The Florida-Miami rivalry isn’t quit what it used to be. The game was largely close throughout, but the Gators used a 17-point fourth quarter to top the Canes 26-3 Saturday night in “The Swamp.”
It was over when… Tim Tebow’s 14-yard TD pass to Aaron Hernandez came on the Gators’ sixth play from scrimmage and only 2:26 into the game.
Gameball goes to… Tim Tebow, who threw for 256 yards and two touchdowns and rushed for 55 more yards.
Stat of the game… 1.6: Miami only averaged 1.6 yards per carry and had 61 rushing yards in the game.
Randy Shannon has Miami’s football program moving in the right direction but Saturday night’s game proves the Canes have a long way to get on Florida’s powerhouse level again. Unfortunately a game like this is a killer for Miami in the Florida recruiting war. They just don’t have any offensive firepower.
