2009 FINAL #1 Florida Gators 41 at Kentucky Wildcats 7

[gatorskater]

too bad James cannot get a chance to return...:)

[orlandogator]

No, if you sit tebow the whole team might go lax. you keep it on the pedal till you get 60.

[bluelang]

that guy's punts are hanging forever.

[HALLGATOR]

I would sit Tim right now, and let Brantley get a chance to play some.

I believe it's too early for that.

[RealGatorFan]

Rich Brooks looks like his head is going to explode.

He knows you don't play like that and expect to beat the #1 team. He's probably thinks his team couldn't beat Duke right now.

[tilly]

The crowd shots are classic....

[Speedofsand]

Mick just said the Gators have 221 yds, UK has 15

[tilly]

cooper was not expecting the throw his way....

[The_Graygator]

Figured we'd go deep on that first down play.

[gatorskater]

ok...lets gets a first down here...

[swg8trgr8]

rainey with a nice block!!!!!!

[rjGator]

1st down scramble.

[operamac]

nice play tebow...

you see how the DB wanted NOTHING to do with going up to hit Tebow! LOL

[tilly]

Tebows best performance this year by far....

[gatorskater]

can we just hand the ball off to our gazillion RBs? Why is TT running so much..? option keepers?

[tilly]

I think the UK defense is afraid the Pouncy's might puke on them....

[rjGator]

4th dn.

[RealGatorFan]

Rainey had the 1st down he got too fancy.

[TheRaid]

You can't dance on third down. You got to get the first down.

[orlandogator]

hehad that. should have just ran straight.

[GatorMrs_Esq]

Why was the Kentucky D backing off from Tebow on that scramble? Are they that afraid of a head-on collision with him? LOL.

[orangebluegator]

Tebow under center...we need rainey to fall forward.

[operamac]

RAINEY!!! you had it!! just put the shoulder down and take the first down...

oh well... if that's the FIRST thing you've done wrong all day... you're good!!! LOL

[gatorskater]

why not Moody....for 3rd and short..

[Judoka]

Aww Rainey, you don't run backwards! If he had put his head down and powered forward he might have gotten the first down.

[NOTgaGATORanymore]

I wish they would give Moody a shot at 3rd and short if they don't let Tim run it.

[tilly]

"Chaz Henry is like the Amana repair man...you hardly see him." (Its Maytag but that is still funny)

[gagator3]

Tebow under center! wondering when we would see this

[The_Graygator]

Henry shanked that one.

But if we're fortunate get up by another score, we need to put Brantley in and let him finish the game.

Let Tebow rest, and I'd like to watch Brantley behind the #1 OL for once.

[operamac]

Tebow is running because he sees it as the right play at the time...

he read a something that said keep it... and a couple of those weren't designed runs... he just ran it when the pass wasn't there.

quit complaining about it... it's not gonna change, because that's the type of player he is...

[TheRaid]

Moody and Tebow on 3rd and short SHOULD be a scarry thing for Defenses.

[orangebluegator]

TT is keeping it mostly on plays with nothing down field and option reads that were perfect....I'm sad we had to punt it though. Chaz probably shanked it because he didn't expect to be used today.

[operamac]

HEY! UK finally got a first down! LOL

[Judoka]

And there's the Cat's first first down. The D is starting to play a little looser. I guess it's to be expected after a 31 point quarter.

[tilly]

@ Florida State? Um ESPN, Thats in Gainesville...

[RealGatorFan]

Defense letting them get back some of their crowd.

[TheRaid]

Time to stop messing around on D. Let's get hungry for a shutdown shutout.

[The_Graygator]

C'mon Gator D.

I want 60 minutes of domination.

Flag.

Hold on UK?

[TheRaid]

This started with a lousy punt.

[The_Graygator]

Time for a UK turnover.

[raquetclub]

we need to not let up one bit

[tilly]

I like Rich Brooks....but the man may not survive the night.

[operamac]

LOL at Raid... I think it would be amusing to watch you watch the game...

[gatorskater]

guess the D might not get a shutout...if we cant prevent the FG here..

[gatorskater]

crap..another first down..

[TheRaid]

C'mon Spikes. Two weeks in a row.

[RealGatorFan]

There goes the shutout.

[The_Graygator]

A missed tackle kept that drive alive.

Now the D is getting sloppy with the big lead.

Got to play every play guys.

[Judoka]

I didn't see who it was, but someone had the tackle for a loss but missed it. I guess it's time to just let them dink it down the field to eat up some clock? It looks like the D is just playing prevent now.

[operamac]

the offensive linemen told the D they needed a break. ;-)

[TheRaid]

LOL at Raid... I think it would be amusing to watch you watch the game...

Nah. Just sitting here. Not much to see. Posts are posts without context except what you bring with your imagination. I am not emotional at all. Seriously.

[tilly]

The lost helmet tally continues to rise....

[RealGatorFan]

I never expect a shutout even if we played a high school team. When have we shut out an SEC team?

[TheRaid]

Wow. Slapped the facemask right in front of the official and no flag. Wow.

[RealGatorFan]

UK's offensive guy threw a punch and no call????

[tilly]

#72 just punched our guy right in the face????

[GatorFanCF]

How did they not call that swipe at the face after the 3rd down run? Anyone else see it?

[NOTgaGATORanymore]

Moral victory....UK

[tilly]

How does the ref not call that PF????

[aavgator]

wow good call

[gatorskater]

this is ugly prevent D from Strong...I have never liked it..

[rjGator]

31-7 UF.

[operamac]

ok Gators... 2:44 to run down and take the winds out of their sails! Let's DO IT!!!

[Judoka]

I can't be too upset, but they lost their focus on that drive. That was a very good call; the defensive backs really blew it on that play.

[The_Graygator]

I hate giving up big chunks of yardage on third downs like that.

Come on Gators.

That was a sloppy bunch of tackling by UF on that series.

Get a lead and go to sleep.

Sloppy, and a missed tackle on a fourth down kept this drive alive.

[RealGatorFan]

Time for a James TD............

[raquetclub]

I think I may be crazy, the fact that they just scored after we passed up a 4th and 1 makes me very angry, lol

[gatorskater]

very frustrating drive for the UF D..gives UK hope ...

[RealGatorFan]

And this game is far from over. No way we see Tim sit at least until the 4th.

[operamac]

yeah... the slap to the face... and there was a missed hit out of bounds on Brandon James when the guy body slammed him!

[The_Graygator]

Now, the thing is to watch for the onsides kick.

Secondly, when we get the ball back, go at them mixing it up and don't try to get fancy and get that TD back.

Just play our game and keep moving the ball.

[HALLGATOR]

D lost some of their edge.

[TheRaid]

No excuse to lose your focus. They talked all off season about being a dominant D. That drive looked like Tennessee's TD drive last week. Basically a lost focuse oh well ho hum defensive effort. Championship level play and dominance and yada yada yada is not congruent with those type of drives.

It kills momentum and keeps the offense off the field.

Maybe the D wanted to play more plays. heh.

[GatorBen]

Just as a score update Ohio is up on Tennessee 14-7 halfway through the first quarter.

[orangebluegator]

Not happy about letting them drive it like that after forcing a bunch of 3 and outs.

It's a bit harder when UK isn't shooting themselves in the foot and going backwards.

[deviation]

Its the Gators run defense that is lacking. They really need to improve in that area if they want to beat alabama.

[RealGatorFan]

UK looking fired up.

[deviation]

Real funny that the vols are losing to Ohio.

[Judoka]

The Cats are getting a little too excited. They need to at least run the clock out here.

[themistocles]

A good sign for Kentucky, looking ahead to the SEC season.

[operamac]

NIce run Demps!

[NOTgaGATORanymore]

Demps!!!!

[raquetclub]

http://i38.tinypic.com/wco10k.gif

[rjGator]

ha.

[operamac]

WOW!!! that was awesome!!! go COOP!!! LOL

[Judoka]

That ball must have slipped out of his hand. Holy crap, what a catch.

[gatorskater]

our offense get the momentum back before the half. We dont want UK to stay in this game..

[RealGatorFan]

Whew!!!

[operamac]

coop looked frustrated after that pass...

[gatorskater]

ok..lets go gators....we can seal this one up with anotehr score or two.

[TheRaid]

We need some receivers who can get open.

[Judoka]

Coverage sack. Not good.

[RealGatorFan]

Receivers suck if they can't get open.

[operamac]

good coverage I guess... I hope.

[rjGator]

4th dn.

[NOTgaGATORanymore]

Gator O is a little sporadic right now.

[tilly]

Looks like Ohio has a great O. They have hung 14 on Tennessee early...LOL!

[gatorskater]

frustrating offensive series....again..

[The_Graygator]

This is what I was talking about being too greedy guys.

Horrible play-calling by Addazio.

I seemed to start out good with the 18 yard Demps run and then this crap.

C'mon coachs, don't start this crap now.

You have these guys down, don't let them back in it.

[operamac]

LOL at Tilly!

what's the score?

[RealGatorFan]

This game is far from over. UK gets the ball back in the 3rd and they have over a minute here too.

[orlandogator]

no receivers at all. noone gets open.

[GatorBen]

LOL at Tilly!

what's the score?

14-7 Ohio

[orlandogator]

ohio is leading tennessee. damn

[Judoka]

We need a turnover here. Something to spark the team again. They've lost focus because of the lightning fast start.

[operamac]

LOL guess we WERE their superbowl!

[deviation]

Man we need Luc, Hicks and Floyd to commit so we can have something that looks like a run defense.

[operamac]

should have been another holding call!

[The_Graygator]

HOLDING on Cunningham!

There's the flag.

[TheRaid]

Penalty fest

[NOTgaGATORanymore]

I saw holding again...no call?

[operamac]

good... they got it!

[GatorBen]

ohio is leading tennessee. damn

Not morally, Tennessee is in line for another big moral victory.

[Judoka]

And another holding penalty. That should end the half; I don't think the Cats can drive the length of the field in 29 seconds.

[NOTgaGATORanymore]

Yes they called it

[The_Graygator]

Done-that-Dunlap!

Big hit!

[Judoka]

Time out? Urban wants another shot at the end zone before the half. I like it.

[operamac]

LOL Meyer calling timeout! let's make them play it out and see if we can get some cheap points!

[aavgator]

Not morally, Tennessee is in line for another big moral victory.

MVNC :yes:(moral victory national champs)

[Speedofsand]

2nd qtr scoring is UK 7 UF 0

[The_Graygator]

We're going to go for a block on this.

Good time management by the staff on this defensive series.

[operamac]

LMAO at AAVgator! VERY FUNNY!

[operamac]

that's a nice punt.

[rjGator]

Halftime.

31-7 UF.

[Judoka]

Almost got there on the punt block. Better D that drive. Now they need to come out after the half breathing fire and get this over with!

[RealGatorFan]

UK won the 2nd and I think that keeps Tim in the game.

[NOTgaGATORanymore]

Good half. I'm not worried about the UK drive or the lack of open receivers. We are up by 24 and I am happy considering the health of the team.

[gatorskater]

not a good 2nd Q for the gators...

[operamac]

man I love our Punt block formations and schemes!!!

[Judoka]

Alabama is going to win the West. They absolutely embarrassed the Hogs today.

[Gatorguy]

Explosive 1st quarter, but no scoring in the 2nd. Still, a fine first half offensively, especially with the whole illness issue. I just hope they don't let up in the second half and just cruise. Not the time for that yet.

[The_Graygator]

Wounded Gator team with some injuries and fighting the flu, but it's 31 - 7 UF at the half on the road.

Not happy with that last offensive drive we had. We got greedy and tried to force the pass too much, trying to go deep too much. You can tell Tebow isn't 100% when he's trying to pass. We need to go back to the RB's more.

Defensively, very good, but we gave up a 4th down conversion to keep their lone TD drive alive on a missed tackle, and we missed about five tackles on that drive too.

[deviation]

Whats with no points in the 2nd qtr...

[operamac]

if someone said... "Some of your best players will be sick, your top LB is a bit injured, your only real playmaker receiver is still too injured to get on the field, and you're playing on the road in the SEC," I wouldn't have expected this dominating a first half at all even if it is UK.

Yeah we looked sloppy in the 2nd Quarter.. but all things considered... I'll take it with a BIG smile on my face.

[The_Graygator]

I agree OPERAMAC.

[HALLGATOR]

Some of you are the most Jekyll and Hyde people I've ever seen. Get a grip, we totally dominated them in the first half.

[InfinityGTR]

I don't get why people are pissed off about the 2nd quarter... We had the ball a grand total of two times, and moved it efficiently. We just didn't execute at times. I don't get why you guys are complaining, when we are totally destroying UK right now.

[bionicgator]

Kentucky's players and fans are so excited to be within 24 of the Gators. Maybe by the end of the game they too (like UT) can claim a moral victory.

Overall, I'm happy the way we are playing. Wonder how soon in the second half we are going to see Brantley??

[Gators15]

Whoa, 20 pages already too much for me to catch up! lol

Couldn't acquire any better than our first quarter though not that great in the second quarter... still a great first half. K took lot of minutes in the 2nd qtr though... expected them to come back bit.

Will Tebow have cance to tie or break SEC rush TD record?

[antny]

just because one is constructively critical of a team doesnt mean they arent happy about winning big.

there is a huge flaw with our passing game. i don't know where the problem is but it will be a problem down the road if it is not corrected.

[Gators15]

To add bit...

It's great for our moral bit before it is over to prepare for the LSU game thus to heal our players who are sick and injured as well.

I think Tebow will play bit more before John comes in.

Enjoy the rest of the game... Go Gators!

[RealGatorFan]

Not unhappy just hate to step off the pedal with so much time left. We had a chance to take UK out of the game completely and rest Tim and the others. Now they have no choice but play.

[operamac]

Meyer has stated that we just don't have the playmakers on the edges... Thompson is injured and hasn't proven he's a real playmaker yet... and Cooper and Nelson are Long striding fast guys... means they're fast in a straight line... so basically they are possession receivers...

Meyer is aware... but we'll probably have to wait til Thompson is healthy or one of the young guys proves he's capable of moving up on the depth chart.

[RealGatorFan]

Then play one of the young guys.

[RealGatorFan]

I'm thinking Hines would catch UK off guard since they haven't practiced for him. Just throw a screen. Keep it simple.

[orlandogator]

we dont have receivers. thats a huge problem.

[operamac]

Meyer expects his playmakers to do more than just catch passes... if they don't or can't... they don't see the field.

[RealGatorFan]

So much for 3 and out.

[RealGatorFan]

Or maybe not.

[gatorskater]

we are getting gashed damn...i would like to listen to Urban's halftime speech..haha..

[Judoka]

Starting off the half with a penalty. This would be a competitive game if the Cats were sharper.

[operamac]

LOL UK can't walk for tripping!

[gatorskater]

thanks god for penalties..

[Judoka]

Yikes. A better team connects on that play. They are starting to get some pressure with the front four- the QB had to step up there.

[Judoka]

And sacked! Good job, Dunlap!

[swg8trgr8]

dunlap.....having a huge game so far!!!!!!!!

[topping21]

Dunlap is playing himself a ball game tonight.

[tilly]

Dunlop is a freak.

[topping21]

That in another punt we almost got.

[operamac]

Judoka... I think Spikes... or whoever the Lb was on coverage got interfered with... at least he thought he did...

[operamac]

nice run... but BAD Block in back by Coop! UGH!

[Judoka]

Man, what a run! They aren't honoring Tim at all on that option. The flag will bring some of it back, but that's a heck of a play.

[topping21]

Come on cooper that a bonehead play

[Judoka]

Judoka... I think Spikes... or whoever the Lb was on coverage got interfered with... at least he thought he did...

Ahh, didn't see that. Good call.

[operamac]

nelson on an a PF... BAD PLAY!!!

[RealGatorFan]

Now our guys are imploding. This drive is dead.

[XAdamX]

What a stupid penalty, Cooper. Really dumb.

[topping21]

We are getting very undisciplined here. Come on Wide Outs

[The_Graygator]

Oh just punt.

It's time for the refs to call us for everything this half.

This drive is over anyway after those flags.

[RealGatorFan]

Kentucky knows we can't throw so they are starting to crowd the line.

[topping21]

3 and freaking 26 because of two veteran leaders

[RealGatorFan]

Punt.

[Judoka]

Penalty killed the drive; long field goal try now? Nope, they will punt.

[operamac]

ugh.. penalties..

[Gatorguy]

Note to UF: Remove head from arse, and stop pointing the gun at your foot. That is all.

[HALLGATOR]

Stupid penalties

[gatorskater]

we are not sharp after that 1st qtr...

[Judoka]

Yikes. They should have been able to down that inside the 5!

[topping21]

What were are guys doing down there, find the football or henry should have said he was going to angle the punt

[RealGatorFan]

Riley having his worst game as a gator.

[The_Graygator]

I wanted a score on that drive and now we got sloppy again.

I can't Believe Cooper pushed that guy in the back at the end of the play.

That was probably a TD drive right there.

[operamac]

and Henry gives A GREAT short punt and the coverage doesn't pay attention! OY!

that was BEAUTIFUL!!! as good as they could have asked!

[XAdamX]

That block in the back was beyond irritating.

[operamac]

OK Gators... get to it and get the focus back!

[topping21]

That 31-0 first quarter is coming back to haunt we get very COMPLACENT

[The_Graygator]

Time for a UK turnover.

Lets go Gator D!

[RealGatorFan]

Next UK drive is the key. Need another 3 and out.

[topping21]

Flip I thought some of our guys would be done by half way thru the 3rd period

[Judoka]

That ball goes back the other way if it was well thrown.

[MelBeachGator]

We should just let Loeffler go. I think we've abandoned the concept of a forward pass this season.

[G8RBrave]

Man I love you guys but you'd think we were losing by 24 the way some of these posts sound.

[orlandogator]

why dont we have receivers like that

[gators_8]

uk holds our d line on every single play

[gatorskater]

and the D gives up huge chunks of yardage here...great...

[The_Graygator]

Third and 8 for UK.

Time for that TO now.

[operamac]

Brave... indeed. LOL

I think we're fine... just lost some focus. we'll get it back!

[operamac]

Wtg defense!!!

[Judoka]

The D has woken back up. That screen play was a terrible call.

[The_Graygator]

We should just let Loeffler go. I think we've abandoned the concept of a forward pass this season.


Firing coaches now with a 31 - 7 lead in a road game in the SEC?

Leoffler doesn't even call the plays.

[CinciGator]

get spikes out if he is hurting

[operamac]

wow...

[RealGatorFan]

Nelson not having a good season at all.

[topping21]

Geesh just when it couldnt get anyworse for our wideouts

[RealGatorFan]

Where's Moody too?

[operamac]

spikes is playing really well tonight. so... no... he may be hurting.. but we need him out there right now... until this game is salted away.

[Judoka]

Back to the ground game. Everyone is running hard today.

[The_Graygator]

Good run by Demps.

7 yards to start off on first down.

That's what I like.

Nice long drive here, and first down by Rainey.

18th first down by the Gators.

And here comes Moody.

[operamac]

Nelson got shoved into James... he was locked up with a defender

[swg8trgr8]

moooodddyyyyy!!!!!!!!!

[Judoka]

Nice run Moody!!!

[The_Graygator]

MOODY for 31!

[aavgator]

Mooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[tilly]

Why do we not see more Moody?

[RealGatorFan]

That's what I'm talking about baby!!!

[NOTgaGATORanymore]

Finally some moody!!!!

[CinciGator]

Where's Moody too?

there you go

[topping21]

Moody needs more carries wherever it is running back or wideout

[topping21]

We look like the Nebraska running teams of the 80s and 90's just with different schemes

[The_Graygator]

3 more yards for Moody.

How about some wishbone maybe?

Rainey for 12 more to the UK 12.

[operamac]

they're gonna call holding on Hernandez but there's NO WAY that was Holding!!!!!

[The_Graygator]

TD Demps and now a flag.

Oh for crying out loud.

THERE WAS NO HOLD ON THAT PLAY!

[MelBeachGator]

Firing coaches now with a 31 - 7 lead in a road game in the SEC?

Leoffler doesn't even call the plays.

I didn't mean firing him.

It's just Addazio doesn't believe in throwing a ball past 5 yards, so the concept of a QB coach seems null to me.

[NOTgaGATORanymore]

What a CRAP call

[operamac]

Bogus call!!!

[Judoka]

That was a horrid call. There's absolutely no way Hernandez was holding.

[tilly]

Hernandez was BEING held!?!?!?

[topping21]

You know Truth betold this are just lazy penalties by our players

[XAdamX]

Awful call.

[HALLGATOR]

What kind of BS call was that?

[Gatorguy]

Ghost holding call on Hernandez.

[NOTgaGATORanymore]

WTF!!!! More flags???

[RealGatorFan]

What's with all these flags!!!!

[topping21]

Nice Tebow gets popped and a flag was all for nothing

[operamac]

MelBeach... ummm... yeah... Addazio doesn't really want to pass the ball... not at all... UGH... come on... if you believe that you need help.

[NOTgaGATORanymore]

Give me a break

[RealGatorFan]

Refs trying to keep UK in the game.

[The_Graygator]

OK, now they're just trying to keep us out of the endzone now.

This is absolute carp.

Where was the motion on that flag?

[topping21]

We are just not playing smart football and are very lacidasical

[Bazza]

That was a BAD CALL on Hernadez......ZEBRAS!!!!!!!!!!!! :fuming::fuming::zombie::zombie::huh::huh::monster ::monster:

[NOTgaGATORanymore]

Hell of a run by Timmy

[tilly]

Tebow running as good tonight as I have ever seen him.

[topping21]

Can someone else step up besides Tebow, demps and Moody

[operamac]

WOW! tebow should be sick EVERY GAME!!!

[Judoka]

Holy crap what a run by Tebow. I'm very impressed with the moves- he's not just running guys over today.

[RealGatorFan]

Oh ****!

[NOTgaGATORanymore]

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!

[aavgator]

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooo

[tilly]

Oh dear God.

[orlandogator]

uh oh.

[seanymac]

Classy fans...
