--WR Percy Harvin was named SEC Special Teams Player of the Week following a career-high 167 yards rushing and two rushing TDs.

--DE Jermaine Cunningham was named SEC Defensive Lineman of the Week after getting eight tackles, a half-sack, two tackles for a loss and one forced fumble.

SCOUTING THE OFFENSE: Florida is averaging 49.8 points per game during its current six-game winning streak. The Gators have excelled in the red zone, scoring 93 percent of the time (40-of-43 trips) inside the 20-yard line. How balanced have the Gators been this season? Florida's rushing yardage (2,134) and passing yardage (2,052) are nearly identical.

SCOUTING THE DEFENSE: Florida's defense is coming off what Meyer called "arguably one of the best performances since I've been here" last Saturday against South Carolina. The Gators have held opponents to 30 percent (40-for-134) on third-down conversions. UF's run defense has held opponents to just 3.3 yards per carry.

QUOTE TO NOTE: "I have a lot of trust in the maturity of our team." -- Florida coach Urban Meyer, on whether his team is distracted by potential BCS title-game talk.
