I see Florida had a high-powered passing “attack” that predated Steve Spurrier’s Fun-and-Gun by about 50 years....but 13 for 36 for 169 yards??? YECH!

.but 13 for 36 for 169 yards??? YECH!

In those days, Holding was 15 yards, and it was much easier to be called for it. As a result, more pressure on backfield.

Good show, Trojans! We have now won two in a row and remain unbeaten.

Next week will be our toughest game yet, when we go up to the Farm in Palo Alto to face the 4-0 Indians. Expect a donnybrook.

Fight on!

Ah the good old days.....yea, unfortunately Notre Dame is still living in the past. It’s been nearly 20 years since thy’ve been good and I hate the past administration and how they allowed the franchise to decline.

It’s just nice to read about a Gator victory again.

I’m a Mississippi State fan...it’s good to win again.
