QUARTERBACK
FSU senior Chris Weinke leads the nation in passing yardage (3,814) and passing efficiency (166.5 rating) and is tied for the lead in touchdowns (30). Aside from raw numbers, the 28-year-old is uncommonly unflappable as he's shown in directing numerous come-from-behind wins, including in last year's game against the Gators. UF redshirt freshman Rex Grossman (1,530 yards, 17 touchdowns) is third in passing efficiency (163.9) but struggled last week and was replaced by senior Jesse Palmer (1,473 yards, 10 touchdowns). Like last year, two may not be better than one.
