For the sake of putting it simply, the Florida Gators wiped the floor with Charleston Southern, walking away with a score of 62-3 after a blowout game on Saturday.
You may say that this was the most boring game going on right now, because all the Florida Gators did was inflicted pain, pain and touch downs.
The game plan for the Gators did not involve Tim Tebow playing under center, or hardly even Tebow playing on the run. The only objective for Florida this week was to be able to rival Usain Bolt while they were on the way to the end zone with their playmakers. Consider these stats for example:
In the first half, the time of possession was 9:25. 35 offensive points were scored. The number of points scored per offensive minute were 3.78 points.
For Tim Tebow's most recent home opener as a Florida Gator, Florida managed to throw up a total of 385 offensive yards within the first 23 minutes alone. If the Gators had not managed to pull their starters out by the second quarter, then they may actually have broken the school's records for offensive yards in a single game with a total of 774.
Even the team's fourth stringers were allowed to be involved in this offensive explosion after the primary playmakers were able to have their go at things, including Riley Cooper, Jeff Demps, Chris Rainey and Aaron Hernandez. Rainey managed to finish a single play, scoring in 76 yards within only 13 seconds.
Cooper is looking more lethal than he looks lethargic after he was given a chance to do more than simply block downfield for once. This senior managed to lead all receivers with five catches in 105 yards and managed to make a catch after throwing up, considering he has been battling a flu bug all throughout the week.
Fans of Tebow had to settle for less than two quarters worth of him playing. He managed to finish 10 out of 15, passing for a total of two touchdowns and 188 yards, with one passing and one was rushing.
This wasn't just a win for Florida - They came out hard and fast, and proved that they are ready to play some serious ball this season. They wiped the floor with Charleston Southern, and their 62 to 3 score shows that they mean business, and are ready to set and break records, kick butt and walk away with as many wins as possible. Meyer, the coach for the Gators even said that the team has other tricks in its bag that they have yet to pull out, including Tebow being able to take snaps from under center.
Die hard fans of the Gators are certainly going to be kept engaged this season if this keeps up.
