Another reason I think 50.5 is high for the total.
Have to imagine the 1st Q, if not 1st half, is gonna be like the first round of a heavyweight boxing match (OT: RIP Sweet P
@k9cane)... feel each other out and avoid making a mistake/TO. Neutral site, ABC primetime game, first game of season against a bitter rival, etc.
Florida retuns 72% of its defensive production (good for 42nd in the nation). Strong secondary. Weak at MLB. This should create an opportunity to get the TEs involved, as you mentioned. Could see a few designed qb runs. Maybe take a deep shot to keep them honest, but otherwise grind it out and rely on our defense to create favorable field position. Can't stress the importance of the punter enough.
I recall everyone saying we should go the opposite way vs LSU last year -that we should attack attack attack. Didn't exactly work out. Usually doesn't against this caliber defense, unless you have Baker Mayfield back there.
Curious to see if Enos scripts his first 10-15 plays. The benefit of a new staff early in the season is lack of film for the opponent to study. We have an advantage against the defense in this regard.
