re: Predicting Florida's record

Straws,

Yes, UF played close games against TAMU, LSU, and South Carolina, but also had close wins against UK and UT. UF was probably closer to 2-9 last year than 6-5 if we are being brutally honest.

Then, you look at the schedule. Yes, not a lot of great teams, but you have a lot of teams with experienced QBs. Fromm, Bentley, Locke, Fitzgerald, Francois, Shurmur, etc.

I don't think Florida's defense is good enough to prevent teams with good passers from moving the ball. I think UF will out-talent Vanderbilt, but anyone else with a decent QB is going to put a ton of pressure on UF, and I think they will lose most of those games because the offense won't be able to keep up.

We'll see how the season plays out with injuries, QB development, etc.
