I'm not sure why so many are predicting a loss to Florida. I just don't see it. I know the game is in Florida, but they have a new coaching staff too, and honestly I don't see anything that makes them seem better than LSU.

It’s hard to know what we will be capable of in a tough SEC road environment this year with so many transfers and new faces and that’s the first major test. I think LSU has a talent advantage, but that game could still be a tossup. Plus I’m sure they will be very motivated by two embarrassing losses to us in a row. The good thing is that we will have a lot of opportunity to get things tightened up before that game.

I think UT is a tougher opponent for us since they are a year ahead on the rebuilding curve and have a difficult offense to contain if you aren’t 100% locked in. That one being at home helps, but I went back and forth between this and the UF game. If home and away were swapped, this would be a no brainer. The way they set up makes them harder to predict.
