			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.ufloridagatorsfootball.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/auburntigers.jpg" alt="auburntigers" title="auburntigers" width="500" height="375" class="center" /></p>
<p>The Florida Gators college football team has managed to prevail again, defeated Baton Rouge Louisiana's Tigers with 13 to 3 this past week.</p>
<p>In front of a record breaking crowd of more than 93,000 screaming fans at Tiger Stadium, the No. 1 Florida Gator team that currently sits at 5 and 0 with 3 and 0 for the SEC managed to take down the number 4 team, the LSU Tigers, who are currently sitting at 5 and 1 and 3 and 1 SEC with an end game score of 13 to 3 on Saturday. This managed to extend the longest active winning streak in the nation for a team on the road with fifteen games and running so far. This win by Florida managed to snap the Saturday Night winning streak that the LSU team was maintaining up until now. The Gators managed to hold the Tigers to a mere 162 yards in total offense while playing this week in Baton Rouge.</p>
<p>The senior quarterback, who is Tim Tebow from Jacksonville in Florida managed to complete 11 out of 16 passes, and he threw a touchdown in the team's victory. The junior tight end for the Gators, Aaron Hernandez who is from Bristol in Connecticut managed to lead the receiving corps for the team, and he managed to reel in a total of six receptions for a total of 70 yards. Jeff Demps, a sophomore athlete from Winter Garden in Florida managed to amass a total of 86 yards on a total of 16 carries, which helped to lead Florida on the ground.</p>
<p>It wasn't even until the second quarter that LSU managed to score. A failed conversion during the fourth down with 12:08 remaining during the second quarter allowed LSU to take the ball on their own 20, and then a series of penalties on Florida's behalf allowed the LSU Tigers to advance a total of 77 yards down the field, where they claimed 3 points with a field goal on the behalf of John Jasper.</p>
<p>Luckily, the Gators were able to maintain their defense, keeping LSU at 3. They held the Tigers throughout the next few quarters. During the fourth quarter, and after securing four consecutive first downs, LSU had to turn the ball over to the Gators on downs, and this sealed in the victory of 13 to 3 on the behalf of the Florida Gators.</p>
<p>Florida is working on returning home for a homecoming weekend match in Gainesville. They will be matching up with the Razorbacks from Arkansas on October 17, and they will be playing at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.ufloridagatorsfootball.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/tenesseevolunteers.jpg" alt="tenesseevolunteers" title="tenesseevolunteers" width="468" height="351" class="center" /></p>
<p>SEC play opened up with a game between Tennessee and Florida, and the Florida Gators mopped the floor with the Tennessee Volunteers in front of a school record of 90,894 fans that gathered at the Ben Hill Griffin Stadium on Saturday so that they could watch the No.1 team, the Florida Gators defeat the Volunteers from Tennessee. Now the Florida Gators are 3 and 0 with 1 and 0 for the SEC, and the Tennessee Volunteers are at 1 and 2 with 0 and 1 for the SEC. The Gators won the game with 23 to 13. With this win, UF has now set a new record for the school with a collective thirteen game winning streak.</p>
<p>Under their head coach, Urban Meyer, the Gators are now sitting at 5 and 0 against Tennessee. Florida managed to accumulate 208 in the air under the lead of the senior quarterback, who is Tim Tebow. He completed 14 out of 19 passes, and he also went for 79 yards and a single touchdown. This is the 46th total career touchdown, tying him in second place in the history of the SEC with Kevin Faulk from LSU.</p>
<p>Chris Rainey, a redshirt sophomore, put together a total of 64 yards with 9 carries. </p>
<p>Aaron Hernandez led the Gators with a total of 4 receptions and 26 yards.</p>
<p>Caleb Sturgis, a sophomore kicker, was 2 for 2 with field goals during the first half, which gave the Gators an advantage of 3 and 0 to kick off the showdown. He capped off a 10 yard, 8 play drive after achieving the first field goal for his entire career, which was a boot of 37 yards that fell at the 11:33 mark during the first quarter, allowing Florida to be the first on the board.</p>
<p>Sturgis would go on to tack on an additional three more points from field goals for UF during the third quarter, adding in the 20th victory in the series for the Florida Gators.</p>
<p>In the second half, Tennessee received the ball but the Gators managed an interception, and it led to another field goal by Sturgis, this time it was a 35 yard field goal. At this point, the Orange and Blue was ahead with 16 to 3. Joe Haden's pick marked the fifteenth straight game that the Gators were able to come up with an interception, which actually happens to be a leading statistic in the NCAA.</p>
<p>Florida managed to tack on an additional score at the very end of the third, taking a seven yard touchdown by Jeff Demps. The third quarter closed out with UF ahead by 23 to 6.</p>
<p>After forcing the Gators to punt during the end of the fourth, Tennessee ended up facing a fourth and six situation. Crompton threw the ball downfield but was picked off by Ahmad Black. The game closed out at 23 and 13, giving Florida possession of the series lead all time, with 20 to 19.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.ufloridagatorsfootball.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/rileycooper-300x245.jpg" alt="rileycooper" title="rileycooper" width="300" height="245" class="left" />Riley Cooper, a receiver from Florida, who has made plans to play baseball for the Rangers in Texas has decided to return to the football field for a senior playing season.</p>
<p>Urban Meyer, coach for the Florida Gators, made the announcement regarding Cooper's decision on this past Tuesday.</p>
<p>This was welcomed news for Florida, as their biggest challenge during the fall season is going to be to replace two lost lead receivers, Louis Murphy and Percy Harvin.</p>
<p><strong>According to Urban Meyer, he is going to be relied on heavily as a go-to receiver.</strong> Urban Meyer has been long been looking for someone that can step up now that Louis Murphy and Percy Harvin are departing. Nobody has stepped up yet, but it is said that Riley can definitely be someone that can.</p>
<p>Cooper was a starter in 12 games for the Gators, which went on to be national champions during the last football season. He managed to catch 18 passes for a total of 261 yards and a total of three touchdowns. He has had a total of 30 receptions in his career for a total of 535 yards with nine scores. He is also the roommate of quarterback Tim Tebow.</p>
<p><strong>There was a very real chance that Cooper may spurn Florida in favor of a major league baseball career.</strong> The Rangers decided to draft him during the 25th round in the amateur baseball draft in June. He spent a good part of the summer playing alongside the McKinney Marshals from the Texas Collegiate League.</p>
<p>Cooper says that the decision was tough for him to make, perhaps one of the hardest he's ever made, but he is excited about both playing as part of the Texas Rangers Organization and also returning to play a senior season with the Florida Gators. Two weeks ago, the personnel with the Rangers gave him a tour of the Arlington ball park.</p>
<p>Cooper had been initially drafted into the 15th round by the Phillies in Philadelphia in 2006. He chose to play with the Florida Gators instead of pursuing his baseball career at that time.</p>
<p>Meyer allowed Cooper to skip out on spring practice this year so that he could join the baseball team. Cooper hit two home runs with .247, eight runs batted in and three bases stolen in a span of thirty games. In 89 at-bats, he struck out 41 times.</p>
<p>Meyers knows that Riley is an extremely talented athlete. He has the speed, size and the strength that are needed to create a rough match up for most defenses. The entire offense for the Gators is going to be predicated on problems with matchups for the defense. Luckily, Riley is going to be able to do this for the team because he is renowned for being a big time playmaker.</p>
<p><strong>The NCAA rules have allowed for student athletes to go professional in a sport while they maintain eligibility in a different sport.</strong> Former Florida QB Doug Johnson, for example, spent four years playing for the Gators even after he had signed with the Tampa Bay Devil Rays.</p>
<p>Tebow is applauding the decision that Cooper has made.</p>
