We finally saw some explosion from Percy Harvin in Saturday’s Gator 56-6 victory over the Gamecocks. It wasn’t on the receiving side of the ball, but rushing yards count just as much!
Percy ended the game with 8 carries for 167 yards and 2 touchdowns, plus 1 reception for 6 yards. One of the Percy Harvinrushing touchdowns came on an 80 yard rush. He hit the hole, bounce of a defender then squeezed his way through a few more and it was off to the races. No one on the South Carolina defense could catch him.
Even the Old Ball Coach had good things to say about Percy in the post game interview. “If he was a tailback on somebody else’s team, he’d be a 200-yards-a-game guy,” Spurrier said. You know, he’s probably right!
Percy’s receiving stats were pretty much non existent because the Gators didn’t need to throw the ball. The got up to a big 21-0 lead in the 1st quarter and just set everything on cruise control. The Gator offense is clicking like I’ve never seen before. I’m not sure anyone can stop them.
I’ll be sure to post the highlights from the game later this week.
harvin really shined once again for florida. his speed is a huge factor and a big part on how we plays. and another game he added a touchdown.. he is doing outstanding.
