I'm not very convinced Florida plays better defense than Oregon. You gave up 21 points to Miami. Granted one of those TDs was the result of a Florida fumble deep in their own territory. Still it looks like Miami penalties stopped Miami a few times.
Tenn doesn't make the mistakes Miami made.
Throw it deep. Our secondary will improve as the season goes on, but we've got a couple new safeties who sometimes don't line up correctly and are still learning how to communicate.
There is zero reason to believe Florida has a better defense than your ducks. Our fans are just scared of everyone after yesterday. You're spinning your wheels. This board has a bad habit of "meltdown mode" after a loss.
Everytime we lose for some reason our opponents become 10 feet tall and bulletproof in the eyes of most of our fans.
Well I think that comes with being dedicated fans with very high expectations. It's tough when you get beat.
Still the reality is, you guys should be very very tough on Florida. If Smith starts catching the ball more consistently and exploits the Florida secondary. That is where they are vulnerable in my opinion. That happens and the power running game will get in gear. The points will come. Plus Florida hasn't exactly lit up the score board. Should be a good game.

Your suggestion that Florida's defense would've faced the same kind of beating from Oregon that we got is, frankly, a little out there.
And while I think Muschamp has some shortcomings as a head coach, one area where that isn't the case is defensively. Their defense last year was outstanding and I'm not convinced why it shouldn't be this year, especially given how they've performed to this point.

3 years ago Miami was where we are now. They have a good coach who had to come in and fix relations with high school coaches, bad recruiting and no depth. Miami is now and will be a good team. And their only gonna get better.
The boats and hos haven't hurt either.
