TBG’s MVPs: Florida 23 – Tennessee 13 AND Florida 41 – Kentucky 7

Since I completely forgot to post the awards for the

Florida

/

Tennessee

game, you get a double dip with that and the Florida/

Kentucky

game this week.

Florida 23 – Tennessee 13

Offensive MVP:

Three votes. Three winners.

Emmanuel Moody

for play that would’ve resulted in stellar statistics had the coaching staff kept him on the field.

Tim Tebow

for carrying the Gator to the win. And

Jeffery Demps

for playing hard despite a case of the temperatures.

Defensive MVP: Ryan Stamper.

Stamper is one of those lunch-pail types that just gets the job done. You’ll never find yourself cursing him after a bad play. He doesn’t make mistakes.

Play of the Game: Tebow’s 4-yard run on 3rd and 3. Vintage Tebow…er…Ta-dow!

Surprise Player of the Game: Caleb Sturgis. We’ve been wondering for a while when Sturgis was going to add accuracy to power. It’s happened and he finally earned the kicking job.

Bouskilla Award (Hardest Hit): Tebow sending Dennis Rogan’s head back to Knoxville early. Jaye Howard for rolling with it. And Tebow vs. Berry. All worthy choices.

Kyle Jackson Memorial Trophy (Player Who Shouldn’t Have Been Out There): Brandon James the wide receiver. We all love Brandon James the kick/punt returner. We even like Brandon James the running back on occasion. Brandon James the wide receiver did make a great catch against Troy. But overall, the receiver version isn’t desirable. It’s not so much his fault as the wide receiver problem as a whole. But please, no more Brandon James the wide receiver.

Florida 41 – Kentucky 7

Offensive MVP: Tim Tebow. Tim Tebow. Tim Tebow. All three votes to the man who carries the entire Gator team.

Defensive MVP: Joe Haden for his strong showing despite having those damn, dirty flu-like symptoms. And Brandon Spikes for coming out and playing like we all know he can. As One Eyed Willy said “not is best game by any means, but by far his best this year.”

Play of the Game: Punt block, touchdown, Chris Rainey. There was no doubt about this one. Kentucky dreaded the punt block coming into this game. Mr. White Girls gave it his all.

Surprise Player of the Game: Emmanuel Moody for actually playing. He only ended up with six touches, but seemed to be on the field quite a bit. Has the coaching staff softened their stance on the talented running back? Time will tell.

Bouskilla Award (Hardest Hit): Joe Haden getting a near safety and Will Hill running through someone of the sidelines get their votes, but another Gator gets mention hear as well. For the hit that made the most impact (maybe on the entire Florida season), Marcus Gilbert. Talk about shear wrong place at the wrong time. That someone would be in the exact spot where Tebow was crashing to the ground has to be one in a million.

Kyle Jackson Memorial Trophy (Player Who Shouldn’t Have Been Out There): Wondy Pierre-Louis got another mention and two of us went with David Nelson. A personal foul was out of character for #83 and nearly taking out James on a return didn’t help. We also had a vote for whoever played right tackle for the Gators (you could probably give it to whoever played the right side of the line as a matter of fact). The line as a whole needs to step up. Now!
