It's a toss-up depending on Florida's Offense really.

If that doesn't help I can also do it like this. UF is 14th in the league in passing, and 11th in scoring.


I understand, and most of that has to do with the fact that we didn't beat up on our cupcake the way others have done. Stats are kind of meaningless at this point when you have some schools having played nobody. Having sat through the last 2 years with no flow to the offensive gameplan, what happened on Saturday was a welcome surprise. They look better and the confidence is growing in Driskell.

Better offenses would struggle to beat UT the way they've put up points. I just don't see UF having the fire power to beat them this year.

You fail to account for the following inescapable fact: they are Florida and we are Tennessee. They have an advantage on that alone.

I realize that, but it still doesn't discount the fact that everyone looked at week 1 and thought Florida was done. I agree A&M is prolly a 6-7 win team, but it was still a big win.

This is what I was going to say.

We aren't trying to set offensive records right now. We are trying to field and offense. Baby steps. How much more of the playbook will we show on Sat. I have no idea if we have more at this point or not. It looks like Pease is phasing in the complexities so our guys can build on it each week.

It's worked so far. It may not against UT.

One thing I've seen is that Driskel has apparently been holding the ball too long. Sunseri is definitely going to attack him, so if he doesn't do a better job with that, he should be sacked a few times.

Just saw where Boom said MG was "fine." We have got to keep him healthy and I hope "fine" isn't coachspeak

And here's our first bad UT fan. No, not because of your prediction.

Yes it was. With 1:30 left in the first quarter, we were down by one and they had the ball. With 0:30 remaining, we were up fifteen.

Yes, way too many sacks. I hope they'll just tell him to run sooner.

There were more than a couple of times he could have tucked the ball and had some nice gains. I hope he's not trying to do reverse Tebow and prove that he's a drop back passer. He's a dual threat QB and he needs to use it.

The fricker is 6'4 and between 240 and 250. Go challenge a Safety for pete's sake.

He needs to work on progressions like this. Oh, first guy covered...OK, run like hell.

I think if our WRs can beat the press man that y'all will run then we will be successful moving the ball. We haven't faced a good defense yet so it's just unknown how good we really are. I worry about our defense alot, especially after the NCST - UCONN abortion game

I'm not sure how much we will press. Boom may try to keep everything on front again.

I guess it depends on how much we blitz because we really haven't blitzed this year.

I predict alot of blitzing from both defenses. Our OL has been solid in pass protection, and Bray hasn't been stupid with passes yet. If I was Coach Boom I would press our WRs and make them beat your corners and keep the safeties deep to cover the bomb
