To read all his work, click here, or visit him at ) Ive got bad news for Florida fans: Your football team isnt as good as last years.But Ive also got some good news: It might not matter.On Saturday Florida played an SEC slugfest with LSU that made the next days NFL action look tame by comparison It was physical and it was nasty. Ive honestly seen MMA fights with less blood-shed then the Gators 13-3 victory in Death Valley.The story coming into the game was Tim Tebow, and the concussion that left him more woozy than Courtney Love after a night out on the town. Could he play Could he be effective Would there be a pre-game prayer without himAnd when Urban Meyer came out and said that not only would he play, but that the game-plan might be altered a little to protect him, I thought the Gators were in trouble.

He chest-bumped teammates and yelled words of encouragement on the sidelines. He even channeled his old missionary work, and circumcised a few LSU players at halftime (Ok that last one might not have happened.)Most importantly though, if this guy was feeling the effects of the concussion, then I might need to get my own head checked. He was the same leader and superstar he seems to be every Saturday.Watching the game on CBS, Gary Danielson described the win better than I could have, calling it mature, which is exactly what it was. A week ago Georgia couldnt beat LSU because they gave up too many big plays and got too many inopportune penalties (even if one in particular was completely bogus). Florida on Saturday was the exactly opposite, and played about as mistake free as you can.But watching this game, it just felt like something was just missing, like Florida just isnt as good as a year ago.
