OK, I am going to assume in this prediction that UF stays relatively healthy. I think like most seasons, health will be really important, but it will be absolutely essential on the defensive line. If UF loses any starters inside on the DL, to injury, UF will be in big trouble, as we will already be relying on transfers at that position.

Let's consider the schedule

Sep 4 (Sat) Home Florida Atlantic
Sep 11 (Sat) Away South Florida
Sep 18 (Sat) Home Alabama
Sep 25 (Sat) Home Tennessee
Oct 2 (Sat) Away Kentucky
Oct 9 (Sat) Home Vanderbilt
Oct 16 (Sat) Away LSU
Oct 30 (Sat) Neutral Georgia
Nov 6 (Sat) Away South Carolina
Nov 13 (Sat) Home Samford
Nov 20 (Sat) Away Missouri
Nov 27 (Sat) Home Florida State

UF should be 5-1 heading into back-to-back games vs. LSU and Georgia that will really make or break the season. UF rarely wins on the road at LSU, and this looks like a championship type squad at Georgia. Unless Florida really improves on the LOS, I don't see UF winning either game.

South Carolina and Samford will help Florida rebound from those losses, so UF should be 7-3 heading into Missouri on the road, another place where UF has not played well and Mizzou should have a decent team this year. I think that game determines if this is a springboard year to a big year in 2022, or if a further dark cloud will linger over Gainesville heading into bowl season. Personally, I don't like the make up of this team and I think they drop that game.

They beat FSU to end the season, but end the reg season 8-4, and everyone is grumbling and we will need a big bowl win to have any momentum heading into 2022.

Slayer I would expect dark clouds and gloom from you..its a shame that you cant see sunlight.

First of all UF has more depth than last year my friend, be kind to yourself and look at the actual roster..we have a lot of beef on the DL: Gervon Dexter who got to play as a true frosh last year, Newkirk and Shelton transfers who are grown arse men shaving, Zach Carter a sr with multiple starts, Watson is big enough to eat OL for lunch, Humphries is now a soph with snaps, ditto Jalen Lee, add Lamar Goods a r/s frosh and Justus Boone a frosh. Injuries are part of the game. At LB we have a stud sr Ventrell Miller who is active, Diabate, Bogle, Chatfield, Hopper, Cox, Moon a sr stud, Wingo, Burney, and the number one JUCO Diwun Black. At DB we have All SEC cb Kaiir Elam, Trey Dean at safety, The number two rated cb Jason Marshall along with his team mate Corey Collier...a highly rated safety, Trevez Johnson a soph with snaps, Terrance Rashad a soph with snaps, Jordan Young another highly rated db, Jaydon Hill a jr, and a crapload of frosh.

The defense will surprise the naysayers.
