2012 #4 Florida Gators vs. #10 Florida State Seminoles

Florida beats FSU and claims the 2012 Sunshine State Championship. I own nothing in this video and claim fair use.

[@heatman678]

Mike Gillislee does not get enough credit for how great he was.

[@matthewspallina226]

Sucks that he didn’t do anything in the NFL. His only good game was his first one against the Chiefs in 2017.

[@NotWithinNormalLimits]

My sophomore year of high school I played against gillislee. He juked me out of my shoes and ran for a 60 yard touchdown.

This Florida Gator team is one of the most underrated and not talked about Florida teams of all time. In my honest opinion.

[@DavidPena-hq3fh]

My first season that I followed the Gators. I was 11 and it was an amazing year, and set the standard for what I expect out of Florida football 🐊

[@matc2382]

The Louisville game kinda took this team out of people's memory

[@squarecracker]

They were great but the offense underperformed. Also losing to louisville badly in the bowl game took some of the shine off

[@ChrisHobbgoblin]

Great work I love it Keep them coming

[@ryan979_]

Would have been in the playoff this year. Same with 2009

[@ikeikeforty]

Driskel could have be really good with a good coach...

[@bobyrd4386]

He would have flourished in a spread type offense. Under Urban Meyer or under our current head coach Dan Mullen.

[@danielmcclellan911]

I mean hes been in the nfl longer than Tebow

[@cwhalesss1071]

This game was a precursor for FSU winning the national championship the following season and dominating the SEC along the way and going on a 29 game unbeaten streak.

[@TheBeautifulDestiny6]

Hey TheGiantGator, you missed the Karlos Williams hit on Purifoy :p hehe. But great vid. Like how you show both team highlights. I'm a Nole and a Clemson Tiger (a little) but FSU comes first. Great vid again!

[@prestongators]

Giant would love to see that 06 S. Car. game! Great videos

[@johnsonr6788]

here's a little fun fact FSU is 48-65-6 against the SEC and they have even lost 4 times to Kentucky

[@nolessss10]

Why don't you give the stats for the time period 1976-present. The bowden fisher years. I think you'll find them to be shall we say dominant

[@johnsonr6788]

The facts are they are 48-65-6 against the sec all time

[@nolessss10]

Lol ignorance is bliss. Easier to live in a dream world than reality. Bottom line is fsu has a higher winning percentage against the sec than most of the sec contenders who pad their stats by plowing vandy and Kentucky every year

[@nolessss10]

Since we built our program in 76

[@johnsonr6788]

+nolessss10 no see the bad part is you only want to pick part of the truth that makes you look big well the whole truth is fsu sucks and is where only rejects who can't get into to Florida ,Miami or central Florida go. yes the sec has Kentucky and vandy but at least those are our only weak teams acc has north Carolina, duke, wake forest and Maryland. so please tell me how that makes fsu so great yes they had a good coach but even he said if they played the sec on a weekly basis they would get their ass kick and that's why they never left the acc which they had a chance to do but wouldn't because they have but one or two games they know they have two maybe three hard games a year they may lose

[@DaVoid]

What a great game played by both teams

[@AcceptanceCriteria]

Why is the quality so low? I remember watching this in at least 720p back in 2012. Everything was broadcast at 1080p by 2012

We have 3 perfect seasons. How many does UF have?

[@InAllKindsOfWeather]

encycl07pedia One. But, you know, 34-22.

[@encycl07pedia]

In All Kinds Of Weather The correct answer is 0. UF has never finished a season undefeated and untied. But as a Gator, you obviously are pretty fucking stupid.

[@InAllKindsOfWeather]

We did go undefeated in 1911, though we did tie. Granted. But 52-20, 34-22, go back to playing with Barbie, little sis

I dunno. I kinda forgot what it was like to lose to them.

Doctor O'Noodle how bout now sweet heart ❤️

[@Jagnole101]

Spankenstein99 Florida got to play at home the first 15 years of the rivalry, and had a 47-year head start in football. FSU leads the series when both teams are top 10, and counting your 1996 mulligan title, both teams have 3 titles.

[@TheBeautifulDestiny6]

This was an awesome game. Hate that my Noles lost. :/ But that 3rd quarter was just amazing. If EJ would have got it together we could have won this. I swear that quarter was the best I seen us play all year.. But nevertheless congrats on the Gators for winning. I think this rivalry is going to be back to what it use to be when I was growing up. ^_^

[@bdonell38]

mann if USC could have took care of business later on that night 😪

[@michaelcarpenter9004]

Todd Grantham’s defense would’ve allowed FSU to convert that 4th and 26. Worst defensive coordinator in football.

[@Fitzy94]

As an FSU fan I feel like this was the turning point that set up that 2013 national championship team. Hats off to UF, FSU had way too many turnovers

[@fsupark]

Are you guys going to be watching these old youtube videos instead during next week's game?

[@sebsead001]

FSU did beat USF this year, and we beat UF and UM the last two years. I'm not gonna argue about anything else tho, UF did beat FSU at home, congrats you get bragging rights after 2 years in a row that we had them. See you in g-ville next year, always a great game to watch!

[@mikeschmidt4800]

This is the game in which Driskel lacked "ankle speed."

[@jerrysullivan7223]

If Jeff driskell would have had a different coach he would have been a star at Florida if he would have had Steve spurrier or meyer with this team better coaching could have won another Natty the whole team was very good on defense and offense loaded but driskel needed a better quarterback coah he was a hell of a runner and thrower by it missed to many wide open receivers and never grasped the offensive pass plays he threw into coverage to often

[@matthewspallina226]

Yeah I agree although some of his interceptions were just total bonehead decisions, including the one at the end of the 1st half against Georgia in 2012. Muschamp was just flat out horrible and I knew the guy should’ve been fired when he chose to go for 2 instead of tying it with the extra point against Miami the following year after Driskel ran in a TD.

[@moowno]

i remember aft fsu first 3 games people were talking saying oh man this team is unstopable its going to be them vs oklahoma in the title game. lol

Yes, because having a channel picture on youtube is the main key to life. Everything revolves around how many "likes" your youtube channel gets because of your profile picture.
