Snapping a losing streak

A lot of Gator fans were biting their nails this evening, as our #5 ranked team took on the Miami Hurricanes in the Swamp.

In fact, there were 90,833 folks in attendance at the game--a Swamp record.

The reason they were biting their nails was the storied history of the rivalry between the two schools--one that includes a losing streak for the Gators that dates all the way back to 1986.

The nervousness continued all the way through half-time, when the Orange and Blue was only ahead by a score of 9-3.

Both teams returned for the second half, to continue the battle of attrition between their defenses.

There were only 13 minutes left on the clock when Tim Tebow and the Gator offense finally broke the stalemate, making it a 16-3 game. That finally sucked the emotion out of the Canes, and they quickly gave up another 10 points.

Final score: GATORS 26, hurricanes 3.

Oh, and Tebow has now thrown 130 consecutive passes without an interception, a school record.

Georgia is now officially on notice.
