Florida vs Auburn

Why is everyone counting out Spurrier? If nothing else he has always proved that he can win when it's least expected, i.e. he and his teams are unpredictable. I have Florida beating Auburn much to my chagrin, but it I were them I wouldnt count out spurrier, he may be just as much of a threat as Auburn or Georgia, just because at USC he has become a snake in the grass.

You are correct LG Florida was clearly the better team, but IMO Florida was just as lucky. For all of the dominance, had UT kept their offensive foot to the pedal, there is a chance they win the game.

what were you saying about annoying Florida fans earlier? Wasn't it that they didn't appreciate when they escaped with a win?

IMO, "dominated" is too strong a word. I will concede, as I think all reasonably astute Vol fans would that, in some areas, we were out-muscled. I think UF played the better game overall and, despite some abhorrent officiating, deserved to win. Implicit I think in the post you were responding to is that the Vols are clearly surging right now and are a lot closer to realizing the potential that was there all of last year and again this year. We are gelling mucho, have improved even in the few weeks since the Florida game, and if we played again now, I believe Tennessee would make a much stronger showing. Not to take anything away from UF; they're unbeaten, very strong and deserve to be where they are. For fun's sake, I will caution you though not to get too comfy at the no. 2 spot - the Vols are sneaking up behind, and if/when the Gators slip, maybe the Vols will wave courteously as they walk on by you in the polls. :p

c'mon lawgator. dominated???? Ainge took (yes took) a couple of bad sacks that changed the game. the ut passing game was moving the ball as efficiently as necessary to win the game.

Cutcliffe had a couple of series when he went into classic fulmer retrograde style conservatism and lost momentum. the big sack on the final drive was the difference and I know you were very uncomfortable with your pass D.

I'm betting that during the game, domination was not a part of your thinking or lexicon. I am certain that you would not like to play us again with Foster and Coker both healthy, even with our beaten up defense. We have no reason to run the ball at your strength, when our strength is pass blocking and big wide receivers. We will not again see cutcliffe resort to the retrograde garbage unless the game is out of reach. Teams may beat us in the future, but they will do so by scoring more than 21.

Totally different and in fact quite the opposite. LSU played Florida much closer than did UT. Just as Florida got a lot of breaks to prevail this past Saturday, UT caught a lot to make it as close versus Florida as it was.

Right now, I have to tell you that I think LSU beats you pretty handily.

Right. But what I'm saying is that I DON'T want to play LSU again because the two teams are so evenly matched in Game One that that the result could be different. The difference is that I feel that UT, having been fortunate to play Florida so close given the overall performance, ought not want to play Florida again as the result would probably be much more lopsided towards UF.

Just saying those that want another shot at UF need to realize that, at the end of the year, when the final decisions are being made as to bowls, a one point loss to Florida will seem pretty good compared to what it could have been.

UT should've won that game 23-21 after a game-winning FG by Wilhoit. You have no idea what you're talking about.

If the game were in Red Stick I might just climb in that boat with you LG.

To UT's credit, I saw a few things Saturday night that made me think this offense is actually evolving, and getting better every week. I am not crying over spilt milk. You and I both agree that UT was outmatched in the Florida game. I honestly think the LSU defense will have more problems matching up against the Vols than they did against Florida. This is a different offense than Florida saw three weeks ago.

You have got to be kidding. If we are going to play the "should have" game, you "should have" lost by 2-3 touchdowns, the way Florida beat the living daylights out of your offensive line.

Don't misunderstand. I'm not saying UT isn't a lot better, coming together, etc. But you can only judge it from the way the teams played back then, not what would happen if we played this week or in a month.

I take it you didn't watch the UT/GA game when UT put up 50 on GA? GA was the no. 2 scoring defense at the time.

I think Ainge had a bad game against Fl. If he would have played like that vs Florida it would have been lights out.
