Florida @ Tenn

We need to open up some as I doubt Napier's usual 5 yard passing box window will get the job done playing at their stadium. We also must slow down their rushing game. I think TN was running on teams pretty good until their last game.
Napier is conservative in the play calling for sure but I'm convinced Mertz just can not "see" open routes more than 10 yards down field lol. Even when they are there, he checks down. Just 2 cents

After watching closely this season Mertz isn't that accurate with longer throws so it's on both of them I guess. I think he does see things down there but will usually default to the short easy throw if it takes an accurate throw downfield to hit it.

Mertz is 2nd in FBS with completion percentage of 77.2%
Here are the stats directly from the UF site:

Lagway - 38/55, 4 TD's, L-85, Comp % = 69.09% --- QBR 184.05

Mertz --- 61/79, 5 TD's, L- 39, Comp % = 77.22% --- QBR 163.85

But then the Stats don't mean chit, they are just fan talking points.
😉
 
I just hope that Florida puts it all out on the field and we don't go back to running a BS offense. Ultimately, I don't see us winning this game, but I'll be watching. Go Gators!

I think we ran the same crap against UCF but they are just a bad defense. Haven't watched much of TN but their stats are good on defense. Hopefully we can tackle their RBs.
 
Me - sad - HBC all believe that the Gators CAN win the game.

However, we also know that we could just a easily lose the game on sloppy-drop.

So GoooooooooooooooGATORS, and beat them Tennis-sea rubber-dollies!!!

Sending Lulu and Junior home crying again...

Gators win a close game or lose by double digits is my guess.

2 QB's Season Combined - 99 of 134, 73.88% for 1,3 33 yds, 9 TD's, 5 Ints.
Includes bad losses to the scUM and aTm.

The last two game they've looked much better, but against weak competition.

Mertz:
MsSt - 19/21 for 201 yds, 3 TD's, 0 Ints, 0 Sacks
UCF -- 19/23 for 179 yds, 1 TD, 0 Ints, 0 Sacks
Combo - 38/44 for 380 yds, 4 TD's, 0-0

Lagway:
MsSt - 7/7 for 76 yds, 0 TD, 0 Int, 0 Sacks
UCF -- 4-4 for 50 yds, 0 TD, 0 Int, 0 Sacks
Combo - 11/11 for 126 yds, 0-0-0

2 Gms + 2 QB's Combined = 49/55, 89.09% for 506 Yds, 4 TD's, 0 Ints, 0 Sacks.
😲

Showing that so far,,, it greatly depends on the Quality of the Opponent they're playing.

Let all hope that they can have a 'chump opponent' evening on sloppy-drop...

ON the 1 yard line why doesnt he bring in Lagway to sneak the ball? TEBOW did it for Chris Leak

He was down, but Napier is a village idiot. :mad: Puts Lagway in the shotgun in the same situation, lets Mertz try and sneak it. It's time to say goodbye to Slingblade.
