay good money to see it with all of them in their prime.

[Dreamliner]

Do not like the kick coverage.

[The_Graygator]

Gators with 249 yards rushing.

485 total yards for UF.

80 total yards for Troy.

49 - 3 UF with 8:28 left in the 3rd.

Loving this fast-break offense.

Dunlap gets the sack.

[themistocles]

Did you notice that Sturgis kicked the extra point.

[greater_gator]

Good job rainey !! nice power run early in the drive. We gotta get this guy more involved...we havent seen demps or rainey catch out of the backfield....saving it for Lame??

Tebow has to sit now (im just so afraid of losing him in a senseless way) let brantley loose

[The_Graygator]

ANOTHER three and out for UF. Punt #7 for Troy.

[Dreamliner]

Midway throught the third quarter and Troy has 75 yards, nearly half of it on that one field goal drive of theirs.

[Crono139]

Brantley is in.

Awesome.

[TheRaid]

BS call

[The_Graygator]

And the refs are going to call this one back.

There was no hold on that return.

Now they've called us for a personal foul.

They let a Troy player get away with shoing Spikes after the play a few minutes ago but now this?

You gotta be kidding me.

There's no consistency with these idiots.

[themistocles]

Midway throught the third quarter and Troy has 75 yards, nearly half of it on that one field goal drive of theirs.

Hey Dream - CBS Sportsline has them with 91 net yards.

Where did that 75 come from?

http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/gamecenter/teamstats/NCAAF_20090912_TROY@FL

[jibmonk]

James got robbed on that one. Ridiculous.

[Dreamliner]

Brantley looked SLOW on that play.

[Dreamliner]

Fizzling now.

[The_Graygator]

Brantley made a good decision not to force that ball and take the loss.

But I don't like just putting the ball back in Troy's hand after a third and out.

Call me blood thirsty, but that's how I feel.

I freakin' PO'ed they called that james punt return back.

That was utter B*LLSHIT.

Just what I was afraid of here. But then I want to score at least 63 just to worry Tennessee fans.

[The_Graygator]

Pouncey had a cramp when he came out too per Babik.

I want a Gator D TD now.

[The_Graygator]

Big #99 Omar Hunter in there now.

[The_Graygator]

Sh*t!

I don't want these guys to get a TD, even against our scrubs.

[The_Graygator]

Anderson with the sack on the outside blitz.

[The_Graygator]

Willie!

[G8rNkoko]

Antwine is in also

[The_Graygator]

3rd and 18 for Troy at the Gator 25.

Incomplete.

Do they go for it? Nope, going for the FG.

Good.

49-6 Gators.

[themistocles]

A Blitz - man, I didn't expect to see that. Of course, this was a bit dangerous.

[sflgator05]

Rainey still in the game, does that mean Moody is not coming back

[The_Graygator]

I want Meyer to put Moody back in the game now and get some of that confidence back.

Meyer can lighten up now.

[GuyWhiteyCorngood]

Rainey seems like he's covered in AstroGlide

[el_lagarto]

thompson??

thanks for info.

[deviation]

Sh*t!

I don't want these guys to get a TD, even against our scrubs.

Come on, don't call them scrubs. They are tring to get an education just like everyone else.

[The_Graygator]

Good field position for Brantley to start with unless the refs want to startw ith the flags again.

I want two more Gator TD's in this game too.

501 UF total yards and 24 first downs v.s. Troy's 106 yards and 7 first downs.

[The_Graygator]

Thompson had a cramp guys. he's ok.

[oneatatime]

our second team defense could start for just about any team in america.

William Green aint no scrub

[greater_gator]

I want Meyer to put Moody back in the game now and get some of that confidence back.

Meyer can lighten up now.

I agree...we gotta get his confidence up. fumbling the balll can be very mental sometimes, and given the weather conditions I dont see why he would be benched for coughing it up. Let the coaching staff get behind moody once and for all, we will need a bigger stronger back to beat the better defenses of the SEC.

thats not a knock on rainey or demps, just reality.

[The_Graygator]

DEVIATION, it was a misplay on words during the heat of "Gator passion".

My bad. :wink:

[The_Graygator]

Rainey out and Gillislee in, and of course, the refs toss a flag. Substitution pnealty.

Looks like Moody is in the doghouse big-time, and personally, if they keep this up with Moody they're going to totally trash his confidence.

[TheRaid]

I hope the officials are not in Gainesville next week.

[The_Graygator]

Rainey back in now.

[deviation]

DEVIATION, it was a misplay on words during the heat of "Gator passion".

My bad. :wink:

lol, i know i was just giving you a hard time. Also about the Moody situation, i wonder if he would be a better fit next year with Brantley and the new offense or is he a senior now? I forget.

[The_Graygator]

We're going backwards now.

I want points here.

I don't want to go away from this with nothing.

How about a helmet to helmet flag on troy on that play too?

[The_Graygator]

Moody will be a senior next year DEVIATION.

[sflgator05]

better get those bad kicks out of the way before heading into our SEC schedule

[The_Graygator]

Missed FG, but a sure-shot kicker too. This just makes me mad.

We get all the way down there and get NOTHING. The #2's have got to be able to finish the damn job.

[themistocles]

Is this offense working behind an all Freshman line?

[Dreamliner]

Brantley not overwhelming so far this season.

He looked fast in the Orange and Blue Game.

[jibmonk]

Our special teams is becoming a problem.

[gatorskater]

Is this offense working behind an all Freshman line?

whatever it is we did not look good out there.

[themistocles]

Last year, Phillips made 12 of 13 FG attempts.

This year, he starts off 0-1.

Of course, FGs only matter in close games, but still, you don't want to miss many.

[oneatatime]

it's not just the kicker, they'll need to look at the snapper and holder.

Brantley is playing behind an all freshman OL. He'll be fine

[sflgator05]

It's clicking for Brantley, nice pass to Cade

[NOTgaGATORanymore]

Hines having a solid day

[jibmonk]

Brantley looks fine to me.

[The_Graygator]

Troy was offsides on that play, no flag again.

[The_Graygator]

UF has 603 yards of total offense so far.

Troy has 115.

Central Michigan just upset Mishigan State.

TD Gillislee!

[oneatatime]

a pass to a running back...I like it!!!

[jibmonk]

UF has 603 yards of total offense so far.

Troy has 115.

Central Michigan just upset Mishigan State.

TD Gillislee!

Whats up with all these Mich. teams. WMU SMU CMU? All playing these soft big ten teams tight today.

[The_Graygator]

It is too late for this nit-picking flag-throwing by the refs now. Oh, they call a personal on Troy on a PAT instead of on the field during a Gator drive when it would matter.

[Dumachum]

Central Michigan just upset Mishigan State.



O' shi...

[The_Graygator]

Omarius Hines should get the official "Step Up" award.

We have a us a gamer in Hines and I'm glad to see another WR weapon on this team.

[themistocles]

So, Cade Holliday is a walk-on Senior, and Brandon Frazier, a walk-on Jr.

[Spiff24]

awww, almost kicked into the stands = /

[The_Graygator]

Moses jenkins is really starting to turn into a reliable back-up for us IMO.

[Spiff24]

this production crew is slacking today... the mic not turned on earlier, now the trigger happy director cutting away from highlights early. the ticker was screwed up at the beginning of the game as well.. wtf?

[themistocles]

Who is playing on defense now?

[The_Graygator]

Lo Edwards!

[The_Graygator]

I see Anderson, Moses J., Edwards, Josh Evans so far.

[themistocles]

So, Josh Evans.

Has Finley played yet?

[The_Graygator]

Called us for block in the back but no facemack tackle on Hammond.

I've had it with these f-ing refs.

[G8rNkoko]

Flag on a punt return.......how novel.

[The_Graygator]

I'll have to look at the replay when the game is over to see everyone who was in.

[oneatatime]

I am not sure why edwards doesnt get more PT. he seems to be around the ball everytime he is in the game

[Spiff24]

wow... c'mon guys. enough flags already

[The_Graygator]

Well, the refs have already ruined this drive before the first play.

1st and 15 back to our 16 now.

[gatorskater]

can we get Mooody in pls? He needs a chance unless he is hurt or something.

[Gator_in_TX]

Where is Moody? They really should give him some reps.

[The_Graygator]

Hines is having a great day, especially on those roll out passes.

[G8rNkoko]

Hines doing a good job.

[The_Graygator]

Cade!

1st down UF at their own 39.

[G8rNkoko]

We are playing without a TE now

[The_Graygator]

109 yards passing for Brantley so far.

I wonder what kind of yards he'd have surrounded by the first string offense?

[The_Graygator]

Cade!

[The_Graygator]

Roughing the passer on Troy now.

Hoilliday 3 catches for 66 yards so far.

31 Gator first downs.

[NOTgaGATORanymore]

Yet another fumble

[The_Graygator]

Sh*t!

Well, so much for Gillislee ever playing again with that fumble.

I wanted one more score.

[themistocles]

wow... c'mon guys. enough flags already

You must realize Zpiff, that Leopards are almost always BLPs (Backward Looking People). As a result, they tend to be very Rule Bound.

Those of us who look at things relative to their context (the game is out of hand, lets get it over with and only call penalties that might cause injuries), have a difficult time understanding the thinking of BLPs.

[NOTgaGATORanymore]

Wow! SIX fumble! Lost 3 of them.

[Spiff24]

It might eb agood thing, getting the fumbles out of the way now. You know what Urban will be stressing to the players this week in practice!

[jibmonk]

Not a good ending for Gillislee with that fumble. One more score would have been nice.

[themistocles]

Wow, 3rd fumble.

Urban Meyer is not going to be a happy camper when he looks at game film.

[gatorskater]

I dont understand the 'getting out of the way' business. Is the weather so bad for us to struggle this much? UT will try to strip the ball a lot I guess.

[RealGatorFan]

Wow! SIX fumble! Lost 3 of them.

Equals all of the fumbles we had last year.

[The_Graygator]

Oh well, a good outing by the Gators after a slow first quarter, and then is was domination city by the Gators, but the wet conditions did make the ball hard to hold on to today.

VERY impressed by the Gator D today.

I think UF had around 650 yards of total yards of offense and held troy to less than 130.

The Gator D has yet to allow a TD yet this season.

Final:

UF - 56

Troy - 6

And it could have been a lot worse.

[Spiff24]

I dont understand the 'getting out of the way' business. Is the weather so bad for us to struggle this much? UT will try to strip the ball a lot I guess.

Because it's something that will be on the minds of players now. Meyer will make sure to hammer it through their heads this week leading up into SEC play that they can't do that against quality opponents.

I don't think weather is to blame for all those fumbles.

[deviation]

They better not fumble like this next week.

[gatorskater]

And it could have been a lot worse.

werd...we left 17-21 pts on the field today - 1 fumble in the RZ and 1 drive lost due to clock expiring at the half and the last one is a missed FG.

[GatorCrazy11]

I'm pleased, not trying to focus on the negatives. We obviously need to protect the ball and pull our heads out of our butts, but I thought our offense looked good once it got in rhythm and our defense played great today. Personally, I loved how Dustin Doe came out and made the first tackle on the opening kickoff. You've got to be pleased when you see someone in his position come out and establish his focus early on. He was like 3 inches from coming away with an INT on what seemed to be Troy's longest pass play of the game.

[Dumachum]

Good to get the fumbles out the teams system against Troy early in the season instead of them happening against Tennessee.

Fumbles lost the game vs Ole Miss last year.

[Spiff24]

What I saw today was a team that is focused and once they get going, is hard to stop.

Last year, they were sluggish and couldn't click. Things seem much different through the first two games and i'm very pleased. I'm expecting a very solid week of practice and for UF to be focused and ready for Kiffin and Co. to come to town.

Go Gators!

[The_Graygator]

Amazingly enough, we rout a competitive opponent in Troy (a LOT better than Western Kentucky), and all I read is complaining. Games aren't always going to be perfect guys.

There were wet, drizzling field conditions out there today and the ball was slippery for both teams.

I like that we had to play against some adversity and got challenged today. Troy has a pretty good spread offense, and we held them to 8 first downs and 139 total yards, 1 less than we held a talented Miami team to last year in Game #2.

UF had 663 total yards and 34 first downs today. We averaged 6 yards per carry in the run-game and just under 300 yards rushing. Our offense is very, very scary once it gets going. They look a lot like OU's last year.

The Gator O is averaging 59 ppg.

The Gator D is allowing only 4.5 ppg.

DE Jermaine Cunningham played an incredible game today.

AJ Jones was all over the field today too.

Tebow tied Bo Jackson's career TD rushing record at 45 rushing TD's.

Deonte Thompson shook off he dropsies and caught two great TD passes.

Omarius Hines has stepped up as a gamer for us to bolster WR depth.

Rainey looks to be an extremely dangerous threat for us after a year of experience and development.

We got out of this without any serious injuries.

And on top of all that, we played a bunch of reserves again and built on the depth we developed in the first game.

We needed this game and we did well.

As far as I'm concerned, bring on the Vols.

I have a lot of confidence that we can wear them down with our defense and depth.

[bluelang]

Where is Moody? They really should give him some reps.

on the bench, where he'll be for the rest of the season.

Yeah, but you were complaining too, Gray.

[The_Graygator]

Yeah, but you were complaining too, Gray.


I was complaining about some bad plays and a couple of BS calls, not basically talking about how much we "suck" or alleging it.

[HALLGATOR]

Just about everyone was complaining about the offense in the 1st quarter and rightfully so.

[JerseyGator01]

I'm just so glad the preseason is over. Troy looked downright awful.

[RayGator]

FINAL SCORE

Troy Trojans 6

Florida Gators 56

Attendance 90,349

:)

[TampaGatorFan]

Okay..."preseason" is over...time to get ready for Tennessee.

GO GATORS!!!!! CRUSH THE VOLS!!!!!

[HALLGATOR]

I thought they scheduled Tenn to take a breather after playing Troy.

[Strikepackagegator]

Bring on the kiffykins from UToothless!
