Urban Meyer welcomes himself to the Sunshine Showdown rivalry by putting a beatdown on FSU. I own none of the footage in this video and claim fair use. Credit to CBS.
Neil, you do a great job with these vids and they're very appreciated. The only thing that could make it cooler would be to have Mick Hubert calls for the big plays. Idk if that would be a major pain in the ass or not, but, would be cool.
9:28 RIP Avery Atkins. This was his best game as a Gator. Suffered a drug overdose about two years after this. He was Urban Meyers highest rated recruit his first year in Gainesville. So much potential but struggled with drugs and unintended fatherhood as a 20 year old. He left UF, played a few games at Bethune-Cookman and re-enrolled at Florida then quit again. His death was an unimaginable tragedy for his family. I guess his son is probably in high school now. Pray for Avery’s family.
Jeremy Fennell thank you! That’s the plan 😁 check my twitter and Facebook pages in the coming days, I’ve got a March Madness style tournament that fans will vote on to decide the greatest Gator team ever!
I refused to work late for my gf during this game(I worked at the restaurant she managed 1 day a week). She was so mad I wouldn't work late, sorry babe, this is the FSU game. I then went and watched it on her big TV in her apartment until she got home. She was all, I hope your team loses. They didn't, lol. Somehow we are still married all these years later.
I never got to see this one. We were driving back from North Carolina and sitting on I-95 north of Jax, in a traffic jam. My friend texts and says, "I bet you're loving this." With him you never knew if he was serious or being a dick. I tried to get the game on in the radio but couldn't. Got home and learned how badly we kicked fsu's ass. 2005: no smart phones at that point. Two takeaways from this game. 1. The story of Avery Atkins is so damn sad. 2. I had forgotten all about Markus Manson.
Rob, too funny, you have no idea as to how many of my friends can be classified as " Serious or being a Dick". When I worked for the DOJ in the 80's I walked into the staff lounge and my buddy (Bama Freak) asked me how much money we had on the game? I told him "nothing" and he said nothing and the score came up like we beat them by 35. For the next four years, we paid each other back that would be considered historical.
watching this game thinking wow first shut out since 1973 but then Dammit fsu scored at least I can say the Gators have shut out fsu 3 times , 1960 3-0 1963 7-0 & the best one 1973 49-0 year before I was born Can FSU say the same HELL NO
Leak was good in this game, but he improved so much the season after. Hopefully Mullen can do the same with Trask.
I would say Dan Mullen well exceeded expectations with Kyle Trask.
@@PENS68 agreed! This aged well!
I was at a bar covered in orange and blue in downtown Tallahassee watching this game. I was politely asked to leave when it was 20-0
Thanks so much for this vid
omg thanks Neil i have been waiting for this one Urban Meyer wanted the world to know that the state of Florida was his
you better believe it 2 national championships & 5-0 vs Bobby Bowden

One of my favorite Florida v FSU gamea of all time. Thanks for putting it up. Any chance we could get Florida vs LSU from 2001?

That was the introduction to Bowden's retirement party of the 00's
Man, keep posting stuff! We are all home bored and some good Gator content would be great!!! #inallkindsofweather

Great team. Great game. Offense looks fun. Who was the Offensive Coordinator back then? Any team would be lucky have him as a head coach one day.
Can you do Florida vs SC 2008? Can’t find it anywhere
The closest you have to it is on the National Championship DVD
10:19 did that ref just try to tackle Leak!?
Nah Leak just dove a lot.
It will always be GO GATORS 🐊!!!!!!!!
I gotta tip my hat to Weatherford, dude took a beating this game
Florida state seminoles & miami hurricanes are the two florida team’s that i feel what make’s florida not so great # go gators nation baby
Ricky Baker I’m am a florida fan and yes they are trash right now but tbh they had Good years in the past...
The General What good years not taking anything away from the seminoles but what good years they had so far
I mean FSU does have as much chips as us and Miami has more
Not football, but can you find the 2005 Syracuse vs florida b-ball game? Noahs coming out party

Do the 2005 Tennessee game!! Go Gators
Im fairly certain he has already done that game.
Here you go buddy ruclips.net/video/jtZoP_LcUEs/видео.html
What ever happened to Marcus Manson?
Went up the road to Valdosta State. I just looked it up today after watching this. I had forgotten all about him.
Haha. FSU forgot rule #1 of receiving. Don’t run before you catch.
Which is actually a silly rule, it should all be one simultaneous action, but nevertheless it was all my flag football coaches ever told me.
