Based on what we (you) know, what do you expect Saturday?

I don’t expect a perfect game on the road in a tough environment for the season opener but I expect this team to have enough discipline, talent, composure and HEART to win it. Go Canes!

1. Cam Ward light it up with deep passes?
2. Dominate OL and we rush for 200 yards keeping Mertz off the field?
3. Ball control offense mix of short passes and running the ball?
4. Dominate defense 4 sacks and 6 TFL frustrating Mertz?
5. Special teams block a punt, runs a punt back for a TD and recovers a gator fumble?

I'll be shocked but thrilled if number 5 since our ST coach is inexperienced! Also if we can take total control running the ball I prefer number 2, With our RB depth and OL talent I prefer control over too many passes. Talentwise I expect we can take control BUT the gators have won 33 consecutive home openers since 1990, key word being HOME so it is time for us to break that streak. I wish I had more faith in our coaches.

Napier is going to try and surprise us with some deep passes early in the first half. Guarantee it. UF doesn’t respect our secondary.

He doesn’t have a QB that can stretch the field. So I guess he can try it but we will see how well that works.
 
I want Ward to look like a playoff team QB. Light it up!! Look at teams that make the playoffs they almost all have a game changer at QB.
 
Balanced offense and if we don't make bad mistakes this will be a 2-3 TD win. The Gators are a good football team, but we are better than good.

Neither will the fact that this game is played in the stupid "Swamp." We will win, because we are the better team. We match up better in all areas. Maybe one area where they have the advantage, but I think we can minimalize the damage there.
 
Gonna be a close game y’all. Our talent should win it. Their at home advantage should keep them in it. Crazy excited for this game. Great to start the season with a game that means something.

Agreed. I almost hope he tries to force it down field, which doesn't come naturally to Mertz. An early INT could crush his confidence for the rest of the game and make them as one dimensional as FSU was against GT.

Mhm, yup, sure, uh huh, atta boy.

What is your opinion on these fancy new speakers in the players helmet for the coaches to communicate with them? It's one-way coach to player and not two-way communication.

Should be two way, what if it suddenly quits working? Also I hate all the communications crap as a technician I know a 12 year old could listen in without much effort. You go into the opponents stadium and use THEIR communications and expect it to be private? Dumb! Explains the games where it SEEMS the opponent knows your play calls!
