Percy Harvin and the Florida Gators are heading into enemy territory this Saturday when they play the Arkansas Razorbacks. Arkansas isn’t half the team it was the last two years. They’ve lost a ton of players to the NFL, and some experts think they’re the worst team in the SEC.Percy is definitely pissed about the fumbles he had last week against Ole Miss. He knows that they may have cost them some scores, but he also knows that the Gators aren’t out of it. “There’s no margin,” Harvin said. “We’re going to play a little harder. We know we lost, but we know we’re right where we need to be.”
I’ve been preaching for Percy to get more carries. Urban Meyer listened last week when Percy had 20+ touches. This morning though I read something interesting: UF is 2-3 all-time when Harvin accumulates more than 200 yards of offense. That’s an awful stat. When you’re best player is putting up 200+ yards of offense, the team needs to win! Might have to blame those on the defense.
I think Percy will be playing with fierce determination and heart this week. He’ll be involved in all aspects of the offense and given every opportunity to succeed. If Arkansas plays like the Arkansas we’ve seen in 2008, then Percy is capable of putting up another 200+ yards game.
If you’re missing the Gator game in person or can’t see it on TV, head over to Gator Envy and enjoy it with the fans.
