Peach Bowl: Florida v Michigan

[Gator Fever]

Starting to think we have a good chance to win this game. 3 of their top players at least are sitting this game out for the draft and I think they will have a tough time against our running game now.

Also I think there may be more motivation on our side due to last year's game.

Florida’s performance in this game is going to be the ultimate true measurable between Mac and Dan...

Had a friend call me and said his buddy had 2 tickets and he gave them to me. They are 2 suite tickets. Merry Christmas

The fourth player to sit out Michigan’s Peach Bowl affair with Florida is senior offensive tackle Juwann Bushell-Beatty, a U-M spokesperson confirmed to the Detroit Free Press.

I'm assuming all of these 4 are starters?

I’m the last one to speak on Fatso’s behalf, but the Michigan team he played was probably quite a bit more motivated than this one, as demonstrated by the fact that a quarter of the starters are sitting. It will be interesting though because Fatso’s team did not deserve to be on the field with UM. That’s where you knew it was never going to work for Fatso.

Still had the more talented team. Look at the draftees on that defense alone. Harbaugh embarrassed him with a QB who lost his job at Iowa.

Yes they all 4 were the starters.

Not sure what I really think about this game right now even with those 4 starters out. On offense I doubt it affects Michigan too much though those 2 sitting on defense are top notch players and there should be a clear dropoff for Michigan with those 2 spots.

Michigan's strengths due seem to play against/into our strengths/weaknesses some. When playing good they stop the run and are good at running power.

I hope we are ready for that power - off tackle stuff they like to run because we got ate up with that a few times this season against other teams.

Also I think they could make things difficult for our passing game with all their blitzing if we don't establish the run early.

I too see this as a potential matchup problem for us - but i'm cautiously optimistic...in Mullen I trust.

 

[GatorGraz]

I think what separates Mullen from a lot of coaches is his ability to exploit an opposing teams weaknesses. Ultimately, our players have to execute his game plan but I have always felt at ease with his ability to break down a defense. It will come down to being able to run the ball effectively so that it does not fall squarely on Franks shoulders. If we are able to execute, I believe we win this one 24-20.

Yeah well, that’s Fatso for ya.

A big difference in last year to this year? “Light years,” said LB Vosean Joseph. “A rematch in this game from where we were last year … This whole season has been about playing teams we lost to last year.”

Well, there are some mixed Results there Vo....

2017 UF 16 - 45 Mizzou (+29)
2018 UF 17 - 38 Mizzou (+21)

2017 UF 22 - 38 FSU (+16)
2018 UF 41 - 14 FSU (-27)

2017 UF 17 - 33 Mich (+16)
2018 UF ?? - ?? Mich

We're all hoping that the bowl game results mirrors the 2nd example...

Yep hopefully it doesn't follow the Missouri and Georgia games.

Harbaugh’s a big time douche and his team is also full of douches. The crap they pulled at MSU where they all drug their cleats to rip up the MSU logo on the field was seriously low-class. What are they supposed to be bullies? I think Harbaugh has a losing record to them. Plus he hired Fatso.

It's fitting that he took up residence near Wisconsin.

Again, I despise all things Michigan and theirarrogant ass fans. But what MSU did to start that game was completely childish. MSU deserved that

What did they do? I only saw UM dragging across the logo.
