What we learned from Week 10 of College Football...Florida 49 vs. Georgia 10

With all of the talk about Tim Tebow one would think he put up 400 yards of offense, but in reality he passed for just 154 yards and ran for 39. His five touchdowns are what made him the star of all the highlight reels, but that's because they're easy to package and tell a simpler story than the real story that took place this weekend. Florida's defense looked impressive. And Matthew Stafford looked exactly like the quarterback that he is--making poor decisions in not getting rid of the ball and making weak throws that resulted in costly interceptions. He would have had four interceptions had it not been for a Florida penalty that erased his mistake. And Muhammad Massequoi was quite impressive...on defense, stopping more than one of Stafford's mistakes from becoming scores. But in the end, Georgia's four turnovers resulted in 21 Florida points. On the score that put the Gators up 21-3, Tebow got all the glory, but Joe Haden did all of the work with the interception that he returned 88 yards to set his quarterback up for the score.

you're dead on with this one, which makes me believe 'Bama will match up well against the Gators
