re: This team reminds me of Florida in 1995

They learned and corrected, and they came back the next year and finished the deal.

Let's also remember that the 1996 Florida team had Danny Wuerffel, Fred Taylor, Ike Hilliard, Reidel Anthony, and Jaquez Green.

Not to mention a head coach named Steve Spurrier.

For those that have forgotten, Danny Wuerffel was widely considered to have had the best season a college quarterback had ever had up to that point.

I'm not trying to take away from the 2012 Tigers, but that Florida team was pretty darn talented.

Wiki write-up on the 96 LSU/Florida game:

quote:

With Florida winning so convincingly all season, the next two weeks might have proved a challenge for the Gators, with #12 LSU and #16 Auburn coming to town. It was business as usual for the Gators. LSU came in undefeated on the campaign and featured an offense that scored 38 points per game. Florida, however, was not thinking upset, as Danny Wuerffell threw three touchdowns, two of them to Ike Hilliard, and ran for another score as the Gators proved to have the better offense. Their defense came to play as well as they forced two turnovers and recorded 7 sacks and held the LSU offense to just 28 rushing yards. In the end, the Gators proved themselves worthy of the #1 ranking as they thumped the Tigers 56-13.
