re: I couldn't even finish watching that game

I thought the defense was fine against FSU and Alabama. They just threw in the towel at the end of both games. Hard to blame them with this offense.

Edit - OK, let me look at this in numbers just in case:

Ark - 49 car - 223 yards 4.55 YPC 2 TD
LSU - 45 car - 219 yards 4.87 YPC 1 TD
FSU - 40 car - 249 yards 6.23 YPC 3 TD
ALA - 38 car - 234 yards 6.16 YPC 4 TD

Shredded on the ground against the last 4 decent teams they have played.

They were solid against the pass all year long though. Outside of that one random UT game they dominated in that part of the game.

Honestly, I'd say this is just a sign of injuries piling up, because UF was pretty solid against the run earlier in the year.
