I think Lovett may turn out to be alright at LT but Ugorji at RT is a real big question mark. I know he was a freshman last season at Stanford but he got blown up a few times in our spring game also. Hopefully he did really improve a lot in camp.

Game manager with legs. We'll take it I don't expect much more.

Hmmm, ...I struggle with determining much about either of these teams since they haven't faced top competition.
Do I believe UF has better players generally that Auburn? ... Yes.
But I also believe taking a new QB on the road for a vital SEC matchup is a dangerous, dangerous place to be for the Gators.
So I cannot wrap my head around betting the spread (UF =2.5) on this one ... taking the Under (-53.5) on this game instead. I suspect both teams are going to play ultra-conservative, especially in the first half ... and the team that has the ball last will win.
And I suspect both coaches are going to use their special teams strategically. UF has a decided advantage with their punter, and I believe AU has a slight advantage with PK.
UF is 0-6 on their last six SEC road games. I know "its different" .... but it's a trend .... a trend that continues with a night game at Jordan-Hare.
23-21 Tigers .... late FG

He definitely has a legit arm and can run too. He’ll throw some interceptions, but that’s just part of having a gunslinger at QB. Wish like hell we still had him!

Taking the under is a smart move here, in fact even looking at the last few UF/Auburn games.
2019: 24-13 UF
2011: 17-6 AU
2007: 20-17 AU
2005: 27-17 AU
2002: 30-23 UF
2001: 23-20 AU
2000: 38-7 UF
Some decent teams scattered in there and you would have won betting the under on every one.

I fully expect both defenses to sell out and stop the run, and make the QB beat them from the pocket.
Baugh is too good not to have a specific plan to stop him. Even still, he is good enough to break tackles and beat us even if when we do.
IMO from an Auburn perspective, the game will be won or lost by how our Safeties play.

Saw he has a 195 passer rating. I know they played FAU, then Campbell who is a bottom decile FCS team going 2-10 most years.. but I haven't even seen average QB play in Florida since 2020.
Is he legit or not?
The Barners defense is legit enough to let you know Saturday night. I'll get back.

Florida wins 38-21. Philo is the real deal, and although Gata gonna Gata and lose one (hard to believe that they have never had an undefeated season), it will not be this Saturday. I look for Florida to make playoffs. Sumrall is the real deal.

Wow. We've only played 7 times this century. And we're the closet SEC campus to Gainesville.

Do I think hes elite? No.
Do I think Florida would've won a couple more games last year with him and the OC? Absolutely.

He throws a shotput from what I've seen and there's no spin on that spiral.
The backup on the other hand looks like he can spin it very well in mop up duty.

Its not JHS but Philo played a lot @ Lane Stadium vs VT due to injury.
Does VT or Auburn have more conference home wins in their stadium in the past 3 years? Auburn is at 2.

I think the only thing that is safe to say is that everyone at Florida loves Faulkner's offense so far, but even with that it's a bit early to tell how good we will be until after this weekend. I won't believe we will win at Auburn until we actually do it. We've had great teams not get out of there with a W.

He's good, but he's no Faison Brandon in my opinion.
Posted on 9/17/26 at 12:22 pm to MackeyMkay
We will know a lot more about him and many other things later Saturday night
Posted on 9/17/26 at 12:32 pm to SpotCheckBilly
Billy, you've been deservedly harsh on auburn QBs the past several years .... what say you about Brown thus far?
He's got a few things to clean up ... but the potential is visible.

I don't think Jones is what people think he is but might be wrong. 2 passes to guys wide open covered by 3rd stringers in a spring game is his claim to fame at this point. He has not shown he is a natural under pressure - far from it but he is young.

with what he's done at Ga Tech and so far at Fla Faulkner is on the fast track for head coaching jobs assuming that's what he wants

We beat Southern Miss out for him, he was going there as HC before Sumrall somehow convinced him to be an OC one more time.
