So last years 116th ranked total offense after losing a lineman to the nfl, their leading scorers and breaking in a new QB against one of the best defensive lines will hang 27 points on them? How?

The Florida offense will get so beat up that they'll probably start punting on first downs to avoid the negative yardage plays.


Called having a QB who can throw the ball.

Basic common sense actually.

If Michigan loses they are bad at football.

You really think a QB playing his first game on the road in a stadium that seats 100,000 will be accurate? Michigan blitzes 70% to 80% of the time and they threaten a blitz on every down. The Florida offensive line has no depth and there are a few new starters. Martez Ivey is playing with an injury, what happens if he goes down?

Last year, only 3 opposing QB's in the first 9 games that Michigan played actually finished the game. This years team is playing their second season under Don Browns system and by all accounts they are faster and stronger.

That's pretty interesting. Not my team, but from reading things here and there, Franks is big, can run, and has a big arm.

Not noted for his football iq though. I'm sure Florida is going to to what they can to minimize the impact, but plenty of qb's have had bad games when faced with overwhelming pressure, let alone in their first real playing opportunity.

Crap, who was that short qb from Miami they used when Grier got antlered? Maybe they could use a package like they had for him. If they go full drop-back, I think they are going to have a long day.

Michigan doesn't have one of the best defensive lines. They are returning zero starters on defense.

Florida's new QB beat out Florida's old QB, so not sure how that's a negative.

Florida returns 4 offensive lineman.

This game could be ugly either way . Both teams have big changes from last year.

If Maurice Hurst went to the NFL he would have been a top round draft choice. Rashan Gary was the only recruit ranked #1 by every ranking agency ever. They will both be first round NFL draft picks when they go.

Florida's old QB had 8 TD passes to 8 Int's. If he couldn't be beat out then the program would be in even worse condition than everyone else can see.
