The LSU Defense:

This is one of the fastest units that Florida has seen in a while, especially up front. That's the bad news. The good news for Florida fans is that their best DE to this point, Sam Montgomery, will miss the rest of the season with an injury, and another...

OK. I didn't see that coming. I thought UF would continue to struggle in this game because I thought UK would be on a mission, but I was wrong. UF was the team on a mission.

Here is what I noticed in the game:

1. The offensive struggles in the 2nd quarter happened for 2 reasons:

-Offensive line injuries to Mike Pouncey and Carl Johnson. It's pretty clear after watching UK smash the middle of UFs line for 10 minutes, that without those 2 healthy UF has...

I think there are two big story lines going into this game:

1. Can UT overcome depth and inexperience and play a complete game against a top tier team?

2. How will UFs offense look in their first SEC game after struggling for most of the first two games of 2010?

For the UT vs UF game, I think the answer to #1 and the answer to #2 are closely related. I say that because I...
