The week began with talk about “The Incident” from last year’s Florida-Georgia game and how the Florida Gators will respond. From there the talk moved to Florida’s fast freshman tailbacks Jeffery Demps and Chris Rainey and then to Tim Tebow, who played last year with a badly injured shoulder. Next there was talk about how the Florida defense matches up against Georgia’s dynamic duo of quarterback Matthew Stafford and tailback Knowshon Moreno. Entering the game today, the hype has switched to Tebow and Stafford with Georgia apologist Mark Bradley and Mr. College Football, Tony Barnhardt, claiming that Stafford is a better quarterback than Florida’s Heisman Trophy winner of 2007.
Lost in the shuffle has been one William Percival Harvin III. Has there ever been more hype for a big game with hardly any mention of its most talented player? Talk all you want about Tebow, Demps, Rainey, Stafford and Moreno, but Percy Harvin is better. He will be the best and most dangerous football player on the field Saturday. He is the one player that there is no answer for. If he stays healthy throughout the game and the Gators play turnover free football, watch for Harvin to have a game for the ages.
