*Not a flame thread. I don't think that the defense can carry the gators for two seasons straight. Driskel is going to have to learn to hang on to the ball if they want to be in the championship next year

No. Their best win was over an overrated LSU team at home. They overachieved this year and Im glad ND is in the title game and not them b/c it will be a better game for Bama.

They also caught A&M in a lucky situation being their first game under a new coach etc.

Florida didn't have a problem turning the ball over this year except for the UGA game. UF needs more explosive playmakers at receiver.

Yes.

Are you really this ignorant?

Florida is tied for 6th in the nation in giveaways at 12. In case you don't know how to do math in Georgia, that's only 1 per game.

6 of those came in 1 game. Which means in the other 11, they turned the ball over only 6 times.

For a team that people didn't expect much from, they played very well in a tough schedule. They might have been playing for the national championship if they could have held on to the ball against UGA

So 3-1 against the top 12 teams with wins against @TAMU and @FSU. That's more than just luck, chief. UF has the best defense in the country; they'd be a tough out for anybody.

So 92.5% of the time, Driskel can take care of the ball.

Defense will still be respectable - it'll be the offense that needs to step up and the way I see it - there's no where else to go but up.

Florida will probably lost 2 games next year.

If they can beat South Carolina on the road, they'll win the East, and probably be in the national title hunt again.

Georgia won't be as good, so Florida should handle them.

10-2 regular season with losses to LSU and South Carolina seems possible. I'm hoping for 11-2, with two losses to LSU.

I think they can be the best in the east with georgia losing so many key players on defense. But they do have to worry about South Carolina

Our QB didn't turn the ball over once against LSU, South Carolina, Texas A&M, or FSU.

The D will still be very solid next year. Maybe not quite as good as this year depending on who leaves early.

The offensive line will get a boost and we have some receivers and RBs coming in that should help with playmaking.

Our schedule is a bit eaier next year as well since Arky rotates on.

I think they will have a lot of success, if I had to be impartial I'd put them as the favorite in the East. SC and UGA would be right behind them with UT, UK, Vandy, and Mizzou a bit further down the ladder. Unless they have a mass exodus from their Defense I think they are going to be very tough.

It will be another intresting year in the SEC East.

I think they will beat South Carolina. LSU will go as their qb does. They will both be good games

Wait, I take that back, there was a fumble on a read option play against FSU. So he had 1 turnover in those 4 big games.
