First, let's review where the Gators have been lately:

Following four sacks by Tim Tebow, an offense that was often only one dimensional and a really big lack of what we like to see in terms of big play production, the Gators may have won against Vanderbilt but they did not spank the competition the way that many people had predicted. The defense was still quite superb in terms of this 27 to 3 win, which only allowed Vanderbilt to enter into the red zone one time throughout the entire game.

The Gators did not have a single offensive passive play that was longer than a distance of 21 yards before the 64-yard passing play by tight edge Aaron Hernandez, which happened late during the fourth quarter of the game. Tebow did display great accuracy with a total of 15 out of 20 completions for a total of 208 yards; however he often seemed to be looking rather uncomfortable in the pocket.

Now let's look ahead to see what the Gators are going up against next:

South Carolina, sitting at a record of 6 wins and 4 losses looks to be poised for yet another meltdown late in the season after having started the year with 5 and 1. The USC offense has only scored a total of three touch downs total in their losses to Arkansas and Tennessee, compiling nearly 750 yards on the USC defense which was once quite steady. The quarterback for the team, who is Stephen Garcia, has taken great strikes during his sophomore year of play, and yet he has received what seems to be absolutely no help from the team's ground game.

Now let's see where the UF Gators are in terms of injuries this week:

The running back Chris Rainey has a shoulder injury, and the wide receiver Deonte Thompson has a rib contusion injury and yet both of these players seemed to play just fine against Vanderbilt after having been limited in the practices over last week. Brand Antwine has a shoulder injury, Carl Moore a wide receiver has a back injury, Jeremy Brown has a back injury and Brendan Beal has a neck and back injury, and all four of these players could potentially be out for the remainder of the football season.

This week running back Emmanuel Moody said that at 19 and 0, teams are really beginning to come out and gun for the Gators. Many teams are listing the Gators as their most important game to win, and teams are finding themselves scheming in an attempt to beat the as yet undefeated UF Gators once and for all.
