Realistic Expectations for Florida

[voladdiction]

I casually watched Florida's first two games against Toledo and Miami (flipping back and forth to them).

Here's what I think.

It's silly to think Florida sux. They have a solid defense - one that could give our struggling offense great difficulty.

Driskel is better than people think. He threw for something like 291 yards against Miami (and completed something like 22 of 31 passes, if I remember correctly).

They had a 100+ yards receiver against Miami (Patton?)

What CBJ said at the beginning of the season applies to this game: We are a team that can afford very, very, very few mistakes, if we're going to win.

One hopeful note: Florida is mistake prone.
20 penalties for 140 yards.
They turn the ball over - 5 times against Miami.

We gotta play disciplined, opportunistic ball to have a chance against the Gators.

If we come out against FLA with today's game. We will loose. No doubt about it.
Just an observation.

 

[SuperDave]

SCORE
UT 75
FL negative elventeen

 

[GahLee]

We have no chance. 27-3.

 

[tumscalcium]

We'll lose by 20.

 

[Meachem]

As much as I'd like for FL's streak to end I just don't think we can get it done down in Gainesville

 

[govols105]

The game being on CBS almost guarantees a loss... almost.. 1998,2001,2003,2004 are the only exceptions.

 

[UTK]

If we can score double digits ill be shocked

 

[mmajaz12]

Depending on the kind of offense and defense that we saw today, I am expecting a 6-6 season and bowl game

I just hope that we are able to improve and defeat one of either of FLA, GA, AL, SC, AU ....

I hope to god the dearest that we atleast make a bowl game this year... at least 6 wins

 

[VolStudent5]

eight years of straight losses. i can't believe it. please butch.. win this game.

 

[mmajaz12]

More worried about the D though. the way in which every OR drive almost every play a receiver was wide open... i mean the longest they took to score a TD was like 2:13... it is just ridiculous to think that the coverage was blown so many times. Not to mention no pressure at all from the front 7....

 

[ericberry4heisman]

Yeah. Florida will kill us.

AGAIN.

 

[rocketskates]

There have been so many times that we have said this is the year. Last year this game was especially hyped in our favor and we see how that turned our. God willing maybe this is the year that the sun shines on the dogs ass and we get it done.

Had trouble spotting the ball... had no idea what the hell was happening on the field.
Hope we get 'm this time...

Hard for me to see us beating Candy at this point. Can't believe I just typed that. I really think 5 and 7.

I wish it were that easy my friend.

 

[ericberry4heisman]

Me too. I'd just sacrifice you.
