Homecoming

Weekly Report Posted: February 06, 2009 19:49
From the locker room:
- Coaches have been driving the team mad with intense practices all week, as they get ready to take on the Warriors in thier season openner.
Gators Dazzle Fans with Home Coming Win
Warriors 6, Gators 45
The Play:
- Moody`s 10 yd dash to the end zone in the 2nd Quarter trashed any comeback hopes for the Warriors.
Game Notes:
- Tebow had 3 touchdown passes as he lead the Gators offense to an incredible home coming win. Jenkins and Pierre-Louis lead the defensive line for a combined total of 15 Tackles, while Strong Safety Munroe on an unbelievable pick sailed down the open field for a 79 Yd Touchdown in the dieing minutes of the game.
The Skinny:
- Fullback Pridemore took an unfortunate hit in the 3rd quarter, fumbling the ball, and sidelining him for the rest of the game. Team doctors expect him to make a full recovery by next week.
Coaches Word:
- Playing your first game of the season at home is really something special, but when you can put it all together on the field and give your fans a win. Well thats just football heaven..
- I was very impressed with the way our offensive line pushed the ball down the field today. And if Tebow comes out and plays like he did today every game, then Conference title here we come.
- Losing Pridemore in the third quarter was definately felt on the offensive line, especially during our running plays. But with some R&R and a couple of light practices early next week he should be up to par and ready to take on Miami.
Final Word:
- Home coming festivities start tonight, as the Gator`s team and cheerleaders host a bonfire bash down at the lake. Good thing the Gators won...
