Here is my view on this game as a Florida fan. The last 2 weeks has really been draining. In all my years of watching Florida football I cant remember the offense looking so good in 2 SEC games and then crashing this bad in the next 2 SEC games. I am thinking now it was just smoke and mirrors considering how bad our tackles etc look now. The defense has looked pretty bad the whole season. This is my take on this game.
Looking at this game some more I expect the players to come out and at least put more effort out there but the problem with that is TX is coming off a loss and got beat by us last season so that probably wont be an advantage for us.
The TX offense actually looks very pedestrian except for one game against a G6 conference Texas State. The issue with this is we seem to have an ability in recent years to make struggling QBs and offenses look pretty damn good compared to their previous games and our passing defense looks so bad I think Coleman and Wingo might get pretty wide open down the field quite a few times this game. Wingo was wide open deep a few times in last year's game but Manning didnt see him quick enough and the pressure got to him.
As far as the TX defense They look pretty stout overall and especially against the run. We all know Muschamp's thing is to always stop the run first. They have mostly bottled up the mobile QBs they have faced also this season not allowing many scrambles for a first down. If we dont get a running game or a ball control passing game going Simmons is going to be a huge issue with our tackles just like the edge at SC was. I dont see Ugorji holding up whatsoever against Simmons.
Just being realistic If Brown doesn't play its hard to see us getting a win in this game despite TX looking pedestrian on offense this season. I just dont think there will be any big surprise comeback in the rushing game as I think Muschamp will make it priority # 1 that Baugh doesnt get going. Maybe with Brown we could get some kind of passing game going to give us a chance but without Brown playing I think that happening good enough to give us a chance in this game would literally be like a fairytale coming true tomorrow.

Good summary. If I were a UF fan, I would have preferred UT beating OU last week. Not for ranking purposes, but the mindset. A true 'backs against the wall' game for UT at home, and they have one of if not the top defense in the nation. As disappointing as UTs offense is, I think average is all they need to win, provided Manning doesn't brain cramp again.

Depends on if the Florida QB turns the ball over.
Philo injured?

Texas wins pretty easily (10+)

Philo is a game time decision I think. There is a good chance Jones might start instead. If Brown is out I doubt it matters who is back there for us.

This UF defense is historically bad. Utrans by 3 scores.

The Florida secondary would be middle of the pack in the Sun Belt conference. It's pitiful. I hope it's even worse next year and the year after that.

Missouri isn't very good and so is Florida.

Texas wins, Arch still manages to throw two picks against the worst secondary he'll face this year.

Texas wins 17-12 and the only thing that hurts is everyone’s eyes from watching

Run the ball and play good defense.
As with Oklahoma, that’s the formula.
Texas would feast on turnovers and special teams errors.
If not, anybody’s guess.

Florida has shocked me 3 weeks in a row. So I'm going to pick Texas covers easily and hope to get shocked again.
And also because your defense is bad and Texas has a good one.

TX by a mile.
Hope I'm wrong.
Not often I pull for the Gators.
