"Lucky" is not the right word for that or how we feel after last night. As to the injury problems, I said all last week right here that I would have preffered that you be at full strength because I'd like to beat you at your best.
As to the outcome of the game, I think it is more a sense of relief. We came away with a one point win and these were the critical numbers (in most games, anyway):
UF UT
1st downs 21 14
Total yards 338 224
Rushing 139 2
Turnovers 1 2
As I watched that game last night I just kept shaking my head because you guys led from the second and well into the fourth quarter despite these numbers. It was VERY frustrating to feel like the Gators were better, but managing to lose.
In fact, I was thinking to myself that I was going to end up coming on here and congratulating the crowd at Neyland as much as the UT team because it just was weird that we were behind so much of the game.
When Florida pulled it out, it felt like "Whew, we almost let one we ought to have won slip away."
