The more people involved and inconvenienced, the more complicated it becomes. Involving other teams, working around other games and changing TV schedules is a logistical burden.

I know this isn't important given the bigger picture, but we'd like to keep the CBS 3:30 kick, if at all possible. The SEC probably hopes the game can be played in Gainesville; if not, they'll go with the simplest solution.

I may need to be quiet on players on the team I don't think are good. Once I see a bad player I have a hard time holding back. We don't have the coaching to fix issues and that's apparent. Team looked better coached years 2-3 than in years 4-5. That's a huge problem for me. Looks like we are regressing on the field.

I agree with this.... Hopefully a lot of it has to do with Shoop maybe playing Vanilla so far, but our O and D lines are just average and will get exposed when we hit SEC play.

Jumper.

McDowell, Jumper, and Bituli were our LBs. It was nice seeing three LBs on the field for any period of time for a UT defense again.

That's what I thought


Didn't butili play MLB against Tech?


If it stays this way 35 and 7 are never going to be on the field at the same time which is a problem

For all your analysis, you did not realize Jumper plays the middle (and has for 2+ years) and Bituli plays outside?? smh

Lol. Well you see all week we talked about how good 35 played at MLB. Apparently with this staff there are interchangeable but from my seat it means they never get settled and comfortable in one spot.

Listened to Big Orange Sunday this morning and Doug thinks...Offense is going to be good, likes young WR's, RB's and QD. Says QD just needs to play within his game and not force anything, rely on the running game and take shots downfield with 50/50 balls to Callaway and others. Thinks OL definitely needs to improve on pass blocking but likes their run blocking.

Defense...only questions are the DT's and CB's...thinks DT's need to get better push and CB's need to play better. Really likes our DE's, S, and LB. Biggest thing he said...he believes Bituli is our MLB going forward and he'd be shocked if he wasn't. Really likes Bituli, said he's "excellent, a bigtime fb player". Said starting this week we'll see mostly 2 LB's with Bituli and McDowell.

Also says we have the best ST in the nation and need to capitalize on getting field position and points there.

I hope he is right. I know the guy has like 40 years of coaching and football knowledge. I just didn't see the same picture he saw.

Didn't Sankey also make a change in the SEC bylaws giving him full and final control over what happens in a situation like UF/UT? I can't find anything about it but I swear I remember hearing that on the radio at some point around SEC media days.

Yes. The schools voted him that power after the LSU/UF debacle.

Shoop won't play Bituli! He loves him some Jump

Ignont needs to play next to Bituli. Kid flashed as soon as he got in. The second unit looked faster than the first unit easily.

Kyle Phillips not starting is hilarious.

Wiggins or Osborne should be ahead of Martin. Or put a young guy in and grow him at CB. Waiting on him to play to his potential level is over with.

Warrior and Gaulden need to be the safeties. Abernathy is naturally a Cb and needs to play there or the nickel. He can't play safety.

Idk why we have some guys in some spots but these coaches would rather lose with guys with no potential to grow than build with the young guys. I'm all for playing good older players but those guys aren't world beaters.

Tifwiw but same guy that told me about Kirkland being hurt says there is some worry about florida pushing to play on Friday.

Is the timing of Jose an issue that might get the game moved up a day?

We have a legit reason to say no to that. We've been on a short week and to follow up with another short one would give them an unfair advantage.
