    Did anybody catch the NC State Bball game on Saturday? That was the best game for the Gators this season. A nice comeback from 11 down, with help from Calathes and Walker, to take down the wolfpack.

    Skeet..i just watched some video of the AA game.....man is Kasa quick off the ball...and consistently....an excellent pass rushing DE at the very least as a freshman , uses hands well and already has multiple moves....... IMHO.......seriously underrated...and this coming from a Cane fan:)...you have real underrated guy here IMO...............

    ....but Nixon looks like he needs some junk in his trunk....does not have that OT "look"...not real thick in the middle and small hips.........did look surprisngly strong at the point though..........

    I thought Reid looked like the best player out there however you right about Bryce Brown. That guy looked amazing and I expect him to dominate in college.

    From what I've heard, Greg Reid is likely headed to either a prep school or a junior college. Of note, he will take an official visit to Mississippi State at the end of January. The coach that has been recruiting him to Florida, John Hevesy, will be named the new OL coach at Mississippi State.

    Skeet...remember he probably only has to make it past the clearinghouse ... Florida despite my being no urban Meyer fan has very few kids that the school will have to use exemptions on this year...most are full qualifiers...another reason that IMHO this class is better than last years for the Gators...

    that plus they are filling more needs and have some under rated kids IMHO....I watched the AA game again and there was no one that could handle Kasa...he was just too quick and had too much game for every OT in the game and split a chip beautifully on one play...kid has tools and is smart..if he fills out to 270...all stud...and Brown was outstanding in the under Armour game....both Richardson and Debose fit that offense like a glove....Finley is pretty good from what little I have seen, Alajain and Nixon will be at worst pretty decent active OLmen, ...overall all pretty solid players at worst and most have huge upsides...the only guy IMHO that is over rated is Bostic...nice numbers but he looks lost out there............lots of false steps but he was just too fast for competition in HS...he will have problems adjusting to SEC speed IMHO.......

    Still in my hometown of G-ville for the game. Already have requests in Daytona Beach for the morning edition of the Gainesville Sun.:lol: They've already got the flagpoles and light posts greased up on University Ave for postgame celebrations. I hope it's a good one. Good luck Gator fans.:up:

    Well I said I wasn't going to talk about the game anymore but after listening to all the so call experts act like OU shouldn't even show up to the game tonight, I thought I would add my two cents. This isn't Florida vs Ohio St two years ago fellas, OU offense is something that the history of college football has never seen. That is right never seen before. So all this Big 12 doesn't play defense, Big 12 is soft, or Big 12 whatever nonsense I've been hearing this week is crap. OU's schedule was more impressive than Florida's...non conference and conference. We shall find out in about 9 hours what will happen... I say OU 38 - Florida 30 :up:

    I can't believe people are trolling this thread today.

    Nighttrain - appreciate your enthusiasm, but I still see no way the Gators lose this. They win by at least 10. And if they lose, I'll be the first one on here to eat crow.

    And before you accuse me of being a homer....I went to the U. Class of 2001.

    I think UF wins by about 10 pts. OU has a great offense but their stats are a bit inflated. They simply have not gone up against great defenses. This doesn't mean that their offense isn't excellent but it does mean that they will face a tougher test today than they have all year. Also it's not like UF has a poor offense. They were the third highest scoring offense in the country. (OU was #1). And they did that against more good defenses than OU did. UF also pulled Tebow and most of their starters by about the 3rd qtr of most games after Miss. (I don't know if OK did or not). So arguably, facing greater defenses and not playing 4 quarters would mean that UF's impressive numbers may be a bit deflated.

    On defense it's not really a contest. UF is by all accounts a very good defense. OU is (at best) a mediocre defense.

    With STs it's not even close. UF is one of the best in the country while OU is one of the worst.

    The way I see it OU's only chance is to just outscore UF. That's the only place where they have an advantage and that advantage isn't huge. On the other hand UF is far superior in two of the three phases of the game. Obviously anything can happen and if one team has a bunch of turnovers that team will lose but the advantage is clearly UF's. I think if they played this game 100 times UF would win at least 75 of them.

    Great victory my fellow Gator fans .A well deserved victory which proves you need defense to be great .:up:

    Tebow becomes a legend with this victory .Next year.....3peat .The defense comes back intact .Tebow is likely to come back .The offense will reload with some more speed .:yes:

    Recruiting will get a big boost .
