    Against less superior defenses.

    I live in a very rural area, about 50 miles East of Asheville. After I retired I had enough of living in a very liberal city! Thanks to Elon Musk, I now can better watch the Gator games.

    Just play hard, be tough, think (especially the coaches) be smart and play to your instincts.

    The PAC 12 is inferior to the SEC?

    The mental aspect of players has been an enormous problem, eh? Yes, at times, you wonder if BN was really distracted, because he has made some critical errors at inopportune times! And, we still need an ST coach!!!

    True enough, but he put up exceptional numbers with not-so-good quarterbacks! And, he played exceptionally well in high school, continuing to play at a high level in college. Many are predicting Badger will be a star for us! I'm hoping both he and Wilson reek havoc on defenses in 2024!!!

    We don’t need a guy with a title, just someone who has that responsibility and gets the job done.

    This will be BNs 3rd year, the majority of players are his. It now comes down to developing and coaching. I'm hoping for the best.

    Interestingly the UT, Sports talk "J" Podcast referenced a preseason top 20.
    Regrettably, I can't reference the poll, I never heard of it.

    Anyway, guess who came in at #20? Yep, our very own Florida Gators!
    Even more interestingly they indicate UF finishes 6 - 6. Alot of
    "schedule respect" there.

    No one wants to win more than the players. Fans haven't put anything into the game but loud voices. If the players fail it's because they've made mistakes or haven't been well coached. GO GATORS!

    I believe the offense will be improved. How many wins the Gator football gets will be determined by how well the defense performs!

    Does the Pac whatever even exist anymore as a functioning, competitive entity? I thought the P-5 was now the P-4. Serious question.

    The PAC "12" and the BIG "12" suck at this point. They need to combine and make a new conference, if they want any respect and viewership. Then we will have P-3
