This is an intersting thread. The Gators are giving lots of respect to the Tigers and Charles Scott.

Many of them are confident, which is to be expected. Personally, I've got loads of respect for this year's Florida team. Our game with them will be a Clash of the Titans.

Too soon for me to make a prediction. I'll wait to see if Lee continues to mature, and if our defense can gel and learn to not over-pursue.

Gotta agree. Lee is showing flashes in one half of one game, I wanna see more.

I chalked it up as a loss, but if we blitz like Michigan did against that spread, I think we can win.

Young secondary or not we have to. Tebow went 8-15 against Tennessee the other night and 17-33 against Michigan. Yes they have speed at WR and they may burn us a time or two but he will have one hell of a time trying to throw it with pressure coming.

I agree, but I was enjoying the discussion over there. Life is good when you win!

Faster =/= better...especially on D. WAY more about discipline.

Florida has scored 112 points and given up 19. We've played 1 cupcake, 1 good defensive team and one respectable SEC team on the road.

I like our skill position comparisons. If our big uglies on the Oline bring an attitude and our D flies to the ball and gang tackles, our special teams could be the difference.

Most fans don't fully grasp how young we really are. I hope some of our youngsters have gotten used to SEC play by October 11th.

If we don't beat Ole Miss and Arkansas the "W" won't look nearly as large.

LSUFAN's response
Rather than get into a pissing match with you on who is the better team I'd rather just point out a few facts about your 'who played who' thus far comparison. Fact is one of the so called "cupcakes" LSU played this year beat a team last year that I'm pretty sure dominated a certain SEC team in a bowl game last year. Another thing, Auburn and Tennessee are both respectable SEC teams so that comparison is a wash. Miami? Hahaha. Ok, so lets just say we both played two cup cakes and one respectable SEC team. Now to the "W's", LSU has 3 and Florida 3, until this game is played comparisons and who played who really doesn't mean anything.

I feel LSU and Florida are the best two teams in the country. We'll find out which one is the best Octorber 11th. At this point in the season only home field gives the Gators a slight advantage

I think most of us Gator fans respect LSU because you've earned our respect. You have a hell of a program and you've won national titles, not to mention beaten us quite a bit recently.

Unlike the Dawgs who have accomplished nothing and continue to run their mouths as if they have. They win one game against us last year and they immediately forgot that we've owned them for nearly 20 years.

Anyway, looking forward to our game in the Swamp. Good luck in all your other games.

Found this in the thread...the name is catching on.

We will attain victory in the swamp this year. Then we can sing, it sucks to be a Florida Gaytor.

ummm, I don't agree with this..

Miami is loading up with talent again, and LSU could win a MNC with their QB Marve...kid is very good..

They played UF tight, very tight for 3 full QTRS..once play sort of opened up the game...

Miami is not a cupcake, and how they are not ranked in the top 25 is surprising to me..

UNC on the rise too and the play each other this weekend in Miami

On the rise and there are two different things. Miami is a good looking team but they aren't top 25 yet. That game should have been closer though, Miami played them tight then just fell the hell apart and played like they didn't care toward the end.

In their place, I would be scared of LSU too. I think they will beat us but not without a fight.

But that's what I thought about Auburn as well.

If you go down to the Swamp, wear a cup and keep your emotions in check. Their fanbase is littered with douchebags and tools just looking for a fight.

This is the one game that I think LSU will have to outscore a team, regardless of our great defense. UF's offense is just too varied & loaded at every position with speed. However, by that time, our offense should be a lot better, and with decent QB play, our skill players match up across the board, our offensive line better.
