Kentucky vs Florida ESPN 7:00 Eastern

[Pepe_Silvia]

when I saw your avatar during the game I said it was Coach O in drag. now I can't help but see Steve Spurrier - dead ringer

Apparently the ole ball coach is a master of disguise.

Oh I totally remember Ernie Mills dropping that bomb from Kyle Morris at Auburn in 1989.

The 9:28 mark

 

[Lawrence Wright]

The 9:28 mark

So it was 87 and Kerwin was the QB.

1989 was the Reggie Slack to Shane Wasden heartbreaker with Emmitt crying on the sideline.

The Donald Douglas game.

 

[Lawrence Wright]

The Donald Douglas game.

Our QB room in ‘89 was Donald Douglas, Kyle Morris and Lex Smith.

Shane Matthews was an afterthought.

 

[Jaws]

Splat.

That’s me (us) crashing back down to earth.

For as pleased and pleasantly surprised as I was post-Utah, this was equally disappointing.

I’ve never seen AR play so poorly. Hell, I don’t think Ive see ANY UF QB play so poorly. I’ve never seen AR missing wide open guys so wildly. Something wasn’t right tonight. And I don’t understand why there were so few designed runs for him.

At any rate, this team is what I thought they were, despite having my expectations raised by a great win week 1. This is a 7-5 team, absolute ceiling of 8 wins, could also see 5-6 wins. I think we beat Mizzou, Vandy, the two directional teams, that gets us to 5 wins. Then need to pull out a couple more between SC, FSU, LSU. I see hardly any way at all this team wins in Knoxville. It’ll be UF’s first road trip with the new staff, UF got banged up (Ventrell Miller limped off and went to locker room, starting RT Tarquin limped off) and I’m not sure of others. If TN doesn’t beat UF this year, I’d be shocked.

He made 2 stupid calls and got lucky that only one led to points. The first 4th down attempt was more egregious in my opinion cause there was 7-8 min left and you could’ve really flipped the field.

Florida is going to lose a lot of games with CBN if he doesn't value field position more. Did not display good judgment.

But we were told he's building something special in gatorville

 

[wmcovol]

Ky staff just showed Utah how to prepare for a game. Ky had tape on Richardson from last year and defended him well. TR reverted to TR of late 2021. Nothing special.

Just another example of why SEC is the toughest conference in America.

 

[Bearkat_Vol]

Some of the poor coaching decisions, the lack of called QB runs for AR, and poor passes from AR all make sense if AR was playing hurt.

You already know we can’t beat you guys. We’ll of course play you guys terribly and give you the confidence you need to have a pretty good season. Everything will come together during the TN game. Wait and see.

AR channeling his inner Joe Milton tonight.

AR can’t hold JM’s dirt laundry, oh Timmy Tebow did a little ditty on him

Florida’s remaining schedule as I see it right now:

So FL - Win
Tenn - Loss
East Wash - Win
Mizzou - Win
LSU - Win
Ga - Loss
aTm - Loss
SC - Win
Vandy - Win
FSU - Win

This would be 8-4 overall and I’d take this all day long right now.

 

[ENGRVOL]

Waking up this morning Florida fans must feel pretty bad losing to kentucky 2 years in a row. I mean as a Tennessee fan under the age of 50 I wouldn’t know how that felt but imagine it would feel pretty terrible.

Meh.
It’s just so hard to say with the new coaching staff.
Marshal beat ND last night. Anything can happen any week.
I’m not predicting anything anymore.
Should we beat Florida? Probably. But how many times should we have beaten Florida in the past and didn’t. Maybe if we win half of them over the next few years my feelings will change.

True. There are a bunch of swing games that could go either way on both schedules. I just feel like with Huepel being in year two, TN having some positive momentum, it’s their year.

I used to love when he would throw his visor or whip it off.. that’s how you knew he was really pi$$ed.. Fulmer vs Spurrier games were epic

 

[hUTch2002]

If Tennessee can keep Richardson in check it’ll be a great game if not it could get ugly. I just don’t trust the defense yet.

Last year when we played Corral we decided we wouldn’t let him beat us throwing but gave up a ton of rushing yards. It should be the opposite against AR. We need to focus on keeping him in the pocket and making him throw. We should be very careful with blitzing him as he’s slippery and that’ll likely flush him out. It should be a totally different game plan from what we saw today on D.

 

[hUTch2002]

He’s got a 12-3 outright win record as an underdog. Calling him a bad coach is absurd.

He only has 4 years as a HC, all at Louisiana, so calling him good or bad at this point is absurd. He’s a coin flip for UF. Most hires are though. Mullen was more of a “sure thing” and we see how that turned out.

 

[hUTch2002]

At TN, fans would have wanted Stoops fired after year 2. Just goes to show what can happen when you give a coach time.

If it’s the right guy. We knew in year 2 Dooley wasn’t, for example. I believe Heup is.

 

[hUTch2002]

Sure you can. Like him or not, Stoops is one heck of a coach. Put him on one of the big time programs in the SEC, I would bet he does really good.

Maybe but maybe not. Mullen was doing well at Miss St and it didn’t translate to Florida. Perhaps that’s why Stoops has stayed. He’s paid pretty well and he knows a new situation is a gamble.

 

[RDU VOL#14]

UK corner not impressed

 

[lawgator1]

If it’s the right guy. We knew in year 2 Dooley wasn’t, for example. I believe Heup is.

That's why most UF fans today aren't particularly upset.
