- Will decided schematic advantage matter? No. Hell, no. I mean Jarvis basically called BS on it. Grantham's adjustments in the second half were awesome. For that matter the adjustments after the second drive were dead on (Florida had 152 yards at 7:34 in the 1Q; they had less than 70 the rest of the way). Bobo's play calling was strong, again. The two TDs on 4th down were exactly the right calls and to the right spots. That sound you heard was Richt's cojones clanking together. We showed up more prepared and with a better game plan. When it the last time that has happened?
- Can Aaron live down last year? He had a serviceable game. There were some throws that were off, either because he or the receiver missed the route. However, he never had the one WTF throw. I'll take it.
- Will the defense handle the running game well? Dude. Just. Dude. If you had told me we'd hold them to -19 yards rushing, I'd have bet my house on the game. Outside of one Rainey run of 17 yards (that ended in a forced fumble), they had nothing. The one bubble screen was the only time we seriously over pursued on a misdirection. Very strong performance all around.
I'll get to the special special team's play, which nearly cost us another game (hello, South Carolina), later. Beyond that, we did what we needed to do. It was very 2002, but we were on the other side of the score.
TD
