re: UK LB JJ Weaver: AR won’t be able to use his legs because we gameplan

UF will have to pass the ball to win. No way they run for 280 against that UK front 7.

You know, as much as I get frustrated at the Mark Stoops style of defense ... this is the type of game where it makes sense. Soft coverage, LBs in a flat zone and eyes forward from a tight to the line read, minimal pressure. AR-15 will have to make consistent throws, as you say. And I think he will, in spots. But not all game.

If Kentucky had a back on the roster that could run through contact, I'd give them a chance. But they do not. I expect a close game at half, and FLA to stretch it to two scores at the end. Very impressed with Napier. He'll keep it simple and go with what works. That's a good thing.
