So, check this out.

The 4 good teams Florida has played actually suck at passing the ball.

Miami - 38th

Tennessee - 96th

Kentucky - 89th

Auburn - 100th


Averages to about 80th.

For comparisons sake, LSU is sitting at 2nd in the land.

Thats correct boys and girls. The best passing attack Florida has faced is Miami Football.

And despite this, Florida sits below 30th in pass defense.

Got to imagine Burrow is a gigantic upgrade from every single one if those QBs.

So LSU is going to score points. The real question? How is Florida going to keep pace with this offense on the road in their second straight behemoth showdown?

Tiger Stadium will be at capacity easy, and this game has been circled on everyones calender.

You got real used to the Swamp. I like our chances.

Well Burrow has amassed his stats against the following pass defenses, based on Opponents Passing Yard per game:

Ga Southern - 81
Texas - 122
Northwestern St - N/A
Vandy - 110
Utah St - 118

So I guess something has to give?

Go watch the game tapes. We played back and let teams dink and dunk on us. We blitz but play soft coverage behind it. We lead the nation in sacks and picks for a reason though, very opportunistic defense. We rarely get beat for long plays, and let teams drive till the red zone, where we have the best defense in the nation.

Not sure why we do it. Our corners should be fine in press coverage but it seems outside of Henderson they don't fully trust them. They pressed a lot more vs Tenn, then a lot vs Auburn as well and it significantly improved the pass defense numbers.

I think Burrow will pass 300 yards on us. The key is forcing mistakes and continuing to have stellar defense in the red zone.

Hopefully we press more though and don't continue to let teams dink and dunk like we did the first few games. It was annoying as shite.

Who pulled their starting QB this week after he threw 3 interceptions in his first 7 attempts.
