TAMU's defensive stats are highly skewed.
Their 1st game a 17 - 12 squeaker over Vandy, so neither team showed any offense.

Their 2nd game a 52 - 24 beatdown by Bama.

So it's Kyle to Kyle @ Kyle....

This feels like a let down game. There's a lot of hype about Florida and the the two Kyles and the TAMU connection blah blah blah right now.

our defense just needs to play a little better and I think we're fine.

the doom and gloom so far has been surprising to me.

A couple of things in our favor. Although I loath 11:00 AM games the guys won’t have to wait around all day to play. the “twelft man” won’t be as much a factor either. This game will be a good test given our recent history against Fisher.

You’ll beat them by 2 TDS. Jimbo is the most overrated coach in football.

Why are we suddenly the kings of the noon time slot? Weird.

 

[GatorNation79]

With the way that our defense has been playing I expect a tight game. I think we win if we win the turnover battle.

 

[instaGATOR]

I think that the Gators win, IF the secondary remembers that they are DB-U, not Hodunk-U. They need to come together and play together, not try to just shine individually.

That, and IF the SEC officials call the OL holding our D.
To me, the lack of holding calls is partly responsible for the offensive outbursts that are happening, so we'll see.

Gators 35

[Countygator1]

Without the dominating D to go along with our O most all our games will be close. No different here. I like the Gators by 7.

Game 1 = Gators +16

Game 2 = Gators +14

I see what you mean.... 😏

[LizardGrad89]

South Carolina is hot garbage and we made them look semi-competent. If TAMU can get pressure on Trask we will be in trouble. Our offense is very good but we won't outscore everybody. I want us to win but I'm having a crisis of confidence right now.

LG89,

I feel your pain !

Agree. At this point that looks like a gimme.

Keys to the D-line performances against the run:

aTm - DT Bobby Brown 6-4 324 Jr

UF - DT Tedarrell Slaton 6-5 340 Sr
=========

#26 RB Malik Davis 5-10 205 **** rsJr
Rush - 11 for 58 yds, 7.0 ypc // Rec - 5 for 46 yds, 9.2 yds/rec

#8 RB Dameon Pierce 5-10 215 Jr
Rush - 18 for 105 yds, 5.8 ypc // Rec - 1 for 2 yds.

#16 RB/FS Iverson Clement 6-0 200 rsSo
Career 2018-19 - Rush - 7 for 65 yds, 9.3 ypc
-----
Recent RB recruiting is seeing a very strong come-back imo:

2018 - #2 RB Lorenzo Lingard 6-0 203 ***** rsSo - flip xfer from Miami
Eligible, but has not played yet in 2020.

2019 - #16 RB Nay'Quan Wright 5-9 195 **** rsFr
Rush - 5 for 2 yds, 0.4 ypc // Rec - 2 for 30 yds, 15 yds/rec
-----
2020 - #3 RB Demarkcus Bowman 5-10 190 ***** Fr - flip xfer from Clemson
Eligibility for 2020 ??? (unlikely)

Why has the line fallen to UF -5???

Crazy seeing the stats with Mullen since Trask took over and the passing to rushing ratio. Would have never believed it with Mullen but it does show he adapts to what he has.

Pretty sure he did the same with Leak
