After the big weekend for the Gators...

The Good
The Gators continue to win in football. It seems like the gators play up to the competition or play down to the competition. I'll take 21-14 over an out of conference rival. Chris leak's senior leadership pulled us through the game. When our offensive coordinator, Dan Mullen finally decided to let Leak throw the ball we dove the field. Sometimes Mullen should just use traditional formations, they work too.

Percy Harvin and Andre Caldwell were also different makers. Both have the same speed and break away skills. They fit the same mold. Good to hear Percy Harvin is okay after that hit. Did anyone see the dirty hit on Jarvis Moss' legs? That could have been bad, I'm glad he wasn't affected.

Percy also looked good in Gus Malzahn's wildcat formation. Straight shot right to the endzone.

The Bad
Although the Gator basketball team didn't beat Kansas, we fought hard. Sending it into overtime was a miracle in itself. With all the turnovers and sloppy play, two miracles could not happen in one night.

Gators go to work. You're not invincible. You now know what to work on. Lets see improvement in the next couple games.


The ugly
First off, Notre Dame looked bad. That team just sucks. Thanks Notre Dame, can't win any big games. I'm sure you will lose your bowl game. Gator fans are hating you right now.

The Taurean Green and Corey Brewer turnovers in the final seconds also were ugly.
Those killed the team and the fans watching. As bad as some of your plays were you still had a chance to win. I hope this loss stings. Use this as motivation when tough competition comes up in the future.

Random Notes
- Refs need to see a block when it's a block and not call a foul for every slight tap by the Gator big men. Some of the "fouls" were ridiculous. The refs sure knew how to hurt the Gators in that pro-Kansas environment. Kansas come on down to the O'Dome and see what happens.

- Green and Lee also had some pretty threes, but no more air balls by the defending national champions!

Florida has shown its only weakness are Corey Brewer and Taurean Green in the clutch. Brewer was wide open for 3 to win the game and missed, not to mention the sloppy play and turnovers. That cant happen if the gators hope to repeat. Hopefully, that will change by March. Brewer seems to be improving and the gators can only get better from here. Sucks to lose the #1 ranking, but an early season loss will only help the gators in the end.
