One more chance to make a bowl game. We really need those extra practices to help get ready for the early games in 2024. Without Travis FSU is definitely more vulnerable but that backup looks like he can play some. FSU won't get caught by surprise with Brown's running ability now but Brown hasn't got enough passing tape to really show any tendencies there to FSU which might help.
FSU @ Florida...
- Thread starter Gator Fever
- Start date
We better see a TV crowd shot of ole Insta at the game going bananas for Brown.
If our secondary wasn't such trash, we'd have a better chance.

Guess we gonna find out who has the best back up QB at The Swamp next weekend?

Or maybe we'll see which HC can best make use of his backup QB???
Has FSUcks been playing their backup QB any this season, I don't follow anyone but the Gators?

…and just like that…Johnny Wilson becomes a Heisman finalist…
Looking at his stats it appears he must have just got a series near the end of games in about half their games this season except this past game.
Florida vs. FSU: Both rivals are desperate, for entirely different reasons
Both starting quarterbacks are out. Florida needs a win to become bowl eligible. FSU needs a win to keep alive its Playoff hope.

So you're saying that their backup QB has been much better prepared than ours has. Bummer..... 😏
It looks like his only extended play in a game prior to N Alabama was when he came in last season in a road game against Lousville late in the 2nd quarter with them trailing 21-14 and led them to a 35-31 win in that game. He looks to be about like Mertz as far as mobility and can run for a 1st down if it's opened up there but isn't really much of a running threat.
He had only thrown 8 passes prior to Saturday while Brown had attempted 7 passes prior to Saturday. They have almost identical playing time, which is surprising considering the noles had a couple of big blowouts.

Looks like they getting the band back together for Saturday night with Tebow and Spikes in the building
Yep and he played well over a half against Louisville last season and had about 5 or 6 games with just a few attempts like this season. I know it was N Alabama this season (lol) but he has had to take over 2 times after Travis went out with an injury while FSU was losing the game. Coming in on the road against Louisville and throwing a couple of TDs rallying them to a win was impressive for someone getting his first extended playing time in college.
If they score 35 they will win.
I know you have an axe to grind, but Mertz was never the problem. He's been fine. That being said, I'm a huge fan of Max and hopes he brings much pain and suffering to the Nulls!
Never EVER discount the SWAMP when it comes to rivalry weekend. I like our chances. My granny just got a few of her ladies together to play secondary, so we are golden!

Our backup plays like Hellen Keller in the pocket....scared shitless. I expect the Gators to keep it very close and have a chance to win
He's played before, sparingly but he's been here for 4 yrs in this system, he's just not great
I stood next to Johnny, I'm a bigger guy, 6'3"ish 205 pounds of cold hard steel and sex appeal...... and Johnny is a MASSIVE human.
Do the Gators have anyone out for the game with injuries besides Mertz ? FSU doesn't give out shit for info and our starting MLB was out last week and our center went out of the game.
Mertz did a great job this year for UF . He has a noodle arm but if given time he can get the ball deep . I have no idea what your backup can do when the bullets start flying. Ours is OK, has a good arm, but playing at UF at night is different lol.
UF roster is young, but experienced if that makes sense ( covid year messed everything up ) .I don't know if thats good or bad honestly.
Usually these games play out as expected, with the better team winning. But games at UF are always close .
Barring turnovers and wonky plays I think FSU wins by 10 or so. But if UF gets a pick six early or a couple of turnovers in FSU territory its gonna get wild.

This is the kind of game the old place was built for. Hope we bust some ear drums at least…
Let’s fvcking go ya’ll…
He’d have most-likely gone for it, if you would have just wiggled your ass…
We know nothing about Brown except that he can run pretty good. I guess we will find out about his passing. If he plays decent I think we will be close late in the game.
We are about to find out a LOT about Max and the team. I hope we have the us against the world attitude and they rally around him. This game will tell more about this team than any this year. Let go!!
Gators have NOTHING to lose.
Seminoles have EVERYTHING to lose.

Battle of the backups. Whatever this game was going to be, it won't be now.
And even if FSU puts up a bunch of points with the backup, it still won't prove anything, because we could give up 24 PPG playing against air.

Good luck, Gators. Chomp the cultural appropriationists.
Surely you refer to the Kansas City Chiefs in your state since they shamelessly appropriated our Warchant?
Just for the 'know-nothing's' of the Sgt. Schultz world.....

And I've never blamed Mertz as a person.
I didn't like his TD/Int Ratio or his Sack count at Wis.
I still don't think that his QB-pp 5-6 skill set fits with the current Gator roster.
My problem with Billy is QB-pp Miller instead of developing Fr QB-dt Brown.
And then to add insult to 6-7, 3-30 injury, he again brings in QB-pp Mertz instead of developing rsFr QB-dt Brown in his 2nd year.
This made double non-sense to me, because he's bringing in a 5-star QB-dt in 2024. Instead of developing a dual threat spread type offense and getting the rest of the offense trained and ready to go with a Spread-Offense and a QB-dt, he's busy giving us a QB-pp double losing seasons....
I guess it's true that you just 'CAN'T FIX STUPID.'
i'm not a hater of any of that, I'm just pointing out what I see as a major coaching generated fan dysphoria....
Did Miller ever take a snap this season?
