Albert and Alberta Gator Albert E . Gator and Alberta Gator are the official mascots of the University of Florida in Gainesville , Florida . Costumed in plush , Albert and Alberta are anthropomorphic representations of American alligator s . History . The University of Florida fielded its first official intercollegiate sports team ( football ) in the fall of 1906 . It adopted orange and blue as its official colors , combining the orange and black of the former Florida Agricultural College in Lake City with the blue and white of the former East Florida Seminary in Gainesville , the university ' s two oldest predecessors . The football team did not initially have an official nickname or mascot , and was often referred to as the " Orange and Blue " or " Pee Wee ' s Boys , " after the team ' s first head coach , Jack " Pee Wee " Forsythe . In 1908 , local merchant Phillip Miller and his son Austin Miller , with no official sanction from the university or athletic association , selected the alligator as an emblem to represent the university on pennants offered for sale in Miller ' s Gainesville store . With the state of Florida being home to millions of alligators , the gator proved a popular choice among members of the student body , and the Florida football team began to refer to itself as the " Gators " during the 1911 fall season . A live alligator named Albert first appeared at football games during the 1957 season , and served as the mascot of the football team on the field before the costumed version of Albert became the mascot in 1970 . He was joined by a female version , Alberta , in 1984 . They often appear as a couple , but also appear alone . They both cheer on the football team , but Albert appears solo at Gators baseball and men ' s basketball games , while Alberta cheers on the women ' s basketball and gymnastics teams , among others . In popular culture . Like many college mascots , Albert and Alberta have made appearances in the highlights of national sports and highlight shows . The most notable appearance of either was in early 2006 , when Albert was featured in a This is SportsCenter commercial . He walked out of an elevator and became the object of Steve Irwin ' s alligator wrangling tendencies . In June 2007 , Sports Illustrated On Campus ranked Albert as the # 1 mascot in their " Mascot Power Rankings . " Mascot Books has published two children ' s books featuring Albert and Alberta , entitled " Hello , Albert ! " and " Albert ' s Journey Through the Sunshine State " .

5 – 2 defense In American football , the 5 – 2 defense is a defensive alignment consisting of five down linemen and two linebacker s . The defensive linemen almost always line up to the weak side , with the backside lineman on the outside shoulder of the end man on the offensive line of scrimmage . Because the extra defensive lineman makes this a strong defense against the run , it is more popular in leagues ( or specific situations ) that favor the running game . Thus , this defense is most often used in middle school and little league , and occasionally in different looks and variations in the NFL or college . The 5 - 2 used to be more popular in college football , when the running game was much more prevalent ; for example , teams in the 1980s would often employ the 5 - 2 to combat the extremely run - oriented offenses of the time . From the mid - 1950s until the early 1990s , the 5 - 2 was the base formation for most teams in the Big Eight Conference , due to the powerful rushing attacks of the Nebraska Cornhuskers and Oklahoma Sooners , and later in the 1980s , the Colorado Buffaloes . Currently , the Arizona Cardinals use this defense regularly , in addition to their base 3 - 4 . The benefit of having a 5 - 2 is that it adds size to your defense by replacing a linebacker with a defensive lineman . This helps in short - yardage situations where you want to stall the line of scrimmage and not give up the inside run . The disadvantage is in pass coverage — most 5 - 2 teams will rush all 5 defensive linemen leaving only 6 pass defenders . In some circumstances a 5 - 2 team will drop one of the linemen , typically an end , off into coverage . But this is primarily a situational defense , and not often used in situations where downfield pass coverage is a significant concern .

However some dispute that Penn State actually won by forfeit . Game summary . Penn State was without their leading rusher John Cappelletti who was suffering from a virus and a temperature of 102 degrees . Without Cappelletti , the Lions ' defense were forced to step up and held the Sooners explosive Wishbone offense to only 14 points while forcing eight fumbles , recovering five .

The NCAA says it only restricted OU ' s scholarships , TV appearances , and bowl appearances . The scandal however , prevented the Sooners from playing in bowl games for two years after his departure and also kept them from challenging for the national championship .
