Was discussing this with a UF co-worker and he reminded me of the arse whoopin Grossman put on us.

obvious ones:
Rex Grossman in 2001 (464 yards, 5 TD's, 44-15 UF)
Freshman Shaun Alexander in 96 (291 yards, 4 TD's, 26-0 Bama)
McFadden in 2007 (206 yards, 3 TD's, 50-48 Ark)


others:
Kenny Irons in 2005 in a loss.(218 yards, 1 TD, 20-17 LSU) and one long run through all 11 defenders.

any other performances worthy here??

Saw Emmitt Smith and Willie Gault (different games) in the 80's. Both ran up and down TS field like they were at a track meet.

tim couch came in here and picked us apart one game in the 90's. i remember thinking some of the plays weren't even bad coverage, he was putting them in 1 ft windows.

Shaun Alexander. Dominant. That was a beatdown.

The Mcfadden performance was really strong considering how good our D was that year, but at that point the Tiger defense worn down and very nagged by injuries. Close game that went to OT.

I know I was at the Florida game in 2001, and I recall that we were beaten badly, but I really do not recall the performance of Grossman so much, but I am sure it was quite strong.

I seem to remember Quincy Carter having a field day against LSU in 1998.

given the circumstances (his youth vs. our defense), what Chris Leak did in 03 was pretty impressive. we sacked him a lot, and hit him more, but he made some nice passes when he had time to throw

i'm pretty sure he set a florida record for yards and rating.

i hated that game. i remember being in shorts when i woke up and being comfortable, sat in the upperdeck and froze my arse off with the wind while watching us get our teeth knocked in.

2002 vs Bama. Shaud Williams and Santonio Beard combining for 250 yards against us. Beat us 31-0.

This was the game were a false internet story had leaked in which Saban had insulted the entire Bama program. The entire state of Alabama was out for blood that week.

Ironic how just a few years later he became their lord and savior.

I still remember Francione holding onto to Sabans arm and not letting go and verbally ripping into him after the game.

Shaun Alexander immediately came to mind when reading the title.
