Against 2 P5 teams, UF has been outscored 27-14 in the first half. But they have outscored their opponents 39-14 in the 2nd half.

It's only 2 games, so it really isn't a trend yet. If you count UT Martin, where they also started somewhat slow, they scored 17 in half 1 and 28 in half 2. But I need to see one more game against a P5 team to know for sure.

On a hot muggy day on a noon kick off in Gainesville I would not be surprised at all if the game with UT was close with UT even leading at half and UF needing another strong 2nd half to win the game.

Its our MO and I don't care if we win by 1 point...all the naysayers on the rant will tell us we're overrated and we can just smile...then when we beat AU they will start to wake up. Its coming.


When we beat LsU they will crying and hiding and yelling Mongo (O) has to go... Those Cajuns will make up every excuse in the book, the refs, weather, coaching, cheating by us, stars and moon weren't favorable with the tides....etc etc. Its like music.

Cant say why but I feel that the OL will step up and the rest will fall into place.


Had some key guys out vs KY. They should be back this week.

I’m predicting UF to come out and blow Tennessee out.

It is a trend, and I already pointed it out before the season started.



We're a second half team, and I enjoy that style.

Nice I forgot about that last year. So the last 5 games against P5 teams UF has blown them out in the 2nd half after slow starts.

It would be cool if they could start AND close strong...

I think they will. Vols fans are doing an awful lot of chirping this week.

I really think the passing game could explode.
