Guys, I did not watch the whole game. I'm sure Florida was a little flat playing the morning game but, wow, this turns into a more stunning now. What did Ole Miss do in that game that LSU could not?

got some turnovers and a couple of big plays, and like you said UF wasn't up for the game at all, bottom line tho we should've seen this coming with how our defense has played

Pressure!! They were in the backfield most of the day! The brought 5, 6 sometimes 7 to get after Tebow.

Beginning with Arky, UF has put a real spread offense on the field. Result (with the abundance of play makers they have): 89 points n the last two games. I'm quite sure the Ole Miss game was the last of the Tebow-Harvin offense; the Gators have 8-10 play makers and they're "spreading" the rock around. I can't see the Gators losing another game going into Atlanta.

It was terrible day. The crowd was flat and the team showed no emotion coming out of the locker room. But we were ahead 17-7 at the half.
In the 3rd quarter, we fumbled away our first 3 possessions deep in our own territory. They took the lead 24-17 after the dust cleared on the turnovers and Ole Miss had momentum and confidence from then on.
Young teams will lose games that will have you scratching your head. Losing the Ole Miss game proved it.
I hope they've learned their lesson after that loss.
We're good for another stinker this year. I hope it isn't uga or fsu.

Not to mention Florida's offense is almost completely different from how it was in the Ole Miss game, Rainey and Demps are alot more involved now

Ole Miss got 10 points on turnovers....the same way Ole Miss lost to South Carolina and Vandy...Ole Miss also pressured Tebow....Ole Miss is good enough to beat anybody left on their schedule including LSU, but also average enough to lose to anybody including ULM...

best of my knowledge, I think they scored more points than Florida, but you might want to verify.

blitz and effectively pressure Tebow.

receivers that could catch.

an offensive line that opened holes for their backs.

more aggressive gameplan both offensively and defensively.

lessons learned from losses to Kentucky and Arkansas = 0

pressure is the biggest thing. Our defense would rather have the offense attack them rather than attack the offense.

Doesn't matter that much... yes they pressured Tebow, but Florida completely revamed their offense for the game against us. Their running game was non-existant before the game against us, and it seems like they pulled a page out of Oregon State's play book doing the whole Jaquizz thing against us. Harvin was MUCH healthier than we expected. They played like a whole different team against us than they did vs. Ole Miss...

LSU fans don't feel bad. The Florida team that played LSU would have beaten Ole Miss 63-14. Our offense is completely different and that was a 12:30 kick and the team played with no passion.

Maybe Ole Miss just has ya'lls number....they have won 3 of the last 4....Just give Ole Miss credit...they stepped up and made plays and beat ya'll....I'm sure Ole Miss could make alot of excuses for losing to Vandy and South Carolina..
