Sounds like the GatorsCats can play defense. But they struggle to score points.
After seeing what we saw Saturday night, you have to wonder if Napier will lose control over the locker room, he basically cost the Gators a win with his boneheaded calls. The players have to be second guessing how that went down considering they played their asses off for no good reason. Running your QB at the goal line when prior to the season, packages were made specifically for the bigger QB in situations like that, lining up in the shotgun on 4th and 1 and running a jet sweep. That's only two of the bad calls that come to mind, mostly because I've tried to forget thinking about it.Gators should win, nut Kentucky has been the better team in the trenches the last few years. I don't want Mark Stoops and his boring style of play in Gainesville, but he's a better coach than what we've got. Not picking a winner, but my expectations have gotten very low in spite of some really high quality talent.
sadgator obviously needs to skip making any predictions for a bit after last week, but totally agree with you on this.kentucky is a way worse match up for UF than the Vols were, it doesn't matter what number is next to a teams name or not.
sadgator’s not sure what has grown more tiresome, the actual death watch or the death watch predictions prior to every…single…game…If Napier finds a way to lose to this Kentucky team he should be fired immediately after the game.
Notice I said should be. Have you seen this Kentucky team? They didn't show up to play Vandy and Stoops makes $9 million a year.sadgator’s not sure what has grown more tiresome, the actual death watch or the death watch predictions prior to every…single…game…
Oh, and for reasons already stated ad nauseam, Napier won’t be fired “immediately” if he loses to Kentucky, just sayin’…
Up until two games ago we couldn't play defense either.Sounds like the Gators
Our defense has sucked most of the year, but the last two weeks have been promising for sure. If our D plays like they have the past two games, we should be able to hold KY to 20 or less. Not sure we can score 20 against them.Sounds like the Gators
Did you miss the memo that Vandy is good now?They didn't show up to play Vandy…
They chose poorly.Notice I said should be. Have you seen this Kentucky team? They didn't show up to play Vandy
And they're working like heck to defense the 5 or 6 plays that Billy Napier calls every game.I promise you Stoops is in coaches meetings telling his guys, let’s just keep our stuff together, keep it close and let Florida self destruct.

So chewing gum and knowing how to tie your shoes doesn't matter to NIL money? Who knew?Our Gators have issues but Kentucky has a running back who apparently doesn't tie his shoes. So Stoops sits him down. Personally I would get one of my managers to teach him how to tie his shoes, especially when he may be the best runner on your team. Jamarion Wilcox averaged 11.7 yards per carry but only had three carries vs. Vanderbilt.
That's only because Tennessee was exposed by Arky and UF and only proved UT is nothing more than a barely middle of the pack SEC school. They too will lose to Vandy.Up until two games ago we couldn't play defense either.
I read somewhere that we had an injury right before the half and or course those yahoo refs were not going to stop the clock if the player had lost an arm.If there's another penalty for 12 men on the field for a field goal attempt or punting, no reason to wait till the end of the season to fire Napier.

With their remaining schedule, they finish 8-4 at best. Then again, they will lose to either Vandy or Kentucky, or both to finish 6-6.
