I've been up since 7 a.m. here in Melbourne, Australia, to watch my Gators take on South Carolina through online streaming video courtesy of work's US VPN connection. Here's a stat combo you won't see too often: in the first half, UF's total yards=28. UF's total points=21!

Not only did #10 Florida beat #4 LSU (second game in a row without allowing the opposition a TD, plus we held LSU to only 9 first downs), but now comes word that NC State, which was down 16-0 at the half, has stunned #3 FSU with a TD with 16 seconds left to win 17-16!

Im new to the NCAA Football & have ALWAYS been a NFL fan. My husband is a HUGE Florida State fan (Since we live rght down the street from FSU LOL) & Im slowly but surely learning everything about NCAA.
