GROUP D - Day Four

Florida - 45 vs. Boise State - 14
Memorial Stadium - Clemson, SC

Clemson, SC - Going into Florida's (1-0-0/3PTs) game against Boise State (0-1-0/0PTs), Loucheiz Purifoy had a career total of 0 interceptions. After watching the junior defensive back on Monday Night, you would never even know it.

Purifoy had 4 of Florida's 6 interceptions of Boise State's Joe Southwick as the Gators whipped up on the Broncos 45-14. The contest at Memorial Stadium in Clemson, South Carolina was never really close as Florida now joins Michigan atop the standings as Group D is shaping up to be rather lopsided.

While Purifoy stole the show on defense, it was Florida running back Matt Jones that did the same on the offensive side of the ball. Jones landed haymaker after haymaker, as he racked up 5 touchdowns on 239 yard rushing. He capped out the end of the first and second halves with 77-yard and 76-yard touchdowns, respectively. The race for the National Cup rushing title is shaping up to be the most compelling storyline so far.

"I know Danny [Sams], [Bishop] Sankey and Ameer [Abdullah] all went off in their games," said Jones. "I mean, I am more concerned about winning, but is nice to have a little friendly competition with those guys. You always want to be the best at your position, so if that's where I end up then I will be rather pleased.:

The Boise State defense had no chance at stopping Matt Jones from the get-go, but their offense has an equal amount of trouble even managing to gain any yards. In-fact, they lost yards on the official stat sheet, as they became the first team in the tournament to rush for negative yards with -9.

You would never know it by looking at the score, but Boise State managed to throw more passing yards than Florida, as they finished the game with 270. While 270 yards and 1 touchdown is not bad, it was Joe Southwick's 6 interceptions that knocked Florida back early and out of the game by the middle of the 3rd quarter.

"Just terrible. I can't even really fathom how I did that," said Southwick. "I never threw more than 1 interception in a game last season and I only threw 7 all year. To do what I did today is embarrassing and pathetic. I have a lot to do to make up for this. Plain and simple."

Out of the 6 interceptions, 4 of them came as drive killers inside of Florida territory. Boise State limped off the field at the end of almost every drive and the relentless Gators would not stop beating the Broncos into the ground. Even with the lead in hand, Florida did not let up, but Boise State head coach Chris Peterson sees no problem with running it up.

"Do you guys know what is on the standings with wins, losses and ties?" said Peterson. "Point differential. You think Will [Muschamp] wants to, if it gets to it, see his team eliminated because he feels bad for a team and lets up, and then loses out because of point differential? I don't blame him for running it up at all."

Florida may be in good position with a plus-31 point differential, but the story is much different for Boise State. The Broncos will now look to make up serious ground in that department, as they stay in Clemson to take on Illinois. The Fighting Illini (0-0-1/0PTs) have issues of their own, as they sport a minus-28 point differential. Florida will now match-up with Michigan (1-0-0/3PTs) in Iowa City for one of the premiere match-ups of the group stage. The winner will guarantee themselves a spot in the knockout stage.
