All is Right in the State of Florida

Florida 45 Kentucky 37

So the battle of the big dogs (QBs) is over.

Final stats:
Andre' Woodson - 415 yds, 5 tds, loss
Tim Tebow (Me) - 256 yds passing & 4 TDs, 78 yds rushing & 1 TD, victory

Both performances, have put us at the top of most Heisman polls at the moment. But honestly I'd rather be in Atlanta than in New York come December, so I don't really think about it at all. It's out of my hands, a sophomore has never won the award and I doubt the voters will change that trend this year.

That last item in the stat line is the most important. We won. And now things are back to normal. We handed Kentucky their 21st straight loss against us. Now we control our own destiny in our goal to win the SEC. If we win the rest of our games, we'll be in Atlanta playing in the SEC Championship Game.

A couple other things also happened over the weekend, things that straightened things out in the state of Florida. The new kids on the block USF lost to Rutgers (more on them later) and dropped from #2 down to #11. Also in a battle for 4th place in the state, FSU and Miami played in Tallahassee. It was the first time since 1977 that both teams were not ranked when the game was played. Once again FSU choked and Miami won 37 to 29. So that puts Florida right back where we belong as tops in this talent rich state of football. USF got knocked down a couple pegs after talking some surprising smack when they made it up to #2.
1. University of Florida
2. University of South Florida
3. University of Miami
4. Florida State University.
