Anyone that is interested in Georgia's football likely found themselves wondering about the future of the Bulldogs following their most recent battle, a game against the Florida Gators. The Gators simply happened to be commanding all throughout the entire game, and they further widened the gap between these two rival programs. This was the 17th loss out of the last 20 games for Georgia. Georgia needed to be able to find some kind of edge, or they had to be able to land a first punch. They had to be able to withstand the Florida Gators' initial blow and then somehow find a way to counter. But none of this seemed to happen.

Coming out with black helmets and black pants was supposed to be able to provide some extra juice according to the coach of the Georgia Bulldogs, Mark Richt.

Florida managed to get the ball rolling by scoring an initial 14 points. Georgia had four penalties in the first quarter alone, and by the time half time rolled around, Florida was in the lead with 24 to 10. The Bulldogs had managed to move the ball, scoring a bit and slowing down the offense on Florida's side, but they could not manage to make a comeback no matter how they tried. The notion was essentially stomped into the dust after four interceptions during the second half. Georgia was not without their moments, but they simply could not stack up their offense against Florida to make enough scores, or their defense to prevent Florida from piling on the points.

Georgia needed to achieve another score or another stop, but it didn't happen. The Gators seemed to be against the idea of slipping, not even for a moment. Losing 17 out of the last 20 games really wreaks havoc when you consider the psyche of the Bulldogs, and it doesn't even really seem as if this is a rivalry anymore.

The team responsible for doing all of the winning, the Florida Gators, simply appears to be bigger and faster and stronger. Every play has been spun positively in the favor of the Gators, even those that were in Georgia's favor. Everything is compared and contrasted between the teams, but it always seems to be depressing for the Georgia team since they have not been able to hold up their end of the rivalry in quite a while.

If Tim Tebow wasn't playing some fine football, Georgia may have had a chance. Unfortunately, limiting this quarterback is hard, and he is certainly doing a lot of work on the field. He threw two touch downs, ran two touch downs and just performed superbly throughout the game. Georgia simply could not stack up against the power of the Gators, and so the rivalry continues in the Gators' favor.

Looking Ahead -

The output on the behalf of Georgia has really paled in comparison to their previous seasons. The defense with the Bulldogs, who are at 4 and 3 right now, is currently last in the entire SEC with a total of 27.7 average points allowed for each game, and truth be told, the offense for the team is not doing much better either. And still, the Georgia team really seems to have a chance this upcoming Saturday simply because of the fact that the Gators are struggling in the red zone. Plus, the Georgia team wants to avenge their loss to the Gators last year. In this rivalry, Georgia is sitting at 3 wins and 16 losses since the year 1990.

In Review -

If you take away their lack of production in the red zone, the Gators seem to have had a pretty decent game in their win of 29 to 19 against Mississippi State. They managed to rush for a total of 172 yards in the first half, and the team's defense did not allow for an offensive touchdown while rushing toward three interceptions and three sacks. Florida still converted one of six trips to the red zone into touchdowns as a result of the predictable action on the behalf of Tim Tebow, who was alternating between rushing and rolling on play action. Still, Tim Tebow only completed 12 out of 27 for a total of 127 yards, making this the worst game for him out of his entire career.

Current Injury Update -

Right now, running back Jeff Demps who has been out with a sprained neck is looking to be returning to practice as early as Tuesday or Wednesday. Brandon Antwine, DT, managed to re-injure an old problem with his shoulder, so he is not likely to be returning this week. According to Urban Meyer, a number of players are slated to be returning this week, including LB Brandon Spikes who was out on a groin injury, Lawrence Marsh who was out on an ankle injury, Jaye Howard who was out on a knee injury and Justin Trattou who was out on a bicep injury.

Quote -

Regarding the red zone offense for the University of Florida Gators, Urban Meyer, coach of the team said that this is an area that has, in the past, been a strength, and it will get back to being a strength again.

Next Game -

The University of Florida Gators are going up against the University of Georgia in Jacksonville.

Coverage -

You can watch the game on CBS on Saturday at 3:30 pm.

The top ranked football team University of Florida went up against Mississippi in Starkville during Saturday night, and they came away with their very first win against this team since the year 1985, managing to hold on tight to claim a win of 29 to 19, improving their score to 7 and 0 for the season as well as 5 and 0 for the Southeastern Conference. The Bulldogs in Mississippi have moved to 3 and 5 overall, and in conference play their current standings are 1 - 3.

Florida currently owns the longest winning streak in the nation with a total of 17 wins in a row, and they have, in the past, won nine SEC road games straight in a row, dating back to their famous 2007 season. The University of Florida has managed to improve to an overall score of 7 and 0 for the very first time since their season in 1996, and they went 3 and 0 against the SEC West teams for the very first time since the year 1998.

The Senior Quarterback with the team, Tim Tebow from Jacksonville in Florida managed to lead his team with a total of 127 passing yards and 88 ground yards. He also had a 26 yard run for a touchdown that tied the record with Hershel Walker of 49 total rushing touchdowns in the SEC. The redshirt sophomore RB, Chris Rainey, managed to add an additional 90 yards while on the ground as well as a touchdown, and he also blocked a punt on the behalf of the Gators.

The Florida defense managed to step up again, limiting the offense for the Mississippi State team to only two field goals and a grand total sum of 237 yards. They managed to hold the Bulldogs back without a single third down conversion until about midway through the final quarter, and they managed to intercept Tyson Lee, the team's quarterback a total of three times. They also managed to hold the running back Anthony Dixon for Mississippi State to his season low of rushing yards at only 53 yards after he entered into the game averaging at around 116 yards per game.

The Gators managed to open the game by forcing an interception during the third play out from scrimmage. They started the game strong, and it was clear that they were going to do everything that they could to maintain a lead to keep their perfect record going for as long as possible. The Gators offense is still having some difficulties, but as long as the defense continues to step up, they may be able to maintain their streak.

With a lead of 29 to 19, the Orange and Blue managed to walk away with a seventh consecutive win, putting them at 7 and 0 for the season and 5 and 0 in the SEC.

With a game against Mississippi State pending, Urban Meyer is looking at the team's current capabilities to determine whether or not the Florida Gators are going to continue their winning streak for another round.

In terms of the offense, the gators have been struggling to run the ball during the first few quarters of the last game, but they still managed to make 100 yards just in during the fourth quarter. They had a total of four fumbles which were completely inexcusable, and so was the dropped touchdown pass on the behalf of Riley Cooper, as well as six sacks. The other receivers besides Cooper were continuing to struggle, and the Gators only managed to convert four out of thirteen third-downs.

In terms of the defense, they were really put in a bad situation by the offense with two fumbles inside of Florida territory. They did manage to force three and outs following two fumbles within the Arkansas red zone.

As far as special teams go, Caleb Sturgis managed to miss a field goal early on, but he responded well with three more, including one that was 51 yards and managed to win the game with a mere nine seconds left on the clock. The Gators still seem in capable of getting their return game going, however, and they really did not do a good job when it came to kickoff coverage.

As far as scouting the opponent is concerned, Mississippi State, which sits at 3 to 4 and 1 to 2 in the SEC is coming away from a victory in Middle Tennessee of 27 to 6. The Bulldogs, who are led by the former offensive coordinator for UF, Dan Mullen, happen to have one of the best backs in the entire league, who is Anthony Dixen. He was the career rushing leader for MSU. Still, they seem to struggle when it comes to throwing the ball, averaging at about 174 yards with each game, and they are ranking near the bottom of the SEC's leader board when it comes to most of the defensive categories.

The UF Gators coach, Urban Meyer, has already said that he has blocked off a section of the upcoming practice where the Gators are going to be spending some extra time and effort working on their ball security. There may need to be a couple of sessions of this in order to get the UF Gators up to snuff on their ball security.

The Gators definitely need a lot of work here because they have turned the ball over a total of eleven times in the span of only six games, and this figure includes a total of nine fumbles, and four of those fumbles were in the victory game against Arkansas this past Saturday. The Gators obviously need some work before they go up against Mississippi in their next game.
