Gators @ Bulls...

[Gator Fever]

This game appears to be a likely blowout as USF has lost its last couple of games to Power 5 opponents by an average score of almost 50-0.

The progress I am hoping to see even if I do want Richardson to be given a shot is for Jones to show he is capable of stretching the field by completing some good passes downfield and not just have passing that is mostly caught behind the line or within 5 yards of the line of scrimmage. He needs to show he can throw people open and have some touch on the longer pass attempts. No bad interceptions also.

With Richardson I would like to see him get much of the 2nd half to give him some good experience prior to the Bama game.

With the defense I am hoping when the tape is broken down afterwards there isn't a bunch of risky play designs like was seen in the FAU game.

I'm looking forward to Insta's stats a week from now that downplays USF likely scoring 14 or 17 points on UF at home.....when other teams can hold them scoreless.

Friday Five: Florida Week The University of Florida Gators roll into Tampa this week to meet the University

From the South Florida site...lol...

"Ideally, this would be stop the run, but the Gators put up 400 rushing yards against FAU and the Bulls really struggled to stop the run in week one. So, just limiting the Gators to half of their last game totals would be big for the Bull, because Florida hasn’t thrown the ball much."

"Gators’ quarterback, Emory Jones threw two picks against FAU, but just one touchdown. Anthony Richardson didn’t throw a pick, but he attempted just eight passes in the game. The Bulls can find themselves with the advantage in the turnover margin if they are looking for those sloppy passes that are begging to be taken away. A few extra possessions could keep USF in the game late, which is where they will need to be for a win.".....

"If USF can stay within two touchdowns by halftime, they will have a chance to win the game in the second half, even if the offense is still struggling, by virtue of non-typical scores, like pick sixes, kick returns, and fumble returns for touchdowns. Florida is the better team on paper, but their opener exposed some flaws. If the game is close, the Bulls will be in a position to capitalize on those flaws to possibly win the game."

UF isn’t playing at home. Since your new around here and you didn’t know that I’m going to assume you aren’t a UF fan either.

The USF Cows begged for this game for years and it was anmounced a while ago. The day is finally here. If their program is in shambles and they can’t put a good product on the field that’s on them. Don’t think we will be signing any more deals with G5 teams after the SEC goes to 16 teams in 2025.

I doubt we do anymore 2 for 1 deals either. Cant remember if that was with UCF or USF or both.

 

[gatordad3]

Just as I predicted, 3 and out for Emory Jones.

 

[NavigatorII]

Eesh.........

 

[gatordad3]

Which is worse, Grantham's defense or the S Florida offense?

Well in fairness, USF's O was a juggernaut last week.

 

[Dannygator1989]

Grantham defense looking good against an overmatched offense.

I didn't even yell at the tv though or threaten to murder anybody when we gained 1 yard on the first drive. Completely expected outcome.

what was that wobbly lame duck Emory threw on the first pass? My god.

He's not a pocket passer for sure. Mullen will adjust calls to that.

 

[Dannygator1989]

hes rolled to right two times for passes and the first one was way overthrown and the second one was high again but Wells was able to jump and grab it.

I wonder if he's just one of those guys that comes in to a game with too much juice and you have to settle him down.

Agreed. USF and UCF wanted these games so bad and if they aren't up to snuff, so be it. Usf isn't very good and that program spiraled after Jim Leavitt left. I hope Florida pounds them by 60

 

[NavigatorII]

Wow. The best defense is an inept offense.

 

[KingofHedgehogs]

I addressed usf's point total and said at home. I am correct. If I addressed ufs point total and said at home than you would be right in calling it out.

 

[Gator Fever]

Defense looks like it might be soft against a good team...

 

[Gator Fever]

Unbelievable...

 

[gatordad3]

If this keeps up I'd rather watch the Pitt Tennessee game.

 

[KingofHedgehogs]

Wow....that usf drive. Secondary totally off balanced.

 

[Gator Fever]

Wow....that usf drive. Secondary totally off balanced.

Its why I am not sold on this defense yet. A lot of that last week that FAU didnt have time to capitalize.

 

[gatordad3]

Charlie Weis Jr owning 3rd and Grantham. Freaking embarrassing.

 

[Gator Fever]

Yes!!!

 

[fsu939913]

Richardson looks to be a good QB in the near future. Damnit.... that was a pretty ball.

 

[gatordad3]

Yes!!!

Yeah yeah I know it's just one play but.....

 

[NavigatorII]

 

[TJtheGator]

He has every intangible that Emory does not.

 

[Gator Fever]

Yeah yeah I know it's just one play but.....

If he can at least pass like Cam did we are a different team...

 

[gatordad3]

I hate to say this but USF should throw deep the whole game.

 

[gatordad3]

Now here comes 4th and Grantham.

 

[fsu939913]

He has every intangible that Emory does not.

He's tall and throws it really nice. As an outsider looking in, he will be starting next yr or before then. He's a better passer than Emory for sure or will surpass him quickly. Way higher ceiling as a passer.

 

[KingofHedgehogs]

Now here comes 4th and Grantham.

And it would have been had USF not thrown a bad ball.

 

[Gator Fever]

USF may not score much this game being overmatched but I don't like what I am seeing with this defense on some plays. Curious what the tape will look like on some of these plays.

 

[Gator Fever]

That was a nice pass by Jones..

 

[kb851]

21-3 Gators
Yep

 

[kb851]

Elsewhere, so far Oregon is physically better than OSU and Pitt the same at utk

 

[Gator Fever]

What we need against Bama...

 

[Gator Fever]

Yes!!!

 

[KingofHedgehogs]

That was a nice pass by Jones..

Not that it's exclusive to Trask, but it definitely reminded me of him.

At least on that throw.

 

[KingofHedgehogs]

I know it's just USF, but the dline looks considerably better....not just the result, but the effort looks improved also.
