What is the line on the Florida/Bama game?

Re: Offcial SEC Football Thread 2010
 

Last time UF was an underdog....hmmm i'd guess the 08 SEC championship against ya'll.

One big concern I have for Florida this game is that no body on our young team has had to comeback from behind, especially Brantley. Not to mention come back from behind on the road in Bryant-Denny! Bama might be young but you've already handled a tough comeback win and are really creating an identity, as you mention. Florida's identity is still nascent.
Think we can be in real trouble if we find ourselves down by two possessions in the second half and the Bama D knows we have to be aggressive and not do short passes

Gators will have to have some big special team plays, get consistently good field position so Brantley doesn't have to drive the whole field, win the tournover battle, create big plays and hold Bama to 21 points or less to come away with a W. Needless to say thats a lot to ask lol

Oct '07 vs LSU

I think you're dead on. Florida can't afford to get down early. If they do, you could see a repeat of last year's game. I don't think that will be the case though because our D just isn't there yet. But I really, really , really, hope y'all load the box to stop the run.

Re: Offcial SEC Football Thread 2010
 

Two key things to watch out for on Florida's D: (1) the play of the defensive line, particularly DE #6 Howard, he's been a force. (2) UF leads the universe so far this season in interceptions with 12. Definitely be needing a defensive line push led by Howard, Jenkins to contain Julio Jones and the secondary as a whole to get a few picks :2

Is it Saturday night yet?? :D

Re: Offcial SEC Football Thread 2010
 

Heh. Not so much. It's the middle routes and slants that they'll eat you up with. Stuff the box and count on a 6yrd toss. Get busted on a screen and count on the Jones link up unless he's swarmed... Then they'll hit ya for a quick 5+. How many times did McElroy even attempt to throw a pass longer than 7yrds? Not many at all. And our safeties aren't exactly stellar. Coverage was fairly good... but not THAT good. No, they knew we would try to contain the big plays.... so they beat us up with those middle routes. Look for more of that against UF.

This article gave me immense pleasure :D. Its a good contrast of fan loyalty with the SEC

:rolleyes:

As much as I value our friendship, Brad, Alabama hardly appears to be a "juggernaut" so far this season. ;) Great team, but barely got by Arkansas. UofF certainly has a chance in the game.

Re: Offcial SEC Football Thread 2010
 

Careful... UF barely got away from us last year too. And it took the SEC officials to do it for them.

...and I won't even mention how much better we are this year. But hey, thanks for not giving us any credit.

It had nothing to do with you (The Razorbacks), and everything to do with Alabama. ;)

Re: Offcial SEC Football Thread 2010
 

So what you're saying is that Alabama isn't that good this year b/c they nearly lost to the Razorbacks? Isn't that the same as saying that the Razorbacks aren't a very tough team? :r

...I wouldn't be too sure ;)

Yep, we pretty much suck. :noon

Re: Offcial SEC Football Thread 2010
 

Saying that Flordia is better than the Razorbacks, Max (I understand your opinion probably varies), and thus Florida has a chance against Alabama despite all the talk to the contrary. Also saying that Alabama is not the "juggernaut" that they were last season so far, but of course all that can change with Ingram and the rest of the talent they have.

Hannah Storm is such an idiot. SportsCenter just went to a commercial and she said "the Crimson Tide make a trip to the Swamp this saturday...." :sh

I did get excited for a moment though! :=:
