    The line has dropped to +4.5 . . . so basically a toss-up on a neutral field.

    I can't wait for kick-off!

    Depends on if Shemar and Kingsley can go. Center -QB exchange that important.

    A few with climbing experience, and one who I think lived out there, have said Utah's stadium is only around 4200' elevation and that's just a 2% loss of oxygen concentration. They said we should be fine except may tire later in the game. IDK.

    Yeah . . . I'll post the depth chart is a separate thread when it's released. Surprised Utah already released theirs.

    Texas AM stadium is 3200 feet above sea level. Never heard anybody complain about that.

    The Altitude won't be an issue, at all. And I hope we don't blame that if we lose.

    Utah has an excellent coach, and says this is his best team. He has a reputation as a straight shooter. Their QB situation could really hurt them, but we better be ready to play. They are a solid team. Who knows what we have this year?

    Same thing . . . just for those who have trouble with X . . .



    Lots of great material all Gators will want to hear. Some highlights for those who can't spend the 16:00 to listen right now:

    As we expected, they're preparing for Rising and other QBs.

    Specifically, regarding altitude, he has thoroughly researched it, spoken to NFL teams and everything says "stay on your routine" and "get in, get out."

    Coach Wittingham and his teams are ultimately more important than altitude.

    Year 2 means a core group of veterans that understand the processes, the structure, the routine. They also have a lot of new players. "Students learn material a second time but teachers teach it a second time." Were able to spend more time focusing on things that will affect the final outcome rather than addressing a long list of problems to solve.

    Not into fans' comparisons regarding speed of rebuilds. Much more about that starting around 8:00 . . .

    Your season ultimately unfolds a week at a time.

    Zanders just got back. Kingsley is still day-to-day but he likes the progress Kingsley is making.

    3% is what Roman Harper on SEC Network just said are our chances at Utah. Said he expects Utah to win big.

    When he talks it’s usually time for a bathroom break or checking other games. He’s the Alexei Lawless of the SECN.
