Game Notes

Mud and defense dominate as the Florida All-Stars beat California 20-0.

On a field transformed from wet to muck to mud, Florida squeezes out points in a defensive battle. California turns it over 7 times, while Florida turns it over 4 times.

Billy Lowe (Northern Illinois) hits Tony Wilson (Georgia) for a 16-yard TD w/ 8:22 left in the 2nd quarter for a 6-0 lead. Then defensive back Dustin Doe (Florida) picks up a fumble and returns it 64 yards for a score. Tim Tebow (Florida) scores on a 2-point conversion giving Florida a 14-0 lead late in the 2nd quarter. Tebow later scores on a 1-yard sneak in the 4th quarter.

Tebow struggles throwing in the conditions, going 0-for-7 with 1 INT. California's quarterbacks are a combined 4-of-13 for 20 yards and 2 INTs. California RB Kenny Ashley (Mississippi State) proves to be the only effective offensive player, running for 41 yards on 9 carries.

Florida's defense holds California to 96 total yards in the game. Doe, defensive back Ryan Hill (Miami) and DT Doug Thacker (Virginia Tech) standout for Florida's defense. California's defense gets big efforts from DT Alex Parsons (USC) and DE Derek Simmons (USC).
