Tyler Jordan's out a few weeks due to eye surgery

Jaawan Taylor will start at RT


Fred Johnson and RDJ will rotate at RG

Tyrie Cleveland got 6 mos probation and is out due to injury

Kalif Jackson and Worton return from injury

AC81 is questionable to doubtful. Hope he sits.

Jordan Cronkrite apparently isn't happy and rumblings he's gone after the year.

Martez Ivey is banged up with injuries and fighting through the pain.

Cronkite juggled and dropped a pass....what room does he have to be grumbling? He has had chances and the staff are evaluating each position...nothing is set in concrete. If he complains...thats not a team guy honestly....maybe the rumor mill is off some?

He had a tweet that said he wasn't at the top anymore and he embraces the grind to be the top guy again. I don't know how people are twisting that into having a bad attitude and transferring.

Also announced today UF is getting 100 million in facility upgrades.

Cronkrite is the best of the bunch imo.

Not even halfway through the season, and our OL is in serious trouble.

Go read the thread about that on 24/7. His HS coach posts there and is the one who said he was looking to leave.

I would hate that if it were true.

He's got two bad shoulders and now apparently leg problems. We need him to be healthy. I'd sit him until 2017 and get a medical RS.

OL take a beating and they are the heavyweights...the 310-350 lb beasts that pave the way. I hate that Jordan may be out for UT game. Its ironic that UF gets flagged for face mask infraction and yet you KNOW that Jordan had to have had a UK DL slam into his facemask to break an orbital eye bone and we never get those calls.

Desir-Jones and Fred Johnson will play guard and maybe Fred can find a home there and be insurance at tackle if needed. Jordan's natural position is center which he played in high school...Cam Dillard is a jr and so is Sharpe...just about all of the rest are underclassmen, which is why we are having hard time recruiting OL.

UT has some decent DL & LBs but are missing their best LB who may not play in a week. I know Desir-Jones played some in the UK game and thank God he will get snaps tonight and get ready along with Fred...we dont need DL coming into Del Rio's wheelhouse untouched...damn sure dont need that.

Back to Cronkite....right now he needs to understand we are having open auditions at several positions and RB is one of them. We wont be feeding 4 RBs for long..someone is going to have to watch the game from the bench.

RBs need carries and its hard to have timing down when you get limited carries. I expect early in the game tonight... to see one or two RBs get a lot of touches and those two are going to be at the top if they produce. Its not just running...they must be blockers or sit. The other two RBs will get carries as the game becomes one sided (hopefully).
