I read two UM boards and I see predictions like 31-14 UM or 27-10

That's CRAZY to me.

You don't beat by 2 scores perhaps the best SECe team when you return only 5 starters

Florida more experienced than UM at 80% of positions on field

This will either be a close Game or UF runs away with it, like 42-17

Experience matters A LOT

MI might be banking on FL 8 suspensions and questionable QB. Never know.

Malik Zaire is not a questionable QB

He was very good at ND

Every team in the country does.

That doesn't mean they don't have serious questions to answer themselves.

Unsettled at QB. Replacing 9 out of 11 starters on defense and they haven't finished higher than 112th out of 128 teams in total offense since McElwain arrived in Gainesville. Their best play maker (Callaway) will be sidelined and not playing among other points.

If Zaire walks into Florida and is instantly named their starter, Florida is in even worse shape than I thought.

How many plays are they gonna run with a transfer at QB? Five?

Your reverse jinx has no effect, mister.

You REALLY need to show us on the doll where UF touched you. Are you still rustled by 2009 or something?

Florida hasn't fielded an offense in like 6 years. Never expect them to score more than like 14 against a team with a pulse.

I'm not rustled by Florida, man. I just don't think they're gonna be any good, OK? It's okay that we have differing opinions, man.

We have plenty of experience on offense everywhere but QB. If the QB (whoever it ends up being) shites the bed, it won't matter.

Great athletes on both teams. It's a matter of which coach can put the pieces together the best and quickest.

I disagree in us blowing you out. Too many are focused on two years ago, and not this year. Vegas has this line close despite Florida losing EIGHT players to suspensions. That tells you what you need to know. The mass went Michigan, big money on Florida. This game will be very close, though if there is a blow out, it would be Michigan doing it. Mac has to prove himself in big games at this point. Talent wise Michigan has more blue chips(can't believe I am saying this), but UF has talent and more experience. This game should be fun, but probably pretty ugly. To many new pieces in place to have a game like FSU and Bama will have.

Florida - 21
Michigan - 20

I'm a Gator..can't go against my team after all :P

The questions is, is he the starter? McElwain hasn't named one yet.

I would bet 95 percent Zaire isn't the starter.

Franks is the clear favorite, just from all the evidence in practice and scrimmages that he has the most skill.

Zaire is struggling with the playbook.

Del Rio has the most knowledge of the offense, but the least physical tools.

I think Zaire plays as an option QB. Franks starts the game. I pray Del Rio is on the sideline with a headset commanding for Doug in a headset or we are in trouble.

To be fair. HE was doing well until injury, and the guy who replaced him is about to start in the NFl as a rookie. He isn't bad(ask LSU). Just not elite.

My point was like you already said...A person should HOPE that Florida's offense is sufficiently complicated enough that a transfer can't walk in and be the starter on day one. If that's the case, the offense isn't very good at all.
