I'll keep this brief.
1) Our offense. They showed up, finally, thus confirming my belief that the offense until now seemed to be running a limited form of the offense.
2) Our defense. They stepped up, proving they're legit.
Also... man, how many recieving threats can one team HAVE? I mean: Jeff Demps, Chris Rainey, Carl Moore, Deonte Thompson, Louis Murphy, Aaron Hernandez, Riley Cooper? Oh, or that Percy Harvin guy you may have heard about...
And you thought last year's Tebow-Harvin show wasn't fair...
The big question after games like this:
Is UF really the nigh-unstoppable beast they appeared (Thus making Ole Miss even MORE bizzare), or is LSU overrated from not having played anybody? My instinct says the former, but with LSU's marquee victory being against Auburn, and looking less and less impressive as the weeks go by, perhaps the latter.

CATCHUP!
Sorry for the lack of updates, to the one person who actually reads this! Job hunting has left me with no money, little free time, and a boat load of stress...
So! Thoughts!
Ole Miss game: Our offense actually looked good, for the most part. It still lacked explosiveness, but it showed that Chris Rainey and Jeff Demps have serious futures, just lacking rhythm it seemed. The defense at times, however, looked like it regressed to where it was last year, which is to say: horrid. It practically handed those big plays thanks to blown coverages. Major Wright is a serious hitter, and is shaping up to be a major NFL draftee, but he's not there yet.
Arkansas: Towards the end, it looked like the offense found a rythm, even if it was against Arkansas. I still think there are a good number of packages that Meyer hasn't rolled out, waiting for a big game, but we'll see this week. The defense looked solid again, but with Ole Miss blasting it apart, is that illusion, or was last week the anomaly?
Upcoming:
LSU: A mystery. They've played just as many people as we have. Is their defense really that good? Can our defense stand up to a real rushing game?
I think the answer is yes to both, predict a narrow win for the Gators.
