gregron: i’m fairly certain all of their players, except pouncey, were playing out of their normal positions. They had a starting lineman out and switched everyone over to fill gaps. They haven’t been very confident with some of their freshman. Urban meyer also isnt too happy with his wide receiver back ups. So the starting receivers were playing pretty much the entire game.
Also, USF was a pretty good team last year. They lost a lot of good players up front on defense.
Now that florida is starting to establish their running game a little more, they will do just fine. The solid ground game will open up play action passes. Florida’s defense will stop ANY passing team.
I’m a little worried about SC but, i’m really wanting to see the game. The battle between spurrier and meyer should be epic. Lots of pulling shit out of their asses.
Bama will not be able to win the National title, even if they can beat florida. Their defense is too young.
I’m predicting 300 yards rushing against UT Saturday.[/quote]
Man, you’re the most delusional UF homer I’ve seen this season. Face it, your gators are in for a 9 win season.
UF will not go to the NC this year. They will lose to Bama, and if they play the way they did Saturday against SC while SC plays the way they did against GA, then they will lose to SC too. If, by some weird mindfuck of the universe UF and OSU end up in a bowl fight, Ohio State will crush them. Tressel thrives by capitalizing on the other team’s mistakes and Florida is making far too many mistakes at this point.
Bama’s defense is young, but hitting it’s groove early. We will have to wait to see how they look against the SEC but they not only beat, but DISMANTLED Penn State last weekend. You’re acting like Bama beating UF is some off chance (“even IF”) when the fact of the matter is, UF lost far more talent on both ends of the ball last year than Bama and Bama cockshoved the gators last year.
“Also, USF was a pretty good team last year. They lost a lot of good players up front on defense.”
This should tell you something. Florida took 28 minutes to put points up against a YOUNG Big East defense.[/quote]
All i can say is wait and see. I think you’ll be surprised.[/quote]
Dude, legacyfighter, I’m about as much of a die-hard arrogant UF fan you’ll find this side of the country, and I have to agree with Stronghold. Part of being a fan is also being totally objective about the problems. And guess what… we have a lot of them, for the time being.
I actually think this weekends’ game against Tennessee is going to be a pretty good indicator of how the rest of the season is going. If we win by 30, we have a chance for a BCS game. If we win by 1-2 TDs, we’ll probably have a 9/10 win season, as Stronghold said. If it’s by 7 or less, or a loss, we’re fucked. Seriously.
And I do hope I’m wrong, definitely. The offense as a whole just looks “out of sync.” I will say, it’s unfortunate that the defense is getting so overlooked because of the incompetent offense, because holy fuck. The D is looking great, even with rotating in 3-4 Freshmen in on any given play. That’s not the issue.
They’re not letting Brantley get unchained enough (too many short passes, not enough of a vertical threat,) we can’t decide if we’re a spread team or a Pro-team, and I honestly can’t tell if we’re trying to run a zone-blocking scheme or not. It’s just that ugly right now.
Either way, although Alabama isn’t quite to the degree of where they were last year at this point, we only have UT and Kentucky (which are NOT easy games by any stretch of the imagination) before the showdown in Tuscaloosa.
Again, I truly hope I’m wrong.
ALSO::: Did anyone see Florida’s WR Chris Rainney was just arrested for aggravated stalking? WTF?!?!?!?!?!
