    Skip Bayless of ESPN just said' "Glenn Dorsey was dominated by Florida on Sat night".

    I dont have the tape of the game, but for those of you do and have zeroed in on Dorsey, was he 'dominated' or was he just tripled teamed most of the night?

    I think Bayless is kind of a moron, btw, but that doesnt mean he is always wrong.

    Their offensive line did a good job of keeping him out of the game UNTIL IT WAS TIME TO WIN. Then Dorsey made big plays. He was neutralized by the quick passes- he hasn't learned how to transcend the barrier of matter- yet- and had those multiple blockers and well-designed schemes.

    Bayless is a loudmouth. A smart one, but nothing more than an instigator when it comes down to it.

    Dorsey was handled pretty good Saturday by a FRESHMAN!!! The times I focused on him, he was one-on-one with Tarrt.

    Skip Bayless is an idiot! He says things just for shock value according the the ESPN agenda. Glenn wasn't dominated, all game long they ran away from him and when they did Tebow had his hands in the RBs gut all the way up to the line of scrimage, hence Glenn had to play as if they both had the ball. Look at the last minute when Florida was forced to play from behind and Tebow was forced to throw the ball. Glenn owned the line of scrimage.

    oh yeah bayless is an idiot he proves it every time he opens his mouth...dorsey played within the scheme that pelini set..florida runs a quick hit offense that kinda neutralizes the tackle there are no 5 step drops, no im gonna run the ball on you so stop me type plays floridas offense is kinda smoke an mirrors...a more traditional offense cant handle dorsey of course he is going to have a bad game here an there who doesnt but he did what he was asked to do stand that tackle up quickly get those hands up may bat a ball down now u see what happened at the end when tebow had to wait for things to develope down field dorsey opened up sometimes guys you gotta watch the player an see what he is doing dont listen to the commentators.....as we start to play the more pro style offenses you will see what the big fellow does once again

    Here's my take. Just like fried said, his position is hard to quantify. But, if I'm not mistaken, he did have 2 sacks, right? UF did have a couple of big gains right up the middle, but I noticed #72 slanted to the hole opposite of the one the running back ran through. Not really his fault. Given the fact that they ran away from him most of the night and his was HELD on at least 2 occasions that I recall, that hardly qualifies as 'dominated'.

    Nothing anyone says about this game from here on out will bother me. We won 28-24. SCOREBOARD baby!

    You're not supposed to take Bayless seriously. He's like a child. You just kind of go 'uh-huh, that's nice' and then move on.

    And No.1 in the nation in AP, coaches, and most importantly the BCS polls at this point.
