Strange, I was hoping all offseason we would run more 4-3. Now I find myself wanting to play 4-2-5 exclusively.

If we had a healthy Kirkland I would agree. Bituli/Kirkland/McDowell or Sapp would be very nice trio in the 4-3 imo

Bituli is about to/continue to wreck shop imnsho.

B. Hubbs spoke with Shoop and had this to say about the first two games and not giving anything away defensively before the game with UF:

quote:

---

“The first two were unorthodox. Georgia Tech certainly requires you to play a specific set of calls and a team like Indiana State was the same way. In many ways, Indiana State was as integral of an offense as Georgia Tech. It was a great opportunity for us because LSU runs a similar style of offense.

“We felt it was our best plan just to keep it simple and play a couple of defenses. The guys executed them a fairly high level. We came out healthy and we didn't show a significant amount to our upcoming opponents.”

Also, Byrd, Smith, and L. Williams are all back and will play Saturday.

Shoop needs for this defense to come out and shut down UF.

Here's a UT breakdown from UF's Rival's guy, Luke Stampini:

Gators need to contain RB John Kelly. I suspect he will get plenty of carries on Saturday. UT probably needs to go to him over 20 times. He's a solid back, capable of chewing up yards, but keeping him in check will go a long way in getting a win for UF. Me personally, I think UT should give RB Ty Chandler more touches somehow. He looks to be UT's most explosive player -- home run hitter. You saw that on the opening kickoff vs. Indiana State. However, they have leaned on Kelly entirely on the ground. UF should be happy if Chandler hardly touches the ball. UF needs first half vs. GaTech QB Quinten Dormady. He was forcing throws into coverage, but 2nd half he looked pretty good. He seems to throw a nice ball and capable of being a very effective passer. UF needs to get pressure on him. WR Marquez Callaway looks like he could be a problem. He's made some big plays for UT this year. 6'2" target and probably UT's most dangerous weapon outside. The rest of the WR corps looks fairly average for the SEC. LB Daniel Bituli looks to be very active. He has the speed to make plays sideline to sideline. I liked what I saw from him. DE Darrell Taylor also flashed. He's explosive off the LOS, which allows him to be very disruptive at times. Florida's tackles will need to step up their play to neutralize him. All I could think about with the rest of the DL was "some of these had have not lived up to their lofty recruiting rankings yet." (McKenzie, Phillips, Kongbo). DT Shy Tuttle has flashed in the past, but he's coming back from a knee injury and only played a few snaps vs. ISU. Is he still trying to get back to full strength? Were they saving him for UF? I'm not sure what to think of UT's secondary. They looked lost at times vs. GaTech, but that might be more of a product of facing such a run heavy team and being caught off guard a bit. Then ISU (or GaTech) hardly threw the ball.

I'd say it's a fair assesment. I think he's undervaluing our WR corp a little bit, but I understand the sentiment as most of these guys are just now getting their time to shine. My body is ready

I'm confident that the boys in orange and white will pull out a win in the swamp. I can't explain why, but I feel better about it this year than years past.

There is absolutely no reason to do anything tomorrow but pound, pound, pound and pound the rock some more

Take as much pressure off Damnady as possible while limiting turnovers

Let kell/Chandler/CFA EAT

Men, on the way home from work, I went and did it. I listened to Fulmer's pre game Gators speech from 2001 and nearly put my truck in a ditch on I75 due to the sheer amount of froth.

VOLS are going to whip their fricking asses tomorrow

frick ALL THAT TALKING LETS DO IT

We gonna whoop they fricking arse

V, B

Even I thought Lyle couldn't frick this one up. Two of the worse coaches in the league and Butch shows why he is at the bottom.
