The Second Quarter

Now I get back from my brief respite in the restroom; I come back and the Gators run an incredible 3 man stack in the backfield - with the result =TD. Forst play of Q2

8:25 gators make first stupid mistake of the game - PF for roughing the passer - it might turn things around.

8:27 2 plays later, the Buckeyes come back and score. 21-14 Gators

8:31 Ted Ginn returns from the locker room, after the Buckeyes score. Florida ball on their own 20

8:34 Jim Heacock, DC for tOSU, sure looks like a clone of Tressel

8:36 Looking at the tOSU defense, especially #50, they are already gassed. Shades of LSU vs Tennessee, September 2005.

8:40 Gators stopped on 3rd down when tOSU goes to zone coverage. Ted GInn gets to touch ta ball again potentially. Buckeyes ball on their 20.

8:45 Brian Robiskie drops the ball. 3rd down

8:50 Gators ball; interesting discussion on Deshawn Wynn coming out of CLeveland. The Zooker reigns supreme still!

8:52 Percy Harvin breaks a good run down to the 20. Leak is starting to have someone make a run on his stock!

8:56 Gators struggle on downs, and have to settle for a field goal after getting to the edge of the red zone. Their field goal kicker nails it. Gators 24, Buckeyes 14

8:58 tOSU ball, 1st and ten on their 20. Charles Davis is asking where the 4 receiver set is; it's probably on the sidelines with Ted Ginn, Jr. A shot of Ted Ginn Sr. indicates he is also a man not to be trifled with.

9:00 tOSU going for it on 4th. They get bitch slapped. Tressel knows not to mess with Charlie Strong.

9:02 Interesting shots of the sidelines - the Gator sideline looks happy; the Buckeye sideline looks scared.

9:06 Gators get stopped on 3rd down. No problem - just send out Hetland. It might as well be in the leather if it is under 40 yards! Gators 27, Buckeyes 14. 1:53 left in the half.

9:08 Buckeyes ball on the 20. Turn loose Jarvis F'n Moss. Gators ball, on the 10. Will we see the Timster?

9:11 Yes we do. Gator ball on the 1; TD to Caldwell. Tebow looks as excited as Magic Johnson after winning his first pro game. The Buckeyes defensive backfield is making excuses to each other, and Troy Smith looks like he is realizing the curse of the Heisman.

9:14 Reggie Lewis ties up with Brian Robiskie - gets a flag and gives tOSU a shot for the Hail Woody! Another mistake by Florida.

9:16 Objectivity requires me to post this: there was just a shot of Gator fans, in their striped overalls and all. Those guys really put the gay in Gator.

End of the half Gators 34 Buckeyes 14.
