Florida passes biggest road test with 3/4 of a Tebow


(1) Florida 13 - (4) LSU 3 : I just freaking glad Tebow-gate is over. I also love how the World Wide Leader dispatched reporter Tom Rinaldi down to Baton Rouge. F 'in A. I almost am just glad this thing is over.

But anyway, to the actual game. Because all the other players joined his holyness on the field to determine a winner. All I can say is that Florida's defense is suffocating. They exposed the sh*t out of a sputtering LSU offense. As we've seen this year, if LSU can't run the ball, LSU can't do anything. QB Jordan Jefferson never got in a rythm and was under constant pressure (sacked 5 times). LSU on the other hand couldn't get to Tebow all night as his O-line kept his jersey clean. Speaking of the Gators' offense RB Jeffery Demps gave the Gators some tough yards on the ground. With Tebow visibly limited in what Florida would call, Demps put together 16 carries for 86 yards. RB Emmanuel Moody also added some solid inside runs to take the pressure off of #15. In the passing game, there weren't a lot of fireworks, but TE Aaron Hernandez was a constant. He was the go to man when they needed a play through the air grabbing 6 balls for 70 yards. WR Riley Cooper had the big catch of the night with a 24 yard TD catch before the half ended.

In conclusion, Urban Meyer and his players did what they had to do with what they had. And what they have is a resilient QB, a solid running game, and a DAMN good defense. Make no question about it SuperTim, this Florida team is a DEFENSIVE football team. (I'm getting chills thinking about Florida's defense and Alabama's defense in the same game.)
