Georgia Bulldogs Vs Florida Gators - KOD
- Thread starter THE KOD
- Start date
Intangibles: Advantage Tebow, who currently is helping the Gators play better than ever after an impassioned post-Ole-Miss-game speech. He's a leader in every sense of the word.
Arm: Advantage Stafford, who arguably has the best in the business. :SIB
Athleticism: Advantage Tebow, who carries a 6-foot-3, 240-pound frame better than almost anybody.
NFL potential: Advantage Stafford, who is considered by some to be a No. 1 pick in next year's draft. He's the prototype. I think Tebow will be a good NFL quarterback, but some certainly disagree with me because of his mechanics.
Record: Advantage Stafford, whose 24-5 record as a Bulldog starter (83 percent) dwarfs Tebow's record of 15-5 (75 percent) .
Poise: Advantage Tebow, who has just nine career interceptions to Stafford's 28.
Who has more help?: It's a tie. Stafford has Knowshon Moreno and A.J. Green, Tebow has Percy Harvin, Chris Rainey, Jeff Demps and other speedsters.

I bring all of that up because last season changed everything. It wasn?t just that Georgia won; that had happened twice before in my memory. It was the first time that I can remember where the Bulldogs were the aggressor, and where Florida wasn?t the bully. It?s not just related to the celebration incident, though that was a huge part of it, but the way the Bulldogs carried themselves in general throughout.
Georgia reignited things and made it a real rivalry again. The entire generation of Gator fans who were born from about 1980 on got to actually experience what used to happen. We knew that Steve Spurrier hated Georgia for a number of reasons, and we actually got to feel where that came from. But it wasn?t just Gator fans of Generation Y that the game was significant for.
When Urban Meyer came to UF, he did everything possible to embrace the school. He instituted the Gator Walk, started having the players sing the alma mater and fight song with the band after games, and even began referring to FSU solely as ?The School out West.? He tried his best to talk the talk and walk the walk.
However, he hadn?t fully lived the Gator experience in the way that Spurrier did or any of the fans do. How could he? He spent all of his life in the upper Midwest except for brief coaching stints at Colorado State and Utah. He heard that Tennessee, Georgia, and FSU were the big rivals so he talked about them and prepared for them as such. But did they have extra meaning? Probably some as time went on, but likely not to a significant degree.
The celebration last season changed that. Meyer now has a reason to hate Georgia like Spurrier did. Whether he can parlay that into an amazing streak of success is anyone?s guess. However, anecdotal reports from people who say they know players indicate that he?s not just been his normal intense self at practice this week. He?s angry, and that could make all the difference.
Most folks are predicting a shootout tomorrow. Those prognostications bring to my mind the stat that the 72 combined points of last year?s game are the highest total ever in the series. These two teams aren?t exactly known for producing shootouts.
In fact, ever notice how when two highly-ranked teams come together with good offenses and everyone predicts a high-scoring shootout it usually doesn?t materialize? It happens quite a lot outside of this year?s Big 12 (see: Texas 45 - Oklahoma 35, etc.). I just get the feeling that we?re about to see that effect happen.
I expect to see a close game throughout, with neither team taking more than about a 10-point lead and certainly no more than 14. I would also be surprised to see both teams break 30. They each have good offenses sure, but they each have good defenses too. As long as Florida keeps getting production from its defensive line and Georgia fixes the bad tackling from the LSU game, these two won?t have much trouble keeping the score from getting out of hand.
I?m driving down to the game from Charlotte and staying Saturday night in a place up in Nassau County that doesn?t have reliable cell phone signal, much less a good Internet connection. I?m driving back up on Sunday, so this will be my last transmission for the weekend. No matter who wins or loses it?s always a great time in Jacksonville, so I hope the game remains there for a long time into the future.
As long as Florida?s offensive line gives Tim Tebow time and the running backs holes, I would expect a Florida win. That scenario would ensure the Gators could keep up when the Bulldogs score and take advantage of the times when they don?t. The six sacks that Georgia got last season jump out the most of any defensive stats for the game.
If you press me for a prediction, I?ll say Florida takes it 31-26. By no means am I discounting Georgia though; its a great team that has earned its top ten ranking. I?ve just seen Florida make far more improvements than Georgia has made since last season, and it was a just a five-point game for much of the fourth quarter.
Go Gators!

Nice call on Florida. Did you grin during this game?
I was grinning after the Texas game. I'm now 1-1 against you when I don't like your plays. I took Florida as well for EASY money. Gators are probably the best team in the country right now.
