Did you guys see Ford last night? He's a freaking monster. People on here still don't give Bethel credit. He's always been stout just not a wow playmaker. Last night Pat said he's benching 415 and squating 525. He's as strong as an ox in a contract year. Let's see how the inexperienced Gators OL's do against big daddy Ford and Bethel as a senior with a ton of experience. Does anyone really believe the UF OL full of inexperienced 3 stars will get push on these guys? I don't see it.

If you include Hill to the Dline list he had 3 sacks in 3 games. Had he played the whole season the TFL's and sacks would be similar to our graduates. That's excluding the UCLA transfer. Like you said in more words, there's not going to be a drop off of DL play at UM this season.

While I tend to agree with you, I would just point out a small difference in "drop-off of DL play" and the evidence of statistics that shows that our DL "non-starters" got plenty of experience last year.

Nothing is a guarantee in life. It is POSSIBLE that our entire DL ****es the bed and plays terribly in 2019. However, the evidence is plentiful (even if one poster only wants to examine "starts") that gives rise to a very reasonable conclusion that our DL is VERY LIKELY to be as good, if not better, than our 2018 DL.

That's all I'm saying. There is analysis, and then there is ANALYSIS. Anyone can say "3 new starters". But if you want to truly analyze what is likely to happen with our 2019 DL, you have to go a bit deeper, which that earlier poster was ill-equipped to do.

Not being a homer here, just trying to use actual statistics, which is not that hard. If only "caneaddict" had made the effort...

Our D line versus the UF O-line is the biggest mismatch of the game. There's a lot of areas both teams stack up fairly evenly but this matchup is all Miami. They'd better hope all those guys who have never played outside of mop-up duty have made huge jumps over the off season.

I wish I could like this comment 1,000 times. The success of their offense last year was entirely based on whether their run game could get 200+ yards in a game and get push up-front. The only P5 game they won with under 200 rushing yards was a 13-6 slugfest against Mississippi State, where the only touchdown was scored on a trick play. In every loss they had, they had less than 200 yards.

Their 2018 offensive line, which was loaded with talent, is miles better than the line they'll be fielding on 8/24. They proved time and time again last year that if their running game could be limited, Franks wouldn't be able to win a game on his arm alone. If we take advantage of this mismatch like we should, we win.

Nick Saban: Before he was a legend in the state of Alabama, Saban was the defensive coordinator for Belichick’s Browns from 1991-1994. He helped Belichick achieve his first winning season as a coach in 1994, going 11-5 and defeating Bill Parcells’ Patriots in the playoffs. Soon afterward, Saban left to become coach of Michigan State, where he would begin his long run of success in the college ranks (starting with the recruitment of Plaxico Burress).

DC to HC? Saban says hi.

We haven't came within TWO td's of beating UGA the last two times we've played them but now we're just going to beat them because the game was competitive at the start of the 4th quarter? I think we can have a great season but i'm definitely keeping my expectations in perspective.

Can we beat Missouri (which will be on the road) before we start talking about being a bootleg Clemson?

Serious question for anyone with knowledge. Are those drills the WRs are doing with that company even beneficial? Dragging your feet seems dumb.

Getting my eyes dilated & the last thing I read is (assuming I'm not typing gibberish) "if we really wanted him Dan would get him".

So which is it? Is the sky falling because big dan can't recruit? Or is he letting guys.. HE'S BEEN RECRUITING.. go because he doesn't really want them?

No, it's a terrible drill. The only time I've ever seen the drag drill used in the NFL or colleges is at the sideline working on getting toes down to complete a catch. Literally sent the clip to friends still with teams this morning and we had a great laugh about it.

Seems like they get some business, including NFL guys and our own KJ Osborn
