I am just amazed with Florida tonight, but am spooked by the past. This is an amazing team, but OSU is OSU. I expect them to come back.

Florida has the ball to start the second half. Meyer believes that the first five minutes of the third quarter are the most important five minutes of the game. Watch for him to pull out all the stops on the first drive to go up 41-14.

If he does that and the Florida defense stays fired up (they held the Buckeyes to 65 total yards the first half), Florida's going to win this game.

Ohio State has 65 yards total offense the first half.

Yeah ... if I were the Ohio coach I would demand that the players (during half time) strip off all the idiotic buckeye (proficiency?) stickers from their helmets. Their opponents don't display them and are kicking butt ... big time.

OSU has two completed passes.

Florida has SIX different receivers that have caught a pass.

I'm thinking a great second half.

Momentum changes, and it can sometimes change very quickly.

Thank G-d for ESPN so I could see the finish 20 times the next day.

Maybe. They were so two-faced last year. For an entire month they were telling us USC was the "best college football team ever" and then when Texas won, they started talking about how Vince was God.

They've been giving OSU the Monica treatment all season and now, after tonight, they'll talk like they thought it was Florida all along. Keep in mind they all wanted to see USC or Michigan again in this one, not the Gators.

Long way to go. We need to keep it up! Take this opening 3rd quarter drive and ram it down their throats.

Personally, I think that last TD wrapped it up, but another TD on the opening drive in the third will seal the deal. Like I was saying earlier, the Florida D is going to pin their ears back and go after Troy Smith with everything they've got in the second half. And Ohio State is going to get a firsthand introduction to SEC speed...

4. Boise State
5. Ohio State
6. Louisville
7. Wisconsin
8. Michigan

--OSU has two completed passes.--

Didn't Troy win some kind of award this year?

OSU cannot be that bad for the whole game. They are too good for that. A really big benefit for Florida, however, is that their defense should still be pretty fresh.

What UF has been able to do, however, is keep the OSU Defense out on the field and tire them out.

That's the killer right there. If OSU is going to have a prayer in this, they're going to have to come out strong in the second half, right out of the gate, and force Florida into a couple of three-and-outs, or better yet force a couple of turnovers deep in Florida territory and score quickly.

If they can't stop the Gators right off, their defense won't have anything left at all, and the Gators will romp in the fourth quarter.

Notice how the announcers forget to mention that it is #1 "ranked" and #2 "ranked" teams.

Like they are still holding out that Florida should just give up, they are playing against the #1 team you know.

"Maybe Florida will win the toss and elect to kick again. Who is this Florida coach. It's as if he's from Ohio."

You mean the Florida coach getting sized for a ring at halftime right now?
