We may have very well faced the two best teams in college football in a young rebuilding season.

This UF team has been opportunistic on D and deplorable on O.

Great measuring stick this week to see how we stack up against a very similar opponent in a very similar state in its program.

I expect a tight game, I think it comes down to taking care of the ball and field position. I don't expect to see much of Harris unless we have field position and we are behind.

Coaching usually is the difference in games like these

I think our 2 SEC games have been very telling.

We will learn nothing good today.

We win, all it tells us is just how bad things are at UF.

We lose…well, we already know how bad LSU is.

Don't let the haters deter you, I agree. We're having a down year...it happens. Be thankful it rarely happens to us and over the last 10+ years we always bounce back.

Auburn and Moo St are really good this year, just like we pounded them some season when we were good. Today's game could go a long way in building confidence in this team, especially the young guys getting their first SEC win in the Swamp.

I agree wt the OP. If we can't win this game, the rest of the season looks pretty bleak.

I may be deemed a sunshine pumper here, but I totally agree. This is a big game whether you think we suck or not. We win today, then most likely beat Kentucky next week, all of the sudden we are 6-2 (2-2 SEC) and have a possible undefeated top 5 ranked Ole Miss team at home with revenge on our minds from last year. Tiger Stadium will be rocking that day if that is the case, and it may be the perfect time for Ole Miss' inevitable and patented collapse to end the season.

I think if we win today we have a 50/50 chance of finishing the season with 3-4 losses, which really isn't as bad as everyone wants to make it out to be, especially with how strong the West is this year. We lost 3 games last year with a much more experienced team.

Now if we lose today............the dumpster fire begins.

who knows with a team that is young and inexperienced at key positions?

imo, one single game is never a harbinger of the future with a team such as this. if it is, then we saw enough against msu and auburn.

I believe that if the team remains focused there will be spurts of improvement throughout the year.

I think the only thing it will tell is if Miles is capable of change.

If we use the same game plan that we did against MSU/Auburn, expect the same results.

I'll certainly be rooting for LSU but I'm not real hopeful Miles can go a different direction in coaching tactics.

This team may not have the talent to be a top ten contender this year but I think with proper coaching they can at least be competitive.

No where close to being in a similar state. Come on man we are just a young team Florida has been shite for 4 years.

I predict a huge game from Adams. UF was his 2nd choice with Joker Phillips being his godfather. I expect him to bring it tonight.

we can win this game....they are in as much disarray as we are, but we have better talent.

it really won't tell us what we don't already know......we will be competitive with against another bad team.
