- Last year Florida and Miami both went head-to-head after 3 in-state cornerbacks: Patrick Johnson (now Patrick Peterson), Janoris Jenkins and Brandon Harris.  Florida got Jenkins, Miami landed Harris and Johnson went to LSU.  I’d say thus far Florida has gotten the better of the deal.  Janoris Jenkins has earned his way to starter already and looks like one of the best young corners in the SEC while Brandon Harris is a starter almost by default and was flagged numerous times against FSU for pass interference.  He looked completely over his head out there for the Canes and is part of the reason the Noles were able to operate so efficiently on offense last Saturday.

 - I really like Stanford.  It’s amazing to me how Jim Harbaugh has turned around that team’s attitude in his short time there.  They have adopted their coach’s “never quit” attitude.  They are still a year away from being a bowl caliber team but they will get there.  I don’t think Harbaugh will be long for Palo Alto.

 - Two early mistakes by Kentucky basically cost them the chance to upset Alabama on the road.  An early defensive bust led to a 78 yard touchdown run by Coffee and then Hartline had the mysterious unforced fumble which the Tide recovered for their second and last touchdown of the game.  UK, a big underdog to begin with, put themselves behind the 8 ball early in the contest and it overshadowed a gutsy performance by the Wildcats.

 - Despite a big win over Wisconsin last week, the University of Michigan is NOT back.  The Fightin Zookers went to Ann Arbor and spotted the Wolverines a 14 to 3 lead before outscoring Rodriguez’s team 42 to 6.

- Given Tim Tebow’s play thus far and Urban Meyer’s absolute Belichik-like paranoia about giving out injury information I wonder if part of Tim’s problem this year is physical. He has definitely looked slower and more hesitant when running the ball. Could he be suffering from some unknown (or should I say unannounced) nagging injury? Perhaps a lower extremity issue or a muscle pull? One Gator blogger believes Tim is suffering with a chronic lower back injury. If you think about it, hampered Tebow would be disastrous for UF. Tebow is not a proficient pure pocket passer, without the threat of his running Florida would become almost one-dimensional. One only need to look back to the Georgia game to see how impotent we would become against a defense schemed against an immobile Tebow. Even with a very painful shoulder last year Tebow ran the ball against Kentucky. Could he be sucking it up for 8 to 10 plays a game with a lingering injury just to keep defenses honest?

 - Penn State and Oklahoma might look like two of the more dominant teams in the country thus far this season but I expect both teams to lose games in the month of October.  I also expect Alabama to lose TWO games.  Why?  Bama now has the big target over their head as a highly ranked team while possessing limited depth.  Injuries are a major part of SEC football and behind their starters (who are young to begin with) are a lot of young pups.  It will haunt them as the season goes along.

 - Is it me or do Juice Williams and Tim Tebow seem like interchangeable parts?  Juice had 431 total yards against Michigan (310 passing and 121 rushing).  I wouldn’t mind seeing each of them run the other’s offense.  I don’t think either would miss a beat.  Both operate out of run first spread offenses anyways.

 - Both Chase Daniels and Joe Ganz threw touchdown passes despite their offensive lines blowing blocking assignments and allowing an unchecked rusher through.  It just goes to show that at this level a lot of quarterbacks are expected to make a certain amount of plays on their own no matter how good their team.

 - Color me unsurprised with Vanderbilt’s win over Auburn.  Since the MSU game it has been obvious that the Tigers have MAJOR problems on offense.  If Florida lacks an offensive identity you could say that Auburn suffers from offensive amnesia!

- Allen Bailey chose the University of Miami over Florida in part because the coaches there promised him a chance to play linebacker in college while the Gators wanted him at defensive end. Well guess what . . . ? The kid is playing DE for the Canes. While watching him try and chase Christian Ponder (Seminoles QB) in Saturday’s game I couldn’t help but notice the kid runs like a NOSE GUARD!!! My 6 year old daughter could get down the line faster. And he thought he could play LB in college. HA!!!

 - Florida has 3 games against teams currently ranked in the top 25.  This is subject to change as teams finish the season.  So far the three are LSU, UGA and . . . VANDY!!!  Bet you didn’t see that coming before the year.  I hope the Georgia Bulldogs don’t catch us looking ahead to the Commodores.
