quote:

The coach preparing to meet the 12th-ranked offense in a 14-team league said without triggering his gag reflex even once that the Gators “are probably the best overall team that we have played against all year long.”

And when Saban got really warmed up, when he took a detour by talking about the media and the negative energy fostered over its many platforms, he spoke to the hidden dangers of a game like Saturday’s.

“I think y’all set us up for (a flogging in the press) a little bit,” he said. “Like when I hear everybody talking about this game and how we’re supposed to win this game. As if Florida does not have a good team that won 10 games and is one of the nationally ranked teams and beat Ole Miss really bad (38-10), a team that beat us. How did they do that?

“So if we fail in this game, you can put the hammer on me. It’s a set up. I get it. I hope our players get it.”

Seems fair. With Harris they aren't great, but people talk about them like they're on par with South Carolina or Auburn.

Auburn's offense is better than UF's.

Sorry Nick, your players aren't buying it. Maybe if you show them film of the 1996 Gators they'll get worried. But if you show them #3 on film, they're going to laugh at you. Young man couldn't hit water if he fell out of a boat.

Translation: "I'm fricking tired of getting no credit for beating teams out of the top 25"

East Main Street VoTech Intramural Team is fielding an offense with a QB rating over 13 right now.

No QB. No kicker Period

UF does have one of the top Ds in the nation but the offense is hard to watch with open targets being missed by 10 feet

Their defense is better than any defense Alabama has played. If Bama could only muster 29 points against a shitty Auburn defense, I'm a little edgy about this one.

This isn't deer in headlights Missouri, either. Florida has been to this game enough times. I wouldn't be surprised if ol Urban Meyer isn't sending McElwain some notes.

Notes dont matter when the QB cant throw 10 feet

Youll see trust me

Because they had roided out quarterback that you're not going to have to play against, Nick.

Florida's D is legit.

This game probably ends up like 14-3.

Alabama's offense tops out at around 30 points against moderate defenses.

Florida's defense is garbage.

This game, I fear, will be where the defense gets fed up. If Treon throws an out route and the receiver runs a seam and is wide open, the D may just say screw it.

You can't have a defense go out there time after time after time, and play that well, and play that hard, just to see it flushed away.

The highlight of UF possessions has become the punt.

I agree with this, but I think we'll be good for about 17-21 points. That UF D ain't no joke.
