i think i regret not voting for todd johnson
but nelson and wright were such joys to watch, johnson got the job done as well. can’t we vote for three? they have been playing a 3-3-5, so i think three safeties belong. just one old time gator’s opinion.

We ask you vote for 2, but the poll code does not limit votes. Technically, you could vote once every day for every choice.

3427 plays, and the guy can’t find the ball on a 50-yard Hail Mary against FSU in 2003.
God dammit.
