I didn't read the rest of the thread, but I'm just here to say, Florida already got it's freaky starting QB injured backup thrown in the fire win this season. We're going to crush them.

Thats true. Usually happens in game against us.

Agreed but will have to see it. Pruitt been harping about the drop in % to win for each turnover, again this week.

We saw Chandler sit on the bench while we lost and JG do nothing but hand the ball off. If JP isn't confident in him, Idk.

Oddly his picks have been short/medium throws. Tends to protect the ball deep fine. If he judges risk this way and risk vs reward on YPA, deep passes make more sense all the way around imo. Stretches D better too.

There is the illusion that we have a chance in this game. But IMO it is just that. I mean we beat them like 3 times in the past 20 yrs, and two of those were against Zook. They beat us, like we beat KY. I mean even years when we have the more talented team, we still find way to lose. I mean they had two 4 win teams that still managed to beat us. Sucks.

Feels like a bit of a myth when I hear "we even lose with the better team". What season recently have we even finished 2 wins ahead of them?? Their 2 4-win seasons (2017 was 4-7 bc they missed a cupcake...let's call it 5-7) we went 4-8 and 5-7 ourselves...not any better.

Oof...fans shook.

We have a chance people. I'm Still calling for a uf win...

But that's really due to one Match up.... Their front 7 should be a problem for our offensive front.

We should compete everywhere else.

Don't make the catastrophic errors and it's not gonna be a blow out...

Their linebackers are tiny. It's a shame we don't have a thumper in the backfield to punish them. A guy like Hurd would feast Saturday. Still hope Ty breaks free a few times

I love it, but I think this might be why we have such a mental block beating them. We hype this game up so much every year and psych ourselves out, prepare things like this just for this game, and put so much pressure on the players that they seem to not be able to perform up to expectations.

i think it's got more to do with the fact we should be excited to be playing in games like this instead of worrying about any of the stuff you mentioned.

it may not happen often, but we have beat these guys. and it takes players making plays. be excited to be THAT guy....like Travis Stephens was. Like Casy Clausen was.

you don't beat Florida or win any big game by thinking otherwise.

move all that clutter out. see yourself doing it. go do it.

for a very long time, i believe there was a mental block for htis program. i don't beleive it today. this coach doesn't. this staff doesn't. and a good portion of this team now has no frame of reference of what it is to lose to FL. in fact they were brought here to win games like this, and they should expect to.

fans....well, we've been here, at least any of us older than the age of 35, thru pretty much each and every loss since 1990. so there's trepidation, angst etc.....

fine. but if we're going to start winning more in this series, someone, somewhere, has to start believing it's at least possible.

eff the hex. eff florida. errbody sick of losing. go take it out on them this weekend.

If we can find a way to get our O line enfruego, JG shows up and doesn't 'ish the bed, Thompson magically is able to play, we keep a steady flow of mixing it up, Ty and Gray share carries, then we have a serious chance... keep AT on the bench.

i'll just put it this way. if Florida beats us this year (and i've already predicted they will) it's got NOTHING to do with a hex or curse. they're probably just a little better than we are right now....again.

that said, there's only one match up that truly worries me. and another one that will get me to the edge of my seat a little.

past that, i think it's pretty even....give or take here and there.
