I predicted a Florida win, but only by 6 points. Even so, most people thought I was nuts.
Not anymore. It just goes to show you what a team can do when properly motivated and coached. Of course, the SEC does have a way of making Heisman Trophy winners look bad (Vinny Testaverde and Eddie George spring to mind.) so Troy Smith shouldn't feel too badly, although I don't see how he can feel good about less than 90 yards offense for the entire freakin' game!
Florida played a beautiful game of football tonight, totally demolishing the myth of the Big 10. IN the second half, the Gators went to a ball control ground and pound style of offense that should have given the advantage to OSU, but the Gators were able to beat the Buckeyes at their own game, and ground away 30 minutes of clock time without ever letting OSU mount a scoring threat.
I'll celebrate an SEC National Championship for the rest of the week, then it'll be time to get back to hating Florida. But until then, well done Florida!

Why oh why, can't Tennessee show that kind of spirit and determination? The defense chain was a brilliant idea that ralley their defense. I haven't seen that kind of kinship in Tennessee players since the National Championship.
