hawaii football - Florida vs Hawaii, The Quasi-Live Blog

hawaii football - Yes, Busta, you’re right. We made it…finally.

Good thing this is only a “quasi-live” blog of the Florida/Hawaii tussle since it’s getting started part way through the second quarter. Oh well, better late than never, and as Kanye said “you should be honored by my lateness”.

Anyway, Major Wright just gave the Gators a pick-six, and the secondary has looked pretty good. Though, it’s not like Colt Brennan is still under center for Hawaii. Wright has also laid the wood on a few tackles, and if he can cover pass routes as good as he hits this season then we could see an heir to RFN’s stature as “scary fuckin’ safety”.

Joe Haden just recovered a fumble, and UF’s secondary is all over the field today. There are five of them covering sideline to sideline, so they better be blanketing a lot of turf.

Brandon James returns a punt for a TD, and there’s a flag…wait…no there’s not. It’s a fucking miracle! Hopefully that’s a sign of good things to come.

Chris Rainey for a TD. Yes, he is one of the fastest guys in college football, and it’s nice to see him socring when he gets his hands on the ball.

Speed. Last season it seemed that if a defender made a mistake there was no one else to help out. So far this season, Florida’s defense is swarming with DB’s, LB’s and D-linemen.

Real life is taking over now, so this will end the “live blog”. So far, I’m pleased by what I’ve seen out of Florida. Hopefully, the offense can get on track a bit more because they’ll need to score points and put together long drives when they start their SEC schedule.
