Motivation from a great recruiter -Dan Mullen: Tennessee: “They’re improved defensively to shut Florida down. I think Utah showed it. If you can stop the run game at Florida, make them one dimensional, really shut the run game down, they are not going to be very good on offense.”
“The Tennessee offense that finished 10th last season nationally with an explosive pass rate of 20.1% currently ranks 99th with a rate of 12.1%, this after playing Virginia & Austin Peay.”
Their players are hearing a lot of noise those week. Will they take it personal and step it up or be searching for confidence? The Swamp should make a difference. But man I'd like to see our guys show a level of anger that reflects that chip on the shoulder we've been hearing about. Make a statement stomping.
OK, fair is fair. I like Josh better when he's not going out of his way to dump on UF. And when he's dumping on UT, I actually start feeling a fanboy vibe, which I find disconcerting.
This was sent to me (I'd never go to their pathetic message board): Don't let this happen. Spread it among all Gators you know.
They are truly special... but not in a good way. It's almost unfair that they make it so easy to ridicule their ignorant garbage.
Florida -- More perimeter playmaking: “Say what you will about Graham Mertz, who was an uninspiring quarterback pickup for the Gators from Wisconsin, but he's been fine through two games. The bigger concern is the absence of a playmaking wide receiver outside of Ricky Pearsall. With 14 receptions for 215 yards, Pearsall is the Gators' top receiver and it's not even close. You have to combine the team's next four pass-catchers to equal Pearsall's yardage total. Speedy freshman Eugene Wilson III has show some flashes with six grabs, but five of them have come at or behind the line of scrimmage. To succeed in the SEC, the Gators must facilitate more perimeter playmaking for players other than Pearsall.”
