Florida @ Auburn Live Blog

Super Bowl weekend kicks off with another Florida match up, this time with Auburn.

Since this is the SEC, we can expect nothing less than crack scoring, Carol or no Carol. Florida hit that 198 mark last week and notched a couple of tens from Alex McMurtry on vault and beam.

Auburn is sitting at # 17 in the rankings and since I haven't seen them compete yet, I have no opinion as to what to expect.  Abby Millet is back this year, having been sidelined with an injury last year, so that's something.
