November 12th, 2009 — Florida Gators Football, Gator News, Results, Vanderbilt

While playing in front of a grand total of 90,694 fans of the team, the No 1 Florida team, the Gators managed to win a 19th game in a row following a 27 to 3 victory against Vanderbilt while playing in Saturday in the Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. The Gators are now 9 and 0 for the season and 7 and 0 for the SEC conference, and they managed to hold back the Commodores, who are 2 and 8 for the season and 0 and 6 for the SEC to only a total of 99 rushing yards and 100 passing yards. This is the sixth time so far this season that the defense on the UF team has managed to hold an opponent back to less than 100 yards total rushing.
This 9 and 0 start is the third time ever this has happened in the entire history of the school.
Led by the senior quarterback, who is Tim Tebow, who managed to complete 15 out of 20 total passes for a total of 208 yards and a single touchdown, the UF Gators managed to rack up a total of 227 yards in the air, accompanying 148 yards total on the ground while playing against the Commodores.
The Junior tight end, who is Aaron Hernandez from Bristol, Connecticut, had what was a true career day, after he tallied a career-tying number of receptions, seven in total, for 120 yards in the air, a career high for him. This included a 64 yard haul during the fourth which was also a career record for him.
After both teams managed to start slowly, including two different punts for the Vanderbilt team during their first two possessions, and a single punt for the Gators on their first possession, the Gators finally managed to put some points on the board with only a single minute left during the first quarter, when they nabbed a 27 yard long field goal on the behalf of Caleb Sturgis. Florida managed to swing into action with a 75 yard and 13 play drive including an excellent 14-yard long reception on the behalf of a redshirt senior by the name of David Nelson as well as a 21-yard long catch on the behalf of Hernandez, allowing the team to take a lead early on in the game.
During the fourth quarter, with only around 11 minutes left on the clock, Florida was taking advantage of errors on Vanderbilt's part to extend the lead to a whopping 27 to 3. This was Nelson's first touchdown for the season, and it concluded the scoring for both of the teams, resulting in the game's final score of 27 to 3.

September 14th, 2009 — Florida Gators Football, Gator Game Preview, Gator News, Tennessee Volunteers
The no. 1 team Florida, currently 2 - 0 going to be playing host to Tennessee, currently 1 - 1 this upcoming weekend. Fueled by Lane Kiffin's feelings and words about the upcoming game, the game has a lot of considerable hype surrounding it and it is going to be adding a brand new chapter to this rivalry which was already quite intense before. Moments after Florida defeated Troy with 56 to 6 on Saturday, the players and the coaches of the Florida Gators immediately shifted all of their attention to the Tennessee Volunteers.
The season is beginning now for real, according to the senior receiver, David Nelson.
Although the season started a couple of games ago, this is the match up that the UF Gators have been waiting for, and there is no doubt that Tennessee is just as riled up about this upcoming match up.
The build up that has been coming for Saturday's game at 3:30 against Tennessee actually seems to have began a long time ago.
Kiffin has seemingly made it his top priority to tease, to infuriate and to one-up the coach of the Florida Gators, Urban Meyer and his team. He has been making headlines right and left by making comments and taking actions that turned this rivalry into something much more serious than it ever was before. He even tried to take Billy Gonzales away from Urban Meyer, but Meyer managed to retain his most loyal assistant.
Tennessee has even created a billboard in Broward County. Both Tennessee were working on recruiting top players in that area. What did the billboard say? Simply, "It's time", and it certainly is time, isn't it?
Tim Tebow even commented that there is something different there now when they play against Tennessee, ever since this rivalry took a much more serious turn. Meyer plans on keeping his team focused in the days before the game through more difficult practice. Offensive lineman James Wilson for UF says that the rivalry is motivating the team, and they are simply counting down the days until they can go up against Tennessee. So much so that they have a sign in their weight room denoting how many days are remaining until Tennessee.
What impact is this rivalry going to have on the upcoming game? Tennessee seems to be motivated by the rivalry, but UF has something else on their side: Two epic wins and a 2 - 0 record that puts them at the top of the scoreboard in many ways. Are these teams ready to finally put Kiffin's words on the line, challenging his threats once and for all?
This is definitely going to be an interesting game. The season starts now, it seems.
