Well, that was a tough game to watch. On Saturday night, the Florida Gators took on the Florida State Seminoles in what was supposed to be a heated rivalry and a dogfight of a game. It turned into a pathetic display of offense, on both sides, and a insanely boring evening filled with expletives. Throughout the evening all I could do is think about how far the Florida teams have fallen. Miami is disgraceful and disgraced. FSU was ranked in the top ten coming into the season and finished un- ranked. And the Gators, we all no how there season turned out, just disappointing. FSU FANS, don’t get to carried away because you beat Florida and Miami in the same year. Remember, no one picked either Miami or the Gators to go anywhere this year. On the other hand, the Seminoles were picked to dominate the NCAA and maybe even make a run at the National Title. You know what I call how there season turned out…EPIC FAIL.

The Gators fell to the Seminoles 21 – 7 at home for the first time since 2003 on Saturday night. The worst part about this game was how John Brantley played and how his career in college football ended.  Saturday night was Senior Night for the Gators. They had all of their loved ones in attendance and everyone was ready to go. Or at least everyone except Brantley. Before Brantley was smashed by two FSU players, which made him leave the game for good, he had thrown for three interceptions in just 1 and a half quarters of play. Two of the interceptions gave FSU prime field position. That is how FSU went up 14 – 0 in the first half. The saddest thing about the entire night is that our defense played very well. Ronald Powell and Jaye Howard created issues for the Florida State front line throughout the entire night. The Seminoles managed only 30 rushing yards and 65 passing yards. Basically they were crushed all night, and if it weren’t for Brantley’s turnovers, this would have been a closer game.  After going down 21 – 0 in the second half, the Gators finally put together a score off of a Jaye Howard fumble recovery on the FSU 21 yard line. Freshman quarterback, Jacoby Brissett hit Quinton Dunbar for the only points for the Gators with 4:16 remaining in the game.

Ok…Deep Breath…the 2011 season is in the books. Although the last game of the season was a debacle, most Gator fans shouldn’t be too upset with how the year went. It was always labeled a rebuilding year. With a slew of new coaches and a brand new offensive scheme, the Gator Faithful shouldn’t have expected too much greatness. Unfortunately, we believed that there would be some greatness, however starting the season going 4 – 0 and ending up 6-6 is just brutal. Hopefully Muschamp and Weis set the recruiting trail a blaze, because it is very clear that the Gators need some help, and hopefully they are focusing on offense. God knows we need it.
