Opening line Gators +13 Saturday night vs. LSU
- Thread starter gatorshime
- Start date
LSU's looked really good this season but they honestly only have 1 good win on the resume and that's Texas. TX is probably a top 20-25 team so it's a good win, but it's not like they've beaten AL and UGA already.
UF has been up and down and has 1 really good win on the resume - Auburn. Our top end game is just as good as LSU's and maybe LSU has only looked as good as they have because even TX isn't very good.
It's a 50-50 game imo.

Trask is good for us this year, he makes good decisions and throws an accurate ball.
In a year where we have great receivers and can't run, might as well put in the QB that can throw to the great receivers. Next year all those receivers are gone, Oline will be a year older, maybe we will be able to run, then Jones might be the right guy. I think Franks might be done as a starter.
fsu sucks for sure......let's emphasize that in your post....the rest I may read later..
Auburn's DL is the only thing on the defensive side of the ball that is better than LSU. LSU is superior at LB and DB...just saying.
Those talented players let Vandy score 38 points on them.
Vandy is currently the 110th ranked offense in the nation.
Your team is a sham and we are about to expose you.

If we play well we win. Just have to see how the game goes. We could get worked. I want to see it.
I’m not so sure about that. LSU hasn’t been that good on the defensive side of the ball this year. The stats say otherwise
If that's the case gators "D" hasn't been that great either.
Total defense
UF - 276 yds per game -- 4.5 yds per play
LSU - 287 yds per game -- 4.4 yds per play
rush defense
UF - 93 yds per game -- 2.9 yds per att
LSU - 81 yds per game -- 2.6 yds per att
pass defense
UF - 183 yds per game -- 6.3 yds per att
LSU - 206 yds per game -- 6.1 yds per att
Not a hill of beans difference in those numbers. Gators defense has big edge in negative plays. UF must give up a ton of big plays though to counteract all those negative yards.
Tigers don't have nearly as many sacks and TFLs, but the defense has a smaller YPP avg. Showing they don't give up as many big plays.
While the gator nation feasted on tenn (94 in scoring) and ky (95 in scoring) plus TWO I believe lower division teams, UT Martin and Towson.
Miami with a TrFr QB, two TrFr and one Rfr Olinemen starting was the second best "O" gators have faced to date.
That's really some quality competition for that stud gator "D".
We will see where UF ranks at the end of the season but statistically we're one of the top in the country and #1 in turnovers. Our defense is very good.
Why didn’t you include PPG in your statistical analysis. The LSU defense looked horrendous in there only P5 opponents they have played.
I believe the LSU defense is giving up 38 PPG against P5 opponents. Sure that is great defense.
UF is giving up 14.2 PPG against P5 opponents.
Texas's defense isn't even in the top 100 in the nation. Don't tell me a team that can barely find 11 guys to put on the field at once for defense is a top 10 team and counts as a quality win.
You have an offense that hasn't played a team with any kind of defense yet. Every single team you have faced has given up over 30 points to at least two OTHER teams.
And, you gave up 38 to the 110th ranked offense in the nation.
LSU is an illusion.
LSU has BEATEN a top 10 team in their own stadium. Probably biggest win of the year. The highest ranked offense either of us has faced is Texas (total 18 and scoring 11).
UF highest rated opponent in total yds is Miami (38). Highest scoring is auburn (38).

Hahahahahahaaaaa Texas's offense is so good because it was able to run up the score and the yards against a completely nonexistent LSU defense. What happened to you corndogs, you used to have good defenses. This year? Vanderbilt is running up the score on you.
Explain what your team is going to do when they can't get a first down at home against Florida? Considering the highest ranked defense you have faced this year so far is rated 118th out of 149 schools in the FBS. THAT IS PATHETIC.
LSU IS THE ONLY TEAM IN AMERICA AT THIS POINT IN THE SEASON WHO STILL HAS NOT FACED A DEFENSE IN THE TOP 100.
Let that sink in just a little bit. Truly that is frightening just how overrated the LSU offense is right now. They haven't faced a single team with a functioning heartbeat yet.
games arent won on paper bitches...see ya in tiger stadium sat nite.
oh, if you staying at the team hotel, you best be getting to bed. word on the street is the fire alarms will be going off at 3am cst

Sorry but you've been talking lots of BS and sometimes you're factually wrong. Everyone knows that UF winning at your house is a tall order but you guys act like it's not even in the cards.
Can you please enlighten me as to anything I posted that was factually wrong?
I am expecting a typical LSU/UF game. Knock down drag out slobberknocker. It will go down to the fourth quarter.
Gator fans are hanging their hat on that great "D". While tearing down LSU's record setting "O". Miami is the highest ranked UF opponent in total offense. They are the second highest UF opponent in scoring "O". How's that cane "O" looking tonight? That's an offense that started a TrFr at QB. Two TrFr and a Rfr on the Oline against UF.
Does it mean Central Michigand and Virginia have a better defense thab gators? They did hold da "U" to fewer points.
Come saturday night about 10:30/11:00 o'clock how will you explain Vanderbilt having a better offense than your gators?
What do you think of bama's "O"? How bout the sooners? Just because tigers haven't faced any highly rated defense doesn't mean that it's "O" isn't legit.
What quality "O" has that great gator defense played this year?
Maybe at a neutral site but, Death Valley at night and Trask’s first time in a big game at night, will be worth a TD easily. Las Vegas betting sites have it at +13 for a reason.
Bama's O will put 200 points on LSU's "might as well not even step out onto the field" completely absent defense. What offense has UF faced this year? Well Auburn had the #1 rushing game going on in the SEC until it met up with us. We had the second to LAST rushing offense in the SEC and we still managed to end the game with more rushing yards than Auburn did in that game.
Nobody here isn't saying the offense isn't legit. Best ever in the SEC? Nowhere close chipmunk. We will see at the end of 12 games where LSU's offense ranks up against the best in the SEC. LSU hasn't faced any good teams yet, and still has to deal with Florida's, Auburn's, and Alabama's defenses on it's schedule.
Face it, the reason Florida and it's fans are pissed off is because no matter how many times we spank LSU's ass on national television, the country seems to think we should always be the underdog when we play the corndogs. The game being played at LSU, I'm fine with being the under dogs here, but 13 freaking points? No way in hell. The ONLY reason that margin was set by Vegas to that point is the blown-out-of-proportion offense that LSU has right now and that is based solely on playing nobody at all so far this season. You think we fans are pissed off at this insult of being 13 point dogs, imagine how our team is taking it, especially with all of the shit talk the LSU football team has dropped all over the place this week. So nobody is questioning our defense on these forums and in this debate because it wasn't our defense that gave us a 2 TD favorite by Vegas. So if our defense isn't legit, no harm no foul. It's your offense and nothing else that is the issue full of hot air here.
Or we can just ignore all of this and you can get on with pulling the fire alarm in our team's hotel at 3 am as per the usual LSU weekly requirement or send a few thousand death threats to our QB like your fanbase usually does.

An Auburn offense that is 61st in the country in total "O"? Good nowhere near elite status. Too one dimensional. Starts a TrFr at QB to boot. Heard they had one hell of an opening drive in the swamp.
All that energy and electricity in the air in the swamp last week will be in BR tomorrow. Trask is in for a rude awakening. First road start in that atmosphere will be a come to jesus experience for him. Game Day is just the cherry on top.
LSU is 6-3 last nine games. It's 3-1 in tiger stadium.
All that shit talk you talk about, except Joe Burrow saying he don't like gators and gators don't like LSU haven't seen much else in south LA being reported. Did see something about UF player having a tiger skeleton and some body from FL talking about the LSU basketball player that was murdered last year.
Sorry that the oddsmakers hurt your feelings.
We can win this game but it will be tough in a night game there. Need to be + 2 in turnovers probably.
Texas scored what, 34 on you? Oklahoma, who is not known for great D, is shutting them down.
Vandy scored what, 38 on you? They are ranked 110th in total offense.
Your offense is fine, not nearly what you think it is, but fine. Your defense, though, is hot garbage. You will understand better in a few hours.
Vandy and Texas both scored 38 on LSU so, I guess that makes those offenses better than the gators "O". UF had a two for one in TOP and yet still only managed SEVEN points the entire second half. That occurred on opening drive of third quarter. Gators went the last 25 minutes of game without scoring. If LSU "D" is hot garbage what those that say about UF "O"?
That tiger "O" is better than fine. ZERO SACKS. 500+ yards of offense, just under 300 passing and 200+ rushing, 100% in red zone. For the sixth game in a row scored in every quarter. That means every quarter of every game this season tigers have put points on the board. Only SEC team to do so. On a national level the only other team I can think of that might have also done that is OU.
Vandy had 2 defensive scores, but that is irrelevant. UF just couldn't stop the LSU offense, but the LSU D allowed 1 TD very early in the 2nd half. The vaunted Gator D gave up an avg of 10+ yards per play to the LSU O, and almost as many points as they have allowed all season. The LSU D showed up when it mattered most, not so much for the "best" defense in the SEC. Hope y'all beat UGA...good luck.
so much for that 9.5 pts per game scoring defense huh? guess y'all hadnt played anybody worth a darn yet...
Well, that all changed last night, didn't it?
