↵Heading into this season, Florida was the subject of great fanfare. The same was true of tonight’s game. In each case, much of the hoopla centered on Tim Tebow, and with good reason.

↵But what’s often obscured by Tebow’s omnipresence is that Florida might just have one of the best defenses of the decade down there in Gainesville. But tonight’s been a revelation. In front of a prime time television audience, they’ve been absolutely spectacular.

↵And as a result, this game’s slowly descended from exciting, to pretty boring, to “Hey, I wonder what Mark Wahlberg’s Wikipedia looks like?”
