Two years ago, Florida became a national punch line because two teammates were captured blocking each other.

On Saturday night, we saw a Gator tackling another Gator.

In this case, it was a pretty smart move on a night when a lot of dumb things were happening on the football field.

Jarrad Davis tackled Alex McCalister, who had visions of a touchdown dancing in his bouncing eyeballs. Davis knew the game was over if McCalister went to the ground with a Blake Kemp fumble, that the only way it wouldn’t be was if McCalister was stripped from behind.
