Mid November is here, and for Gator and Gamecock fans alike it means only one thingits time for Floridas Urban Meyer and South Carolinas Ol Ball Coach to square off, and take part in an end of season battle once again. Gamecock head coach Steve Spurrier may be playing the role of spoiler this year, but Meyer is out to build momentum leading up to Atlanta and prove, once again, that his Gators deserve top honors. And what better way is there to shore up the confidence of his Gator squad, and impress voters, than to crack these seven eggs and scramble up a huge Gamecock omelet. Zero The number of college football defenses that have allowed fewer touchdowns than Florida this season. In nine games this season, Florida coordinator Charlie Strongs second ranked Gator defense has only allowed opponents to score six touchdowns. Thats considerably less than one per game. South Carolina has struggled against strong defenses this year, and Saturday the Gamecocks will face their toughest test yet. 53 Percent Percentage of total Gator receiving yards gained last week against Vanderbilt attributable to Gator tight end Arron Hernandez. Hernandez was Tebows most frequent and productive target last week when the tight end hauled in seven tosses for 120 yardshalf of which was earned on one outstanding 64 yard catch and run play. If the success Floridas passing attack had against Georgia is fleeting the Gators can take comfort in knowing that offensive coordinator Steve Addazio has the good sense to make sure Tebow is seeing more of his tight end. This spells double trouble for South Carolina since Hernandez can block as good as he can catch! 45 The total number of points South Carolina has scored in their last four games. That averages out to 11.25 points per contest. This figure is not surprising since the Gamecocks rushed for fewer than 66 yards in each of their losses to Alabama, Tennessee, and Arkansas. Defense has been the headline grabber for Spurriers Gamecocks this season, but even an NFL squad would find it hard to complement an offense producing fewer than 12 points a game. Two Inches The height advantage Gator wideouts Riley Cooper and Deonte Thompson should have if covered by Gamecock corners C.C. Whitlock and Stephon Gilmore. Florida quarterback, and Heisman hopeful, Tim Tebow has had some difficulty this season throwing, or not throwing, to his wideouts when in tight coverage. Against South Carolina though, Cooper and Thompson should be able use their height to an advantage to neutralize any smothering coverage coming off the line. This advantage should make each an easier target for Tebow when running post, stutter, or crossing routes. Should Spurrier attempt to counter this advantage by pulling the corners off the line a few yards then the Gator running game benefits from the resulting soft flanks. 123:51 Minutes of play since the Florida Gators last committed a turnover. Poised to score and with only 3:51 left on the clock, Tim Tebow threw an interception that Mississippi States Johnathan Banks ran back the length of the field for a touchdown. Since that moment, Meyers Gators have not fumbled the ball away, or thrown another pick. Its bad luck to talk about trend reversals, but it does look like Meyers boys have finally learned to hang onto the ball this season. Thats bad news for Spurrier since his Gamecocks would gladly accept any handouts this Saturday! 11 Number of tackles (both solo and assisted) Gator reserve linebacker Dustin Doe was involved in against Vanderbilt last week. To fill the gap created by a missing Brandon Spikes, who was serving his one game suspension against Vandy, Strong shuffled his linebacker corps a bit. Strong moved WLB Ryan Stamper to MLB and filled the WLB slot with reserve senior letter winner Doe. Vandy attempted to exploit this lineup change, but Doe stepped up and reminded everyone that Gator defensive reserves could be starting for most any team in the nation. South Carolina will be the next target on Strongs listand Charlie is still is looking for that elusive shutout. One Lucky breaks for Urban Meyer in the SEC recruiting war. Early in the morning of Nov. 12th Pahokee, Florida native NuKeese Richardson and two others were arrested in suspicion of armed robbery outside a convenience store in Tennessee. Richardson was the star south Florida recruit Volunteer head coach Lane Kiffin bragged about stealing out from under Meyers nose earlier this year. The Gator Nation owes Kiffin a debt of thanks for keeping this alleged troublemaker and the ensuing stories/distractions away from Gainesville this week. . DETROIT (Reuters) - LG Chem Ltd, chosen to supply batteries for General Motors Corp's Chevrolet Volt, could manufacture battery cells for the plug-in hybrid in the United States should volumes rise sufficiently, LG's chief executive Bahn-suk Kim said on Monday.Kim also told Reuters at the Detroit Auto Show that the South Korean company is in talks with other automakers about supplying next-generation batteries for electric vehicles, including plug-in hybrids.LG Chem, which beat a tie-up between Germany's Continental AG and A123 Systems in the race to provide lithium-ion batteries for GM's heavily touted Volt car, plans to invest $1 billion on lithium-ion battery technology by 2013, Kim added.Under the contract with GM, LG Chem will manufacture the battery cells at its plant in Ochang, south of Seoul, Korea.

The cells will then be shipped directly to a GM battery assembly facility to be built in Michigan."We're very flexible," Kim said when asked if LG Chem would eventually build battery cells in the United States. For now, Kim said LG Chem has enough manufacturing capacity in South Korea to meet GM's production target."We'll invest $1 billion in the next five years to grow this battery business as a new growth engine," Kim said, adding that the investment will be mostly made in the United States.Prabhakar Patil, chief executive of Compact Power Inc, a Michigan-based unit of LG Chem, told Reuters: "You don't want to build capacity and have it underutilized. But as soon as the conditions are right...we'll establish the facility."GM, which plans to launch the Volt in late 2010, has said it expects to manufacture 10,000 Volt cars in the first 12 months of production, increasing that to 60,000 a year.The Volt, which is being designed to run 40 miles on a single battery charge, has become the centerpiece of GM's attempt to reinvent itself as a producer of "green" vehicles.The Volt battery contract has been closely watched as the first test for an emerging technology expected to generate billions of dollars in sales in the coming decade.GM will give a 10-year, 150,000 mile warranty on the Volt. Patil said LG Chem will match for the battery whatever warranty GM provides for the car."One of the things we try to ensure through that is we build confidence in customers' minds about the reliability," he said "That's been the big issue and it's in everybody's minds. But our data say hybrid systems and the batteries can actually exceed reliability standards of conventional powertrains."Several automakers, including Honda Motor Co, have questioned whether the lithium-ion battery for the Volt can be made road-ready by the November 2010 deadline GM has set.But Patil said there are no technology glitches he knows of and remains confident the Volt could be launched as scheduled.(Reporting by Soyoung Kim, Editing by Peter Bohan and Carol Bishopric).
