Clearly the stats are inflated.

That's why I believe neither team will move the ball much


But even IF the stats are inflated it doesn't account for the discrepenacy b/w FSU's offensive stats and your offensive stats. FSU's offense isn't great, but compared to UF it is significantly better. FSU just needs to stop the run.

field position and turnovers.


Punting is the only stat I could find that UF is clearly better than FSU. KR/PR/FGs are all in FSU's favor. Granted field position/turnovers you are definitely better.

I think in a defensive battle these two areas of the game are extremely important.


Right, but I have more confidence that FSU can move the ball. I think that'll be the deciding factor...it'll definitely be a close game.

No question about the disparity in SOS. Hope the Gators beat that ACC arse.

I really meant the combination of our defense and special teams is the best. There might be a better defense but I don't think there's a better defense/special teams combo.

Something Bama fans really fail to see or just plain don't read....

Florida has the number 1 strength of schedule compared to Bama, who is number 54: LINK

Yes, Bama has the number 2 defense versus that number 54 SOS, but Florida is number 4 against the number 1 SOS. LINK

Objectively, Bama loses the argument that they should have that better ranking. But I know Bama fans like to be subjective and bring up past titles to back up their statements, .

Oh, blah, with your stats.

Line them up and let em play. Then the offensive woes might tell, because Bama's offense is as good an offense as UF has faced all year, and their D is too.

Balance is the key, young padawan. When one can stop the run, and pass and run, one can win many, many games... including games against those with no O....

Go Trojans!

UF is in Bama's position from last year. I'm not sure I like that. Oh well, though. UF stll has no offense, so a FG will win. Surely Bama can hit one...

Guess we won't know of UF v. Bama for a while, perhaps SEC champ next year? Or some random arse schedule that the SEC makes up for 2014 or later? Tragedy if ND wins and UF loses on Saturday because we'll never know who the best team truly is then.

We beat a pansy ACC and the refs. We should get two victories on the books.
