Win with Style

by Swampie on November 1, 2009

Funny how much style points matter in the fickle world of our national sports media.  Alabama’s one dimensional offensive output, Mark Ingram, has dropped them to three when one poll had them at #1 just a little over a week ago.

Now it’s Texas and Florida at top.  Everyone gets well on Georgia these days but this man has to say the Dogs were impressive ealy on.  But equally as impressive was the Gators defense getting stronger as the game wore on.  Less and less worked for the black helmets of Georgia.

Just check the Georgia drive chart below the Gators ended the half with two sacks that stopped third downs forcing punts.  In the second half the Gator defense stopped the Dogs with a big play each drive except for their lone scoring drive and the final three and out and Florida refused a holding penalty by the Dogs on their third down play, they punted the ball and never got it back.

With Southern Cal gone down the crapper it looks like either Florida, Alabama or LSU vs the Longhorns of Texas as pretty much a lock. No one has score much on Texas although Oklahoma State dropped some bombs on them. But Texas defense has pretty much gone under the radar in a conference that prides itself on offense them steers are pretty good.

Time will tell who lines up vs the gators LSU or Auburn that one will be answered this coming weekend. The weeks rest didn’t help Georgia that much, they did get their helmets painted I guess, we’ll see what it does for the Tide. Best defense wins this game or worst offense loses it.

(AJ Jones above has a huge game
2 INTs, 1 Sack, 1 Tackle for Loss.)

One thing for sure Florida has played well all year on defense and yesterday the offense clicked but the defense also helped add a lot of style. Thank you Georgia!

    No one in Gator Nation respects H. Walker more than I do. I can remember watching him run and the only comparison of amazement I can think of is watching Tiger Woods hit shots when the pressure is on. I watch to be amazed. However, Tim broke his record, I hear comparisons and that there should be an * denoting differences, 4yr vs 3yr QB vs RB etc. It occured to me that you have often done some good objective analysis in comparing difficult things, ie apples and and oranges. This would be a good project. # of carries/TD Career-to-date(CTD), average yards/carry CTD; I'm sure you can think of more areas that would be of interest. just a thought Thanks Bill

    There is no way you can compare the two in my opinion. A tremendous dual threat quarterback to a great great runningback? Ask yourself this with Tebow's opportunities how many more yards would he have gained had he been able to run like Walker? And had Walker been able to throw like Tebow and complete as many TD passes and as few INTs how many more holes in the dropback pass or shotgun would he be able to take advantage of? It's mind boggling to me. But there is no way the two can be compared. One thing that must be address is if you count bowl game TDs now they must be counted back then, that rule makes no sense whatsoever. Correct that and Tebow still has a record to break.
