Firmly in the thicket of SEC play, today's game offers UF a chance to start breaking open their playbook and letting some imagination creep in. Urban Meyer made the point this week how much the clock rules prevent an offense from building momentum. But it also ties into play calling. If Dan Mullen only gets 24 plays in the first half, as they did at Tennessee, can you really take chances? Can you see if Emmanuel Moody is able to handle some of Tebow's carries?
Last week, Moody did get nine carries, three less than Tebow, so the Gators are moving towards trusting the transfer. While he will not be the bulldozer Tebow is in short yardage, a still shaky o-line leaves Tebow open to more punishment. It makes sense to let Moody be the inside man until the line gets solid.
It is hard looking at UF's offensive numbers and coming to any sort of conclusion. But, including the last quarter of the Miami game, the Gators have now scored 40 offensive points in their last five quarters. So, the question leading into today's game; is 8 points a quarter good enough?

first half
Very sloppy and not much fight on the o-line. UF however is right on their 8 pts per quarter average.

You can't make a play...
when you are looking around and hoping someone else makes it.
mlmintampa - September 27, 2008
Im close to jumping off the nearby bridge...
…so something better change. : (
Slica - September 27, 2008
Come on Tebow!!!!
bdalebs - September 27, 2008
HELL YEAH!!!
Tie game. Obviously the offense still not running anywhere near 100 percent.
bdalebs - September 27, 2008
Tebow has negative rushing yards, correct?
I dont get the game here this week.
Man that was a scary one. That 4th and 1 was huge.
Slica - September 27, 2008
I'm nice:

Although now you have to watch Raycom Sports, which is like stabbing your eyes and ears out with broken pencils.
bdalebs - September 27, 2008
I really appreciate it.
But im on dial up. : (
Thanks though!
Slica - September 27, 2008
Click on Video Quality.
I would imagine either 100k or 300k would be low enough.
bdalebs - September 27, 2008
Kestahn still playing?!?!?!?!?
WHY?!?!?!?!
bdalebs - September 27, 2008
Hey mlmintampa:
How many members are there of Alligator Army? It always seems to be quiet.
bdalebs - September 27, 2008
Did that just happen?
Slica - September 27, 2008
Yes, unfortunately.
Major didn’t cover the receiver when he passed the corner.
bdalebs - September 27, 2008
Great catch by Murphy.
bdalebs - September 27, 2008
So... tonight, we are rooting for UGA right?
We play them, but not Bama, so it would help our schedule. Unfortunately, it has to be a close game, or it will make us look weak. I do not want another Big 12 team in the Top 10, or have Penn State higher than #7.
bdalebs - September 27, 2008
Im rooting for Georgia...
Though I like Alabama more. I also think Alabama is going to destroy them. We shall see, but im really looking forward to that one.
Slica - September 27, 2008
I have to write an English paper today...
And try not to have my lung pop out onto my desktop.
bdalebs - September 27, 2008
PERCY!!!!!
Yeah, fools!!!! He was jogging the last ten yards.
bdalebs - September 27, 2008
F***.
Blocked XP.
bdalebs - September 27, 2008
Rely on defense to get the ball back?
Or go for the onside kick?
bdalebs - September 27, 2008
Apparently relying on defense.
bdalebs - September 27, 2008
Wow
There goes the fingernails.
Slica - September 27, 2008
You got the vid working I'm guessing?
bdalebs - September 27, 2008
Haha no video, but the audio is working great.
Slica - September 27, 2008
Even with the lowest quality?
bdalebs - September 27, 2008
Yup, but im perfectly happy with the audio.
So seriously, I really appreciate it. Very nice of you.
Slica - September 27, 2008
That's odd. My dad is in Texas.
He said it was working, and I’m assuming that the AF wouldn’t give him broadband…
bdalebs - September 27, 2008
Good Defense.
Now, come on Tebow. Throw it to the receivers, not their feet. HARVIN=MVP
bdalebs - September 27, 2008
Or at the place where they are going to be in an hour.
Way to far in front of Murphy.
bdalebs - September 27, 2008
*too
bdalebs - September 27, 2008
AND HARVIN!!!!
Is Tebow allergic to accurate throws today?
bdalebs - September 27, 2008
Cooper actually can catch balls?
OMG!
bdalebs - September 27, 2008
One timeout...
bdalebs - September 27, 2008
SO CLOSE
Ahhh
Slica - September 27, 2008
on the two back-to-back overthrows?
Timmy is off today. God, I hope he ain’t injured.
bdalebs - September 27, 2008
Come on...
bdalebs - September 27, 2008
Phillips is ready...
Just get to the 25….
bdalebs - September 27, 2008
Go for it now on 4th and 2-ish?
Or kick it (48 yards)?
bdalebs - September 27, 2008
This is insanely nerve racking.
Slica - September 27, 2008
They didn't get it.
God, PLEASE!!!!
bdalebs - September 27, 2008
OH F'N NO!!!!!!!!!!!
bdalebs - September 27, 2008
FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now we gotta run the table with big wins. Fucking offense!!!!!! Learn to move the fucking balll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
bdalebs - September 27, 2008
As a Gator/Seahawk/Sonic/Mariner fan.
My groin is starting to hurt.
Slica - September 27, 2008
You mean Thunder, right?
Now I gotta go watch the Sox barely try against the MFY. Bye.
bdalebs - September 27, 2008
ouch
Florida had the better team today but definately did not deserve to win the game.
