mississippibgfloridag

The top ranked football team University of Florida went up against Mississippi in Starkville during Saturday night, and they came away with their very first win against this team since the year 1985, managing to hold on tight to claim a win of 29 to 19, improving their score to 7 and 0 for the season as well as 5 and 0 for the Southeastern Conference. The Bulldogs in Mississippi have moved to 3 and 5 overall, and in conference play their current standings are 1 - 3.

Florida currently owns the longest winning streak in the nation with a total of 17 wins in a row, and they have, in the past, won nine SEC road games straight in a row, dating back to their famous 2007 season. The University of Florida has managed to improve to an overall score of 7 and 0 for the very first time since their season in 1996, and they went 3 and 0 against the SEC West teams for the very first time since the year 1998.

The Senior Quarterback with the team, Tim Tebow from Jacksonville in Florida managed to lead his team with a total of 127 passing yards and 88 ground yards. He also had a 26 yard run for a touchdown that tied the record with Hershel Walker of 49 total rushing touchdowns in the SEC. The redshirt sophomore RB, Chris Rainey, managed to add an additional 90 yards while on the ground as well as a touchdown, and he also blocked a punt on the behalf of the Gators.

The Florida defense managed to step up again, limiting the offense for the Mississippi State team to only two field goals and a grand total sum of 237 yards. They managed to hold the Bulldogs back without a single third down conversion until about midway through the final quarter, and they managed to intercept Tyson Lee, the team's quarterback a total of three times. They also managed to hold the running back Anthony Dixon for Mississippi State to his season low of rushing yards at only 53 yards after he entered into the game averaging at around 116 yards per game.

The Gators managed to open the game by forcing an interception during the third play out from scrimmage. They started the game strong, and it was clear that they were going to do everything that they could to maintain a lead to keep their perfect record going for as long as possible. The Gators offense is still having some difficulties, but as long as the defense continues to step up, they may be able to maintain their streak.

With a lead of 29 to 19, the Orange and Blue managed to walk away with a seventh consecutive win, putting them at 7 and 0 for the season and 5 and 0 in the SEC.

The No. 1 UF Gators have managed to take Kentucky down with 41 to 7 in Lexington.

Still the top ranked college team in football, the Gator football team has managed to improve their score to an overall 4 and 0 and a SEC 2 and 0 after claiming a beautiful 41 to 7 victory against Kentucky this past Saturday evening. The game was held at the Commonwealth Stadium which is located in Lexington Kentucky. The Gators maintained a spark that came about following a first quarter that was record breaking, as they jumped into a quick and beautiful 31 to 0 lead, having amassed a total of 223 offense yards.

The Gators were led to victory by the senior quarterback, Tim Tebow from St. Augustine, Florida, who managed to finish the night with five of ten for a total of 103 years and a touchdown pass. He surpassed the previous season high mark for rushing yardage that he held by tallying 79 yards. He managed to finish the game out with 16 carries, 123 yards and two touchdowns, which marked the first 100 yard long rushing performance for a Gator during this season. He has been propelled into the second place mark in the SEC's record book for all time rushing touchdowns as well.

The Gator offense managed to go right to work, and they managed to make scores on the first five of their drives. The Gator defense on the other hand forced Kentucky into five different three and out situations with their first five possessions of the game.

The second drive of Florida's game began with an excellent field position, beginning on the 36 yard line on the Kentucky side, and they held the Wildcats into a quick three and out. With 7:11 left to play within the first quarter of the game, Florida already had a 10 and 0 advantage over the Wildcats.

The Gators defense managed to hold the Wildcats without a single first down until there was only 8:48 remaining within the first half, but the Wildcats eventually managed to cut into the Gators' lead at the end of the first half, bringing the score to 31 to 7.

In the second half, Florida got its first points with only 3:49 remaining in the third quarter, when Sturgis kicked a 32 yard long field goal, giving Florida a 34 to 7 advantage. By the final stanza, and with only 6:39 remaining on the clock, the Gators managed to launch themselves into a 41 to 7 lead over Kentucky.

The Gators are returning to action in a few weeks on October 10, as they are traveling to Baton Rouge, Louisiana so that they can go up against the LSU Tigers.
