    Anybody think UT is capable of getting a win in the Swamp?

    I don't based on three things.

    Over the last 17 meetings, the team that has won 15 of those 17 meetings is the one with the most rushing yards. I see that as a huge advantage for UF.

    Secondly, I see the LB's biting a lot on the QB play action with Tebow. He's been putting up some good numbers passing because he's been able to freeze the pass coverage with a little stutter step forward, then passing. The split second has allowed the WR's to get some great seperation. NOW, this point isn't as big as the other considering who UF has played.

    Ainge is still learning that new hurry up type of offense. Given time, they'll do well with it. I bit to early, if you ask me.

    I happen to like the Vols more so than any other SEC team (excluding us of course), and while my heart just CAN'T root for the Gators, my head tells me Florida will pull out with a "W"--and I wouldn't be surprised if the game got ugly (i.e. Florida winning by more than 2 TD's).

    I just don't see the same "swagger" from the Vols like they've had in year's past. They don't seem to play well as a team the past few seasons (and their SEC record the last 3 years shows that). UT had been a power in the SEC in the late '90's and the early part of this decade, but I feel that they are feeding off of their past in the eyes of the national media because I don't feel that they are very good right now.

    UT is playing a boat-load of new guys at skill positions and Ainge seems to be a less-publicized version of Brady Quinn where he just plays terrible against top competition.

    The only way UT wins this game is by forcing turnovers and getting their running game going against Florida's inexperienced defense.

    If Tebow connects on big pass plays, then it can be over early....

    Like I said, I ALWAYS have a hart time rooting for Florida and a potential matchup of top 5 teams on Oct. 6th in Tiger Stadium should garner national attention, I KNOW that come gametime tonight, I'll likely be Vol-orange biased...

    is it just me, or does the clothing of the the florida staff, on the field tending the injury, make them look like dominos pizza employees?

    Tebow is just too good for UT.
