The Florida Gators came to play. All I can say right now due to over excitement. The Gators defeated the Tigers 51-21 in a well played ball game tonight. What a game huh? Tim Tebow played awsome. Not just Tebow, but the whole entire Gator squad. The 90,600 and some fans roared as the Gators ran out of the tunnel and the adrenaline really got to Florida and LSU might have showed some signs of intimidation. What a weekend of college football. With some of the top 10 teams going down, it should move Florida up in the rankings and they should be crawling back up slowly as the season comes along.
Freshman Jeffrey Demps surprised alot of fans tonight. Demps rushed for 129 yards along with his rushing touchdown. He made big plays to stretch the score out further and further and really hurt LSU on defense. Tebow came out really played his tail off. Throwing for 210 yards with 2 TD’s, rushing for 22 yards with one rushing TD. This game was expected to be much closer than it turned out but the Gator fans do not mind at all. If Florida plays like they did tonight, then there is no way any team in the Nation could compete with them. Florida has alot of talent and showed it all off against one of the biggest games of the season against ranked NO. 3 opponent.
On defense, Brandon Spikes came away with 2 interceptions. The Gators defense really impressed everybody. Florida only allowed LSU to 80 rushing yards. They were their to make the tackles when needed and their to break up the passes on 3rd and 4th down conversions. The Loss against Ole Miss had some effect in the win tonight. And what do you think about the quote about taking Tebow out of the game? Do you think that had some affect on the loss on the LSU side? Not much more to say about tonight besides Florida played real ball. That is the way “the Gators play”. Let’s hope Florida can play and finish up with the same intensity for the rest of the season against teams like Georgia, South Carolina, and Florida State. Not to mention the game in Vandy. You cannot play any better, so all I can say is what a great win to add on the W column and a way to make everybody in Gainesville happy. Florida will face the Kentucky Wildcats on homecoming night next week in the Swamp. Some stats may be seen below.
