Pre-Game Discussion: UcheaT at FLORIDA

They lost their OC, Golesh, to USF. From what I understand he was quite instrumental with installing and running that 5WR/up tempo offense last year. Joey Halzle is the new OC, with just grunt assistant work. Now they've made him OC, but it appears to be one of those rare transitions that's simply not working. Milton is no Hooker, though my favorite Milton memory is the Ole Miss game where 0:03 is on the clock and it's maybe 3rd and goal. He runs around and finds no receiver, so he merely steps out of bounds with the ball to avoid a sack. GAME OVER. He had "no idea" the game clock ran out.

That's what we are dealing with here. Virginia game there were tons of missed opportunities, and I figured being a 62 point favorite over the perennial powerhouse of Austin Peay; the Vols would unload. Instead it's 13-6 at halftime and loads of lazy Vol defense.

FUN FACT THAT MAY ONLY INTEREST ME: Vol QB Joe Milton currently has the nation's longest completion streak without an INT.

Sounds like something is due, eh?

 

Raining a little here right now. Gotta like that for the Gators.

 

Showers tomorrow, 80 at kickoff.

 

BVD

 

Hope he is doing well. He listed 3 points. He may not be too off base on one of them!

 

Didn’t like the article @ETGator. Basically said we wouldn’t play defense like UVA and may give up big plays. Uh…UVA lost the game. Also predicted us to lose 31-21 lol

 

Such a great Gator!

 

Not sure why people think the Vols have better talent than us. I think it’s close, but we have the talent edge. What they do have is 3 years in the system to our 2.

 

A class act if ever there were one. I wish everyone represented UF the way KC always has. An all-time great/favorite. GG! BEAT TENNESSEE

 

That's just Will being Will. His reliance on "proprietary stats" and seeming inflexibility in accounting for outside factors are troubling issues in some of the conclusions he draws. I particularly dislike the knee-jerk negativity that he wears like a red badge of honor on occasion. The "jaded bean-counter getting tangled up in his own intellectual underwear schtick" gets old after a while. Even his podcast partner clearly gets irked with the excessive reliance on "data" to the exclusion of real-world, situational factors. I stopped watching him some time ago because I knew what to expect anyway. You could say that I was not entertained.

 

It's time...

 

They are playing a lot of young kids in secondary. Getting experience and will come along slowly.

 

Mertz has been really solid so far this year. So much for the doom and gloomers.
