Florida isn't playing up or down to anyone - they aren't good - just scrappy

I think people need to remember something and I feel like I've had to say this repeatedly this year:

Every single week against every single opponent, Florida shows us glimpses of why we thought they would lose 4-6 games this year. The offensive line is inconsistent (although it's been worse with the injuries lately) their best offensive playmaker is a TE that can't catch very well, and a hybrid HB type player in Trey Burton. They have a sophomore QB that is also still inconsistent, and a first year OC.

Somehow, with all of that, UF has been able to play good defense, good special teams, and do JUST ENOUGH on offense each week, protecting the football, and keeping field position in their favor, to be JUST BETTER than the teams they are playing.

It is a miracle that this team is 9-1, and was one bad game away from being undefeated, with 4 top 10 BCS teams on their schedule (3-1 vs those teams).

It is unfortunate that Florida had to lay an egg in the biggest game of the year, but just remember, every week we watch them you can see why they could have been 6-4 or worse at this point. So don't be confused when they barely beat a decent sun belt team. Just be happy that they're still winning, and look forward to the improvements that we all hope to see on offense next year once UF starts getting some better players and some continuity on that side of the ball.
