Its too bad they wont be able to get revenge for last year, at least if it stays like this. This is about normal. Somewhere along the way Chase Daniel forgot how to get first downs and it has been pretty bad ever since. ;.; | ||

i predict a UF trouncing of OU. florida's defense looked absolutely beastly today, and OU hasn't really faced a defense like that all season (the closest they came was vs. texas, who isn't even close to florida's level). unless OU's defense can take out tebow's kneecaps or crush his adam's apple on the 1st play or something, they won't be able to stop the gators. | ||

 . this game has the potential to be great, but it also has the potential to end up like OU's last NC game ;oUT's defense imo isn't as good as most people think it is. sure, they stopped OU (which was pretty much the only time all season anyone could keep them in check), but i'm wholly convinced that that was just a lucky game ;D. tbh i'm not really sure how they held up so well this year being so young and inexperienced, i guess will muschamp is a genius or something. like i said earlier, OU's offense can shoot with the best, but their defense to me leaves a bit to be desired (especially with reynolds out). if they can get stops against florida then i'll be really impressed. tonight's big 12 game was a joke though, asking a team whose defense is so bad to play against oklahoma is just mean :[ | ||
