Pardon me if I'm missing the sarcasm, but didn't Florida settle for three field goals, average 1.8 yards per rush and 5.8 per pass attempt?

Both teams netted under 70 yards rushing and under 200 passing. Tennessee's third down efficiency was a San Diego State-like 23%, and completed under 50% of their passes.
Seriously, if you mean that you'd prefer one of those offenses...wow.
On the other hand, both Florida and UT can play some D. That's what's going to keep them in things this year. Truthfully, I was watching that game and wondering about Clausen, Ainge and Leak "what's all the hype about?" I mean, Leak took FIVE sacks.
He did go 17-26, but even then -- that's hardly some Texas Tech-like 50-60 attempts per game.
I'll also credit the two offenses for combining for one turnover (UT fumble). That's about it, though.
Now, the USC game had me jealous of an offense, I'll grant you that. So did Louisville-Oregon State, but UT-Florida??? Come on.
