the day before Game Day!
Florida v. North Texas
1. Florida HAS played North Texas before, once… and the series goes to the Mean Green in their 20-12 win over the Gators in 1947.
2. Del Rio logged the most passing yards (360) vs an SEC opponent since 2004 (Chris Leak 322 vs Arkansas).
Thats right, he passed more (in an SEC game) than Tebow ever did, more than John Brantley, Jacoby Brissett, Jeff Driskel and all 4 of the 2013-2015 QBs.
3. All eyes were on Eddy Pineiro, #15, as he kicked a 54 yard Field Goal against Kentucky…
you may be wondering (as I was in the stands) what IS the current record?
Was it Caleb Sturgis’ 56 yard bomb vs UGA in 2009?
Thats the one I could remember.
No. It wasn't, Sturgis has the 2nd longest Field Goal in Florida Football History…
Chris Perkins holds the record for a 60 yard FG in a 1984 game!
Note: One of Pineiro’s kickoffs last Saturday went through the uprights… thats the distance of a 75 yard FG. Just saying.
4. Gainesville may have been named one of the top 12 Greenest Cities in the US but the Mean Green’s Apogee Stadium was the FIRST stadium to be LEED certified and is powered by three electric windmills. #GoGreen
5. Player To Watch: RB Lamical Perine #22, almost looked like Emmitt in that orange on orange #22 on Saturday.
Perine is a true freshman from Theodore Alabama.
He carried 17 times for 105 of the 244 total rushing yards vs UK, w his longest carry of 36 yards.
He also had 1 TD reception.
