Look at that Florida has a gamer at quarterback in from seestyle's blog

Of all the lo ses and all the moments over the last decade, nothing will crush Tenne see souls like what unfolded lateSaturday afternoon in Gainesville.And nothing could be bigger that what Florida found in yet another win over rival Tenne see: a quarterback.MORE: | | Florida, which hasnt had a gamer at quarterback since some , found a quarterback that brought back some of that magic in a big way.Will Grier rallied the Gators from two scores down, got help Mikie Mahtook Jersey from some truly awful coaching decisions from Tenne see and extended Floridas winning streak over the Vols to 11 games.Theyll talk for years about the way this one ended, about how Florida scored two touchdowns in the last four minutes and how Vols coach Butch Jones failed to go for two to leave his team a point down and how Jones clock management put a nice, Alex Wilson Jersey neat bow on the Tenne see implosion.But there was something much more important for Florida: Grier, the freshman who redshirted last year after showing up weighing 168 pounds, was 5-for-5 for 123 yards and a TD on fourth downs.Thats a gamer.Thats not John Brantley or Jordan Reed or Jeff Driskel or Skyler Mornhinweg or anyone else who tried to play quarterback since Tebow graduated after the 2009 season.Thats a gutty, gritty and talented quarterback who, despite a shaky (at best) protection, made big plays when it mattered most. It wasnt all pretty, but it was close to magnificent every time the Gators needed a play.None was Spencer Turnbull Jersey bigger than the last fourth down conversion, a fourth-and-14 and Florida staring at its last chance. Grier waited for the route to develop, stepped up in the pocket and threw a strike to freshman Antonio Calloway, who got a key block and .He actually looked pretty steady in the pocket on those two drives, said Florida coach Jim McElwain. That was good to see.Because thats whats important here.Even if Tenne see had come back in the final seconds to win the game with a Willie Horton Jersey field goal a 55-yarder was just right of the upright Florida still would have walked way with the knowledge that it has a quarterback. Finally.Grier had strong numbers in his second start (283 yards, 2 TD, 1 INT), but they dont tell the story of a player who was hara sed and hit constantly by a brutal rush and never stopped making big throws.He was far from perfect, mi sing numerous throws (Florida receivers were running free all game) and at times running out of the pocket instead of stepping up. But despite the rough moments, despite being down two scores with six minutes to play and the offensive line showing no signs of being able to stop the Vols pa s rush James McCann Jersey , Grier made it work.Just this week, Florida scripted that very pa s the game-winner in preparation for this game.I havent seen it go for a touchdown (in practice), McElwain said. But Im sure glad it did.Hes just as fortunate he found a quarterback.
