Florida is always a tough game in the Swamp and some people will begin looking towards Ole Miss. I think we beat them, but it will be a closer game then some think.

Our talent and the law of averages will lead to wins over Arky and Bama, it is time. We will beat Ole Miss in Tiger Stadium. Hard to go undefeated, so I suppose the pundits are looking for the one loss we might get.

Florida has the talent to compete. They recruit consistently in the top 10 if not top 5.
And the swamp is always rough.

Arkansas recruits second to last in the SEC west. They beat us when they have
a veteran team (think MS State 2014)
a once in a generation player(s)
a beat up LSU team coming off a loss to bama.

They'll have none of those things this year.
Florida is the game to circle (outside of Bama).

Wiki Leaks just released hacked emails from Les Mile’s confirming the entire playbook for the 2016 season.

UF has a better coach, better players, better facilities


Actually, Arkansas has better facilities. BHG may be bigger, but Arkansas' RRS is nicer, has more suites and club seats, and is generally better overall. After RRS is expanded, the Razorbacks will have a stadium that has the most suites and club seats combined. RRS already has more club seats than anyone, and is third in suites behind BDS and Tiger Stadium.

One thing Arkansas does very well is facilities.

But we play Arkansas after Bama. It makes a difference.

Pretty sure we didn't beat auburn and UF on the road in 92. shite, I'm not sure we won 2 conference games.

Florida was the popular pick to beat LSU in the summer before 2012 when they were coming off a lackluster season.. And they did beat LSU.

LSU hasn't beaten BOTH Auburn and Florida on the road since 1992


You got your years wrong. We won only 2 games in 1992 in the worst season we had in the modern era. We beat Tulane and Miss Stat that year.

Regardless, UF is at the Swamp and at the end of a three game SEC swing. Could end up like 2012 when they beat us by seven. I am going to the game btw!

We always struggle there if recall last several games (especially in daytime as mentioned)! Was at the 2010 game we pulled out in last 6 secs! I think we get it done though!

We are playing in the swamp and it's always a close game.

Probably because they are supposed to have a really good defense

Florida makes more sense than Arkansas, imo. Both are road games, and Florida is a much better program than Arkansas.


You probably thought that the last time we played there when we got blanked 17-0 (or last year at home when they beat us again by 17). We have rarely played well at Arkansas. They're 3-1 against us in our last 4 games in Arkansas and we are 3-5 against them since 2000 when playing in Arkansas. Their coach builds his teams to play really physical like we do, so they match up better against us now.

The Swamp is always a challenge, but UF got worse as the year went on last year. They benefited from a really weak SEC East. They desperately need a QB.

In 1992, LSU lost to both Auburn and Florida. LSU went 2-9
