For example, how could you not rule Chris Leak's fumble incomplete when seeing it live? Everyone in the press box I spoke to thought it was an incomplete pass before anyone saw the replay. My point is, the official might have ruled it a fumble so the play wasn't blown dead and Blackmon's fumble return wasn't stopped before it could get started. Perhaps, the official thought he should just let it play out and the ruling could get overturned on review. Officials need to forget instant replay exists. They need to make the calls that they should be making on instinct. Forget about the possibility of changing your own call because it's becoming awfully difficult to get "indisputable evidence." This is not what instant replay was intended for. No way that looked like a fumble at full speed. It doesn't even look like a fumble on replay.

- Unless UF wins a championship this year, Chris Leak will be remembered for his mistakes at UF, and not for his impressive record and accomplishments, which is unfortunate.

- Auburn's offense works best when Brandon Cox is getting rid of the ball quickly. He rarely has enough time to drop back, wait for receivers to get open downfield, and throw deep. The offensive line must get better.

- I did not see the punt block. I heard the punt block. Just before UF punted, I looked down and started taking some notes. A few seconds later I heard the stadium erupt in what might have been the loudest single moment I've ever experienced at a football game.

- After the game, two Auburn fans told me, without me even asking, that was the loudest they had ever heard Jordan-Hare Stadium.

- UF's already stingy defense will be much better now with Marcus Thomas playing regularly.

- Auburn's already stingy defense will be much better now with Tray Blackmon playing regularly.

- Kenny Irons gets a lot of press, as he should, but Brad Lester will be nearly as important to Auburn's success the rest of the way. It's another great backfield for Running Back U.

- When people predict games, they often forget about special teams. In the end, Auburn's terrific special teams unit, led by kicker John Vaughn, was the reason I thought the Tigers would win. It turned out that it was Florida's disappointing special teams unit that lost the game for the Gators.

- I HATE the new clock rules. I think the Gators probably do as well. It was bad enough they had to use their last timeout to challenge that fumble call. They then had to deal with the clock starting on changes of possession and on kickoffs. Terrible rules. I hope this is the last year we see them.
