    As 26.5 point favs the Gators in their home opening are going to feast.

    Honestly, this should be a 63-7 type game. Tarleton, I repeat, TARLETON... Hung 52 on McNeese St. That being said, it will be a different game because we should be ahead early and put the game away early.

    So, my prediction is 51-6.

    Side prediction: Even though we dominate the whole game, the Nellies will still bitch about not scoring as many points as TARLETON (whoever that is...).

    Yeah, but McNeese has film on us now, so look out. They know if they do a DLine shift when we have 3rd and 1, our whole right side OL will jump. Trap game before TN! :)

  7. Sarcastic prediction: 70-52, just like Florida vs Samford in 2021.

    Realistic prediction: 48-17.

    Keys to the game:
    • Do the opposite of whatever they did against Utah

    • Run. The. Ball. Seriously. Mix up the zone blocking with a power run game and plenty of screens.

    • Get the plays in more quickly.

    Predictions for non-Gator games I will be watching:
    • Alabama 36, Texas 32

    • ⁠Air Force 42, Sam Houston 14

    Seriously 49 to 3. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was 70 to nothing. I would definitely take the over.

    Gators- A LOT
    McNeese State- very little

    Seriously though if we don't beat this team by 45+ points then we have a serious problem!

    I predict that we win with a score of 65-6.

    The Gators should have their way all day with the Cowboys! I want the starters to come in and start fast. Then give way to the backups and see them play clean & inspired football. The O-Line communicate more and dominate the line of scrimmage. We should absolutely maul their defensive line all game! The same goes for our defensive line. We need to stay healthy and get ready to smack Tennessee! Go Gators!

    I don’t think we figure everything out, and there will still be some worts offensively, but I do think we play with our hair on fire defensively.

    45-3

    Gators win 41-17. The snowflakes will melt, while the stoics will abide. Same as it ever was. No injuries please.

    I’m cautious as I believe Samford hung more points on us than anyone else on their schedule. Plus, I’m not yet completely sold on the defense being miles ahead of where it was last year.

    45-21

    Hard to score too many points because our offense is too deliberate and in the second half we will have the 2nd and 3rd teams in. 45-10. Just win and get nobody hurt, the actual final score is meaningless.
