The undefeated Gators will face the Florida State Seminoles on Saturday, November 28th, at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium.  The match-up looks to be a challenge for Florida State, which stands at 6-5 for the season. Their last game was against Maryland and gave them a 29-26 victory, putting their winning streak at 5 games.

The Gators have the best record in the country, however, and have set a Gators record, at 21 consecutive wins under coach Urban Meyer in his 5th year at the University of Florida. This marks the longest SEC winning streak in 15 years, and the third longest in the United States in the last 10 years. It's also the 4th longest SEC winning streak in its history. The Gators 21 game winning streak includes 11 undefeated games this season, putting them at 11-0 for only the second time in Gators history, the last being in 1995.

After the November 21st game against FIU, which the Gators took at 62-3, their seniors became the class with the most wins in SEC history. Gator seniors have an impressive 46-6 game record. Overall, the scoring was spread among 8 players, with quarterbacks Tim Tebow and John Brantley responsible for completing 26 passes for over 360 yards, and 5 touchdowns. Tebow managed a career-long touchdown run of 55 yards in the game.

Other notable plays of the game were made by running back Chris Rainey who scored twice, linebacker Brendon Spikes who scored on a 410 yard interception return, and Deonte Thompson who led receivers with 66 yards and 5 catches.

Gators didn't just score impressively on Saturday, but their defense was in top form.  Jaye Howard was the defensive leader. He shared a sack with Lawrence Marsh and managed 7 tackles. Two linebackers, Ryan Stamper and Dustin Doe, each managed one sack each.

The stopped the first 5 conversion attempts in the game against FIU on Saturday. Before that, they stopped the last 8 against South Carolina, putting them at 13 consecutive 3rd down conversion attempts halted. It's the second time they've stopped more than 12 consecutive conversion attempts. Earlier in the season they managed to block 18 consecutive attempts. In the game against FIU, they allowed only 53 rushing yards and one field goal kick. It was also the 4th game in which the Gators didn't allow any turnovers.

The Seminoles' quarterback, Christian Ponder, is out for the season because of an injury, but his replacement, E. J. Manuel, has managed 430 yards and 33 of 51 passes. Jermaine Thomas as also managed 7 touchdowns in 690 rushing yards. FSU's defensive numbers are good, as well, with top defensive linemen Nigel Bradham at 76 tackles, Markus White at 10.5 sacks and Ochuko Jenije with 4 interceptions this season.

The Gators have defeated the Seminoles in their last two match-ups, scoring 45 points each year against only 12 by Florida State in 2007 and 15 points in 2008. The upcoming game against Florida State will be the last game of the regular season and the Gators' last home game.

Reportedly, Urban Meyer, Brandon Spikes and Tim Tebow met and had a meeting with other key members of the team and it has been said that everyone is now on the same page when it comes to the Gators team. Obviously some of the results from the post-Mississippi State meeting has been seen since the Gators managed to take a 41 to 17 win against the Georgia Bulldogs. Georgia should have taken the chance to wear their black helmets for the very first time but they squandered the opportunity instead.

The Gators are now going to have to focus all of their attention on the very next stop on their tour which is Vanderbilt. Right now Vanderbilt is at 2 and 7 for the season and 0 and 5 for the SEC conference play, and for the SEC East Division they are currently in last place. Offensively, they have actually been pretty offensive during this past season. They are currently ranked 93rd in terms of total offense, 109th in terms of passing offense and 110th in terms of scoring offense in the country. Defensively it seems that they have fared a little better, but they are not fairing well enough to concern the Gators in the slightest.

Tim Tebow and his roommate Riley Cooper the wide receiver have both seemed to have ironed out whatever wrinkles were previously in the playbook. Right now both Dave Nelson and Deonte Thompson are absent in terms of the passing attack. A current playmaker is the tight end Aaron Hernandez, who is making plays every single time that he touches the ball.

The running game in Florida is still quite potent, especially with Chris Rainey, Jeff Demps and Emmanuel Moody. The Gators are ranked at 6th in the Nation and they are averaging 252.25 yards for each game on the ground. Tim Tebow is definitely making up a lot of those yards himself.

It is important that the Florida Gators keep their attention on the Vanderbilt Commodores this week, but it seems that their mind is on other things. Urban Meyer is going to tell you that his team is only preparing for the Commodores right now, and that they are not thinking about the looming upcoming South Carolina game. He will tell you that the team is not even going to think about the South Carolina game until the days following the Vanderbilt football game. Unfortunately, we know quite well that it is human nature to look ahead, and the Florida Gators are almost certainly wondering about their future.

The OBC is definitely looking forward to a stop by the Gators in Columbia in the following two weeks.

Florida has a lot of improving to do, especially in terms of offense. The offensive line also has to improve in terms of pass protection because they cannot go on forever relying on Tebow.

In a performance that was both sloppy and riddled with mistakes, the Florida Gators were lucky to have managed to pull out with a win this past Saturday against the Razorbacks in Arkansas thanks to a 27 yard long field goal that was made with only nine seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, ending the game. This field goal managed to break a tie, 20 to 20, capping the end of the game that somehow saw the Gators handling the ball over four separate times on fumbles, failing to protect Tim Tebow adequately and giving up a number of very big plays thanks to the team's defense.

The first drive for the game on the Gator's behalf set the tone quite early, as well as foreshadowed the very long and tedious afternoon that they were in store for. After managing to take over at the midfield following a three and out by Arkansas, Florida drove the ball all the way to the 14 yard line on Arkansas' side. A sack and a missed field goal gave the ball back over to Arkansas, just one of many of the missed opportunities for scoring that Florida experienced during this game.

No points were scored during the first quarter of the game, although Arkansas did manage to punch the ball in during the first play on the second quarter from the one yard line on Florida's side. The first two possessions by Florida during the second quarter resulted in fumbles, and both were within ten yards of the goal. The third possession brought Florida a score with a field goal from the 30. By the point of halftime, Arkansas was winning against Florida with a score of 10 to 3.

Field goals are really what carried the Gators during the game. Despite turnovers and fumbles, they managed to take their first lead during the game with a 77 yard touchdown on the behalf of Tim Tebow and Deonte Thompson. Still, Arkansas did not show any signs of quitting, and they kept marching in an attempt to regain the lead. With only seconds remaining in the fourth quarter of the game, the two teams were tied, 20 to 20, and it was a field goal that knocked the Gators into the lead just in time to cap the end of the game and walk away with another win.

The game was riddled with problems, mistakes, fumbles and turnovers, all of which were completely unnecessary. Despite the fact that the Gators have been performing well, with a so far winning streak during this season, they do not seem to be playing at the top of their game, and there are big holes that need improvements. This was a close game, and the coaches of both teams are likely scouring footage of the game trying to determine what went wrong so that this performance will never be repeated again by either team.

The Florida senior quarterback, our favorite allstar Tim Tebow managed to throw a total of four touchdowns, rushing for another as the No. 1 team Gators chalked their second win for the season, their 12th straight win after claiming 56 to 6 against the Troy Trojans who are currently 0 and 2 for the season. They did this at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium in front of more than 90,000 fans.

For the second time in his career, Tebow managed to throw a surprising four touchdown passes in a single game. The last time this happened was in 2007 in Kentucky with a 45 to 37 win. He managed twice to hook up with Deonte Thompson who caught two touchdown passes, a career high, for 69 yards. He also connected with Riley Cooper as well as Brandon James to make scores.

Tebow managed to rack up a total of 237 yards up in the air, competing 15 out of 24 passes to accompany his four scores and he kept his nation-leading streak of 30 games with a touchdown pass going strong.

Under rainy conditions and plenty of clouds, both teams unfortunately got off to quite a slow start. The gator defense managed to hold the Trojans for three possessions and both teams managed to surrender fumbles. The Florida senior defensive end, who is Jermaine Cunningham managed to cause the first, then a drop by DuJuan Harris from Troy was recovered by Justin Trattou, the junior defensive end.

This fumble and recovery managed to lead to the first score for the Gators, and once they got going they couldn't seem to find a way to stop. In the last six minutes of the second quarter, Florida managed to capitalize on Troy's back to back errors in order to bring the score up to 35 to 3. By the halftime, the Gators had a sturdy lead of 32 points.

By the third quarter, and with only six minutes remaining on the clock, John Brantley, a redshirt sophomore, took over at the quarterback post and finished the day for the gators with a total of 135 yards and having completed 10 out of 12 passes and throwing a touchdown.

By the end of the game, the Gators had 56 and the Trojans only had 6. Florida is going to be continuing its home stand on September 19, which is when Florida goes up against Tennessee at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. They will be opening up 2009 SEC play with this one, and kick off is currently slated for 3:30 pm. The game is going to be broadcast live nationally thanks to CBS.

What To Know: With Harvin and Murphy gone, the offense is going to be missing their sure thing stars for receiving, but there is plenty of speed to be burned at running back and so the line should be able to grow into something that is terrific. The quarterback situation is definitely special, because Tim Tebow seems to make everyone around him significantly better. John Brantley, additionally, is a strong back up that is going to prove to be a superstar. The new coordinator for the offensive line, Steve Addazio is going to use a little bit of I-formation which will go along with their typical spread attack, but no matter which scheme is followed, the offense is definitely going to be balances by running 231 yards each game and throwing for another 214.

• Offense Star: Definitively Tim Tebow, the senior quarterback.
• Player to Step Up: Deonte Thompson, the sophomore wide receiver.
• Unsung Star: C Sam Robey, the redshirt freshman.
• Best Prospect for Pro: Tim Tebow, the senior quarterback.
• Top Three Candidates for All-Star: Tim Tebow, Aaron Hernandez and Mike Pouncey.
• Offense Strength: Speed, Tim Tebow

Quarterbacks

Tim Tebow is a projected starter that has not had a bad part of his career yet. So far he has earned two different national titles, a Heisman trophy, a Heisman runner up trophy, and he's become quite the folk hero. He was the first player to run and throw for a total of 20 touchdowns in one year, which happened in 2007, and then he followed up with an improved 30 touchdowns coupled with 4 interceptions. He is more than just statistics, however, as he's the ultimate team leader and can carry the entire team at times. Now he is quickly moving from being among the greatest of all players in college ball history to being a true top pro prospect.

As far as projected top reserves go, John Brantley, a sophomore player, might be an even better pro prospect. He is 6-3 and 217lbs, and has completed 18 out of 28 passes for a total of 235 yards and three outstanding touchdowns and an interception. During the spring season he was outstanding and showed why he was such an important recruit when brought onto the team a few years ago. He has a tremendous command over the offense, a live arm, and enough accuracy and mobility for him to lead the team toward a national title.

Do not forget about Jordan Reed, 6-3 with 225lbs. He is a dual threat player that offers outstanding mobility considering his size, and he packs a phenomenal arm as well. He may not be a superior recruit, but he may have a starting job by 2012.

Watch Out For: Definitely watch out for Brantley, who has an impressive arm that makes every throw possible and every read possible even while he looks the part of a typical starter. He isn't going to come in to the game unless Tebow is hurt, or unless there happen to be blowouts, but that doesn't make him any less the real deal.

• Strength: Definitely Tim Tebow.
• Weakness: A No. 3, because there isn't currently a third option for emergencies and there isn't going to be a challenger in place for Brantley for next year.

Outlook: Tebow is going to be the front runner looking for the Heisman, Brantley is going to be a superstar looking for an opportunity to bust out, and the passing game is definitely going to be special even with some of the starters playing at receiver. Scott Loeffler, the new quarterback coach is going to attempt tweaking things so that even more can be gained from the air attack, but why mess with a good thing?

Score: 10

Running Backs

The projected starter here is Jeffrey Demps. Demps is so fast that he took time off from spring ball so that he could run for the track team, and after suffering a recent groin problem he doesn't seem to be showing any ill effects. This 5-8 and 183lb sophomore definitely has what it takes to be similar to Harvin by taking a role as a receiver and also a runner. He's caught 15 passes for a total of 141 yards as well as a score. He was at his best when he was running and averaging 7.8 yards with each carry for 605 yards and 7 scores in back to back Arkansas and LSU games. He spent most of the second half of the year starting, and he'll be a main man in many of the key spots this season.

As far as projected top reserves go, Chris Rainey, a sophomore is the best home-run hitting option on the team right now despite the fact that he hasn't been consistently healthy lately. He's more than just fast, he runs a 4.24 and can average around 7.8 yards per carry for four scores and 652 yards. He's not very large at 175lbs and 5-9, but he is definitely tough enough to handle between 10 and 15 touches every game.

Emmanuel Moody is a junior that was supposed to be the running game savior after he transferred away from US. He wasn't very special, however, running a single touch down and 412 yards. This 210lb, 6-0 runner did average 7.2 yards with each carry and definitely managed to bring an additional power option when it came to the speedy backfield. During the off season he showed that he can be used as a receiver as well. He suffered a hand injury and has to spend some time getting healthy, but then he will have plenty of time to show himself in the game.

The Senior Brandon James is going to be more of a start for special teams than for the offense, but after running 59 yards, catching 11 passes, running 2 touchdowns and a score, he's going to get a little bit of work here. This 5-7, 185lb player is going to line up in a variety of different ways this year, especially as a top kick returner and top punt returner.

Watch Out For: A steady rotation, especially since Tim Tebow is going to work more on the idea of being a passer as well as an occasional option for fullback. The ground game, then, is going to rely on Demps, Rainey and Moody to get the same amount of work.

• Strength: Yards per carry, considering how cartoonish the numbers are. The team is averaging 5.9 yards with each carry, and Demps and Rainey are each averaging 7.8 yards with each dash, and Moody averaging another 7.2.
• Weakness: Harvin, since the team could not have been carried to a national title without Harvin. He averaged around 9.4 yards with each carry and made 10 touchdowns. He finished second in terms of rushing, just behind Tebow. Speed may be returning to the team, but no one is as good as Harvin.

Outlook: The running backs definitely have the flash, the speed and the experience but more of the workload needs to be shouldered. Urban Meyer does not have a history of relying on running backs but he may have to do so this year considering how many good options there are. In a pinch, however, it will be Tebow that is carrying the ball.

Score: 8

Receivers

Aaron Hernandez is a projected starter, and a 6-3, 250lb junior that is expected to play a truly large role in the offense after he finished third on his team last year with 34 catches, 381 yards and a total of 5 scores. He is considered to be one of the top tight end recruits in the nation, and he has yet to disappoint with his speed and his great hands. He is definitely going to be a No. 1 target this year.

Deonte Thompson is the leading returning WR for the team after having finished fourth on his team with 269 yards, 18 catches, 3 touchdowns and an average 14.9 yards with each catch. This 6-0, 195lb player has the home-run hitting wheels to really stretch the field and to be the top vertical element for the team. Now what he needs to do is to be consistent as well as to get the ball moving a little more so that he can get more involved.

Riley Cooper, 6-3 and 215lbs caught 18 passes, ran 261 yards and claimed 3 touch downs. His average is 14.5 yards with each catch. He's never fantastic but he sure is steady, though he never caught more than just two passes in each game last season. Now may just be his time to shine.

David Nelson is a senior that made 12 catches last season, but he also made five scores with four of them coming during the last six games, including Oklahoma and Alabama. At 6-5 and 212lbs, he has a great height that he can use to become a real matchup nightmare. He may not be a big-time speedster, but he has plenty good enough wheels and he is also quite physical.

Carl Moore is a projected top reserve that caught 73 passes for 16 touchdowns and 1068 yards for Sierra C.C. in California. Last year he managed to make 14 grabs for a total of 184 yards and a single touchdown, averaging around 13.1 yards with each catch while playing for the Gators.

Frankie Hammond is a 6-0, 175lb RF that really lit it up during the spring season. He may not be as large, but he is definitely a speedster and is wonderful in the open field and versatile enough to be used in a number of different ways. He may not be a star for another season but when he gets the chance, he should definitely put up his big numbers.

Desmond Parks is going to be the No. 2 tight end. He is a 6-6, 215lb true freshman with excellent hands. He's willing to be a big blocker and he isn't afraid to put up a real fight for the ball when it is in the air.

Watch Out For: Hammond, who isn't going to be another Percy Harvin, but he definitely isn't a bad imitation. He could make the good receiving corps even better.

• Strength: Hernandez, who should be as good as he has been expected to be, which will take pressure off of the receiving corps. He is the one that the team is going to turn to on those key third downs, and he is likely going to open things up for everyone else.
• Weakness: Louis Murphy. Losing Murphy is vital because he was the steady and unsung running mate, averaging 17.2 yards with each grab and seven scores. While there is a ton of talent returning and a lot of upside, the Gators have lost their sure thing for a top wide receiver and their No. 2 spot.

Outlook: Losing Harvin and Murphy would have been devastating for any team, and it is definitely going to impact the Gators. They are going to make up for it with good size, speed and quickness. Having a tight end player like Hernandez is definitely going to help, but players like Thompson and Cooper are going to need to take over as rising stars.

Score: 7.5

Offensive Line

As far as projected starters go, Carl Johnson should be making a successful move to tackle from guard. This man is 6-6 and 330lbs and started eight out of the last ten games on the inside last year. He is the most versatile lineman on the team and can also play center when needed.

Maurkice Pouncey, who is a junior and a guard by nature is most likely going to be moving over to the left guard spot even though he was at center for every game during the last season. This junior is 6-5 and 312 lbs, making him a big blocker that is terrific in nearly any position that you put him in.

Now that Pouncey was out for the spring, David Young, a sophomore, was able to become one of the biggest surprises for the team center. This 303lb 6-5 guy saw a little bit of time for the season opener but then was not able to get back on the field, but during the off season he definitely showed that he wants to become a larger part of the team's offense over the next three years.

Marcus Gilbert is going to be the right tackle, which will be the other key opening. Gilbert is already appearing to be a star. He used to be a defensive lineman, but he's now going to be protecting the blindside for Tim Tebow. He is 6-6 and 320lbs, and while he is a bit big, he's more than experienced for the job.

Mike Pouncey, brother to Maurkice Pouncey is going to be a fixture at the right guard spot after having started every game last year. This junior, who is 6-5 and 320lb was originally considered to be the better player of the two brothers on the offensive, but he moved to the defensive side of things so that he could boost some depth.

James Wilson could possibly end up being started as a left guard depending on what happens to Maurkice Pouncey. This 6-5, 329lb player is a sophomore with the potential for being a great backup.

Matt Patchen may be undersized but he is certainly feisty, and he is quickly becoming a promising left tackle backup just behind Carl Johnson. This 6-6, 260lb player is a sophomore that made 7 tackles and ended up being a key player on special teams after he recovered from a shoulder gunshot wound.

Nick Alajajian is one of the top recruits for the team right now, and is going to push to get time at the right tackle spot, which is an all important position. This 6-4, 280lb player worked his way up into the number 2 spot through tremendous quickness and athleticism. He is not going to be the same mauler run blocker that Gilbert has been, but he still has great pass potential.

Watch Out For: Robey was terrific this spring, and he will be a force to be reckoned with if he is able to hold onto his center job and his consistency. This will allow Maurkice Pouncey to move to guard and then the line is going to be a rock.

• Strength: The biggest strength right now is the talent. Some big replacements may need to be made, and there is definitely a little bit of uncertainty for left guard and center, but between Johnson and the Pouncey brothers, the line is definitely full of all star players that are very good at what they do.
• Weakness: The biggest weakness right now is proven back ups. There is definitely a lot of talent when it comes to the second team, but there isn't much there when it comes to experience. It is important that a steady rotation is found and that the backups are able to step in as quickly as possible.

Outlook: Although largely unsung throughout much of last year, the Gator line was truly fantastic in all areas of play. They were great when it came to pass protection and were able to pound away as well for the ground game. Florida fell into 10th in the entire nation as well as first in the SEC in rushing, and in sacks allowed Florida was 13th in the country. There is definitely going to be some shuffling but this should still be one of the best lines in the SEC, led by the brothers Pouncey, and they should play terrifically throughout the entire year.

This isn't going to end up being 1977 Nebraska, and the spread really isn't going to go anywhere, but part of the plan here is going to be to develop the passing ability for Tim Tebow while allowing the running backs to become more involved. The biggest beneficiary that is involved in the offense this year is the tight end, Aaron Hernandez. The third leading receiver for the team last year is going to get the ball much more often, and now that Murphy and Harvin are both gone, he is going to be the go-to receiver.

What you should be watching out for on the defense: Watch for the backups. 11 starters are returning from a team defense that managed to finish in ninth place for the entire nation, holding down the Oklahoma defense and taking fourth in scoring defense, and this means that there isn't much room available for wild and sweeping changes to this line up, but some of the back ups are better than the starters, and this is a problem without really being a problem.

The team is going to improve if: If the team doesn't buy into all of the outside hype and pressures, and if the penalties slow down, then the team is going to be far better. Every week there is going to be another greatest of all time type of story, and the players are going to want to hit that point. The attention from the media, everyone trying to win the games by three touch downs, is not necessary because all that the team has to do is play up to their capabilities rather than the hype, and everything is going to be fine.

The schedule: Playing on October 10th against LSU and then October 31st against Georgia, and this is it. There is plenty of talk already about a potential upset in South Carolina, but if Florida is going to play as well as its supposed to, then this is not going to be a bad trip at all. Unless there is some kind of a major upset at Kentucky, at Mississippi State or against Florida State, there is nothing else that needs to be worried about.

Who is the best offensive player? The Senior Quarterback, Tim Tebow. You may be sick of him, and it is likely only going to get worse, but he really is that good. He has completed 66% out of all of his passes for 67 touch downs and 6,390 yards, 11 interceptions, 43 scores and 2,037 yards rushing. He throws a much better and much more accurate ball than most of the scouts are giving him credit for. His bruising style of running isn't really pretty but it is still quite brutally effective.

Who is the best defensive player? The senior linebacker, Brandon Spikes, is the best defensive player on the team right now. He has made 239 tackles in his career, breaking up 11 passes, claiming 25 tackles for loss and 3 interceptions. His athleticism and size are prototype for the sport and he is likely to become more of a spokesman for the team than even Tebow will.

Key Player: The key player to achieving a successful season is going to be the sophomore wide receiver Deonte Thompson. Florida isn't going to have another Harvin, but it will have several different receivers capable of flying. Thompson has caught 18 passes, 3 touch downs and 269 yards and he has a catch average of 14.9 yards.

The season is going to be successful if: If Florida manages to go 14-0 while winning the national championship. If anything less than the absolute perfect season is obtained, then the team is going to be disappointed. Anything less than obtaining a national championship is going to be a complete failure. The expectations may be ridiculously high, but they certainly deserve to be.

The Key Game will be: The October 31 game against Georgia. Watch out for this. Georgia is really, exceptionally good, better than they were last year, and they absolutely have the potential to pull off this win in this truly heated rivalry.

Here are some interesting stats from 2008:

• Florida threw 5 interceptions, opponents threw 26.
• The third down percentage of conversions for Florida was 52% or 83 out of 161, and for Opponents was 33% or 63 out of 192.
• The first quarter scoring for Florida was 167 and only 20 for Opponents.
