re: Concerns about the Florida game

I don't think anyone assumed going into the swamp was going to be the same as playing NT at home, but I think any rational college football fan and LSU fan understands that Florida's staring squad lines up well against everyone in the SEC. However, they don't have the 2 deep of LSU. It will be a game of attrition, but unless LSU makes mistakes, Florida won't win. Also, realize that Florida hasn't played any great defenses yet and they have still had to come from behind in their past 2 games. The best thing Florida has going for it is their coaching staff makes very good halftime adjustments.

Excellent half time adjustments so far by Florida.
What's worrisome is I think Florida has two weeks to prepare for us.... We play Towson so we should be doing a little "Florida work" for 2 weeks as well tho.... But Florida will be our toughest test to that point for sure

This.
Tennessee is still Tennessee. They did not impress me. I think Florida has played good games vs. teams of their own caliber, but Florida is not in the same class as LSU/Bama.
That being said, it is a big road game, and the Tigers will need to come out swinging in order to assert dominance.

Dude. Have you been paying attention? Our team has been decimated with academic issues, discipline issues, and injuries. We are not the same team we were a month ago. We're still very good but you don't lose eleven to fifteen players (depending on the injury status as of this writing) and not feel some effect.
Right now, I would say playing on the road, LSU and Florida are pretty close.

I'm going to disagree a little here. Florida is rotating a LOT of players on defense. I think you saw the effect of that in the second half of Tennessee (which is something we're used to seeing as LSU fans). Yes, so far Florida has made great adjustments at halftime in back-to-back games. But they are also wearing down the opposing lines.
So what intrigues me about the Florida game is this: for the past two seasons, I have felt very good in big games if we were close at halftime, even if too close for comfort, because I knew we were wearing the other team out. Frankly, I was disappointed to see USC go down because I was hoping to see us do that to them in Miami. With Florida, I don't think that recipe will work as well. Florida is a team we're going to have to beat straight up. I think we will, but this is going to be a tough, tough game.
