WHAT’S NEW WITH THE GATORS... 

Florida Freshmen Notes From 2007 Season 

UF started a true freshman on opening day for the third-straight year under head coach Urban 

Meyer. 

UF started three true freshmen on opening day for the first time in school history (Maurkice 

Pouncey, Joe Haden and Chas Henry). Haden and Pouncey became the first true freshmen to start 

on opening day in UF history at cornerback and offensive guard, respectively. Chas Henry was the 

eighth true freshman punter to start on opening day. 

Tight end Aaron Hernandez started the Troy game and became the first true freshman to start at 

the position since Tate Casey did so against Middle Tennessee State in 2004. Also, free safety Major 

Wright started the Auburn game. The last true freshman to start at free safety for Florida was Lester 

Norwood against The Citadel in 1998. 

Overall, 42 players who saw action in the 2007 season opener were either freshmen or sophomores. 

Fourteen true freshmen played, as did 10 redshirt freshmen. UF played 64 players total, 21 

of those were making their first-ever appearance in “The Swamp.” 

Florida’s 14 true freshmen and 24 overall freshmen that played in the season opener were the most 

by any team in the Southeastern Conference. 

HEAD COACH URBAN MEYER 

UF head coach Urban Meyer is 12-4 (.750) against ranked opponents all-time and owns a 10-4 

(.714) against ranked opponents while with the Gators. 

Coach Meyer has started his Florida career with a 16-1 (.941) record in “The Swamp” and is 38-3 

(.927) at home as a head coach: 

With the win over Tennessee, Urban Meyer became the only head coach in Florida history to open 

his career with three-straight wins over the Vols. 

Florida has been ranked in the AP, Coaches’ and BCS polls each week since Urban Meyer’s arrival 

in Gainesville, which is a streak of 38-straight AP and Coaches’ polls (based on polls as of Oct. 7).

SERIES NOTES 

The two teams first met in 1917 in Lexington. Florida has won each of the last nine meetings 

between the two in Lexington, last losing at Commonwealth Stadium in 1986. Kentucky has not 

won at Florida Field since 1979, a streak of 14 straight Florida wins. 

Florida has dominated the series in recent years after UK dominated in the early years. The 

Wildcats won 12 of the first 16 games played between the two schools, but the Gators have won 

26 of the last 27 meetings and 36 of the last 41 games. 

These two SEC schools have met annually since 1967, with the Gators holding a 35-5 series 

edge in the 40 games played since that season. 

Florida was 9-1 vs. Kentucky in the decade of the 1980s and 10-0 in the 90s. Only five games have 

been played outside of Lexington or Gainesville, with the Wildcats winning three of those five games. 

Florida’s 35-19 victory over Kentucky in 1991, which clinched the Gators’ first official SEC title, ranks 

as one of the most memorable victories in school history.

total yards. LSU entered the game allowing an average of 174.6 yards per game before playing 

Florida. 

Against LSU, Florida converted six-of-nine third-down attempts. UF had 12 plays of 10-or-more 

yards and the offense committed no penalties. 

Florida’s scoring offense is ranked 11th nationally and second in the Southeastern Conference 

(39.7). The last time Florida ended a season ranked first in scoring offense was in 2001 (43.8). The 

Florida offense has scored on 35 of its 68 drives this year for a league-best 51.4 percent. 

UF started the year with four-consecutive games with 500-plus yards in total offense. The streak of 

four was the longest since UF started the 2001 season with five games of 500-plus yards of total 

offense. 

Florida’s 17 rushing touchdowns are tied for tied for 10th nationally and are the second-highest total 

by an SEC team (LSU, 22). 

On the season, the Gators are 35-of-68 on third-down conversions (51.0 pct.). UF ranks first in the 

SEC and fifth nationally on third-down conversions. 

UF is outscoring all opponents, 65-24, in the fourth quarter this season and is out-scoring SEC 

teams, 41-17, in the last quarter of the game. 

The Florida offense is 30-of-33 in the red zone this season, with 25 touchdowns and five field goals. 

Last season, UF made its 33rd visit to the red zone in the 13th game of the year. 

Under head coach Urban Meyer, the Gators have out-rushed 27 of 31 opponents (10-of-12 in 2005, 

12-of-13 in 2006, 5-of-6 in 2007). 

QUARTERBACKS 

Tim Tebow’s passer rating of 173.1 is the fourth-highest in the nation. He has completed 65.5 

percent of his passes, which is the 23rd-highest mark in the country and is the second best in the 

Southeastern Conference. Tebow has thrown eight passes for 40-or-more yards this season, which 

WWW.GATORZONE.COM


is already three higher than UF did all of last season. 

During the LSU game, Tim Tebow scored his ninth rushing touchdown of the year to establish 

a new single-season record for rushing TDs by a quarterback. As a freshman, Tebow had eight, 

which equaled Jimmy Fisher’s mark set in 1976. 

In Florida’s game against LSU, Tim Tebow rushed for one touchdowns to bring his career total 

to 17 and his season total to nine. Tebow’s nine rushing touchdowns in 2007 rank as the top total 

in the nation by a quarterback and are tied for 13th nationally among all players: 

Quarterback Rushing TD Total 

1. Tim Tebow (UF) 9 

2. Kaipo-Noa Kaheaku-Enhada (Navy) 8 

Dan LeFevour (Central Michigan) 8 

4. Patrick White (W. Va.) 7 

In his last outing, Tim Tebow threw for a pair of touchdown passes to bring his career total 

against LSU up to four. In the past two years, no quarterback in the country has thrown more 

touchdown passes against LSU than Tebow (four). 

Tim Tebow’s nine rushing touchdowns this season are as many or more than 46 teams currently 

have combined in Division I-A. Tebow is averaging 325.8 yards of total offense a game, which is 

higher than the total of 18 teams in Division I-A. 

Against LSU, Tim Tebow rushed for a touchdown for the seventh-straight game which tied the 

school record. The only other UF player to rush for a touchdown in seven-straight games was 

Errict Rhett, who did so in seven-straight games over the 1991-92 seasons. The chart below 

shows the national leaders in consecutive games in which they have scored at least one rushing 

touchdown: 

Streak of Scoring at Least One Rushing TD (active) 

1. Ray Rice, Rutgers, 13 straight games 

2. Tim Tebow, Florida, seven straight games 

Tim Tebow is Florida’s active career leader in rushing yards with 969, which is a school record 

for rushing yards by a quarterback. The previous career record for rushing yards by a quarterback 

at UF was 786 by Larry Libetore (1960-62). 

Tebow among National Leaders In Yards Per carry 

In his career, Tim Tebow has run the ball 194 times for 969 yards a UF record for quarterbacks. 

His 5.0 average yards per carry is tied for the third-highest total nationally among quarterbacks 

through 2006 and 2007 combined: 

Quarterback Rushing Avg. in 2006-07 (min. 175 carries) 

1. Pat White (West Virginia) 7.0 

2. Stephen McGee (Texas A&M) 5.3 

3. Tim Tebow (Florida) 5.0 

Over the past three seasons, Tim Tebow has been a part of teams that have gone 30-5 overall. As 

the starting quarterback at Nease High School as a senior in 2005, he helped lead the school to its 

first-ever Class 4A state championship. As a freshman at UF in 2006, he played in all 14 games in his 

role as the backup quarterback on the national championship squad. He is 4-2 as Florida’s starting 

quarterback in 2007. 

Against Ole Miss, Tim Tebow finished the game with 427 yards of total offense which is the top 

performance in the SEC this year and the sixth-highest in school history. Tebow rushed for 166 yards 

on 27 carries. His rushing total was the second-highest by any quarterback in the nation this season, 

while his carries were the most. 

Tim Tebow’s 166 rushing yards against Ole Miss set a single-game record for a UF quarterback 

and were the most by any UF player since Ciatrick Fason rushed for 170 on 26 carries vs. Vanderbilt 

in 2004. The previous single-game rushing high by a quarterback was 109 by Larry Rentz (vs. 

Tulane, 10/14/67).Tebow’s 27 carries were the most by a UF player since Fason rushed 31 times 

against Kentucky in 2004. The total was also one short of the single game record by a UF sophomore 

held by Emmitt Smith (vs. Kentucky, 1988). 

Tim Tebow was the ninth consecutive season-opening quarterback to take over as a starter as a 

freshman or sophomore following Wayne Peace, Kerwin Bell, Kyle Morris, Shane Matthews, 

Danny Wuerffel, Doug Johnson, Rex Grossman and Chris Leak. Bell, Matthews, Wuerffel and 

Grossman led UF to either the best record in the SEC or a league title in their first year as a 

starter. 


NEXT UP 

The Florida-Georgia game will be held on 

Saturday, Oct. 27, at Jacksonville’s Alltel Stadium. 

The game is one of the longest and most 

storied rivalries in college football. This year’s 

meeting will be the 85th between the two 

schools, as it it the longest series between 

Florida and any opponent. The contest marks 

the 75th time the Florida-Georgia game will be 

held in Jacksonville. UF has won 15 of the last 

17 meetings and 17 of the previous 23 encounters. 

As a squad, UF has won eight-straight 

over Georgia, Tennessee and Florida State. 

The current streak over the three is the longest 

in school history.

UF 48, Cincinnati 17 – Gainesville, Fla. 

For the second-consecutive week, the Florida offensive 

unit piled up over 500 yards of total offense 

enroute to a 48-17 Homecoming win against the 

Bearcats. UF registered 31 first downs, 393 rushing 

yards, and 578 yards of total offense. 

Running back Neal Anderson extended his UF 

record with his ninth 100-yard rushing game of his 

career. Kerwin Bell’s 11 TD passes (after seven games) 

tied the Gator team total for the 1983 season. 

Florida head coach Urban Meyer was on the Cincinnati 

sideline that day, as he was a defensive back 

for the Bearcats. Meyer had three tackles on the day. 

Oct. 20, 1990- Florida vs. Akron 

UF 59, Akron 0 – Gainesville, Fla. 

The Gators Homecoming game was their most 

lopsided victory since a 69-0 win over Montana State 

in 1988. It was also their widest victory margin in a 

Homecoming victory since a 77-14 defeat of West 

Texas State in 1982. The shutout was UF’s first since 

a 21-0 win over Mississippi State in 1989. 

The Gators, led by Shane Matthews, churned up 

595 yards of total offense, the third-highest singlegame 

total in school history, including a season-high 

247 yards rushing. With 33 first downs, Florida set a 

new school record that had stood since 1967. 

The Gator defense did not allow the Zips offense to 

penetrate closer than the UF 42-yard line all game and 

allowed no first downs in the second half.

against Western Kentucky to become the first UF quarterback to throw for 300-or-more yards in 

his first career start since Shane Matthews (1990, 332). 

RUNNING BACKS 

Kestahn Moore is second on the team with four rushing touchdowns this season. He had only three 

rushing touchdowns in his career prior to the 2007 season. 

In the LSU game, UF averaged 4.9 yards per rush against an LSU squad that was ranked No. 1 in 

the nation allowing just 1.3 yards per rush entering the game. Kestahn Moore averaged 6.6 yards 

per carry. Florida finished with 156 yards on the game after the Tigers surrendered just 195 rushing 

yards in its five previous games (nation’s best 39.0 yards per game). 

This season, the Florida running backs have carried the ball 78 times for 433 yards and four rushing 

touchdowns. As a group, they are averaging 5.5 yards per carry. 

WIDE RECEIVERS AND TIGHT ENDS 

Against LSU, Cornelius Ingram caught his team-leading fourth touchdown pass of the season. His 

37-yard reception was UF’s fourth touchdown pass of 30-or-more yards this year. In 2006, UF had 

four touchdown passes total on throws of 30-or-more yards. 

This season, Percy Harvin is first on the team with 698 all-purpose yards and is averaging 116.3 

yards per game. He has rushed for 185 yards on 27 carries and has a team-leading 32 catches for 

513 yards. Harvin’s 185 rushing yards are the fifth-highest total in the nation for any receiver. 

Percy Harvin has 613 rushing yards in his career, which are the most by a Florida wide receiver in 

school history. The second-higest total is Wes Chandler’s 356 (1976-77). Harvin’s 428 rushing yards 

in 2006 are the top single-season total by a UF receiver. His 185 yards this year are already the thirdhighest, 

as Wes Chandler had 353 in 1977. 

Over the last four games, Percy Harvin has had 26 catches for 418 yards (16.0 yards per catch and 

104.5 yards per game). 

With his 119-yard receiving performance against Auburn, Percy Harvin became the first Gator to 

have three-straight 100-yard receiving games since Reche Caldwell put together a four-game 

stretch during the 2001 season (vs. Kentucky, Mississippi State, LSU and Auburn). 

Against Tennessee, Percy Harvin became the fourth Gator to have a 100-yard receiving game. 

Last season, only two Florida receivers went over 100 yards and they did so only four times. Florida 

is one of three teams nationally to have four different receivers with single-game 100-yard performances 

(BYU, Hawaii). 

This season, Harvin has seen the ball 59 times (32 receptions and 27 carries) and is averaging 11.8 

yards per touch. 

Against Tennessee, Riley Cooper caught his third touchdown of the season, which is tied with 

Percy Harvin for the second highest total on the squad. Cooper has caught six passes this season 

total (50 percent of his receptions are for touchdowns). He has caught 10 passes on his career and 

six have been for touchdowns (60 percent). 

As a group, the Florida wide receivers have carried the ball 40 times for 263 yards and two 

touchdowns (avg. 6.6 yards per carry). Florida is one of three schools in the nation that have multiple 

receivers with nine-or-more rushing attempts this season. 

This season is the third time in school history that UF has had four different players with 100-yard 

receiving games (1985, 1993). UF has never had five different players with 100-yard games in a 

single season. 

This season, three Florida wide receivers have taken direct snaps, as Andre Caldwell, Percy Harvin 

and Jarred Fayson have done so. 

Andre Caldwell needs 39 catches to establish a new school record for career receptions (172, 

Carlos Alvarez, 1969-71). Currently, Caldwell is 10th on the all-time list with 134 catches. He needs 

seven more to match his brother Reche at seventh (1999-01). 

Riley Cooper led the Gator receivers in the season opener against Western Kentucky with four 

WWW.GATORZONE.COM


receptions for 122 yards and two touchdowns, while Andre Caldwell finished the day with three 

catches for 103 yards. The two were the first Gator duo to have over 100 yards receiving in the same 

game since Jemalle Cornelius and Chad Jackson did so against Kentucky in 2005. 

In 2006, Percy Harvin became the first freshman since 2003 (LSU’s Justin Vincent) to be chosen as 

the Most Valuable Player of the SEC Championship Game. Harvin became the fifth player in school 

history to earn the distinction and the fourth to return the following year. The chart below shows how 

the Gators who have returned after gaining the MVP honor have performed: 

Player SEC Champ. MVP Following Season Stats 

Terry Dean 1993 1994: 109-of-180 for 1,492 yards and 20 TDs 

Danny Wuerffel 1995 1996: 207-of-360 for 3,625 yards and 39 TDs (Heisman Winner) 

Rex Grossman 2000 2001: 259-of-395 for 3,896 yards and 34 TDs (Heisman Runner-Up) 

Under the guidance of position coach Billy Gonzales, the leading receiver on the team over the last 

six years has averaged 76.5 receptions a season. Also, UF’s Chad Jackson tied the school record 

with 88 receptions in 2005 and Utah’s Paris Warren had a school-record 80 receptions in 2004. 

OFFENSIVE LINE 

Florida opened the LSU game with the following lineup on the offensive line: Jason Watkins (LT), 

Jim Tartt (LG), Drew Miller (C), Maurkice Pouncey (RG), Carlton Medder (RT). Pouncey, who had 

missed starting the Ole Miss game, returned to the lineup against the Auburn. Pouncey has started 

five out of six games at the right guard position this season. 

The Florida offensive has allowed only four sacks this season and in four of the six games the 

Gators have not allowed any. The four total sacks the Gators have given up are tied with three other 

teams for the second-lowest total in the nation. 

In the LSU game, Drew Miller graded out at 88 percent. The grade was the highest Miller has 

received in his UF career. Carlton Medder graded out a career-high 94 percent against Troy, which 

is the best mark by any Gator this season. 

Drew Miller and Carlton Medder started every game in the 2006 season and Jim Tartt started all 

but one (Vanderbilt due to an ankle injury). The three have combined for 66 starts on the offensive 

line in their careers. Miller and Medder have started 20 consecutive games, which are the longest 

active streaks on the Florida squad. 

The offensive line has not allowed a sack in four out of six games this season (WKU, UT, Ole Miss 

and Auburn) and has allowed four all season. In 2006, the unit allowed only 23 sacks after giving up 

35 in 2005. Last year, UF gave up only one or less sacks seven times and in 2005 they did so on only 

three occasions. 

Against Western Kentucky, Drew Miller was the third different senior in three years at starting 

center under head coach Urban Meyer at Florida (2005, Mike Degory; 2006, Steve Rissler). 

Phil Trautwein, who started every game last season, suffered a stress fracture in his right foot 

during August practices and has not played this season. 

Michael and Maurkice Pouncey are the fifth and sixth freshmen offensive linemen in school history 

to enroll early and participate in spring drills. All six have done it under head coach Urban Meyer. 

THE DEFENSE 

Florida leads the SEC in red zone defense, allowing just 10 touchdowns in 23 trips. 

The Florida defense has forced a turnover in each of the last five games. 

UF opponents have gained 564 yards rushing for an average of 2.9 per carry (19th nationally). 

Against Auburn, UF had 12 tackles behind the line of scrimmage as a team, which is the highest 

team total since 13 against The Citadel in 1998. 

Dating back to last season, the Gator defense has held six of its last 10 opponents to under 60 yards 

rushing. In 15 of the last 20 games, the Gators have held their opponents to 100 yards rushing or less. 

In the last 56 games, the Gators have scored points off turnovers in 38 games. 216 of UF’s points 

under head coach Urban Meyer have come off turnovers. 

The Florida defensive staff finished the 2006 season with 115 years of combined collegiate coaching

The SEC is the only conference in the nation 

with four teams ranked inside the AP preseason 

top 15 (No. 2 LSU, No. 6 Florida, No. 13 Georgia, 

No. 15 Tennessee). The SEC is one of 

four conferences in the nation to have two teams 

ranked inside the AP preseason top 10 (Big 

East, Big 10, Big 12). 

In 11 of the past 12 seasons, the SEC has 

had five-or-more teams ranked in the AP preseason 

top 25. In 2003, the SEC had four and 

in 2001 and this season, the SEC had six (including 

preseason No. 1 Florida). Every other 

season, the year started off with five league 

teams ranked in the AP top 25 to begin with. 


experience: Chuck Heater (31), Doc Holliday (29), Greg Mattison (31), Charlie Strong (24). 

LINEBACKERS 

This season, Brandon Spikes and Dustin Doe rank as Florida’s leading tacklers with 57 and 41, 

respectively. 

Florida replaced all three of its 2006 starting linebackers with A.J. Jones, Brandon Spikes and LSU, 

while Jones was playing in his sixth career game. 

DEFENSIVE LINE 

Florida’s starting defensive line against LSU was the following: Derrick Harvey (DE), Javier Estopinan 

(NT), Clint McMillan (DT) and Jermaine Cunningham (DT). UF has opened with this lineup in five 

out of six games this season. 

Against LSU, Jermaine Cunningham had a career-high 17 tackles. The total was the second-best 

effort in the SEC this season and the most by a Florida player since Channing Crowder had 18 

against Miss. State on Oct. 23, 2004. 

Defensive end Derrick Harvey recorded a pair of sacks in Florida’s game against Auburn to bring 

his career total to 17. With the effort, Harvey is tied with Jeff Roth (1985-88) and Tony McCoy (1987- 

91) for 11th on UF’s all-time career sacks chart. 

Derrick Harvey’s 17 career sacks are tied for the 10th-highest nationally and are the secondhighest 

total in the SEC as terms of active leaders. 

Over the last seven games, Derrick Harvey has totaled eight sacks. Harvey did not get his first sack 

of the 2006 season until the fourth game. He ended last year with a team-leading 11. The sack 

output tied for the fifth-highest single-season total in school history, as well as the third-highest by a 

defensive lineman in the UF record books. 

Justin Trattou made the first interception of his college career against Troy. Trattou became the 

second UF defensive lineman to intercept a pass under Coach Meyer (Joe Cohen, 2005). 

SECONDARY 

Dorian Munroe made the second start of his career against LSU. Earlier this season, Munroe 

started in the game against Troy. 

Against LSU, Joe Haden made the first interception of his career. He became the fifth different 

Gator to have an interception this season. In 2006, the Gators had five players make interceptions. 

In the LSU game, the longest pass play by the Tigers was 18 yards and UF gave up just 5.1 yards 

per pass. 

Florida has had an interception in 30 of the past 44 games. In 2006, Florida led the SEC with 21 

interceptions. UF’s 16 in 2005 tied with Georgia for the highest amount by any team in the league. 

Florida’s defense has intercepted 78 passes since 2003, when Charlie Strong took over as defensive 

coordinator. The four-year total is tied for the fifth-highest in the nation over the time period and 

is the best among SEC teams: 

Total Interceptions from 2003-Present 

1. Boston College 86 

2. Boise State 84 

3. USC 82 

4. TCU 81 

5. Florida 79 

West Virgnia 79 

Since 2003, 34 of Florida’s 79 interceptions have come against teams ranked inside the top 25. 

The total is the highest among all teams nationally:

Until Florida’s season opener against Western Kentucky, no cornerback on the Gator roster had 

started a collegiate game. UF opened the game with Wondy Pierre-Louis and Joe Haden at corner, 

which marked the second-straight season and the third time in the last six years that UF had two new 

starters at corner.

SPECIAL TEAMS 

Florida is the only school in the nation not to allow a punt return in a game this season and has yet 

to allow a punt return yard. The UF school record for fewest punt return yards allowed in a season 

was 47 yards on 11 punt returns in 1990. 

Brandon James had his third return of 50-plus yards on the year with a 55-yard kick return at Ole 

Miss. He had a 59-yard kickoff return against Troy and 83-yard punt return for a touchdown in the 

Tennessee game. Last season, James had just one kick return over 50 yards (77-yard punt return for 

a touchdown against Western Carolina). 

Against Tennessee, Brandon James returned the first punt of the game for an 83-yard touchdown. 

It was the longest punt return of his career and tied for the fifth-longest in school history (George 

Gandy, vs. Tulane, 1966). James finished the day with three punt returns for 91 yards and four kickoff 

returns for 102 yards (193 total on the day). 

Brandon James’ 83-yard punt return for a touchdown against Tennessee was the second of his 

career. The Florida record punt returns for a touchdown in a career belongs to Jacquez Green (4, 

1995-97). 

Florida has a new punter (Chas Henry) and placekicker (Joey Ijjas) this season. Throughout the first 

six games, Henry has punted 19 times for an average of 41.6 yards. His long was 50 against Ole Miss 

and he has placed seven inside the 20 this year. Ijjas is 31-of-31 on extra points through the first six 

outings and is five-of-seven on field goals. 

Entering the Troy game, no player on the Florida roster had attempted a field goal in their collegiate 

career. Joey Ijjas connected on a 32-yard attempt with just over 10 minutes remaining in the final 

quarter. 

In the Troy game, UF blocked two punts for the first time since the 2006 Vanderbilt game. Carlos 

Dunlap and Roderick Blackett each blocked the first punt of their Florida careers. 

The chart below reflects how Urban Meyer-coached teams make a difference on special teams: 

Punt Returns for a TD Under Urban Meyer (5) Blocked Kicks Under Urban Meyer (35) 

2006 1 2007 2 (2 punts) 

2005 1 2006 8 (5 punts, 2 FG, 1XP) 

2004 1 2005 5 (2 punts, 2 FG, 1 XP) 

2003 1 2004 9 (7 punts, 2 FG) 

2002 0 2003 2 (2 FG) 

2001 1 2002 8 (7 punts, 1 FG) 

2001 1 (1 FG) 

Under head coach Urban Meyer, UF has been perfect on executing fake punts on fourth down: 

Date Opponent Converted 

10/1/05 at Alabama Everett, 32-yard reverse 

10/29/05 vs. Georgia Wilbur, 20-yard run 

1/2/06 vs. Iowa Latsko, five-yard run 

12/2/06 vs. Arkansas Cornelius, 17-yard run 

SEC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME HISTORY (All facts since 1992) 

No SEC Championship Game has ever been contested between two undefeated conference 

teams. Five of the past seven SEC Championship Games have included one team with at least one 

conference loss. 

10 teams have advanced to the SEC Championship Game with two-or-more conference losses, 

including Florida in 1992. 

In nine of the last 12 years and five of the last seven, a team with two-or-more losses has advanced 

to the SEC Championship Game.

ATTENDANCE NOTES 

In 2006, Florida ranked ninth nationally in 

average attendance with a total of 90,409. 

The attendance of 90,716 for the Tennessee 

game on Sept. 17, 2005 established a school 

record. The previous school record of 90,707 

was set against Wyoming in the 2005 season 

opener on Sept. 3. The school-record-setting 

crowd was the largest ever to watch a football 

game in the state of Florida. The state has 

hosted 13 Super Bowls, two BCS national title 

games and has featured a team that went on 

to win at least a share of the national title in a 

bowl game 18 times. 

The attendance for the ‘05 season opener 

(90,707) was the largest opening-day crowd 

in Florida history. The previous record was 

90,011 against San Jose State in the 2003 

opener. The Gators opened the 2004 season 

against Eastern Michigan in front of a crowd 

of 90,009. 

The attendance of Florida’s game at Tennessee 

(109,061) on Sept. 18, 2004, was the 

largest ever to see a Gator team play. 

The attendance for the 2004 Florida-Georgia 

game was an Alltel Stadium record (84,753). 

The previous record of 84,433 was set at the 

Florida-Georgia game in 2002. 

The Gators have ranked among the nation’s 

top-15 schools in average home attendance in 

each of the last 25 years (1982-2006) and have 

ranked among the nation’s top-nine schools in 

each of the last 16 years (1991-2006). 

UF’s average of 90,409 fans per home game 

in 2006 ranked as the best single-season mark 

in school history. The mark bettered that of the 

2005 season, in which the Gators averaged 

90,406. 

Florida maintains a current streak of 113-consecutive 

home sellouts dating back to the 1989 

season. Here is where UF ranks nationally for 

current consecutive sellouts:

1995, is active. 

- One of only four schools in the nation to have multiple recipients of the Draddy Trophy, which is 

presented by the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame to the nation’s top football 

scholar-athlete. 

- The only school in the nation that can boast of a Heisman Trophy recipient (Danny Wuerffel), who 

also received the Draddy Trophy, which is presented by the National Football Foundation and College 

Hall of Fame to the country’s top football scholar-athlete. 

THE ONLY SCHOOL IN THE SEC TO: 

- The only school in SEC history, and one of only three in major college history, to win at least 10 

games for a period of six-straight years (1993-98).

- The only school in SEC history, and one of only four schools in major college history, to rank in the 

top 15 of the fi nal polls in 12-consecutive seasons (1990-2001). 

- Its 87-13 SEC record from 1990 to the seventh conference game of 2001 is the best league record 

over a 100 SEC game-time period in conference history. 

- It holds the SEC record for most consecutive seasons (12) with at least six league wins, a streak 

that doubled the previous record of six set by Alabama from 1961-66. 

- One of only two schools in SEC history to win four-consecutive league championships (1993-96). 

- Including 2006, Florida has played in eight of the 15 SEC Championship Games and has won seven 

SEC titles over the last 15 years.

FLORIDA & THE NFL... 

- The 2007 National Football League season 

began on Thursday, Sept. 6. All notes below 

refl ect 2007 opening-day totals and the 2007 

NFL Draft. 

GATORS AND THE NFL DRAFT 

- With Jarvis Moss (Denver) and Reggie Nelson 

(Jacksonville) selected in the fi rst round, Florida 

had two fi rst-round draft picks for the ninth time 

in school history. UF had two defensive players 

taken in the fi rst round for the fourth time in 

school history. 

- Florida led the nation in 2007 with nine former 

players selected in the NFL Draft and there were 

18 members of last year’s team either drafted or 

signed as a free agent. The Gators have led the 

SEC in total draft selections twice in the last fi ve 

years. In 2003, eight UF players were chosen. 

- Since the inaugural NFL Draft in 1936, a Florida 

player has been selected in the fi rst-round 37 

times, covering 27 separate seasons. It marks 

the seventh-most number of years for a top pick 

by any school in the nation. 

- One of only two schools to have had at least 

one fi rst-round draft selection in 18 of the last 

25 drafts. 

- UF had at least 40 players chosen in the NFL 

Draft for the decades of 1950, 1960, 1970, 1980 

and 1990. UF already has 44 selections from the 

years 2000-07. The total is one shy of the school 

record for choices in a decade (45, 1990s). 

- The Gators had at least one NFL fi rst-round 

draft choice for nine-straight seasons (1983-91). 

This marked the second-longest streak by any 

college in the history of the draft. 

FLORIDA NFL NOTES 

- Florida had 31 players on 2007 NFL opening- 

day rosters, which was the ninth-highest total in 

the nation. In 2005, UF’s 37 players were tied 

for the second-highest total of any school in the 

country. Overall, the Gators had 44 players on 

NFL rosters during the 2006 regular season. 

- The Gators had at least one player (including 

practice squads) on 17 of the 32 NFL teams. Here 

is the breakdown of former Gators on active NFL 

rosters: 7 DE, 7 WR, 5 DT, 4 LB, 3 CB, 3 RB, 3 

S, 2 TE, 1 FB, 1 G, 1 QB, 1 T . 

- Florida’s three quarterbacks on 2006 NFL rosters 

ranked as the second-highest total from any 

college in the country behind Michigan’s four. 

- Florida’s six wide receivers on 2006 NFL rosters 

were the second-highest total from any school in 

the nation. UF’s six wide receivers on 2005 NFL 

rosters tied for the highest total nationally and 

in 2004 Florida’s seven wide receivers on NFL 

rosters were the most in the country. 

Former 

Gator Emmitt 

Smith 

became the 

NFL’s alltime 

leading 

rusher on 

Sunday, Oct. 

27, 2002, with 

an 11-yard 

run against 

the Seattle 

Seahawks in 

Dallas. Smith 

surpassed 

the long-time 

record held 

by Walter 

Payton, who 

rushed for 16,726 

yards. 

On April 12, 2003, Florida fans got the opportunity to recognize 

one of their own as Emmitt Smith was honored at halftime of the 

2003 Orange and Blue Spring game. 

Smith was a three-time All-American at the University of Florida from 1987-89. He established 

58 school records in three seasons, including a career rushing mark of 3,928 yards. Following his 

junior season with the Gators, Smith was a fi rst-round selection in the 1990 NFL Draft by the Dallas 

Cowboys. On Friday, Feb. 4, 2005, Smith retired from the NFL. Smith starred for 13 seasons 

with the Dallas Cowboys and spent his fi nal two seasons with the Arizona Cardinals. He fi nished 

his career with 18,355 rushing yards and 164 rushing touchdowns, both of which are the highest 

totals ever posted in NFL history.
