Scared money don't make money!!!!! So much for the Pac-12 today. Just ask Oregon and Utah.

Big win for Napier's Gladiators. Anyone who doesn't appreciate it shouldn't be a Gator.
Utah is a good team. I'd say Kentucky level good, which would put them in the top half of the SEC. But they are not #7 good.
A win is a win period and Burney of all people stepped up.
There's a long row to be hoed. Ranking doesn't mean shit. The season will play out and will be what it is. So far I'm pleasantly shocked.

I'm not breaking anything down from this game on the defensive side of things. Utah is an experienced, disciplined, and we'll coached team. I'll take the W and be happy.
For fvcks sake we held them to 0 points with the ball within the 7 yard line twice.
I like this running game, especially the way we use Richardson. Passing game will pick up.

Still have the longest home opener winning streak
Huge win for Napier. Lots of work to do still but that was a great atmosphere and their were tons of big time recruits in the stands. The offense will get better. The defense has holes that aren’t going to get fixed overnight. Recruiting will have to fix the defense but we are bringing in a great defensive class.
Gotta get the ball in #7 Etienne's hands. He is a homer run hitter.
Agree. This kinda reminds me of when we had Ran Carthon and C4 at the same time. Ran picked up the needed yards and had very respectable games but we could see that C4 was the home run hitter.
Damn that was stressful as usual but so much fun.
Just one more observation. Even though the ESPN analyst for this game irked me a few times he actually had some sincere knowledge of the game. He's too good for that network. Now listening to Beth Mowens drone on when she isn't good enough to do SEC women's softball. Sad AF. 
I picked Utah to win the game and am glad I was wrong. Very exciting game to watch. I was very impressed with our offensive line - to me the best maybe since the Urban Meyer days. Richardson is a freak athlete and overall managed the game really well. He will only get better with experience. I like Naquan Wright, but prefer Montrell Johnson because of his size, power and pass blocking abilities. Etienne is, also, going to be a good one. Pearsall made some nice catches and did a good job of blocking on the outside, at least the times I noticed. On defense, they ran all over us and pushed around pretty good the 2nd half and we got almost no pass rush. I understand it's a work in progress and I still think Utah is a very good team and could win the rest of their games. But credit the defense for making 2 HUGE goal line stands and getting 2 turnovers to save touchdowns. This team seems united, committed and pretty well disciplined, especially for a first game against a quality opponent. Hopefully, too, the wild crowd and the way these guys played will influence a few of those big time recruits left out there to come to Gainesville.

🤣🤣😄😂 Should have stayed on this side dude.
I didn’t see him all night other than having the cramp/injury. Issue with him was he has always been a “tweener”.
Against a good team, a win is a win. Almost called the score exactly
And sure enough Burney makes the biggest play in his career by far.
The loudest, most obnoxious and notorious piece of real estate in all of college football came through again…it always amazes sadgator that people forget…
AR 15 - Love him, he is the real deal if he stays healthy.
Offense- appears Gators are back to throwing to the side lines every play. Need better play calling
Defense- Has some work to do at Line Backer spot. Too many times they were out of position from what I've seen.

Now that's what i call a gutty win! Billy-Boy is off and running! There's a lot of room for improvement offensively as the OC needs to open up more. AR-15 has the cannon to make plays in the passing game. We have great receivers that can get open, as always. Defensively we got gutted by Utah's ground attack; however, they made plays when they had to like the goal-line stand and Amari Burney's GW INT on the goal line. Nothing beats The Swamp and the magic of that place. Once again, it's where only GATORS survive!! CHompx10
After he blew chunks before leaving the field, he drinks more Gatorade then blows more chunks.
Huh?
Offensive playcalling was good for the most part.
The best player on the defense tonight was Ventrell Miller who is a LBer. The guy that made the game winning play (Burney) is a LBer.
Incredible that his vomit was red…After he blew chunks before leaving the field, he drinks more Gatorade then blows more chunks.
And LSU has a bye week.
Yes, that was supposed to be funny. But also pretty much true.
Travis Etienne is his name. Get to know that dude
Never drink fruit punch flavored Gatorade. Just sayin'
I was impressed with the offense. A couple of movement calls, yes, but for a first game in a new offense, it looked damned crisp. I like the motion and tempo shifts. If that's the first game, against a fairly good defense no less, when we get the kinks worked out it's going to be very productive.
Wait until they work out the passing game.....it will be lights-out all over again. 40+ppg is coming soon. It's what we're used to.
It continues a troubling trend for the Pac-12 in Week 1 against the SEC. After Saturday, the conference dropped to 1-8 in its last 9 Week 1 games against the SEC, per ESPN. Seven of those Pac-12 losses were ranked teams
