Three weeks into this college football season, we’re still waiting to be wowed. Waiting to see someone step up and play like a champion. Waiting to see a team fully capable of grabbing that crystal football with two hands and not let go.
The 1-2 teams in the polls, Florida and Texas, took center stage Saturday. They were playing their first high-profile game of the season. They were playing at home. They were playing with ample motivation: the Gators wanting a pound of Tennessee coach Lane Kiffin’s flesh, the Longhorns looking for revenge upon Texas Tech.
There was an anticipated show of force. It didn’t happen.
Both delivered rather ho-hum 10-point victories. Neither put away the opposition.
The Longhorns were outgained by the Red Raiders. The Gators scuffled to just 13 first-half points.
