I love enjoying gator drama.
But that defense is pretty good. They have a lot of speed in the secondary and are sound in coverage.
Their o-line is hot garbage.
I hope our team doesn’t act like this is gonna be a walk in the park. Uif and fspoo have several players with a lot of speed that can hurt you.

That team has poor discipline and no faith in their staff. They’re gonna be hype to come in here and try to pull an upset and get the ball rolling. But we go up by more than 10 points early and they will fold.

If we start slow and allow this to be a close game it can get very interesting.
Teams with their backs against the ropes can pull of some upsets if they see any hope.

But I just don’t see that team rallying into togetherness in 6 days.

On paper, it will be the toughest team that we face.

Excluding special teams:
Miami: .9075
Notre Dame: .9136
S Florida: .8467
Gators: .8998

On defense, their position rooms exceed ours at safety and cornerback

LMFAO at Miami "not being up for UF/FSU". People type that and really actually believe it.

There are things you can question about Mario but (with a couple exceptions with injuries and talent deficiencies early) he always seems to have his guys up for the big name programs. TAMU, at UF, Notre Dame, and at Ohio State (when he was at Oregon). It's the random duds that have done him in.

This is not a direct attack to you, but once again, our DB rooms don't ever matchup, so why are we comparing them? I'll take our QB/WRs/OC vs their DBs/DC over their QB/WRs/OC vs our DBs/DC.

I wont argue that. Keeping it a bean, the following players are the ones I felt have repped the logo this season on the field:

Baugh
Slaughter
VB3
Money McClain (he’s been EXCELLENT)
Myles Graham
Gumbs
Sapp

Lagway is looking like a lactose intolerant Cleo Lemon

There is enough talent on offense to be better than what they’ve shown. Billy has the same problem that a lot of terrible play callers have: if his offensive line isn’t dominant, he has nothing. Gators out there looking like Josh Gattis is calling the plays.

Scrap the heavy sets with all the motion and H-Back shifts and streamline the whole system. Spread the field a little more and give DJ some easier reads. There’s teams out there with much less talent scoring a lot more than Florida because they don’t try to force a terrible offense to work.

Yeah, I’m really struggling to think of who is going to take the job that will satisfy the fanbase.

Someone like Lanning wouldn’t leave for that rebuild - he has everything in place that he needs at Oregon and things are running smoothly. It’s just a matter of him winning the games he needs to win to make the title and win the ship.

Lane? Well, maybe, but is it a lateral move at this point? Maybe up, maybe down? I honestly don’t know if the UAA would approve him.

Someone like Cignetti maybe? That would be their best bet, but there is no guarantee he will succeed and it is their FIFTH coach in the 15 years since Urban. They have to get this right.

Will be funny when the 6th attempt to fail since Urban is Urban

The resident Gator fan in here is a great microcosm of the fan base as a whole. There’s that underlying arrogance that still believes they have immense talent, it’s the top job in the country and all they need is a new coach…and any coach should be beating down the door to get the job.

It’s a mid tier job right now. A rebuild and big lift, with even bigger pressure. A couple of lucky wins against decent teams last season doesn’t change that, it just fooled their fanbase. Reminds me of UM from 2006-2023 lmao.

We've been in this situation ourselves. A decent blue chip ratio and a handful of name players. It's not enough. You need real depth, not three and four stars that will end up transferring to G5.

Good question. LSU managed 13 offensive points off 5 INTs. I know UF has some talent on defense but they're not THAT good. My guess is that they are pretty decent and LSU's offense is pretty average.

Exactly. And then the other teams they played are USF and LIU. LIU is obviously going to be completely overmatched, but if UF’s defense was so great, it should show in the numbers, right?

Well, let’s take a look…

Looks like USF’s defense actually did a slightly better job than UF’s defense. Maybe that’s the real reason USF came out on top, and not the refs, and the spitting, and all the other dumb excuses Gators had post-game.

I haven’t been impressed with LSU’s offense yet, and Nussmeier hasn’t done anything worthy of the hype yet this year. So I really don’t understand why UF is getting credited for shutting down LSU (other than the obvious - SEC!!!).

I have said that the strength of UF’s team is the talent on D in the LB / DL because there is talent. However, they lack depth of talent here too. And regarding our game with them this week, I am very confident in our OL. And more confident in our WRs than their secondary.
