I think 8 is too low atp and 9 is a more realistic conservative estimate. Genuinely wouldn't be surprised by 11-1.

Yeah possibly. It's why I wanted to join here. They're okay with talking about being ranked 6th at the end of the season and making the CFP. I mean damn talk about an "overreaction" :lol:
Agreed, there's no way this team isn't at least Top 5 at the end of the season!

Dart completely melted down in that game. It's a miracle he mentally recovered from that experience

This is a weird question to ask given UF beat OM in the Swamp just two years ago

Faulkner liked Philo enough to bring him over from GT. And Philo doesn't need to do anything crazy to beat Auburn. I'm not saying we're going 10-2 or anything like that; Auburn is one of the worst teams on our SEC schedule.
We'll see. I don't think there's any reason for pessimism about the offense right now, but I understand that fans manage their expectations in different ways.

I'm not doubting the draft prospects. The talent gap argument was used last year against USF and look what happened.
Billy Napier happened.
I think Buster Faulkner is good. If he can't make the offense work against this AU defense with the weapons this offense has, my faith in Faulkner will take a bit of a hit.

I guess someone was impressed beating FAU and Campbell
Go look at 27/28 draft boards. Everyone thinks Baugh, VBIII, and Wilson are studs. Has very little to do with FAU and Campbell, although they did look the part against those teams as well.
Of course, Philo is a question mark, but I trust Faulkner.
Oh, also, AU isn't that good, and we solidly have the more talented team. Yea, JHS is a tough place to play, and maybe Golesh is good, but I think there is a solid talent gap between this UF roster and this AU roster, and that has little to do with FAU and Campbell.
We very well could lose if we can't contain Brown's rushing ability and Philo turns the ball over a few times, but I'm not sure what the point of overselling AU or underselling our talent level is besides "I don't want to be hurt again."

Sure, but I'm not really sure what Auburn has shown to this point on defense to make one think that their pass rush will be able to completely dominate our O-Line.
Vegas has Baugh's rushing O/U at like 108.5, fwiw. He's the best RB we've had since Fred, and we have two NFL talents at WR to take the pressure off and a few other solid WR role players like Stockton and Abrams as a field stretcher.
Philo could collapse under the pressure; it's possible. I think it's more likely that we're fine and that our offense is able to move the ball pretty consistently. The D is a much bigger concern, but I'm not convinced that Auburn's O is any good.

They might be able to play 8 in the box for like one drive because their secondary would get absolutely torched if they try that all game.
VBIII and Wilson one-on-one against their mediocre secondary? Lights out.

I don't really care what Auburn wants. Baugh will get his.

quote:That's a bit ridiculous. To be better than Lagway, Philo doesn't need to be ridiculously prolific; he needs to avoid braindead turnovers and stretches where he loses all touch or accuracy.
So if Philo is supposed to be better than him, then I'm expecting 350 yards and 3 TDs. Like I said, we're expecting a lot from the kid.
We have the horses to score on Auburn. We have, genuinely, top ten or better talent at the skill positions, as Baugh, VBIII, and Wilson are all studs who will hear their names called fairly early at the draft. Philo just needs to be a caretaker of the football.

Our offense might be good but it hasn't been tested yet. Baugh, VBIII, and Wilson are all 1st/2nd round draft talents. Philo has looked the part against inferior competition. With the talent around him, we don't need him to be elite; we just need him to be steady, get the ball in the hands of our playmakers, and avoid turnovers.
The defense, specifically the pass rush, is a big question mark right now.
It's a coin flip game at JHS. I think we have the marginally better team but you never know there. I'll say 31-27 UF for now.

I do not see that many points being scored in the Auburn-Florida game. Seems like a 20-17 game to me, one way or the other.

You could dissect any and all game film to say that the refs could've called a foul in certain situations but didn't. That's basketball. I would think UK fans would know this, but I guess UK fans aren't used to being outclassed physically.

I doubt the refs are blatantly missing a ton of real 7-second camp-outs. What's actually happening here is that most people (myself included tbh) don't pay attention to how the rule is called but are now because Oats drew attention to it, and are coming to the realization that refs are pretty lax about resetting the timer whenever a player briefly steps out of the lane.
If the NCAA wants to make the continuous wording of the rule a point of emphasis this off-season and thus call more 3-second violations, that'd be fine, but there are bigger rule issues in CBB right now. The fact that screeners are taught to push off now is a joke. As are the current block/charge rules (it's nearly impossible to draw a charge now). The complaining about camping out in the lane is mostly just sour grapes that we have Chinyelu and other teams don't.

The owner of that Twitter account is a moron whose read of the rules is just blatantly wrong btw
No, you do not have to establish two feet out of the lane to reset the 3-in-the-key timer, and no team gets it called that way

I do think if there's another second-weekend team besides UF in the SEC this year, it's most likely UK

Ok. If Chin and Condon are getting away with fouls consistently down low because of reputation, I don't give a shite. Cry about it.
