2009 FINAL #1 Florida Gators 13 at #4 LSU Tigers 3

[gatorskater]

dumb....what are we doing...first addazio messes up on 2nd and 3 and 3rd and3....and we dont take the 3 pts?

[raycgator]

We do not look like #1

[The_Graygator]

Time for an LSU turnover here. Come on, it's going to happen. They're playing way too tight.

[CBGator87]

momentum shift....

[orlandogator]

this is what happens a momentum switch.

[jfsatin]

If you cant cover your man sit on the bench. Terrible Markihe!

[NOTgaGATORanymore]

How can we rush so many guys and get no pressure?

[Dreamliner]

Sinking feeling ...

[gatorskater]

our D is getting scorched...

[RealGatorFan]

Not looking good right now....D is being pushed a bit now.

[orlandogator]

helmet to helmet is right. that is what i saw

[The_Graygator]

NOW I'm not liking this.

We're playing right into LSu's hands with this low-scoring game.

If we're afraid to let Tim throw or take any real chances, we need to let Johnny in and air it out IMO.

[Spurffelbow833]

If Tebow can't be Tebow, we're in trouble.

[NOTgaGATORanymore]

No hold call there

[tilly]

Holding on Dunlop! He was about to kill the QB

[orlandogator]

where is the holding call.

[The_Graygator]

C'mon Gator D!

[pavelow]

Good stop!

[coachw1]

UGA sacked him 6 times and we are no where close

[hocgator]

Nice Holding Non Call

[tilly]

Our shot at a 4th down stop???

[jfsatin]

watch what happens when they go

[pavelow]

.....and they go for it on 4th and get it. Damn.

[tilly]

Offsides.

[TravelingGator]

4th and 1 again...bad memories...

[The_Graygator]

Motion on LSU on 4th down?

[Dreamliner]

It must be a Death Valley thing. They can convert their fourth downs, we cannot.

[raycgator]

i just can't forget about all those wasted plays

[CBGator87]

SIT DOWN, Dunlap. STUPID!!

[TravelingGator]

Yeah PF good job....damn weak assed refs

[tilly]

Here we go....payback calls

[The_Graygator]

Personal foul on UF?

They called Dunlap. How freakin' stupid can you be?

[orangebluegator]

weak call

[tilly]

What did he do????? That happens every play!!!

[TravelingGator]

Wrap up!!! crap

[Dreamliner]

Our vaunted defense that was supposed to smother the LSU team, that was throttled by Georgia, can't get close to Jefferson.

[CBGator87]

Easy on the extracurriculars, guys.

[tilly]

What???????

[orlandogator]

what a joke.

[TravelingGator]

What weak calls..damn refs

[CBGator87]

Another PF. Stupidity.

[NOTgaGATORanymore]

The wheels are falling off

[The_Graygator]

Another personal foul on UF.

Y'know, LSU slpped one of our guys in the face on our first drive and didn;t call it.

Lets cool it with the flags some refs. Call the necessary stuff, but not the nit-picking stuff.

[tilly]

Dang it Brandon!

[TravelingGator]

Our vaunted D is being worked...2007 again...

[gatorskater]

we better not give up 7 here...

[The_Graygator]

Get them off the field Gators.

[orlandogator]

time is just eating away.

[tilly]

Call on Dunlop was weak. Call on Spikes was the right call.

[SouperTiger]

Another personal foul on UF.

Y'know, LSU slpped one of our guys in the face on our first drive and didn;t call it.

Lets cool it with the flags some refs. Call the necessary stuff, but not the nit-picking stuff.

Man there have been flags flying like crazy this game. Some good, some bad. Our (and I know I don't mean mine and yours) defense has been ok but sloppy on the offisdes.

[The_Graygator]

TRAVELING, calm down.

[jfsatin]

Touchdown LSU! Lets get ready to return one Brandon and get some momentum back.

[orlandogator]

they have had alot of breakshere and have made an adjustment. it will open up. we have the better team clearly.

[hocgator]

I am sooooooo sick of nit picky calls contributing to the outcome of the games

[clt_gator]

Where is the plodding LSU offense I saw in their past couple games?

[tilly]

TURNOVER

[coachw1]

Conservative play calling is playing right into LSU's hands

[Zitheral]

Playing Tebow this way is worse than worthless. I'd rather him be benched and play JB than this weak crap. My sister could hand off the dive play every down.

[gatorskater]

we played like crap the last 5 mins....dumb all the way..

[RealGatorFan]

This is what worried me about the dline.....no push. Not even making Jefferson sweat. If we cannot pressure him, this game is over.

[GladesGator80]

Time to man up Gators

[The_Graygator]

Need to get the ball back and start a drive of our own, but we're going to have to be able to be balanced.

We seem fine between the 20's but we have to start converting the redzone TD's.

[tilly]

4th and goal.

[CBGator87]

See, Les knows when to take the 3.

[Dreamliner]

Moral victory for our defense.

[jfsatin]

HUGE win for us!!

[clt_gator]

Surprised they didn't go for it.

[Spurffelbow833]

Moral victory there.

[NOTgaGATORanymore]

Kept them to a FG. I'll take that considering the drive.

[tilly]

Great job there by our Defense.

Storm weathered.

We need to score here and burn some clock. We get the ball in the second half.

[Bazza]

That was HUGE! We held 'em! :yes:

[orangebluegator]

We are in for a long one unless we start to throw the ball. Let's hope BJ gets a nice return.

[mdgator01]

Okay now either play Tebow or don't but don't play him while not letting him play and calling the same stupid dive play over and over again. We won't score the rest of the way if we do that.

[Dreamliner]

Okay Meyer/Addazio, stop playing scared. Our defense is vulnerable and we're going to have to outscore LSU.

[The_Graygator]

Strong will make adjustments and we'll be fine, but we need to get a Td before the half is over and take the lead into the locker room.

Still wondering why we didn't just go for the FG earlier.

But I agree with some of you guys, playing vanilla with Tim is going to get us beat if they;re not going to let Tim be Tim.

[TheRaid]

Moral victory there.

Kiffin? Is that you?

[NOTgaGATORanymore]

I'm curious to see if we are going to change things up a bit on offense....hope so

[gatorcowboy]

C ommercials
B rought
S teadily

[TravelingGator]

TRAVELING, calm down.


I am Gray.

[Speedofsand]

Cmon Corch, turn him loose. Let the Gator pass !!!!

[Spurffelbow833]

I hate to say it...but this offense is reminding me of Zook.

[tilly]

Our defense gives up goose eggs and fieldgoals. Thats how you win games.

[jisgator]

Our. Offense is designed a certain way for a reason. The system doesn't work if you take out half of the most important piece. Either let Tebow play or get him out of the game. I never though I'd say this but right now Tim Tebow is a liability.

[RealGatorFan]

Still, concerned that the dline can't seem to pressure the qb in any game. Also concerned that we aren't playing our offense.

[CBGator87]

I hate to say it...but this offense is reminding me of Zook.

Yeah, this has Zaunbrecher written all over it.

[Bryan85]

Spike's penalty? "Hitting a defensless player?" what the f*ck does that mean?

A gift FG.

[TravelingGator]

That was HUGE! We held 'em! :yes:

Good my 2007 flashback abated...hehehe

[clt_gator]

Still, concerned that the dline can't seem to pressure the qb in any game. Also concerned that we aren't playing our offense.

They're not doing any big drops. It's all quickie stuff & runs, except for that 1 big play.

[GladesGator80]

We are going to have to throw the ball to win.

[ATL_Gator]

I expect us to do something better this drive, they are starting to stop the dive.

[tilly]

Lets remember guys. 30 yards of that drive were because penalties. Not LSU.

[slinkygator]

Now that was Tebow

[CBGator87]

"Nailed", Verne? Really?

[aavgator]

come on Vern I would not call that nailed.

[Maroon_Gator]

You guys do realize we spotted them 30 yards right? And still held them to a fg on the goalline

[gatorskater]

ok..good to see TT runb..lets do that..

[The_Graygator]

JIS, it certainly is making us predictable.

So far, it's enabled LSU to play this game like they want.

[GatorLaw]

What is wrong with our passing game? Tebow never never just drops and throws the ball, it's always this look look look scramble stuff.

[deviation]

Where is the hurry up? LSU and Florida are both burning as much clock as they can on offense.

[slinkygator]

1st down. Moooooody

[orangebluegator]

After that first play...it seems that we aren't getting any separation from their cbs...where is the passing game?

[Spurffelbow833]

Great run, Tim...scary that nobody can get open.

[TravelingGator]

Let the big Gators loose....

[ATL_Gator]

there we go

[tilly]

Brandon James!

[slinkygator]

Theres a pass :joecool:

[Spurffelbow833]

FINALLY

[TravelingGator]

Great run, Tim...scary that nobody can get open.


Definitley strange

[slinkygator]

Demps for the 1st down

[CBGator87]

and there go the helmets.

[ATL_Gator]

just to note, if we are getting 8 yards a run, there is no need to pass.

[The_Graygator]

Come on Gators!

[gatorcowboy]

was that the second helment or have i missed some?

[tilly]

Two helmets...remember I had the over.

[slinkygator]

This offense looks familiar

[TravelingGator]

Yeah it all starts with the first pass...

[tilly]

Guys why are you complaining about the dive? It is working.

[CBGator87]

I'm glad to see Moody getting more carries.

[TravelingGator]

was that the second helment or have i missed some?


You've missed a couple

[The_Graygator]

20 carries for about 120 yards for UF, around 5 ypc so far.

38 yards for Moody.

[Spurffelbow833]

Moody got facemasked big time

[tilly]

That guy was lined up offsides by his full helmet????

[TravelingGator]

I'm glad to see Moody getting more carries.

:yes:

[The_Graygator]

there we go, some read play for Tebow to make LSU honest.

We'll burn them sooner or later on that.

[gatorskater]

ok....lets get 7 here before the half...guys..

[tilly]

"vintage tebow"

[TravelingGator]

Facemasks are bad news....

[aavgator]

nice run Timmy

[CBGator87]

How about that swampstain punching Tebow after the whistle??? No call!

[ATL_Gator]

TD before the half.

watch the clock.

[The_Graygator]

First down Tebow. Tebow 5 carries for 13 yards.

[TravelingGator]

Ahh Timy getting back to normal....

[tilly]

LSU calls a timeout. They just realized that Tim Tebow....is still Tim Tebow.

[augustus713]

Good thing they blew that play dead quick, because that was a clean strip on Tim.

[gatorskater]

now we better hurry up or we will run out of time..

[tilly]

Tebows runs here set up that rocker step move. It is such a huge part of our play action game.

[Spurffelbow833]

Maybe they were making sure Tim was OK the contact he was getting before they ran him.

[Bazza]

ANY score will do but let's get a TD GUYS!!!!!!! :yes::yes::yes::yes::yes:

[GatorFanNGA]

hell yea that was a fumble...glad they whistled it dead...we need a TD!!!

[The_Graygator]

Yep. Hitting a "defenseless player", where's the flag?

Interesting theory guys... have you noticed now that they;re letting Tim run more?

I think they may have been testing to see what he could do first and are seeing what they can allow him to do.

Maybe they;re going to let him open up gardually as the game goes. remember, he did miss an entire week of practice last week.

[jisgator]

Now just let him play football

[orlandogator]

he wasnt making any progress though you cant let 3 defenders keep him up while another guy strips him.

[TravelingGator]

The Gators aren't defenseless I guess Gray

[tilly]

So LSU thought that turning on all their other stadiums lights for TV was fiscally responsible?

[coachw1]

Tim is still a touch tentative

[orlandogator]

yeah!!!!!!

[The_Graygator]

Td cooooooooooop!

[tilly]

BANG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CBGator87]

TIMMY TOUCHDOWN to Riley Cooper!!!!

[ATL_Gator]

There we GO!

Hell Yes!

[Speedofsand]

#11

[Dreamliner]

We have a vertical passing game!

[orangebluegator]

Beautiful....a single tear came from my eye because the WRs are back!

[aavgator]

Why is Vern so hung up on TT and Coop being roommates??

[gatorcowboy]

Coooooooper

[Bazza]

Saweeeeeeeeeeeeeet! :yes::yes::yes: :roll:

[tilly]

That play was there because of all the dive plays!

[GladesGator80]

Take it all BEYATCH

[TravelingGator]

Sniff TD Gators....bless 'em all!!

[RealGatorFan]

Riley got away with one there.

[The_Graygator]

Tebow has just tied Danny Wuerffel for 122 total TD's with that TD pass.

[ActLikeYouCrow]

didnt louis murphy pull the same move against georgia last year

[GatorFanNGA]

RILEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TravelingGator]

Why is Vern so hung up on TT and Coop being roommates??


Verne is jealous of Coop....:laugh:

[gatorskater]

ok...finally.... we did something here...but still a little bit too much time on the clock...for LSU..we need to stop em now..

[jisgator]

See you put that missing pice back in and bingo, the system works!

[augustus713]

Sneaky move by Riley, glad the refs didn't see it.

[ATL_Gator]

That play was there because of all the dive plays!

quoted because it needs to be seen again.

[EbSaxman]

Whoa, Coop got away with a little hold there. We dodged a bullet on that one.

[jfsatin]

Gators get away with one! I'll take it!!Gotta play D

[orlandogator]

Stay thirsty my friends.

[Bazza]

Why is Vern so hung up on TT and Coop being roommates??

Cause he's an idiot. :laugh:

Nothing personal - Verne :yes:

[Spurffelbow833]

Tebow runs it one time and we get Cooper open downfield the next play. Coincidence? No way!

[tilly]

Why is Vern so hung up on TT and Coop being roommates??

Jealousy.... my Gator brother...pure jealousy!

TIM TEBOW TIES DANNY's SEC RECORD WITH 122 TOTAL TD's

[Dreamliner]

Strong will make adjustments and we'll be fine, but we need to get a Td before the half is over and take the lead into the locker room.

Still wondering why we didn't just go for the FG earlier.

But I agree with some of you guys, playing vanilla with Tim is going to get us beat if they;re not going to let Tim be Tim.

*check mark*

[orangebluegator]

Why is Vern so hung up on TT and Coop being roommates??

He's obviously jealous...he wants to room with Tebow.

[EbSaxman]

Why is Vern so hung up on TT and Coop being roommates??

It makes up the bulk of his fantasy life.

[orlandogator]

you could tell the DB was watching to see if Tebow would run,.

[JaxGator75]

Murphy did that move on Georgia last year. :)

[orlandogator]

there again, his roomate.

[RealGatorFan]

Riley didn't need to do that anyway.

[deviation]

Good, glad they didn't kick to Holiday.

[The_Graygator]

They're letting Tebow run just enough to make LSU respect it. Tebow doesn't need to crash helmets every play, just make a a few small runs to keep them honest is all.

[Dreamliner]

We opted for the pooch kick to give LSU a chance to score before the half.

[tilly]

Bad kickoff decision? Or good?

[aavgator]

Verne is jealous of Coop....:laugh:

You might be on to something here...lol :yes:

[Tu_Gator]

Verne wants Coops hair. He is a jealous old man!

[gatorskater]

I would be pissed off if LSU even sniffed a FG before the half..

[RealGatorFan]

Take the lead weights out of the d's pants. Just attack him.

[gatorskater]

lets punish em here.,...

[TravelingGator]

Pooch kick...sheesh Arggggh!

[The_Graygator]

Matter of time before LSU starts making a mistake.

Why, hold by LSU on the jet sweep, no flag.

[JerseyGator01]

Can't complain about the refs today. I thought this was in Baton Rouge.

I've never seen a team get away with pass interference as much as us on any level on offense. SEC refs are horrible. I saw that coming from a mile away.

[tilly]

HADEN!!!!!!!

[TravelingGator]

lets punish em here.,...


Punish them hard....

[orlandogator]

you knew he would make a mistake. that was a george jefferson throw.

[aavgator]

PICK JOE!!!

[EbSaxman]

Sweeeeeet!

[tilly]

Throw a bomb....dont take a knee!

[ATL_Gator]

Take one shot down the field.

[The_Graygator]

This a game of field position.

No more of this stuff in the second half Gator coaches, please.

Thank you.

[Spurffelbow833]

I feel 100 times better than I did 5 minutes ago.

[slinkygator]

Argh, I wish we had tried a couple of long balls

[orlandogator]

lets make it 17-3 and start blowing this open.

[TravelingGator]

Matter of time before LSU starts making a mistake.

Why, hold by LSU on the jet sweep, no flag.

What's the count so far on obvious misses?

[tilly]

Hey guys I'll take it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!

This defense is very good!

[ATL_Gator]

sigh.

missed opportunity. 23 seconds, take ONE shot down field. 30+ yard pass.

[EbSaxman]

Why does "Quick Reply" still take me back to the thread list? It is very annoying! Anyone know how to fix it?

[msg8r]

and now Cooper will disappear for the night

[gatorskater]

cmon TT...lets go deep here...or throw down the middle atleast good enough for a FG..

[ATL_Gator]

oh well, I like it so far.

[TravelingGator]

Hey guys I'll take it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!

This defense is very good!

I take back what I said earlier..sorry guys...

[BobK89]

Did we only have the ball three times in the first half? Four counting the kneel play?

Drive one - FG
Drive two - Downs
Drive three - TD

Am I missing anything? Three first half possessions seems really low.

[sierragator]

In control, finish the job

[Dreamliner]

Riley didn't need to do that anyway.

That's on Billy Gonzalez (and twice we've gotten away with it).

[TravelingGator]

Why does "Quick Reply" still take me back to the thread list? It is very annoying! Anyone know how to fix it?


There used to be a check box to remain in the thread and not go all the way back to the forum. Might be in your user control.

[RealGatorFan]

I wished the dline would get a better push. It's embarrassing that Georgia had 6 sacks and we can't even get close.

[Bryan85]

Why don't you chuck down field on the last play?

And if you're worried about the QB's head, he should not be playing.

[Nelson25]

Janoris and Haden are absolutely shutting down Tolliver and LaFell

[tommyuf21]

All in all, a solid first half. If we can have a good drive and a score on the first possession of the second half, LSU will have to gamble a little more and give the D some big play opportunities.

I'm pleased with our success on the ground and the passing game will continue to open us for us.

[TravelingGator]

Janoris and Haden are absolutely shutting down Tolliver and LaFell


Excellent

[tilly]

Spencer Tillman: "Its clear that Tebow does not want to run the ball"
Urban Meyer: "Tim has been in my ear (about running it more)"

I'll go with Urban.
...and I'll take a big can of shut up for Mr. Tillman please.

[orangebluegator]

I wished the dline would get a better push. It's embarrassing that Georgia had 6 sacks and we can't even get close.

The few times we got a major push...I noticed we got held at the last second or whiffed and gave up a qb run.

[Rawpimple]

Gator D is very very good.

Even Les Miles who is the biggest gambler decided to kick a FG from one yard out? I thought that was a strange call. You are playing the #1 team and you should go for the win and the dagger not a FG. FGs dont win games.


Janoris Jenkins is all over the field. That dude is a playmaker.

Moody has done an incredible job running the football. For me, he and Demps should be touching the ball.

[The_Graygator]

Watch the onsides on the opening Ko of the second half IMO.

Miles is playing it safe but he's apt to call a crazy play at least once in this one.

Let Tim run it more but there's no reason to really punish him, just keep the LSU defense honest.

Finally, realize this is a field position/possession game. Take the points when you can get them and no more pooch kicks.

[gatorskater]

i think...we should have taken those 3 pts...but we need to open up a better lead soon or else LSU will be back in this with one trick play somewhere..

[Bryan85]

Almost always in college football.... the team that scores first in the 2nd half....wins the game.

[Rawpimple]

The Gators gameplan is obvious this entire year. RUN RUN RUN RUN, play defense, and in the 2nd half the opposing D will be gassed and those dive plays that went for 2-3 yards now get broken for 30 yards. Our O-line puts a punishment on opposing D-lines.

For us in the 2nd half, continue to play lights out D, and hold onto the football, continue to pound the middle.

[The_Graygator]

EB, it usually defaults back to the thread in the quick reply box.

if you quote someone it'll take you back to the mnain page.

[jfsatin]

I was thinking the same thing Gray. Watch the onsides kick!

[GatorNorth]

Didnt Kentucky score first 2 weeks ago?

[The_Graygator]

After a lightening delay, it's 7 - 7 in Tally in the first quarter in the "game of no defense".

[tilly]

We have driven the ball into scoring position every time (except taking a knee at the end.) They have not proven they can stop us.

[orlandogator]

what is the time of possession?

[Maroon_Gator]

Oline is doing their jobs and we are holding their running backs down

[jisgator]

Our defense is in complete control. If Urban lets Timmy play the 2nd half they way he played on the touchdown drive, we'll win this game with ease. LSU has had nothing.

[orangebluegator]

Did you guys see the Texas Tech score? That's the definition of a system QB...and to think Graham Harrell and Colt Brennan were once legit Heisman candidates. Ridiculous.

[rjGator]

what is the time of possession?

16:40 uf

13:10 lsu

[Jaggator]

Didnt Kentucky score first 2 weeks ago?

No, Florida scored the first 31 points all in the 1st quarter.

[SailinGator]

OK can someone with more football aptitude than myself explain why we didn't just kick a FG instead of going for it on 4th and 2? What is our FG range? Seems to me that if we're playing a possession game, we would maximize our scoring opportunities. Now instead of being up by 2 scores/possessions, we're up by one.

[tilly]

That Geico pot hole commercial is kinda funny.

[citygator]

what is the time of possession?

16:40 uf

13:10 lsu

[RealGatorFan]

Almost always in college football.... the team that scores first in the 2nd half....wins the game.

Tell that Missouri.

[orlandogator]

yeah that pot hole is obviously in baton rouge.

[tommyuf21]

OK can someone with more football aptitude than myself explain why we didn't just kick a FG instead of going for it on 4th and 2? What is our FG range? Seems to me that if we're playing a possession game, we would maximize our scoring opportunities. Now instead of being up by 2 scores/possessions, we're up by one.

We've converted on a lot of those. I didn't mind going for it, although I didn't like the play call. LSU is too quick on the corners to get away with those slow developing plays.

I understand the reasoning for going for it.

[tilly]

Seems to me that if we're playing a possession game, we would maximize our scoring opportunities. Now instead of being up by 2 scores/possessions, we're up by one.

I think Urbans faith in our D gives him the luxury of taking some risks. If we convert that it could be 17-3 now with us getting the ball...

I liked the call. In hindsight of course.....the 3 would be huge now.

[JaxGator75]

We gambled. We pulled out a play we haven't run this season and it didn't work. Probably should have tried it to the far side of field to give Brandon more space.

[leftcoastgator]

Moody's averaging over 7 per carry.

More Moody, please.

[Jaggator]

Get ready for Brandon James to take the 2nd half kick-off to the house.

[GladesGator80]

We need to come out, play aggressive, score and take the croud out of the game for good.
