Overrated Gators

Florida 23 Tennessee 13

What happened to the Gator stomping, Urban?

If you ask me they should just be happy that they got a win AT THE SWAMP!!

For a team that all experts have been saying is the best team in nation hands downs and maybe the best team in the past decade. I was very unimpressed with their first showing against a legitimate opponent. The Gators only produced 322 yards of total offense. Tebow led the team in passing and rushing with 115 yards in the air and 76 yards rushing and one touchdown. Tebow turned the ball over twice, throwing an interception and fumbling during a run. The Gators gave up 210 yards in total defense. This is not even the season low for the Vols, with UCLA last week holding them to 208 total yards. So, let's get this straight a PAC 10 defense from UCLA holds the Vols offense to less yards than a Gator defense that returned all 11 starters from a year ago. I think Florida is good but I am not jumping on the media bandwagon until they prove that they are hands down the best team in the nation. From what I saw today they are one of the best teams but I would not put them as the consensus #1. Your QB should not be your number one rusher in the spread offense that they run. Tennessee just showed the nation that the Florida Gators are very beatable.
