Is Savion playing at all?

Bumphus, Emerson, Solomon are the starting 3, with Middleton, Garland, Williams as the backups. But they've been rotating 6-8 deep and getting good snaps for each. Something I think is promising is we've got 4 DL in the top dozen for tackles on the team. Means a lotta stops are happening near the line of scrimmage for us, granted we've yet to play the SEC so could be fool's gold.

Ignont & Reid seem to have benefited from Bituli sitting a lot as well. I'm pretty high on our D right now, considering just how young they are the talent seems present now.

Does anybody have a list of UF players out for our game? They are missing their top LB and Zuniga who is another good LB. Aren't they missing 2 or 3 starting CB's, too?

I mean, I'd take #1 in sacks and #19 in tackles for loss with the 30th ranked rushing defense at this point.

Of course you would. But they’ve played UT Martin and a young Miami OL with a QB who alone just handed them at least 6 sacks. What they did against KY is a better indication of who they really are. They are not the same defense as they have been in the past.

if she were on opposite side of isle would you have gaf? not getting political. as an observation, i feel like people only care about doling out penalties when they dont agree with their affiliation. its silly.

I only knew she was a dem from googling her name after someone mentioned she got arrested for fraud. I looked her up to read a bit more on that. I thought she was extremely stupid from 5 years ago when I saw that video, and thought it was insane that someone that incompetent was in a position like hers. I really don't get into politics very much since ~2017 when I realized they are a big waste of time and very divisive. To answer the question, I don't think this question is applicable for me. But yes, it is silly that people care about penalties to opposition parties, such as impeachment for Trump/jail for Hillary.

Roethlisberger is out for the season. Needs elbow surgery. Wonder if he considers hanging it up.... 15 years is a long career.

Still young enough to spend all his time being a creep.

I am curious why this is never brought up. He pretty much gets a free pass. I know it's been a long time, but if you have state troopers fronting for you, so you can do what he allegedly did, it's a big deal.

Let's talk about this...

FL absolutely cannot run the ball. They are terrible at it. They ran for 50 yards against Miami. Before they broke that 76 yarder late in the 4th against KY, they had ran for 62 yards. That long run was a defensive bust. Their OL is atrocious and their backs are average.

I know that our run D hasn't been great, but, it will be better with Bituli in there for sure. Lining up and LB play has been our biggest problems in run D and Bituli can fix those things himself.

If they can't run the ball against us, then Trask will be forced to beat us and you know we're going to blitz the crap out of him. This is an interesting aspect of this game.

Their offense did nothing last year against us either. If our offense can't handle their blitz packages and JG can't recognize pressure, it will not matter what happens on the other side of the ball.

Gonna be honest, I am firmly in the "believe it when I see it" camp. But, this I agree with. Their OL is bad. UF's gameplan all relies on how well Trask plays which is heavily depending on the OL.

Their run-blocking has been pretty terrible. Their pass pro has been decent, so I doubt we get pressure unless we bring extra rushers.

True, but their OL is bad and they will have to worry about our blitz packages, especially with an immobile QB back there now.
