Since posters are talking 'Bama...

[NC_Canes_11]

Going back to my no excuses thread I created several months ago:

Bama is replacing a RS Jr starting QB, with a RS Fr QB

Bama is replacing their all time RB, with either a RS Soph, True Freshman, or a guy who couldn’t crack significant playing time

Bama is replacing the entire WR core of production from Ridley to Jeudy to Ruggs to the last parts, Waddle & Smith. The only returning guy w/ any significant snaps is Metchie

Bama is replacing 3 high end OLmen

Bama is losing their #1 CB, their #1 DLmen.

Bama is going to be rather green in our 1st game against them; oh, & they have new OC, too. We’ll be playing them on a neutral field. We’re returning dang near everyone, for the 1st time in yrs, and we’ll be wildly experienced across the board.

No excuses not to beat Bama, AT THE VERY LEAST, keep the score respectable & w/in range. If we get blown out.....well, this will tell us a lot about where we are as a program.

This is the only reason I’m somewhat hopeful about the first half. Not feeling great about the second. Don’t think for a second Saban won’t be trying to send a message to every single south Florida recruit, that’s there’s levels to this.

For Miami / Bama game

There's what's possible
There's what I hope happens
There's what I'd bet if it's under $100
There's what I'd bet if it's over $10000
There's what I'd bet if EVERYTHING'S on the line

They are 110th in returning production nationally. We are 3rd.

Florida football has a lot of work ahead in replacing production for 2021 season

Florida's 2020 season began with promise. It started the regular season 8-1 before dropping its last three games to finish with an 8-4 record. Now, the Gators head into 2021 needing to replace a lot of talent on both sides of the ball. UF loses almost all…

On a betting note, whenever you have a high discrepancy like this for the 1st game of the year, you always take the team with the most returning starters regardless of the point spread. This works best for the 1st game, works well for the 2nd game, and then tapers off as the year goes on.

The caveat here, is of course the assumption that King will be back at full strength.
