OK Pan, time for the rooting to begin.
The GATORS will win this game.
OSU is overconfident and feels like they can just show up. I know, I know the Walnuts say 'We respect them, they are a good team' but they believe they are the chosen ones.
The reason you are currently ranked #1 is because you started the season #1 and didn't lose. You played one of the weaker schedules of all the major schools. The GATORS played THE hardest schedule in all of D-1. They lost to the then third ranked team in the country, on the road, at night, by self-imploding(the punter dropped a snap), and a questionable fumble call. OSU played not just weak teams, but BAD teams. Teams with either no offense, no defense, or both. They only good team they beat they gave up 39 points to and almost lost. And hey, Meeeechigan didn't look so hot a week or so ago. Don't even say Texas, they were not that good and they were starting a freshman QB playing his 2nd game.
I think on paper, the teams are even. Both have great senior athletes. Both with senior QB's(always a big factor in college football). Chris Leak did start for four years and Smith for 2 years but whose counting. Both teams have good offenses, defenses, and special teams. There will be mistakes and bonehead plays by both teams (always happens, they are 18-20 year old kids). The difference will be who can overcome their mistakes to persevere. I think this is where the GATORS will overcome. They are battle tested. They will not panic. Meyer will not let them.
I know it sounds corny, but the team that plays the best and keeps their poise will win this game and that will be the GATORS.
Gooooooo GATORS
