WHAT’S NEW WITH THE GATORS...WIN THE KICKING GAMEUF has blocked eight kicks: five punts, two FG and one extra point this season (school record, nine, 1995).The five punts matches 2006 for the most under Coach Meyer for UF. Seven of UF’s 16 blocked punts underCoach Meyer have come on its opponents’ opening drive of the game.Only six of Florida’s 13 opponents this year have started a drive in UF territory. Overall, UF has started 39drives in opponent territory this season and the Gators have scored on 28 of those.UF is averaging 14.4 yards per punt return (eighth nationally).Punt return defense allowing 4.8 yards per return (ninth nationally).Florida has punted only 42 times this season (T-13th lowest nationally).

TIME ON HIS SIDEIncluding bye weeks, bowl games, mid-week games and season openers, Urban Meyer is 26-3(.897) all-time when having more than one week to prepare for a game.

COMMON THREAD WEARING ORANGE AND BLUEUrban Meyer and Bob Stoops have each won a national championship at Florida. Stoopsserved as the Gators’ assistant coach and defensive coordinator under Steve Spurrier between1996-98 and was part of the 1996 title-winning staff. Meyer was the architect of UF’s nationalchampionship that capped off the school’s 100th year of football in 2006.

OTHER MEYER AND STOOPS’ CONNECTIONSUrban Meyer and Bob Stoops each won national championships in their second year: Stoops in2000 at OU and Meyer in 2006 at UF. They are two of six coaches all-time who have done so.Both coaches call the Buckeye State their home, as Meyer hails from Ashtabula (St. John H.S.)and Stoops calls Youngstown (Cardinal Mooney H.S.) home - This is the third-consecutive yearthat both coaches in the title game are Ohio natives.The duo crossed paths as assistant coaches when Meyer was at Colorado State and Stoopswas at Kansas State. Meyer worked with the Rams’ wide receivers from 1990-95, while Stoopsworked with the Wildcats’ defensive backs in 1989-90 and then as KSU’s co-defensive coordiatorfrom 1991-95 before accepting a job in Gainesville. They met in the 1995 Holiday Bowl.One of these individuals will become the first head coach to win a second BCS Championship.

SPECIAL OPPORTUNITY AWAITSUF looking to become fourth school in the modern era to win two outright national titles in threeyears. Schools that have won outright recognized national titles twice in three years in themodern era (1946-present) are listed below:Oklahoma - 1955-56Miami - 1987, ’89 (’91 was shared)Nebraska - 1994, ’95 (’97 was split)

Here are the other instances in which it has happened, but at least one of the polls was split:Notre Dame - 1946, ’47, ’49Michigan - 1947, ’48Tennessee - 1950, ’51Maryland - 1952, ’53Alabama - 1964, ’65Texas - 1969, ’70USC - 1972, ’74Nebraska - 1970, ’71Oklahoma - 1974, ’75Alabama - 1978, ’79USC - 2003, ’04

HEISMAN LINKFor the seventh time in the Bowl Championship Series Era, the Heisman Trophy winner couldbe playing in the title tilt, as quarterbacks Sam Bradford (Oklahoma) and Tim Tebow (Florida)are finalists for the prestigious accolade. The only Heisman winner to win a national champion-ship since the origin of the BCS is Southern Cal signal-caller Matt Leinart (2004).

The possibility exists that Heisman winners could face off for just the second time. Oklahomawas involved in the other one as well, when the 2003 winner, Sooner QB Jason White, met 2004recipient Matt Leinart in the 2005 Orange Bowl. No. 1 USC defeated the No. 2 Sooners, 55-19.

As a head coach, Urban Meyer has wonfour conference titles (2003, 2004 at Utah;2006 and 2008 at Florida).

Florida (9), Tennessee (5) and Georgia (3)are the only teams to represent the EasternDivision in the SEC Championship Game.

In six of UF’s nine SEC Championship Gameappearances, the Gators have faced Ala-bama. Florida lost the initial title game in Bir-mingham in 1992, the very first Division I-Aplayoff game in history, 28-21, to an Alabamateam that eventually won the national title thatseason. The Gators came back to beat theCrimson Tide, 28-13, in Birmingham in 1993and then posted a dramatic, 24-23 victory inAtlanta in 1994 over an unbeaten 11-0 Tidesquad. In 1996, the Gators once again beatAlabama, 45-30, in Atlanta on the way to aSugar Bowl appearance and a 52-20 win overFlorida State to claim the 1996 national title.In 1999, Alabama handed Florida a 34-7 lossin a highly-anticipated rematch of their earlier40-39 overtime game in Gainesville won bythe Tide. The Gators snapped the top-rankedTide’s 13-game winning streak with a 31-20victory at the Georgia Dome on Dec. 6.

CUrrenT UF Players in BoWls


WHAT’S NEW WITH THE GATORS...That game also featured four of the five Heisman finalists that year: Leinart (winner), Oklahomarunning back Adrian Peterson (runner-up), White (third) and USC running back Reggie Bush(fifth). Bush would take home the prize the following year.

CHAMPIONSHIP MEMORIESA total of 13 Gator players celebrated winning high school titles at Dolphin Stadium, site of the2009 FedEx BCS National Championship Game. Ahmad Black, John Brown, Maurkice Pouncey,Mike Pouncey, Chris Rainey, Steven Wilks and Paul Wilson were members of Lakeland HighSchool’s 2005 and 2006 back-to-back Class 5A winners. Tim Tebow and James Wilson collectedchampionship hardware for Nease, the 2005 Class 4A victors. Brandon James and Caleb Stugisearned rings playing for St. Augustine, the 2005 Class 3A champion. Janoris Jenkins’ 2006Pahokee squad brought home the Class 2B state title and Deonte Thompson was a member ofthe Glades Central team that claimed the 2006 Class 3A crown. Four other UF players played fora state title at the venue but fell short: Torrey Davis (Armwood, Class 4A in 2005), Marcus Gilbert(St. Thomas Aquinas, Class 5A in 2005 and 2006), John Jones (Booker, Class 3A in 2005) andMajor Wright (St. Thomas Aquinas, Class 5A in 2006).

SUCCESS IN THE DESERT CAPPED MAGICAL 2006 CAMPAIGNWith its 41-14 victory over Ohio State in the 2007 Tostitos BCS National Championship Game,Florida collected its second national title in school history. The Gators finished the 2006 seasonwith a 13-1 record, establishing a single-season school record for victories.

UF’s 2006 schedule was ranked as the toughest in the nation by the NCAA. Both of Florida’snational titles have come in a year that saw them play the country’s most challenging slate, asthey also held that honor in 1996. The only other school to capture the national crown whileplaying the nation’s toughest schedule was Colorado, which did so in 1990.

RECAPPING UF’S CHAMPIONSHIP RUN IN ‘96After posting a 12-1 record in 1995, with the one setback coming at the hands of Nebraska in thenational title game in the Fiesta Bowl, the Gators opened the 1996 campaign with high expecta-tions once again. After posting a 35-29 win (in which UF jumped to a 35-0 lead in the first 20minutes) at Tennessee in the third week of the season, in a much-hyped contest between DannyWuerffel and UT’s Peyton Manning, the Gators moved into the number one spot in the polls. Theyheld that spot until the last regular-season game of the year, when they suffered a 24-21 setbackto number-two ranked Florida State in Tallahassee and fell to a fourth-place ranking in the nationalpolls. Fate, however, would bring these two state rivals back together six weeks later in NewOrleans.

A week after the loss to Florida State, Texas upset number-three ranked Nebraska in the Big 12Championship Game. On that same night, the Gators defeated Alabama, 45-30, in Atlanta in theSEC Championship Game behind a six-touchdown performance by Wuerffel, which clinched theHeisman Trophy that he received the following week in New York. Entering the bowl seasonranked third, the Gators then saw Ohio State knock off second-ranked Arizona State at the RoseBowl in a dramatic last-second victory on New Year’s Day. That result now meant that the Jan. 2battle in New Orleans with top-ranked Florida State was for the 1996 national championship.

The Gators put together a tremendous all-around performance in posting a 52-20 victory overthe Seminoles, which led to a consensus national championship. The 32-point margin of victoryover FSU was the largest versus a top-ranked team in bowl history.

GATORS IN BOWL GAMESFlorida enters the game with a 16-19 (.457) all-time record in bowls, and is 1-4 against members ofthe Big 12 Conference. The Gators have not faced a Big 12 foe in a bowl since suffering a 62-24defeat to Nebraska in the Fiesta Bowl on Jan. 2, 1996.

BALANCED TEAMFlorida is the only school in the nation ranked inside the top 10 in both scoring offense and defense.The Gators are third in scoring offense (45.2) and fifth in scoring defense (12.8). The SEC has sixteams ranked in the top 25 in scoring defense, while the Gators are the only SEC team in the top 25in scoring offense.

SENIOR LEADERSHIPThe 2009 FedEx BCS National Championship Game will mark the final game for the 2008 seniorclass. The group has won a national title, two SEC titles and two January bowl games. The group hasposted an overall record of 43-9 (.827) and are 24-8 (.750) in SEC action. The class held a sterling25-2 (.926) record in “The Swamp”. The members of the 2008 senior class are: Curtis Carr, TateCasey, John Curtis, Jamaal Deveaux, Javier Estopinan, Andrew Fritze, Brad Hiers, Cornelius Ingram,Andrew Johnson, Bobby Kane, Kestahn Moore, Louis Murphy, Kyle Newell, Jonathan Phillips, KylePratt, Butch Rowley, James Smith, Jim Tartt, Greg Taussig, Phil Trautwein and Jason Watkins.

With 43 wins, the 2008 senior class currently ranks fourth for victories in a four-year span at Florida.The 1996 senior class compiled a record of 45-6-1 (.875), with the school’s first national title (1996),four-consecutive SEC crowns and two Sugar Bowl triumphs. A triumph in Miami would enable the2008 group to equal the 1997 (44-6-1) and 1998 (44-6) senior classes.

THE TEAMFlorida is 12-1 for the first time since 2006 and has won at least 11 games for the fifth time in schoolhistory (1993, ‘95, ‘96, ‘06, ‘08). Florida did not lose to an SEC East team this year and has goneundefeated against division teams 10 times in school history.

The Gators have scored 587 points this season, eclipsing the previous school record of 559 pointsset during the 1996 season. Meyer’s 2007 squad totaled 552 points, now third-highest at UF.

Florida was the first team in the history of the Southeastern Conference to win six-straight leaguegames by 28-plus points. UF scored 30-or-more points on all of its league opponents in the regularseason for the first time in school history and tacked on 31 more in its last game against Alabama.

Entering the SEC Championship Game, Florida had scored 42-or-more points in each of its lastseven games, which was the longest active streak in the nation. UF is the only league team in thehistory of the SEC to score 42-or-more points in seven-straight games. UF’s streak was the longestof Coach Meyer’s career.

On its way to a 12-0 start, Alabama had never trailed in the second half this season until the Gatorscountered with a 14-point fourth quarter to turn a 20-17 deficit into a 31-20 triumph.

Florida entered the SEC Championship Game having won eight-straight games, all by 28 points ormore. The Gators were the first major-college team to win eight-consecutive games by that marginsince Minnesota in 1903. The Gophers had nine-straight that season, but five of the games wereagainst non-major competition, and two of them were against high school teams. No other team hasdone it since 1900. Eight Ivy League schools did it in the 1800s. (thanks to Jim Howell of jhowell.net)

THE STAFFFor the first time since his initial season, head coach Urban Meyer introduced new members of the coaching staff as the following assistants are in their firstseason in Gainesville: Dan McCarney (Assistant Head Coach, Defense/Defensive Line); Kenny Carter (Running Backs); Vance Bedford (Cornerbacks).

There were 11 new coordinators at SEC schools this fall. Florida and Vanderbilt were the only two schools in the league that have had their offensive anddefensive coordinators in the position at their school each of the last three seasons.

The Florida defensive staff has 102 years of combined collegiate coaching experience: Chuck Heater (32), Charlie Strong (25), Vance Bedford (15), DanMcCarney (30). Including this season, the defensive staff has 20 years combined of experience as defensive coordinators.

Defensive coordinator Charlie Strong is in his sixth season at the position. The last time UF had a defensive coordinator for that length of time was DougKnotts who held the position from 1970-78. Only Knotts and Gene Ellenson (1963-69) have held the position longer than Coach Strong in UF records datingback to 1960.

Two of the 2008 Broyles Award finalists, Charlie Strong (Florida) and Kevin Wilson (Oklahoma), were in the same finalist class in 2000, but with differentteams (Strong at South Carolina, WIlson at Northwestern). Only three assistants in the 13-year history of the Broyles Award have been finalists at twodifferent schools. Norm Chow was the third (BYU, 1996; Southern California, 2002/Winner).

MEYER & DONOVAN LEAD DRIVE TO RAISE $50 MILLION FOR UF’S FLORIDA OPPORTUNITY SCHOLARS PROGRAM Urban Meyer and Billy Donovan agreed to lead a campus charge to raise $50 million for UF’s Florida Opportunity Scholars Program in October of 2008.The program was created by UF President Bernie Machen to provide financial assistance to first-generation, financially disadvantaged students workingtowards a bachelor’s degree.

The 2008 Gators returned 11 seniors total. The total matched 2002 and 2006 for the most since the 2000 team brought back 14.

Going into 2007, the Gators brought only three players back that started playing for UF in the fall of 2003 (Andre Caldwell, Clint McMillan and CarltonMedder). This season, UF brought back six players that started in the fall of 2004 (Tate Casey, Javier Estopinan, Cornelius Ingram, Jim Tartt, PhilTrautwein and Jason Watkins).

Prior to the season, UF had five players with ACL injures: Cornelius Ingram (left); Jim Barrie (right); Brendan Beal (left); Dorian Munroe (right); JohnCurtis (left). The injuries to Munroe and Curtis happened prior to August practices, while the others occurred during preseason workouts. Ingram wasinjured in a non-contact drill on the second day of August practices.

The defensive line entered this season having lost only one player to the NFL Draft from the previous year (Derrick Harvey). Prior to 2007, the unit had fourplayers selected in the draft (Jarvis Moss, Ray McDonald, Marcus Thomas, Joe Cohen). Florida has had six defensive linemen drafted under Coach Meyer,the highest total in the nation over the past three years.

In 2007, Brandon Spikes and Dustin Doe were Florida’s leading tacklers with 131 and 85, respectively. In 2006, Earl Everett finished with 85 tackles to leadthe Gators. A linebacker has led the Gators in the department each of the last three seasons and five of the last six.

For the first time since Jabar Gaffney (2000-01), the Gators returned their top receiver from the prior season, as Percy Harvin led UF with 59 catches for858 yards in 2007. In records dating back to 1955, there have been 13 players to lead the team in receptions in back-to-back seasons.

Florida returned Tim Tebow at quarterback who became the only player in college football history to win the Heisman Trophy as a sophomore. Tebow wasthe fifth quarterback to return to school after winning the award joining Roger Staubach, Ty Detmer, Jason White and Matt Leinart. Detmer, White andLeinart all finished third in the Heisman voting during the season that followed their Heisman-winning campaign.
