Last year, it was "The Celebration'' that served as a motivational tactic for the Gators heading into the annual Florida-Georgia rivalry.

Apparently this year, it's "The Timeouts.''

Florida was angry last season about the Georgia end zone celebration on the first touchdown of the year's previous game. Now it seems Georgia players are still mad about the two timeouts UF coach Urban Meyer called with 44 and 30 seconds remaining in last year's game, which the Gators won 49-10.

"It definitely motivates you,'' Georgia quarterback Joe Cox told the AP. "No one likes to be embarrassed like that.''

Following the game, Meyer said he was trying to get some little-used players, particularly RB Emmanuel Moody, some game-time experience. This week, several Florida players backed Meyer's decision.

"I think everybody needs a little work,'' UF quarterback Tim Tebow said. "I know he wanted to get him (Moody) some experience in the Florida-Georgia rivalry, so I concur with his decision. I thought it was a good one.''

The Georgia players see it differently.
