Gators Embarrass 'Noles Again - '07 Version

Last night at The Swamp the Gators utterly anihilated the 'Noles 45-12. The much maligned UF "D" (I, Joaq, hereby plead guilty), kept the 'Noles from scoring a single touchdown. If it weren't for their terrific kicker (Cismesia nailed a 60 yarder), the 'Noles would have been completely shut out. The Gators, on the other hand, scored at will. Tebow had five touchdowns, two rushing and three passing for total 352 personal yards, bringing his season record to 51 touchdowns. The most impressive score was in the first quarter when Tebow dropped back to pass and the 'Noles blitzed. A 'Nole LB came straight at Tebow, unblocked, at high speed and wrapped his arms around him in what appeared to be a prelude to a perfect sack. But instead of going down, Tebow shook him off like rag doll, sending him flying off to the side (Blocker? I don't need no stinkin' blocker). Tebow then took off toward the endzone shaking off another five 'Nole defenders on the way before shoving the ball into the end zone. The Gators ended with 541 total yards --about twice what the 'Nole got. Trash talking 'Nole LB Geno Hayes who boasted before the game that he would "take Tebow down" and "shatter his dreams" never even got close to Tebow. He did, however, come close to taking down a 62 year old AP sports writer who tried to ask him a question after the game (see sidebar).
