November 2nd, 2009 — Bulldogs, Florida Gators Football, Gator News
Anyone that is interested in Georgia's football likely found themselves wondering about the future of the Bulldogs following their most recent battle, a game against the Florida Gators. The Gators simply happened to be commanding all throughout the entire game, and they further widened the gap between these two rival programs. This was the 17th loss out of the last 20 games for Georgia. Georgia needed to be able to find some kind of edge, or they had to be able to land a first punch. They had to be able to withstand the Florida Gators' initial blow and then somehow find a way to counter. But none of this seemed to happen.
Coming out with black helmets and black pants was supposed to be able to provide some extra juice according to the coach of the Georgia Bulldogs, Mark Richt.
Florida managed to get the ball rolling by scoring an initial 14 points. Georgia had four penalties in the first quarter alone, and by the time half time rolled around, Florida was in the lead with 24 to 10. The Bulldogs had managed to move the ball, scoring a bit and slowing down the offense on Florida's side, but they could not manage to make a comeback no matter how they tried. The notion was essentially stomped into the dust after four interceptions during the second half. Georgia was not without their moments, but they simply could not stack up their offense against Florida to make enough scores, or their defense to prevent Florida from piling on the points.
Georgia needed to achieve another score or another stop, but it didn't happen. The Gators seemed to be against the idea of slipping, not even for a moment. Losing 17 out of the last 20 games really wreaks havoc when you consider the psyche of the Bulldogs, and it doesn't even really seem as if this is a rivalry anymore.
The team responsible for doing all of the winning, the Florida Gators, simply appears to be bigger and faster and stronger. Every play has been spun positively in the favor of the Gators, even those that were in Georgia's favor. Everything is compared and contrasted between the teams, but it always seems to be depressing for the Georgia team since they have not been able to hold up their end of the rivalry in quite a while.
If Tim Tebow wasn't playing some fine football, Georgia may have had a chance. Unfortunately, limiting this quarterback is hard, and he is certainly doing a lot of work on the field. He threw two touch downs, ran two touch downs and just performed superbly throughout the game. Georgia simply could not stack up against the power of the Gators, and so the rivalry continues in the Gators' favor.

October 19th, 2009 — Arkansas Razorbacks, Florida Gators Football, Gator News
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.

September 28th, 2009 — Florida Gators Football, Gator News, Kentucky Wildcats, Results
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.
