BYU just beat a ranked team. Florida's stats are inflated from playing a terrible Miami team.


BYU beat an inflated USC team who was only ranked because they beat Stanford......who just got Billy clubbed by UCF.

I'm not arguing that we'll pull an upset but we will move the ball. Legit criticism would focus on how many points JG leaves on the field because of his lack of vision (that bit us in the BYU game as did BYU switching to the option and will likely bite us again against UF as will Mullen's hints about using the option against us with Jones and Trask both being on the field at the same time)>


I certainly did not see JG turning into a disaster. Really thought he'd take a step and be a solid QB.

I guess the wild card there is Trask for a full game. He looked solid in relief, but sometimes that is deceiving long term.

On what planet do you live on where saying 'we will move the ball' is sunshine pumping?

Earth perhaps? I mean anything's possible but the start of this season has been a full on disaster for you guys.

Guantanamo looks confused, O-line still sucks and you're fixing to play a far better team than your first three opponents.

If there’s one thing about the internet you should know it’s “don’t point out the things that bother you as then everyone will do just that”.

"Bothered" isn't the word I would use, but thanks for solid contribution #2

Eh.. you could say the same about a lot of teams. Rankings this early are useless. My point is BYU isn't a cupcake team. They play a legit schedule every year and are playing more Power 5 teams in the first few weeks than anyone (including P5 teams) and have a more recent National Championship than UGA. We should've won that game and gave it away but they're a respectable opponent.

JG has regressed this year and I'm not sure why. I'm hoping it's familiarity with the offense but he's been pretty terrible aside from UTC. His issues are 100 percent mental.

I think Trask has a lower ceiling but a higher floor. He willlikely move the ball more consistently without the dumb mistakes but he also won't pull of the miracle throws that were Franks' bread and butter. But you're right it's hard to say with a limited sample.

That said, against us he'll look like a Heisman Candidate.

And we will still move the ball. That's really not hard to do. Do you think such a simple statement means that I think we will move it for 500 yards?

I like...

Georgia by 14 or so over ND. A game that’s not really that close, but the score looks respectable.

Auburn over Aggie. Low scoring game.

Mizzou in a game with bothe teams in the 30s/high 20s. Competitive the whole way through. Will probably be the best game of the weekend.

Ole Miss over Cal

Kentucky over State in another relatively low scoring game.

Florida dominates Tennessee. Holds them under 10 points
