All I know is our DB's better cover that fade better than the AU DB's did. That was just hard to watch.
In AU's defense, I've seen that fade completed many many times this year with good coverage. Hell, one was double covered last week and still no go.

Anyone who thinks Arkansas will win is batshit crazy.

I assume you are referring to our defense.

I'm not sure but if Mallet plays well Arky will score more point on UF than anyone has in two years.
So Arky has a better O than OU did last year? Or even Bama? Really? REALLY?!
Come on now. Mallet is a solid QB... but come on.

I know people say last years stats are meaningless, but because Florida returned their entire two deep on defense, I think they actually have some merit.
That defense is legit.
That defense is legit.

...trust me they are legit.

Was this serious?
Are you implying that Bama has an offense comparable or greater than that of Arkansas?
Are you being serious? Really?
Arkansas has the #3 most difficult schedule in the nation, yet have still put up offensive numbers that place them at #15 nationally and #1 in the SEC.

Last year they faced Oklahoma, with one of the best offenses in the nation, putting up like 60 points in every game, and shut them down.

Everyone that isn't a moron recognized before the season that Arkansas would be better than their record to this point and everyone that isn't a moron now still realizes that that still holds true.

I was thinking regular season but when you get right down to it, how good was OU's O? In 08 Bama scored 20 OU scored 14 and LSU managed 21.
IMO if Mallet has a good game they'll score 21 or more on UF. Heck UT scored 13 on you this year and they only play 10 on offense.
Again I'm not saying Bama's D is better than UFs just than they are untested to this point.

If they score on those drives, Oklahoma wins that NC last year, but they were there own worst enemy.

I'm not putting Fla. defense down, they play sound ball, but they are not as good as some of you are making them out to be.

They were pretty impressive at the end of the year. No matter who they played they would hang 60 points on them. Granted it was against some poor defensive teams, but watching them dominate in that fashion was somewhat impressive.

They may have been the 3rd or 4th best team in the SEC last year.

They were a top 5 defense in most aspects last year and held one of the nations most vaunted offenses to 14 points and 363 yards in their final game. You bring up turnovers; Oklahoma had two interceptions as did Florida. You bring up being a team's own worst enemy, Florida tripled Oklahoma in terms of penalty yardage. The stats would say Florida's defense performed fairly well.
...are you serious?

Bradford, moved the ball on Fla. at will in the second half, if he doesn't throw those crazy pics when they were in Fla. redzone and about to score, the momentum swings over Oklahoma. I think they also had a fumble down in Fla. redzone also, you just cannot do that in a big game like that.

UF had some turnovers like you mentioned, but they weren't as critical as Oklahoma's turnovers.

I expected that response, as I do whenever stats are a detriment to ones argument. I watched the game, and Bradford made some plays like a Heisman winner surrounded by immense offensive talent will make. However, Florida's defense did a good job of limiting him on the whole.
I'd also like to go on the record for saying that you are playing the Oklahoma turnovers off and not giving any credit to Florida for forcing those turnovers.

That interception was caused by QB pressure which caused an slightly overthrown ball which was caught by the Florida defender who was in good position to make the grab. Please excuse the silliness at the end, it was the best video I could find on youtube.

Now that's a crazy interception, but I do give some credit for the alertness of physicality needed to get that grab. Please excuse the extremely poor quality of that video; once again it's the best I can find.

Both pics shouldn't have been thrown is my point, it was a case of Bradford trying to force something for Oklahoma when he didn't have to, he threw the damn ball 2 times into tight coverage when he could have just thrown it away.
The first pick you are talkin about, did you really watch it? it was thrown into tight coverage like I said, but the Fla. DB made a great play by taking it out of the Oklahoma receivers hands.
we can go on and on about this, but all I'm sayin is that Fla. D is not impenetrable, they have flaws. Jefferson was just a young QB, they knew that and so they went after him.

They have less flaws than any other defense in the nation, IMHO.
Forcing turnovers is one aspect of the game, and while they "shouldn't" have happened, they did and Florida's defense made them happen.
Just because they were thrown in critical situations does not make the defensive stands any less impressive. In fact, I'd say the defense deserves accolades for holding them that far and forcing them into that critical situation near the end of the game.
It was a forced turnover. Pressure caused the off throw, coverage was good, ball was intercepted by an athletic play from Black. Do you not see why they deserve credit for that interception? Maybe Bradford was forcing the play and that's on him, but that doesn't take anything away from Florida.

dude, you are just a Fla. fan, I guess, and I don't understand that with you flying the Auburn banner around, but that's cool. 
I will tell you this, if LSU had a experienced good QB like Jake Locker or Colt McCoy with all the weapons we have, then you would really see how good Fla. D is.
