Hard not to agree with this article.
What I think might help us early on is that the offense is undergoing a radical change from prior years, to the point that 2020 game tape won't help hardly at all.
We are heading into a new world with Emory. Up until now, we have had to "press Quarterbacks into service", so to speak. But Emory has been GROOMED. While it would be unrealistic to think he won't make the mistakes that new starters usually make, I expect him to have command of the offense from the start: full playbook, all the audibles, the whole thing.
If Dan's as smart as I think he is (which is pretty damn smart, let me tell you), he will come out the first two games and give Bama NOTHING. Super vanilla playbook for FAU and USF, maybe even a lot of pro-style like we had in 2020, then hit Bama with the full spread offense. It's a tall order to win that game, and we will need more help from our defense then I think we will get, but Bama lost all their playmakers same as us, so I expect them to ground and pound. If we can stand up to that, we will have a chance.

1standTenFlorida - Change is coming to Gators offense
Emory Jones should give the Gators a more balanced offensive attack.
