Our running game is terrible. So we'll win the running game 70 yds to 60 yds.

**sigh**. This stat was around prior to 2002, died in 2001 and started again.

Personally, I'm growing tired of this stat and the TV announcers who discuss it ad nauseum throughout the ball game.

It is really old.

I don't know about this game. If TN's line is suspect, I see our DL in the backfield a lot.

The problem is that Fl's OL is worse.

Hopefully Grier will settle, because he had happy feet on Saturday. I just hope he doesn't get killed. This is a rebuilding year.

Rushing stat is legit. Air yards dont mean squat. Not just UF-UT...look at ALL the games and the team that leads in rushing wins almost every single time...the few times it doesnt is when they committ more turnovers.

UF will easily out gain UT in rushing yds...1) sacks and TFLs count against the total yardage. 2) our defense just has way way way too much starch against the run.

If a team has 400 yds passing and 90 yds on the ground it usually means they lost the game because they HAD to throw and were behind in the score.

Tell Smoothie that # 90 Bullard and # 14 MacCallister sends their love....btw.

UT had 254 rushing yards. Gators had 109. Gators victorious.

This statistic is stoopid.
