Their new OC, Buster Faulkner is a competent OC and appears to be a good hire so far. He was abusing DJ Durkins for most of that game yesterday. He's levels above Napier as a play caller. I know that's not saying much, but that's definitely an improvement from last year.

I'm not super impressed with Philo, but he knows that system and is comfortable in it and knows how to run it. He's not better or more talented than Lagway, but he's less prone to mistakes and more efficient. So, their qb play is also better than last year. A healthy Philo is better than an injured and limited Lagway.

Their o-line looks improved. Wilson, Brown III, and Baugh are very good. Their back up running backs are better than last year.

Offensively, they are much improved from last year.

Now defensively, they appear to have taken a step back. They definitely have some holes and concerns on defense, but their offense will keep them in some games and win some of them. Last years UF team was not beating Auburn last night. Yes, Auburn is not a good team, but they are beating '25 UF.

Coaching looks better so far. Not saying Sumrall is good, but Napier was such a disaster. Wish they would have kept him for 10 more years.

Let's see what happens this week. Ole Miss is good. Hopefully Ole Miss goes into the swamp and thumps them. Maybe UF will start to implode. Their next 6 games, starting with Ole Miss, are not easy outs. Well, SC might be an easy out. I think they are like Auburn. It's not a "gauntlet" as they like to think, but it's a stretch of 5 better than average to really good teams.

I watched most of the UF-Auburn game. UF did not take their foot off the gas. Only drive they went ultra conservative was their last drive of the game. They were pretty aggressive all game. Somewhat had to be since Auburn kept hanging around.

I do feel that UF was better than Auburn and was in control of the game for most of the game. They didn't dominate by any means, but they just seemed to be one step ahead of Auburn most of the time. Kind of reminded me of our game vs Louisville last year. Louisville led the entire game and we kept it close, just couldn't stop them on some critical 3rd and 4th downs. UF was money last night on 3rd and 4th down.

Still a good win for UF since they have only won one conference road game (Miss State, '24) the last two seasons, but that Auburn team is not a good team. They were lucky to survive a below average Baylor team. I'd be surprised if they win more than 5 games. I think Auburn will beat Vandy (overrated), Arkansas, and Samford.

UF is better than last year for sure, but we will know more about them after this next game.

I mean Auburn are running the USF QB - WR combo out there from last year. They're in the middle of a complete rebuild.
 
Tough one this week. We obviously want Gata to lose, I'd root for the alien takeover of Earth before I rooted for them to be successful at anything. But we also need Trinidad to start losing games so Mensah or Mali can win the Heisman. Quite the conundrum.

How bout, Ole Miss wins, Trinidad plays just an OK game, and then they lose 3 games going forward?

Let's do that.
 
That defense is still baby **** soft. And they still haven’t played anyone. Auburn is a 4-8 team.

Depth issues will kill you.

Billy's faults can't be turned around in one year.

But better coaching will help them finally beat the teams they should beat this year. Simple enough.

And they shouldn't be ranked yet.

Brown’s statistics do not include what he did in the Auburn game. Regardless, Toney still has the double the production in every category.

One is the best player in college football. The other is a just a good receiver. Is Brown top 50? Maybe. He’s tied for 89th in receptions with 14. He’s 41st in yards with 246. He’s tied for 52nd with 2 TD’s.

Yeah, it’s really not even a conversation.

Oh, don’t forget, Mali hasn’t even played the equivalent of 1.5 games yet.
