This has always been one of the worst excuses. It's like the SEC got together and said, "hey, if you guys get your ass kicked in a bowl game, make sure you fans collectively blame it on a lack of interest." I don't recall Oklahoma using that excuse when they got beat by Boise St or when Pitt was beaten by Utah. Must be another one of those "SEC things" we wouldn't understand? I don't expect anyone to understand. It is what it is. In BAMA's case they had just been 12-0, ranked #1 and were the leading #2 gators early in the fourth quarter of the SECCG. Losing that game and then hearing that you just went from playing for a national championship to playing a non-BCS (at the time) opponent affected the fans and the team. Hell no we didn't want to play Utah, but they damn sure were fired up to play BAMA. That's a recipe for disaster for any team. It's a terrible excuse, I agree with that. But it's exactly what happened in that game. I gave Utah credit for coming ready to play and I also berated the BAMA coaches for not getting the Tide mentally ready for Utah. We lost and we deserved to lose. is it a downer when an unbeaten team loses at the end of the season? absolutely. I think of osu in '95, losing at um and instead of going to Pasadena going to florida to play manning and the vols. tough to emotionally get back up to where you need to be to play a top notch opponent. bucks seemed flat... lost 20-14 in a monsoon. that is when coaching and team leadership amongst the players comes into play... and saban and his staff for whatever reason weren't able to get the job done. takes nothing away from Utah. they took advantage and ran with it. it's not just an sec thing... we just hear it more often from them when they lose.

Gatorzone Notebook On The Toledo Game:
By SCOTT CARTER GatorZone.com Senior Writer
GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Dominique Easley has been back for a while. The senior defensive tackle recovered in time to play 11 games last season following a torn ACL suffered in the 2011 regular-season finale against Florida State.
Still, it wasn't vintage Easley.
"At no point,'' Easley said. "My confidence was really messing me up."
Easley's knee was healthy enough to strap down and line up in those nasty SEC trenches, but he needed every snap to regain his confidence.
Easley finished the season with 26 tackles, 8 1/2 tackles for loss and four sacks. He expected more.
As a senior, he is demanding more.
"I want to leave my mark here,'' he said. "I want to be considered a Gator Great."
Easley was hard to miss in Saturday's 24-6 win over Toledo. He crashed into Toledo's backfield multiple times, including a fourth-and-1 play in the second quarter.
He finished with three tackles and three quarterback hurries.
As the most vocal leader of Florida's defense, Easley's goal is to set a high standard for the younger players to follow. The Gators featured nine new starters on defense against Toledo.
"When your number is called, you've got to step up,'' Easley said. "There never is a time when you are not ready. I'm just trying to let them know that."
Easley looked ready for his senior season on Saturday.
SHOWERS ADDS SPICE
Gators coach Will Muschamp has watched redshirt sophomore Valdez Showers closely during Showers' time in the program.
A former safety at Georgia who often spends a portion of practice coaching the safeties, Muschamp had Showers in that group until moving him to offense this fall in the absence of running back Matt Jones.
Showers showed why Saturday. He caught four passes and had two runs for 31 yards, including a 29-yard run.
Muschamp wasn't surprised.
"He’s different than what we have. He's a top-end speed guy,'' Muschamp said. "He's really special with the ball in his hands. He’s a guy who was going to be in the rotation of guys at the safety position, but just felt it was a good move for our football team to put him on offense."
TIMELY INTERCEPTION
Freshman defensive back Vernon Hargreaves III showed off his playmaking skills in the third quarter with his first career interception.
Florida led 17-6 when Hargreaves picked off a pass by Toledo quarterback Terrance Owens on third-and-9 from Toledo's 24. Hargreaves returned the interception 15 yards to Toledo's 23.
Five plays later, Gators quarterback Jeff Driskel connected with fullback Gideon Ajagbe for a 4-yard touchdown for Florida's final score.
Hargreaves arrived at UF over the summer as one of the nation's top recruits following a prolific career at Wharton High in Tampa. He had made a favorable impression prior to Saturday's interception.
"There was going to be no conversation about putting him in the game,'' Muschamp said. "Vernon is a really good player. I like the guys who go and compete in practice every day. When I turn on the film they're productive. They play against good players and they go against those guys and don't back down against anybody.
"The game comes easy to him, and he still works hard at it. He's up in our office all the time watching tape. It’s easy to play guys like him."
HARDIN DEBUTS
Redshirt freshman kicker Austin Hardin was unveiled as Florida's starting kicker Saturday. Hardin's assignment: to replace Caleb Sturgis, arguably the best kicker in school history.
Hardin's debut was 50/50. He made a 24-yard field goal on his first attempt and missed a 39-yarder on his second attempt. Hardin connected on his three PATs.
Hardin left the stadium in good spirits after his debut.
"I thought I hit the [39]-yarder really well with good distance and height,'' he said. "That's going to happen. I was was ready to move on and if they would have called a field goal again I would have been ready to go out and hit another one."
INJURY REPORT
Muschamp said starting left tackle D.J. Humphries sat out the fourth quarter with a sprained MCL, adding that he expects Humphries to be ready for Saturday's game at Miami.
QUOTE OF NOTE I
"I'm disappointed we missed a couple [plays] down the field. We had some shots and very disappointed we didn't hit those. But those are going to come. I've seen those all through camp. That's going to happen for us.'' -- Muschamp on making more big plays offensively
QUOTE OF NOTE II
"I don't listen to him. He probably never played football.'' -- Easley when asked if the Gators drew any motivation from ESPN analyst Kirk Herbstreit picking against them on national TV. Easley chuckled when told Herbstreit played quarterback at Ohio State, and Herbstreit later tweeted, "Florida…I'm sorry. Nice win. Looked impressive. Beat a good team."
QUOTE OF NOTE III
"It was amazing to see everybody jacked up. I'm just happy to have the opportunity to catch both of those balls. I was ready for it." -- Ajagbe on his two receptions in the third quarter, including a 4-yard touchdown catch
NOTES AND NUGGETS
Eight players made their first career starts Saturday: left guard Max Garcia, right tackle Tyler Moore, running back Mack Brown, receiver Solomon Patton, nose tackle Leon Orr, safety Marcus Maye, linebacker Brian Poole and Ajagbe at fullback ... The Gators improved to 65-6 all-time in season openers at home ... Toledo was 1-for-13 on third-down conversions ... Gators quarterback Jeff Driskel's 77.3 percent completion rate Saturday (17 of 22) was the highest for a Florida QB since Tim Tebow went 31 of 35 (88.6 percent) in his final game for Florida in 2010 Sugar Bowl ... Mack Brown became the fifth player to rush for 100 yards since Muschamp took over program, joining Jeff Demps, Chris Rainey, Mike Gillislee and Jeff Driskel ... Receiver Trey Burton tied his career high with five catches for a career-best 69 yards.

Pat Dooley grades the Gators - I'd differ with Pat in that I gave the offense a B instead of a C+. The offensive stats support a B grade. The overall B is probably right for an opener: www.gatorsports.com/article/20130831/ARTICLES/130839907&tc=ixOFFENSE C+ First half: Mack Brown had a great half and Jeff Driskel completed 10 of his 11 passing attempts. The only incompletion was a pass caught out of the back of the end zone. Second half: Florida’s second-half start was as bad as their first-half start was good. Will Muschamp said he was “disappointed” in the offense after halftime. For the game: Florida didn’t show a lot because it didn’t want to put the defense in a bad situation. This was a game where the Gators did only what was necessary. DEFENSE A- First half: Florida’s revamped defense may have been missing two starters due to suspension, but the Gators came out with a lot of energy and limited Toledo to 101 total yards. Second half: Toledo hit some plays, but the interception by Vernon Hargreaves III was big and they only allowed three second-half points. For the game: Considering two starters were out and UF lost so much from last year, that was a stout showing by this young defense against a good offensive team. SPECIAL TEAMS B First half: Austin Hardin made his first field goal attempt, which was good to see. Marcus Roberson had a couple of nice punt returns. Second half: Roberson looks like he may be a big-time punt returner this year. The badly missed field goal by Hardin was not a good sign. For the game: Roberson finished with 72 punt return yards and Solomon Patton had a 31-yard kickoff return. The only real blemish was the missed field goal. OVERALL B The Gators extended their streak of opening-day wins to 24 with a performance that was not overwhelming but efficient. Next week it starts to get interesting.

UF depth chart for the candy canes: www.gatorzone.com/football/stats/depth.pdfGatorzone updates the depth chart on this link from time to time. It's updated most of the time on the Monday before the game. They tend to get lazy about updating as the season progresses, but it can usually be found in the pregame notes as well. The pregame note depth chart is actually the depth chart used for Toledo.

The Gators are as healthy as they are going to be for Miami:
By Robbie Andreu Staff writer
Published: Wednesday, September 4, 2013 at 11:49 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, September 4, 2013 at 11:49 a.m.
After getting hit with multiple injuries in preseason camp, the Florida Gators are regaining their health. They will be close to full strength for Saturday’s game at Miami, UF coach Will Muschamp said Wednesday.
“Since the start of camp, this is probably as healthy as we’ve been,” Muschamp said.
Muschamp said defensive tackle Dominique Easley (flu) returned to practice Tuesday and that offensive tackle D.J. Humphries (sprained knee) was returning to practice Wednesday. The only starter out for Saturday’s game is offensive guard Jon Halapio (partially torn pectoral), who is scheduled to return for the Sept. 21 Tennessee game.
“We should be good to go heading into Saturday’s game,” Muschamp said. “Jon Halapio will be the only one who is a starter who will not play Saturday.”
Humphries sprained his knee in the opener last Saturday and did not practice Monday or Tuesday. Easley missed Monday’s practice with the flu.
Three players are out for the season. Wide receiver Andre Debose and linebacker Matt Rolin recently underwent ACL surgery, while starting right tackle Chaz Green recently underwent shoulder surgery.
“We’re disappointed we’re missing those guys right now, but we’re pretty healthy going (into Saturday’s game) ,” Muschamp said.

By Chris Harry GatorZone.com Senior Writer
GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- The Florida Gators won their season opener over a scrappy Mid-America Conference opponent by double-digits, yet there was UF offensive coordinator Brent Pease on the defensive amid criticism -- from the press, the talk-radio waves and fan site message boards -- about the lack of splashy, highlight-reel plays.
“This is a growing process. I want it to be more than what it is right now,” Pease said just one week into the regular season. “You are always going to see different things. I want to be more productive. I want to be better on third downs. I want to score more points. We need to create more first downs. I want to be more balanced in run and pass. Is that all going to happen in the first game?”
Those remarks, by the way, came almost one year ago to the day -- Sept. 4, 2012 -- in the wake of a 24-14 defeat of Bowling Green, which happened to be Pease’s first game as UF’s coordinator.
Now, here’s a sample of what he had to say a few hours ago, as he dissected his unit’s performance in a 24-6 victory over Toledo, another MAC opponent, three days earlier.
“Did we have to stretch the field at a certain point in time? No. Did we have it in the game plan? Yes,” Pease said Tuesday, after the Gators tallied 415 yards, including 262 on the ground, to kick off the season. “I’m not sure what everybody wants.”
Oh yes, he is.
Face it, everybody wants fireworks that have been synonymous with Florida football for a larger part of two decades.
The Gators didn’t fire rockets against the Rockets. They didn’t light up the scoreboard or cause collective “Oooooooohs” and “Ahhhhhhhs” to echo throughout Florida Field.
They just won.
And they did it the way Coach Will Muschamp felt they needed to against a Toledo team that came south hoping to control tempo, possess the ball for long periods of time and be in the game in the fourth quarter.
“We wanted to run the ball because of what they do offensively,” Muschamp said.
That’s not to say the same approach will be taken when the 12th-ranked Gators (1-0) head to South Florida this weekend to renew their dormant rivalry Saturday with a high-noon showdown against the cross-state foe Miami Hurricanes (1-0) at Sun Life Stadium.
“We’re capable of doing a lot more than maybe what we showed out there,” senior wide receiver Trey Burton said. “But we’re also more worried about winning games than how many points we score.”
That’s the standard line, but there will come a time -- maybe Saturday, but certainly down the line in SEC play -- when the Gators will have to stretch the field in order to generate more balance.
In the interim, Pease pointed to some statistical numbers to diffuse the chatter that mirrored reaction after his debut game a season ago.
•UF gained 50 more yards than its opener last season, with nine so-called “explosive” plays , which constitute runs of at least 12 yards and pass completions of 16 or more. •The Gators were 6-for-12 (50 percent) on third versus 5-for-16 (31.2 percent) against Bowling Green. •Florida quarterback Jeff Driskel completed 77 percent of his passes. That figure was 62 last year. •UF went 3-for-3 on third-and-1 situations, compared to 1-for-10 in third- or fourth-and-2-or-less against Bowling Green. •The Gators took possession of the ball with 6:49 to play and ran out the clock on the Toledo 4-yard line, putting an exclamation point on a 2-for-1 time-of-possession ratio (39:48 to 20:12).
It may not have been what UF fans wanted to see, but the end result was effective.
“There’s potential for us to do a lot more, for sure,” senior center Jon Harrison said. “By choice, Coach Pease chose not to throw the ball so much and establish the run, instead. This is our second year together. We trust him. So whatever he has in mind for a game, that’s what we’ll do. It worked.”
That’s not to say Pease left the stadium Saturday night overjoyed with how the Gators performed. There were missed opportunities downfield, including a dropped pass from Solomon Patton that would have gone for a big gain. There were two sacks, both of which resulted in Driskel fumbles (one lost). Looking back, a few more first-down passes (just eight of 30 in those situations) may have generated more balance.
Maybe. Turns out, things worked out just fine.
Somewhere between Saturday’s win and Tuesday’s meeting with reporters, though, Pease heard a certain word attached to his game plan that conjures up a definite connotation; a not-so-flashy one.
Vanilla.
Left a bad taste in his mouth.
“I’ve never made a game plan from vanilla,” Pease said. “And I would feel too uncomfortable saying, ‘We’ve got to save this, save that.’ ”
Said Driskel: “We pretty much wanted to run the ball and that’s what we did. That really doesn’t change week to week. We’ve always got to run the ball. We did some things with some zone-read [option] stuff. We did some naked [bootlegs], some drop-backs, some empty [backfield], so I didn’t think it was too basic. We just didn’t have too many vertical plays because the defense was so loose.”
There’s no reason to think the UF objective won’t be the same this week; not against a Hurricanes defense that ranked 112th in the nation in stopping the run last season, allowing 217 rushing yards per game.
UM went into the season looking for huge improvements on defense. In its 34-6 defeat over Florida Atlantic, the Hurricanes surrendered 133 yards rushing, but on 43 carries; only about 3.1 per pop.
The Florida ground assault -- 262 yards against Toledo, without starting tailback Matt Jones, who will make his season debut this week -- figures to be a different challenge.
“We were missing some key components and we still moved the ball,” Harrison said. “Some of those components are starting to get back now.”
Plus, the Gators have wrinkles to throw off play-action -- whether it’s Jones or Mack Brown (112 yards vs. Toledo) -- that weren’t on display against the Rockets because the game’s tenor did not necessitate them.
“I’m not measuring [success] on yards,” Pease said. “That’s called trying to get your ‘guru’ card. Maybe when I was 30 years old, but I’m not 30 years old anymore.”
Along the way, he’s taken a liking to many flavors.
Not just vanilla.
“I’m starting to understand the methods to Coach Pease’s madness recently,” Harrison said. “It’s all starting to make sense.”
He smiled.
“And it’s not for me to disclose.”

Interesting story, but I'll believe the Gators are dynamic on offense when I see it.
Although I still think you beat the Canes.

If UF wins the turnover battle again this season, the sky is the limit for the team. It's early, but Jameis looks like the next real deal QB who is going to lose to the Gators.

The Florida - Georgia Hall of Fame:
Gator alums Jevon Kearse and Lindy Infante have been selected as the University of Florida’s inductees to the City of Jacksonville’s Florida/Georgia Hall of Fame, the City of Jacksonville Sports and Entertainment Office announced today.
Kearse, a dynamic outside linebacker, played for the Gators from 1995-98, winning the 1996 National Championship during his red-shirt freshman season. A two-time All-SEC honoree and the 1998 AP SEC Defensive Player of the Year, Kearse tallied a pair of tackles and a sack in the Gators dominating 38-7 victory over Georgia during his final season with the Orange and Blue.
Infante, a letterwinner for the Gators from 1960-62 and a Florida assistant coach from 1966-71, was inducted into the University of Florida Athletic Hall of Fame in 1988. During Infante’s three years as a running back, the Gators went a perfect 3-0 against Georgia.
Kearse and Infante, along with Peter Anderson and Matt Stinchcomb from the University of Georgia, will be recognized at the Hall of Fame inductee ceremony commemorating the historic rivalry between the two programs on Friday, Nov. 1 in the West Club at EverBank Field. For more information on getting tickets to the luncheon, call the City of Jacksonville Sports & Entertainment Office at (904) 630-3600.

If UF wins the turnover battle again this season, the sky is the limit for the team. It's early, but Jameis looks like the next real deal QB who is going to lose to the Gators. Well, I'm not sure they could be much worse. But if the same squad that showed up against Toledo is there all season, there won't be any excuses for the piss poor offense. As I said in the other thread...it is only the first game. There is always the best improvement from game 1 to game 2. But you're fulla shit if you're saying with a straight face that you aren't the least bit concerned about the offense. You mention the turnover battle. You act like that's a foregone conclusion. I'm not sure about that. You guys were +15 last year, which is absolutely outstanding. The year before, you were -12. Considering you were #8 in defense in 2011 and #5 in 2012. On offense, #104 last year, and #105 in 2011. The main difference is the turnovers. Between 11-2 and 7-6. Turnovers, to a certain extent....are gained with luck. Any team in the country who has a +15 turnover ratio is poised for success. You can't really "expect" that sort of ratio. If you guys end up with a 0 ratio, and stay with the formula of a top 10 defense and a bottom 10 offense, you'll be 9-4.

TYHNC, did you watch the Toledo game? If so, tell me about what you saw in UF's first possession drive for a TD.
Your piss poor offense and bottom 10 offense remarks lead me to believe you didn't watch the game. I think per normal that your anti Gator nolie glasses are a bit too thick.
IF UF played in the ACC, we'd be 12-0.

There isn't much going on in recruiting right now. It should pick up again with Tennessee week. Zach's recruiting mail bag from the Gainesville Sun:
September 5th, 2013 12:00pm
Zach’s Mail Stack 9/5
by Zach Abolverdi
I only received a few questions this week for the Mail Stack, which I guess is understandable.
Now that college football has started, I’m chopped liver. No hard feelings, though.
The Evaluation Period began Sept. 1, so recruiting should start heating up as coaches hit the road for high school football and recruits return the favor by attending some games. The Tennessee weekend should be a doozy for Florida.
If you’ve been too busy taking part in #MiamiHateWeek and didn’t get a chance to read my in-depth feature on UF secondary coach Travaris Robinson, be sure to check it out HERE. He’s a guy all Gator fans should get to know, especially with the UM on the schedule this week.
On to the questions!
Do you think WR Speedy Noil and DL Gerald Willis end up in UF’s class? Heard they both wanted to attend the same school. — Ryan, Gary Alan Poe, Uncle Willie Sam
The teammates from New Orleans (La.) Edna Karr tweeted Tuesday that they want to attend the same college, and both have Florida, Southern Cal and Texas A&M as their three finalists. Many in the recruiting world still feel there’s a good chance they eventually end up at LSU, especially with Willis’ mother, April Justin, in the picture. She is infamous for disagreeing with the decision of her eldest son, safety Landon Collins, to attend Alabama over LSU during his announcement on ESPN at the Under Armour All-America Game in 2012.
If the Tigers are indeed out of the mix, this will be a battle between the Aggies and the Gators. At this time, Texas A&M likely has the edge over UF because of the distance factor. But the consensus top-100 prospects will officially visit Sept. 21 for the Tennessee game, and this will be Florida’s chance to make a move for them. The Gators haven’t signed a prep prospect from Louisiana in more than a decade.
Are the Gators a serious contender for Damian Prince and does it affect David Sharpe in any way? — Devin, Nate
On Tuesday, 247Sports reported the five-star offensive tackle would officially visit for the Florida State game. That news was later refuted on Twitter by Rivals.com Mid-Atlantic recruiting analyst Adam Friedman, who said Prince and his father told him the trip was not set up yet.
Regardless, UF doesn’t appear to be in contention for Prince. If he goes to a school in Florida, it will most likely be FSU. That being said, in-state Maryland has the edge for him in my opinion.
As for Sharpe, I doubt he’s affected by anyone in regards to the Gators because he’s the top offensive tackle target on their board and is well aware of it. He attended the Clemson-Georgia game and is considering another trip to South Carolina on Saturday, this time to see the Gamecocks host UGA. I think Florida remains the front-runner for him, but the ‘Dawgs and Tigers are going to be a threat.
Of the key prospects we are looking at, which if any are going to wait until national signing day to announce? — Conky3000
Five-star defensive end Lorenzo Carter and five-star athlete Adoree’ Jackson are the only two I know of right now. There are a handful a prospects who have an idea of when they’ll commit but haven’t set an exact date.
Here are the UF targets who plan to announce at the All-American games:
RB Joe Mixon (Army) WR Travis Rudolph (Under Armour) LB Clifton Garrett (Army) LB Raekwon McMillan (Under Armour) LB Dwight Williams (Army) CB Jalen Tabor (Under Armour)
That’s all for this week! Be sure to put your questions for the next mailbag in the comment section below!

Your piss poor offense and bottom 10 offense remarks lead me to believe you didn't watch the game. I think per normal that your anti Gator nolie glasses are a bit too thick. IF UF played in the ACC, we'd be 12-0. Did I watch the game? No. I listened to parts of it on the radio. But I don't need to watch the game to look at a stat box, the play-by-play list, and also refer to more than a handful of analysts who know more than I do who are saying the same thing. They must all have an anti-UF bias as well, right? You guys threw for 153 yards. If you averaged that all season long, you would rank #117 in the nation in 2012. Wanna know who finished #118 in passing offense last season? The mighty University of Florida. Your longest pass completion was 26 yards. That's not much. Your leading receiver had 5 catches for 69 yards. As for the first possession drive for a TD, what do you want me to say? Driskell threw 3 passes. 8 runs. I never said you couldn't run the ball. I said your offense needed to show improvement from last season. So far, they haven't...it's the same product you put on the field last year. But, it is only the first game. Tons of time for improvement. Later on this year, you're going to play teams who are better than #82 in rushing defense. You are going to HAVE to throw the ball to win. UF showed absolutely nothing with regard to whether they have the ability or the playmakers to stretch the field. Now, could they be playing coy, and holding back until they come up against a team with a better defense? Sure. As I said..time will tell. But Ray Charles can see that so far, you still haven't shown that your offense is vastly improved from last year. And he isn't a Nole either, far as I know.

They must all have an anti-UF bias as well, right? You guys threw for 153 yards. If you averaged that all season long, you would rank #117 in the nation in 2012. Wanna know who finished #118 in passing offense last season? The mighty University of Florida. Your longest pass completion was 26 yards. That's not much. Your leading receiver had 5 catches for 69 yards. As for the first possession drive for a TD, what do you want me to say? Driskell threw 3 passes. 8 runs. I never said you couldn't run the ball. I said your offense needed to show improvement from last season. So far, they haven't...it's the same product you put on the field last year. But, it is only the first game. Tons of time for improvement. Later on this year, you're going to play teams who are better than #82 in rushing defense. You are going to HAVE to throw the ball to win. UF showed absolutely nothing with regard to whether they have the ability or the playmakers to stretch the field. Now, could they be playing coy, and holding back until they come up against a team with a better defense? Sure. As I said..time will tell. But Ray Charles can see that so far, you still haven't shown that your offense is vastly improved from last year. And he isn't a Nole either, far as I know. Well, Champion Douche 2012, I did watch the game. Even with the missing players, starting RB and starting OL, it was easy to see the higher ceiling for this team than last year. The first possession drive was a thing of perfection and an indication of things to come. Your piss poor offense and bottom 10 remarks have been forwarded to be placed in file 13 where they belong. I also watched bama vs VT very closely. The tahd is the team that has offensive concerns trying to develop chemistry/experience starting 3 new OL. Damned if AJ McCarron didn't look a lot like Johnny Brantley without an all-world OL in front of him. Georgia? Exactly what I thought they would be. FSU? To Be Determined. At least that's better credit than you are giving UF's O.
