Yes. I think they definitely would. On a neutral site by 2 TDs at least.

I think so. I could see Florida beating them 24-10.

Clemson is way down this year. Offense is terrible.

I don't know about 2 TD, but it's very possible that Florida would beat them.

Yea. Clemson is absolutely an average at best team this year. Bama would beat them by 30 and I think UF showed UF is near what Bama is so.

They could slow down the run game some but they wouldn’t be able to score since even Tech can shut down their offense. Would be 27-13 type of game probably.

Y’all are severely underestimating them. They are struggling a good bit, but they are very good defensively.

The average college football team doesn’t have any trait nearly as good as their DL.

They needed a goal line stand to beat Georgia Tech.

Stop.

Bad games happen. They still have good players.

bad game for them, definitely. but that game was also delayed for weather for several hours. It's hard for a team to maintain intensity during that. I would not base an opinion on that game.

Don't get me wrong....Florida looked great against Alabama. I think you guys are for real and would beat them. I just think people are underestimating them. They are definitely not the Clemson of 3-4 years ago, though.

It would be an interesting matchup. Mullen vs Venables would be a good chess match. Todd Grantham and our OC, Tony Elliot, would be playing an inept game of chess.

I think Florida can beat every team on the schedule if we play well, and lose to 6 or 7 teams on our schedule if we don't. This team has potential if the defense continues to improve. I think Saturdays game vs Tennessee will determine a good bit. If we come out sharp then I will think this team has a chance to be really good and if we come out flat I can see this team lose 4 games again this season.

A lot of people don't realize that you can tell a lot about a team when they play a weaker opponent after a big game. Tennessee is good enough to win most Saturdays. If Florida takes them lightly and it turns into a close game or gets beat, that will tell us they MAY not be ready. If come out focused they will be a handful for everybody.

Not on the OL. They haven’t had a good OL in a few years but Lawrence and ETN made up for it. This year’s OL is even worse and they don’t have All-American playmakers to make up for it.

Their QB even struggled versus an FCS team the weak prior. Their defense is great but their offense looks like a dumpster fire. Florida could probably beat them 13-6.

I wish we could play them again now with their wounded pride and our health/experience improving.

It certainly isn’t championship caliber, but most college teams are worse on the OL.

People greatly overestimate the average college football team.
