Florida looked like a total scoring machine, although it came against an undersized FCS team. The Gators defeated FCS No.2 Appalachian State, 48-10. The Gators are now 7-4, with this victory in their final home game of the season.The Gators played well in all phases of the game, but UF's success must be considered due to the fact, that Appy State is not an SEC team. The Mountaineers are a good team, but they do not have the depth or size to compete with a FBS team. While Florida can deploy five-star recruits in waves, Appy State has nothing close.
The Gators had 547 yards of offense, scoring on their first three drives. Aside from a Jordan Reed touchdown pass to John Brantley, Florida did not show anything that anyone has not seen before. The difference being, playing a team with players 30 pounds lighter and two steps slower. Brantley was 16/22 for 222 yards and an interception, plus his receiving touchdown. Reed threw for one score and had another three on the ground, rushing for 71 yards on 11 carries. Chris Rainey and Trey Burton also had touchdowns.
After the game, Urban Meyer was asked what he took take away from this game. He said he wasn't quite sure. That is the apparent problem; did UF win because they played well or because App. State was no match. We'll find out Saturday at FSU how good and serious this team really is.
