I am involved in so much in work this week, and I am extremely lucky I didn't have to travel to Toronto or Seattle. I dodged two bullets. Anyways...

This game scares the daylights out of me from a Gator perspective. There are still so many unknowns on your team that I can't get a good feeling. Your defense is outstanding, and I am afraid we are scheming too much for the run and not the pass (albeit I not put my trust in Urban as he has proven himself to be a hell of a game day coach). JC isn't as bad as some of you make him out to be. He is easily rattled, so if your OL can protect him and you guys can run on our D, we will be in for a long night.

I don't believe the spread whatsoever. This will be a very close game. There is too much talent on your team this year for a blowout.

I wish all of you traveling to Gainesville a very safe trip. I hope that we all behave in a civil manner to each other since we have a special rivalry. Again, I want to extend an invitation to any Vols in the upstate of South Carolina to meet with the Upstate Gator Club to watch the game at the American Pie Factory off of Pelham Road in Greenville, SC. If you can, PM me so I can try and reserve some seating for you.

Best of luck and safe travels.

Wow more positive thoughts from a Gator fan than most of our own fans.

Thanks

Thanks for the kind words. We are going to have to play much better than we did last Saturday to keep the game close for 4 quarters.

I think the game will be interesting enough. I just hope some idiot fan at the game does anything stupid. For some reason I can see a fan throwing something....mmmhmm

And if any of you make the trip to G-ville and get treated badly, please accept my apologies. Too much Natty Light will do that to the best of people.

Very classy post gator. I sure hope your right about it being a close game we are due to play a good game. I think you all have to many weapons at the end of the day and your QB is 100% better than ours.

In all honesty, I cannot wait for this game to be over. I'm so sick and tired of hearing about the Kiffin/Meyer feud.

Natty Light messes up my aim, and I've got to have good aim, because I'm not letting all those pee balloons that I've been filling all month go to waste! So, I'm laying off the Natty Light on Saturday. :rofl:

great thing about this week being almost is that the gator 3rd world country will stop posting on our board after this weekend. i guess by next wed the bragging and taunting will have died down.

I have some offtime...so here are my thoughts on the position battle. Feel free to argue, debate, or agree. Hopefully some good discussion will come of this:

I'll start with Crompton and UT WR's vs. our secondary.
- Crompton will have to play a lights out game... really anybody will. the DB's start with a good Linebacker corp and we have arguably the best LB's in the country with Brandon Spikes anchoring. We have good cover corners. Yes, we gave up 200 yards in the first half against CSU, but keep in mind that we played only 2 defensive schemes without two of our playmakers (Janoris Jenkins and Lawrence Marsh (I think)). Any long balls will be answered by Major Wright who is a hard hitter. I dont know too much about your WR's, so can someone please make a small post here to tell me about them? Crompton will have to make good decisions. To do that, he needs time to throw. Play Action is a must for him to be successful. A few rollouts will keep our defense guessing. I'm going to give a medium edge to Florida.

UT OL and RB's vs our DL - I think our DL is not getting as much respect as they should be... but when you play 2 cupcakes, that will happen. You have some studs on OL, but I believe your depth is low. Your center needs to play lights out for Crompton's sake. He is taking pain shots and is a bit dinged up already. You have two monster RB's in Hardesty and Brown. If they can be successful (which I'm afraid they might be), then it will open up a lot for your offense. I'm going to call this even right now, maybe a slight edge to UT.

Tebow and WR's vs. UT secondary - #1 is a beast. Plain and simple. Berry needs to be accounted for for every play. (off topic, will he be used in a WildVol formation?) Your defense scares me. Playmakers at every position with an NFL hall of famer coaching them up. Tebow will need to recognize what's going on to make plays. If Kiffin Sr. blitzes a lot, then hopefully we can utilize Hernandez and the option. If you play in a Tampa 2, then hopefully Tebow will have time to make something happen. We'll see. Thompson had too many dropped passes against CSU. Keep a watch on Omarius Hines. He is a scrapper at WR. In the end, I am calling a slight edge to UT if not even.

UF OL & RB's vs. UT DL - How is your D-line depth? Last I heard, it was kind of thin. Can someone post something about your D-line as well? If so, this may be a cause of concern. We have 3 good RB's. Moody is the bruiser and Demps/Rainey are like lightning. I want to see Moody between the tackles and Demps/Rainey used as option backs. That would work best against your DL, imo. Don't worry, because that won't happen. Demps has breakaway speed, so if he can get into open space he is probably gone. Pending some insight, I am calling this a major advantage to UF.

Coaching - Obviously with Meyer winning 2 out of the last 3 National Titles, I give the coaching advantage to him. I don't think either of us have seen enough of your current coaching staff to make a good evaluation, right?

Intangibles - The Swamp. 'nuff said...sort of. With Kiffin Jr. getting you fans riled up, he ticked off Meyer and the team. On the flip side, revenge will be a factor for you guys. Plus with little to no pressure on you guys, you will be playing loose from the beginning (unless there's some big play to swing momentum). I am calling this even.


SO...thoughts?

You left out the "Pee Balloon Factor". Or is that poo balloon? Golly, I keep getting those things confused. How do you put poo in a balloon, anyway?

I had to hurry it up. I'm troubleshooting an issue at work so I didn't get to say everything I wanted to.

Can anyone break down your WR's for me?
