I can say with some certainty that I will not be the only student writing about this weekend's UF football game. I have to say, as devastating as a loss as it should have been to me, and as disappointed as i would normally be after such a game, I didn't feel all that bad. Maybe it's because I saw the writing on the wall pretty early. I mean they jumped out to a 13 point lead early, and although we fought back and took a lead, we never seemed in control, and turnovers were a huge issue much as they have been all season, and this led to our downfall. Perhaps I wasn't that upset because I couldn't remember the majority of the game, but that's a different story.

It was definitely sad to watch the Gators come out on top, but they have a good team this year, and I have to respect that as a fan of college football. I still firmly believe that our team is much more talented position by position, and that on paper we should have been the favorite. But we were out-coached, and outplayed, and overall just did not perform at a high enough level to overcome the tough defense that UF brings to every game. Their offense is weak, but 5 turnovers made it somewhat of a breeze for them to put 37 points on the board. All in all, I left the game feeling like we were just beat, whether by ourselves or by the other team. I tipped my cap to them, and got over it pretty quickly. The most difficult part of the game to swallow was probably the injury to Tank Carradine, one of my favorite players and one of the key players on our defense. We should still roll over Georgia Tech and go to the Orange Bowl, but it certainly doesn't help to be missing him.
