4 - 1 (I'm giving myself the Vanderbilt game because I correctly predicted what would happen if their backup played, and not knowing the QB was very important.)

Let's get to it:

Quarterback: Kelly Bryant has been "hamstrung" (literally, his hamstring) for the past few weeks and it is unclear if he will play. However, if he were to play: He can be dangerous with his legs and extending the play, but...he seems to have very bad decision making in critical moments. I think, out of the limited action I saw, 3 of his interceptions have been in the Red Zone. He's a good player, and their offensive line has been good at stopping the rush outside of a few select games.

His backup:

Not good.

Connor Bazelak is 8/12 on the year for 64 yards on the year.

Taylor Powell is 21/48 for 192 yards. Neither of the backups have thrown a touchdown the entire season.

Florida QBs:

Kyle Trask: Coming off of the best game of his season, he is still a threat in every single game in spite of the one-dimensional offense that we run. The best thing that Kyle offers is that he doesn't seem to be phased from turnovers. His first pass is almost the exact same as his last pass, no matter what has happened during the game. Whatever he's doing, it's allowed him to have the #13 in Total QBR.

Emory Jones: He's played enough that I think I can give a slight review and say something about the Missouri Defense. First and foremost, Emory has not looked ready to take over the offense. Outside of one drive, he has been used sparingly and a lot of it has been achieving more reps in the run game, and that being said...

Missouri's defense is horrendous playing against option Quarterbacks. Kentucky's QB had no problem running at will against them, so I actually think this is the first game where we see Emory quite a bit.

-----

Missouri's Offense: Their entire offense has 26 touchdowns on the year. For comparison, Kyle Trask has 23 touchdowns by himself. Their offense, simply put, is not good. For one: They have very little vertical threat which means playing man all but certainly means that you will be able to shut their offense down.

Florida Offense: We seem to be running a little better week by week, but not enough to make a difference in this game. Our entire offense is passing, and that is just who we are. However: Missouri is terrible at tackling, if we utilize a short throwing game we can easily bank on them making mistakes.

-----

Missouri Defense: Not bad, but definitely not good they have been stiff here and there. However, they have had trouble getting to the Quarterback and are 105th in the country and only have 14 sacks on the year. We should have a pretty good day throwing against them.

Florida Defense: We will have a good or bad game depending on what Grantham calls. We will need to stuff the line, play man and force them to pass to beat us. Contain their QB and everything goes our way. With the right defensive plan, we are a very good team.

Also: Wilson has been moved to STAR.

-----

Pessimistic Prediction: The curse continues. We come out like a zombie for no particular reason and play poorly in all phases of the game, Missouri's QB has several clutch plays and we have several inexplicable turnovers that have us all scratching our head and asking: What did we do to deserve this?

21 - 23

Optimistic Prediction: They can't stop our passing threat, we break multiple tackles and get a few lucky bounces on our way to a huge route. Our team comes out for blood having lost several horrendous games including last year and our gameplanning all comes together, finally, and we get our revenge.

42 - 13

Realistic Prediction: Maybe we are a little snakebit, but we manage to make it work and we are able to wear down Missouri's defense with several long drives. We get a few turnovers, we give one and we are able to pretty much dominate the game.

31 - 17.

-----

This week is also highly dependent on who is playing at Quarterback. If it's Kelly Bryant, I will take the "realistic" prediction. If it's anyone else I take the Optimistic prediction.
