Wait... logic equals ignoring the relevant statistical facts?

Of course you can manipulate facts... but that is far more transparent and therefore less deceptive than acting as if subjective opinions are fact.

Just be honest and complete with stats.

4 definite wins (if they are not Dooley is gone the following Monday): GA St, Akron, Troy, Kentucky

You said this last year. Dont get a big head again and predict easy wins. Every game in the sec could go to either team. Not saying UT wont win, just don't get lazy playing easy teams.

With both Kentucky and Tennessee being healthy, Tennessee beats Kentucky by 21+.

Same kind of "reasoning" we see every year about newcomers displacing established starters. McCullers and Sentimore are almost certain to be starters or in the rotation. The starting RB could be a Fr but Lane probably holds them off. McNeil is really the only other I know of with a good chance of earning a starting slot... and I honestly don't think he will.

Repeatedly people here say this guy or that guy will be a "starter from day one". It almost never happens when an established starter is returning.

HOWEVER, several of those guys stand a really good chance of getting good PT: Peters, Santos, all of the WR commits, Borque, Hill....

I am not dissing this class at all. Just pointing out that development from NSD to the start of the 2nd or 3rd year is VERY significant.

I will be glad when our talent/depth is to the point only a super special player will start as a freshman such as J. Lewis, E. Berry, etc. People may forget there was QB controversy with Stewaart and Manning after the two ahead them on the depth chart went down. I would like to see us with those problems again.

Hmmmmm...Florida also needs a head coach that doesn't have 27 meltdowns a game, LOL.

I'm so happy we didn't get muschUmp.

I also see no way the Gators can keep up with us if Hunter and Rogers stay healthy.

Main thing we badly need is Peyton Manning to come lay the law down to Bray to make him get serious and learn how to read the D so he'll know when to checkdown from runs to passes and passes to runs.

Just being a gunslinger and throwing it all over the field will never make a really good QB out of him.

QB knowing how to read the D correctly will also improve our running game when he doesn't call a running play with 8 or 9 in the box.

I look forward to next season and can't wait for it to get here.

VFL...GBO!!!

Florida not having a quarterback, wide recievers or a running back should solve said problem.

I like our returning numbers, but you have to look a little deeper. NC State is listed as only #31 on that list, but what they are losing is huge. They lose 2 DTs, a linebacker, and their entire wide receiver group.

As for our team, its going to be great to see what Maggit, A.J. and the younger DBs look like after a summer with coach Mac.
