Does game make difference for Ligon
Memphis (Tenn.) Christian Brothers defensive end David Ligon has listed Tennessee and Florida as his top two teams for quite some time. So will the Vols big win in The Swamp made a difference in his decision?
"No, it's not really going to make a difference," Ligon, who is 6-foot-5 and 275 pounds, said.

"I don't see the game playing a role in my decision. I think the game was good for me because it gave me a chance to see a game in The Swamp and I did get to see two of my top teams."
Ligon said the unofficial visit to Florida also gave him a shot at meeting the coaches and players in person.
"That was probably the biggest thing," Ligon said. "I know why I like the two schools, but it was good to spend time talking with the guys before and after the game."
Ligon said he's still recovering from the experience of The Swamp.
"It was so loud," Ligon said. "I still can't hardly hear."
Ligon is taking a visit to Memphis on Dec. 7 and Georgia Tech on Dec. 14 and is set to visit Florida on Jan. 11 and Tennessee on Jan. 18.
But there is a good chance that he'll make a decision before Christmas.
"Georgia Tech is still very high on my list, and I haven't been to the campus yet," he said. "I could see myself coming back from Georgia Tech and then being able to make a decision because I know what it's like at Tennessee and Florida now."
