First and foremost all the “experts” giving early analysis on this game seem all wrong. I’m surprised with what I saw on tape vs what people believe will happen 8/24.
I watched the UF spring game to start things off. You’d have never known the “strength” of the team is the secondary and the “weakness” is the OL. The tape looks the EXACT opposite.
The strength of the UF team is by far and way the WR’s. They get open and most importantly catch the football. They are way ahead of the UM WRs in simply catching the ball this spring. Let me be nice by saying Evidence Njoku has stone hands after watching Traz and Otown. UF has a clear advantage here so we need JT4 and Brevin healthy to match that production. They dropped one ball the entire game and it was somewhat contested.
Here’s the good stuff. The UF DL got zero pressure except for a handful of plays on the supposedly awful OL in the spring game. It was so non-existent that UF beat reporters were bombarding Mullet about it in his PC after the game. He didn’t have a good answer. I think UF’s DL and secondary is severely overrated minus one player in Henderson. The safety’s were burned the majority of the time against the big slow TE’s. They will have no idea what hit them with Will and Brevin.
Overall, the UF offense without pressure is much more fluid than Um’s right now. I’m hoping Enos just kept things really vanilla etc etc but UF looked miles ahead on offense. IMO UM needs to figure out the QB situation sooner than later and Enos needs to start catering the offense to that guy. That being said, I think UF is in for a big surprise with UM’s defense. They won’t be able to run and Diaz blitzes will give them fits. They will have to beat us with big plays down the field. That’s what they are good at so we need to prep for it. I have no doubt Gurvan and Bubba are much better than UF’s safety’s they play against in practice. They couldn’t cover anybody.
