The overall theme of the article saying how the two teams are very similar in overall talent is accurate. The author also makes the good point about how this will come down to scheme/management/effort.
But where he shows his homerism is only outlining where UF’s player have exceeded their recruiting ranking, and using it as his basis to to call certain comparisons a wash when we have the higher ranking.
The rankings are important for them if theirs are higher, but once we have higher rankings, then their lower rankings aren’t an accurate portrayal lmfao.
If Perine is so much better than his 3-star rating, then so is Pinckney or Garvin. That’s where objectivity was lost.
Homerism is absolutely right.
Perine was only a 3-star, but he has far outperformed his ranking. Lingard was a 5-star, but he got all his yardage against crappy teams (no mention of his injury).
Only a Gaytor writer would make such a one-sided comparison.
