    Wow, the first thought of this game is how we dominated this game but turned the ball over 5 times and still won 21-17.
    All of Fla's points came off of turnovers and most with a short field.
    Our defense was #3 in the country then and is #1 now.
    People were also questioning how good our D was since we had played teams like Vandy the week before.
    JR probably had his worst game as a tiger and we still won, had fumble and 2 ints, Addai and Vincent fumbled.

    WE always seem to play BADLY against the Gators for some reason but I think this year will be different especially after our game in the Swamp and Gators winning it all last year.

    I really do think that if we don't turn the ball over we can win this game big but I am cautiously optimistic.
    I think tomorrows game will come out similar offensively and defensively.
    A question comes to mind, Is Fla better than they were in 2005?
    What about LSU?
    I personally think its a wash.

    I do think some Gator fans are delusional about this game after last year or maybe they have a right to be since we play like crap against Fla.

    I'm inclined to agree, but rankings mean nothing during game time.

    Nothing illustrated that to me more vividly than the first half of the Tulane game.
