Predict the Score: Las Vegas Bowl - Florida vs. (14) Oregon State, Saturday Dec. 17, 2:30pm on ESPN

With as many guys transferring out and sitting out, we may have a couple of guys playing both ways. I think the Beavers chew up the Gators, something like 41-17.

 

If Richardson stays:
37/27 Gators

If Richardson Goes:
30/27 Gators

We beat their conference champ. They did beat Oregon.

Key play: due to a depleted roster, the Gators rely upon the head Gator cheerleader. "Shoot, yeah, I'm used to catching girls flying through the air doing summersaults and stuff, heck catching a football will be a cinch."

Go Gators.

 

Well, here goes:
UF - 37
OSU - 27

 

If the team that beat Utah and beat usce shows up:34 21 Gators.

If that "other team" shows up: 41 17 beavers
It has been that kind of season.

 

Are we getting flexed down to an 11:30 AM PT kickoff?

The #Raiders-#Patriots game on Week 15 in Las Vegas will be flexed out of Sunday Night Football and be played at 4:05 PM, per
@scottzolak

GATORZONE: *If the Raiders game is flexed to an earlier time – leaving a shorter window to prepare Allegiant Stadium for the NFL game, the Las Vegas Bowl will move to an earlier kickoff at 2:30 p.m. ET / 11:30 a.m. PT on ESPN.

 

48 - 24 Beavers

 

Hopefully we keep our scoring streak alive. But, it is in question.

 

CBN prior to the game

 

We win, no doubt. Identity. Run The Ball.

 

It is going to look like the 2020 game against Oklahoma.

 

At this time it appears that AR will be a no show for the bowl game. Also we do not have a QB who has played one down with the this team in the 2022 season.
Basically we are on a wing and a pray on the passing game. Hopefully we are on a well placed hand off to a running back against an overload box by the opposing defense. In other words we are screwed.

 

Unfortunately, I agree with you.

 

Run the ball with a stacked box against the run?
Please note that for the Gator 2022 season, the now gone Gator first and second string QB's are now gone. Both of these QB's accounted for almost 100% of the QB plays this season.
The Oregon Defense will have a field day with the sacrificial virgin that Billy Napier will offer up the bowl 3rd and 4th string QB's. These guys did not get enough practice reps with the team in both the running and the passing game..
The Gators now have to depend on two QB's. Jack Miller, an Ohio State transfer who had thumb surgery in August, and walk-on Kyle Engel. "Miller threw eight passes for the Buckeyes. Engel, a four-year member of Florida’s program, made a brief appearance in the Gators’ 38-6 win over South Carolina this season. This game has ugly printed all over it.

 

UF 13
OSU 48

 

The key will be running the ball often. Etienne is a homerun threat whenever he touches the ball. Johnson tends to get those tough yards and seems to be the power back. Etienne is no slouch in that dept as well. We should be ok at WR. Whomever the QB is will need to make smart decisions out there and not throw into double coverage. If it were me I would try to get my QB in rhythm. Nickle and dime them to death and eat up clock. With our atrocious defense that would be the way I’d go. I am hoping Jack Miller is over his injury because he can be that game manager we will need moving forward. If it’s Max Brown then so be it but that wouldn’t change my game plan. Just throw slants, hitch routes, screens, curls. Once the defense plays closer to the line then go over the top like Sylvester Stallone.

 

Gators 38-27

 

Us 24
Them 34

 

Sure wish the transitive property worked in football. But you're the most positive poster on the board, and I applaud that...

 

No, it won’t. Our QB showed up for that one, gave 100% just like he did all season, even though he was ready for the NFL. None of those characteristics fit this scenario.
