Pre-Game Discussion: Arkansas at FLORIDA

Would love it if Boardingham absolutely takes over this game.

 

Why do we keep looking at the stats after a loss and say we should have run the ball more?

 

Is the RT position an open competition week to week?

 

The game will pit strength vs strength and weakness vs weakness. Will Arkansas' interim OC be a wildcard that gives them an advantage?

• UF's 5th in the SEC offense vs Arkansas 5th in the SEC defense.
• UF's 10th in the SEC defense vs Arkansas 11th in the SEC offense.

Predicted Points Added (PPA/EPA)
Arkansas
Offense: 0.174
Defense: 0.108

Florida
Offense: 0.277
Defense: 0.210

 

Arkansas might look good all of the sudden... See South Carolina.

 

I have a sense that ETN will have his best game of the year so far on Saturday.

 

It really is strange that Arkansas can play Alabama within 3 and LSU within 3, but then turn around and lose close games to much worse BYU and Mississippi State teams. It's like no matter the level of competition they just hang around and end up not quite doing enough to win.

 

We can't rush the passer therefore Jefferson might look like Tom Brady. Any QB if given enough time can look great.

 

As opposed to looking at stats after a win?

Georgia has the so called #1 overall Defense in the SEC.

When it did not implode, Florida's offense performed pretty well at times against Georgia. I thought that it was interesting to mention how the running game had some explosive runs in that game. That will bode well in these upcoming games.

If not for the turnovers on offense & special teams, the game might have been more competitive. Maybe running the ball a little bit more (i.e, a draw play) might have 'protected' the offense/offensive line from having that critical turnover during a passing play.

Georgia was also #4 in Total Offense. So, Florida's defense could not make enough plays to give the Gators a chance in that game, either. Florida still has to face the following teams' scoring-offenses:
LSU (47.4, #1)
Florida St (41.5, #5)
Georgia (40.5, #7)
Missouri (33.9)
:
Arkansas (26.5)

 

Has anyone mentioned that this is a must win game?

 

Awesome, hope we show up in big numbers.
Super excited about this game. I bet we bounce back big time. Could be a major springboard to end our season.

 

Wow!!! Gonna be a tough one.

 

Ha- I get you about superstitions. We win in black we stay in black.

 

Their new OC has never called a game. Will be interesting.

I hope BN calls first dibs on Pittman if he gets canned.

 

This one is about whether Arkansas under siege gets it together (coach fired, players only meeting?) and whether Florida has the leadership to bring the A game when so many teams in similar situations would bring the C game.

 

Don't forget the Swamp !!

Could someone make sure the coaches are only allowed to watch Arky/Alabama film. If they watch Arky/Miss St tape they might just take the week off.

 

Well the cowbells only gave up 3 pts to the hogs so I'd say we might want to watch a bit of what MSU did.
