bet the over on every game UF is involved in this year, if you partake
our secondary blows, though, it's true
quote:

Youre right. Missing Brown is what I see. May be alright but the QB is not a deep threat. He dinks it and let's them run.

It's been like five drives. Philo has been pushing the ball downfield all season, and Singleton is also a deep threat. I'm sure they'll take a shot at some point this game.
quote:

Florida cannot throw it down the field. They remind me of Mizzou last year, with Pribula at QB, and Hardy and Roberts at RB. Will get exposed as season goes on by QB play.

Yea this isn't true, like at all. :lol:
quote:

You kidding? There was no reason to go for that, so don't blame the refs.

It was a risky call from Sumrall/Faulkner for sure but I don't think the refs whistled the play dead before Baugh pushed the pile forward, so it's a weird call by the refs.
did they actually whistle the play dead before Baugh's push??
quote:

I thought Florida was back?

they're down by a TD with 10 minutes in the second quarter. :lol:

That was also a weird play where Mizzou snapped the ball off time and our secondary basically just let the WR run by them
wtf was that play? both teams acted like the play had been blown dead
the refs just let 40 seconds run off the clock after an incomplete pass for some reason

I think 8 is too low atp and 9 is a more realistic conservative estimate. Genuinely wouldn't be surprised by 11-1.

Yeah possibly. It's why I wanted to join here. They're okay with talking about being ranked 6th at the end of the season and making the CFP. I mean damn talk about an "overreaction" :lol:


Agreed, there's no way this team isn't at least Top 5 at the end of the season!
Dart completely melted down in that game. It's a miracle he mentally recovered from that experience
This is a weird question to ask given UF beat OM in the Swamp just two years ago
Faulkner liked Philo enough to bring him over from GT. And Philo doesn't need to do anything crazy to beat Auburn. I'm not saying we're going 10-2 or anything like that; Auburn is one of the worst teams on our SEC schedule.

We'll see. I don't think there's any reason for pessimism about the offense right now, but I understand that fans manage their expectations in different ways.
quote:

I'm not doubting the draft prospects. The talent gap argument was used last year against USF and look what happened.


Billy Napier happened.

I think Buster Faulkner is good. If he can't make the offense work against this AU defense with the weapons this offense has, my faith in Faulkner will take a bit of a hit.
quote:

I guess someone was impressed beating FAU and Campbell
:lol:

Go look at 27/28 draft boards. Everyone thinks Baugh, VBIII, and Wilson are studs. Has very little to do with FAU and Campbell, although they did look the part against those teams as well.

Of course, Philo is a question mark, but I trust Faulkner.

Oh, also, AU isn't that good, and we solidly have the more talented team. Yea, JHS is a tough place to play, and maybe Golesh is good, but I think there is a solid talent gap between this UF roster and this AU roster, and that has little to do with FAU and Campbell.

We very well could lose if we can't contain Brown's rushing ability and Philo turns the ball over a few times, but I'm not sure what the point of overselling AU or underselling our talent level is besides "I don't want to be hurt again."
Sure, but I'm not really sure what Auburn has shown to this point on defense to make one think that their pass rush will be able to completely dominate our O-Line.

Vegas has Baugh's rushing O/U at like 108.5, fwiw. He's the best RB we've had since Fred, and we have two NFL talents at WR to take the pressure off and a few other solid WR role players like Stockton and Abrams as a field stretcher.

Philo could collapse under the pressure; it's possible. I think it's more likely that we're fine and that our offense is able to move the ball pretty consistently. The D is a much bigger concern, but I'm not convinced that Auburn's O is any good.
They might be able to play 8 in the box for like one drive because their secondary would get absolutely torched if they try that all game.

VBIII and Wilson one-on-one against their mediocre secondary? Lights out.
I don't really care what Auburn wants. Baugh will get his.
quote:

So if Philo is supposed to be better than him, then I'm expecting 350 yards and 3 TDs. Like I said, we're expecting a lot from the kid.
That's a bit ridiculous. To be better than Lagway, Philo doesn't need to be ridiculously prolific; he needs to avoid braindead turnovers and stretches where he loses all touch or accuracy.

We have the horses to score on Auburn. We have, genuinely, top ten or better talent at the skill positions, as Baugh, VBIII, and Wilson are all studs who will hear their names called fairly early at the draft. Philo just needs to be a caretaker of the football.

Our offense might be good but it hasn't been tested yet. Baugh, VBIII, and Wilson are all 1st/2nd round draft talents. Philo has looked the part against inferior competition. With the talent around him, we don't need him to be elite; we just need him to be steady, get the ball in the hands of our playmakers, and avoid turnovers.

The defense, specifically the pass rush, is a big question mark right now.

It's a coin flip game at JHS. I think we have the marginally better team but you never know there. I'll say 31-27 UF for now.
