    Yeah his numbers the whole season were sick. Hopefully he puts on some weight his senior year and doesn't get hurt.

    Rumor is Demarcus Robinson will make a final commitment at the Amry All American Game. He is torn between UF and Clemson.

    Well it looks like he wants to go to Florida but some people around him want him to go to Clemson.

    From what I read he got his mother a Florida Gator necklace for Christmas. That would seem to be a good sign.

    Army game is Saturday at 1pm Eastern and he will pick then.

    Under Armour game is Friday at 5pm Eastern.

    Caleb Brantley who will play in the UA game said the Gators have a surprise coming there way during the game. I don't know who he means.

    DeMarcus Walker who is a highly touted DE may switch to Florida. He is committed to Alabama but the decision will come soon as he has set to enroll At school on Jan 7th.

    Caleb Brantley has Decommitted from Florida. I am pretty shocked by this. He went to FSU game on a visit to FSU in Gator gear and got his Scholly pulled. Really weird stuff.

    Biggest upset in history of BCS bowls, I personally didnt think Louisville would get to 13 points.

    Goes to show that no matter how good you start to believe you are a hungry determined team can kick your lackadaisical *** less talented or not. See 02 Miami Hurricanes and 06 Ohio State Buckeyes.

    I thought Utah beating Alabama was a larger upset.

    FL just scored a Td so it is not over just yet.

    Boise over Oklahoma was bigger of an upset.

    I guess if you consider how dominant Louisville has been tonight, it is the biggest BCS upset ever.

    Louisville is killing em in all phases.

    Been there, saw my team play flat and uninspired and overconfident before myself. Sucks for fans to watch.

    Absolutely.

    Louisville is a bad team that played great, those other teams were just from a small conference.

    Which would make them greater upsets IMO

    As to the bad team, are you sure that UF wasn't the bad team on the field?

    Sure looked that way, but by comparison Boise St was a 7point underdog, Louisville was 14.5, huge disparity. To the naked eye one may assume those games were bigger suprises, but in reality vegas is smarter than most of us so tecnically it was the biggest upset in BCS history.

    I have always said that when college age kids are told for a Month and a half that they have no chance and this will be a blow out... they work their butts off for that Month+ and come out with a vengeance. Add in the other team was being told how great they are (at least from the media) and they work just a little less. It's human nature and hard not to.

    Really, Louisville had more to play for. There was a conception that the Big EAST is a bad conference and the SEC is the end all. They were the better team last night. NO doubt. They played great. That being said, Florida did come out flat. They paid for it. Reminded me a lot of the Georgia game. UF made mistakes and UL capitalized on them. Just like UGA did.

    As for Driskel, that was a real bad game for him. He does not seem to be improving. The biggest problem with him, imo, is he just takes TOO LONG to make a decision where to go with the ball. Results in sacks, incomplete passes, and ints (like last night). I am willing to concede UF really does not have a lot of playmakers at wr, but he still needs to improve. Make a decision. I am not ready to say bench him, because the coaches see all the QBs in practice... willing to go with their knowledge. However, I'll be really disappointed if they just give Driskel the starting spot without a competition next season. I still like what he can give the team with his legs, but if he can't throw he needs to be a RB, not QB.

    I honestly don't know what people expected of Florida. They are a terrible offensive team. Florida's best chance in most games is to keep it close and wear the other team down. Last night we lost every phase of the game except Special teams. Florida has the best Special team in the nation. The only thing I was really shocked about was our secondary getting beat like they did. I was very surprised by that. The way Louisville picked up 3rd and longs was crazy to me. Florida's corners were beat badly last night and that's the first time I have seen that all year.

    Teddy Bridgewater was amazing. I was amazed with how well he did. I knew he was good but dang I didn't realize he was that good.

    Caleb Brantley recommits to the Gators!!! Crisis averted!

    Vernon Hargreaves III CB and Florida commit was named UA game MVP. If you watched the game you saw why.

    He was amazing! I was surprised they kept throwing at him. He was lock down! Loving what he will do for our defense next year!

    Good to hear about Brantley. Hoping for the wr today!

    His high school coach advised him to transfer but he said he didn't want too because he loved Florida. Jacoby said he would talk to the coaches. I mean it makes sense to see him go. I heard nothing but good things about him

    Brissett is gone. Can't really blame him. Just really hope these coaches can get Driskel to develop a bit more. Make his decisions faster!

    Anyone know where Demarcus Robinson enrolled? He was supposed to enroll at either Clemson or UF today...

    Not suprised about Jenkins.He tweeted he was coming out before the bowl game.For him its the money .He could be a bargain for the Dolphins as a mid round pick.He would first rounder next year probably but his family situations makes it urgent for him to come out now
    http://www.thephins.com/forums/showthread.php?73460-Underclassmen-declaring&p=1938896#post1938896

    I am sorry to hear about Brissett transferring .I was hoping he would get a chance to compete with Driskel who has flatened out in potential IMO.He keeps making the same mistakes and his throws are inaccurate.

    Driskel was bumming me out late in the year. Not as much as making mistakes, but just that he was making all his throws late. I have been big in saying he does not have any real targets to throw to, but with all the freshmen wrs coming next year, that excuse is gone! I too, was hoping Brissett could have competed against him in the Spring. Oh well. Hope some of the young guys at least push him to make him get better.

    Going to have two nice corners with him and Hargraves III! At least from everything I have read. Have you seen Dawson play?

    Driskel is terrible. What really got me was that he didn't seem to get much better thru the whole year. He had a couple of good games passing but mostly with his feet. Driskel has so much trouble with timing routes. Granted the offensive line and WR's weren't very good, But dang. He only seemed to have success when plays broke down. Should be interesting in the spring who becomes the #2 QB behind Driskel.

    As the season went on, he seemed to make the right decisions but still just a second or fraction of a second late. HOPEFULLY, with more practice and a bit better wrs/protection he'll take a big step next season. If not, hoping Murphy or whoever backs him up is ready.

    I doubt Murphy ever sees the field at Florida as a QB. I always gave Driskel the benefit of the doubt blaming WR's and Line but we can't do that every year. Next year we will find out if he can ever be a QB that wins big for us.
