Arlis Boardingham - 6-4 220 Fr - TE-WR-QB-RB-LB
We heard from a handful of opposing coaches talking up Boardingham saying things like, "he almost single handedly won that game for Birmingham.’He caught 7 balls for 156 Yds (22.3 Yds/Rec) with 2 TD's, he ran for a TD, had a fumble recovery for another TD and added 6 Tkl's, with 2 TFL on defense."

Complaints from some fans about how Dan used the RB's in 2021, claiming that he was switching them out too often.
That's BS in the iG's opinion. Maybe the QB's ran too much, but the RB's got rotation as a committee.
For those that think that Billy will do things much differently, I don't think so, going by ULL in 2021. Here's the comparison in running games:
QB Jones ---- 143 for 758, 5.3 ypc, 4 TD's, L-49
QB Richardson 51 for 401, 7.9 ypc, 3 TD's, L-80

RB Pierce 100 for 574, 5.7 ypc, 13 TD's, L-27

ULL - QB/RB 540 for 2,757 yds, 5.1 ypc, 34 TD's -- vs Sun Belt Def
UF had less than a 100 yds difference, on 53 less carries,,, so UF was more efficient running it.
And UF also had a better passing game than ULL had, so UF ran it a little less.
As far as using a committee run game, Dan and Billy were a lot alike imo.
The big difference was in the number of QB runs for each team.
But UF's 2 QB's were WAY better runners than ULL's QB.
UF QB's -- 194 for 1,159, 6.0 ypc, 7 TD's

You can't coach speed in your ball handlers.

The DT depth worries me a little watching the spring game. Looked like a big step down with the 2nd stringers especially with getting after the QB.
Agreed but tough to tell when the QB’s have immunity.
I should have said D line or front 4 instead of just DTs as far as the 2nd stringers. I think Cox got after AR15 pretty good a few times but he was getting rid of the ball or taking off pretty quick.
2022 DT's: 7 top 50's, with 3 as top 20's at position.
(all are a bit on the young side, but with enough talent - 1/5, 4/4, 2/3)

Overall, it's a very young group among the DE's and OLB's
Plus some of those listed at LB could make a move to DE if needed.
Fall Practice and the first 2-3 games should sort things out in that group.

This kind of sports writing leaves me SMDH....
Is this guy this stupid, or does he have an agenda, either his or someone else's?
In a SI article on who the backup QB will be in 2022.
"Jones would quickly change his mind about staying with the program, ultimately opting to transfer to AzSt, making Miller the team's most experienced QB on the depth chart, tied with Richardson as a redshirt sophomore."
The only way that Miller 6-3 215 is tied with AR-15 6-4 237 is in their class, both rsSo's.
Newbee Millers vast experience at tOSU consisted of going 7 of 14, 50%, plus 2 Yrs on the bench.
Where as Kitna 6-4 205 has been with his Gator teammates for going on 2 seasons.
What Miller has over Kitna, is how long he's known Nappy.....
But neither Miller or Kitna has the kind of raw talent that QB-dt Max Brown 6-3 200 has shown. (his Dad was an NFL WR)
"I think Max, when you turn the tape on, you can immediately see the baseball background,” Napier said, according to 247Sports’ Thomas Goldkamp. “The off-platform throws. Really a natural thrower. A guy that is projected to be kind of a middle-round draft pick in baseball. The guy’s a winner. I’ve been impressed with his leadership skills. And I think his best football is in front of him." - CBN

WoW Arch, that's truly incredible, so no wonder he's the #1 rated QB in the 2023 class. -- His current school recruiting list - Tx-UA-UG-UF-LSU
In 2021, QB Arch Manning 6-2 170 ***** threw for:
1,947 yds, 61.8%, 26 TD's to only 4 int's...
=== HS Stats are per MaxPreps ===
2,750 yds, 71.1%, 41 TD's to only 4 Int's...
In 2021, QB Max Brown 6-3 200 *** threw for:
But of course last names and the camps attended have nothing at all to do with the listed recruit rankings... (right IPD) 🤣
PS
Maybe it's just me, but I'm thinking/seeing Brown pushing and learning from AR-15, while Kitna and Miller can battle for the 3rd spot in the 2022 QB room....

A win is a win. we do not need a blow out. Just a solid home victory against a rated team to get the bus rolling. We will beat Utah
Utah is certainly a decent opponent for UF, especially in the 1st game of the season, but they are about the same imo, as a top Group of 5 team. They can certainly beat you, and it could be close for a half, but the Gators should win going away...
They clapped Oregon twice last yr and had a solid squad. I think it's a tough out for the Gators. Hey, at least you don't open up with the Monster that we do.....
Utah has been in the Pac12 for a decade and have had the same leadership since 2005. We have a brand new staff and scheme. It's a bit silly to think that we're just going to out talent them.
A lot of questions going into the year.
A lot of questions going into the year.
Ore didn't finish in the Top 20 in either poll.
UU only played 3 teams in the Top 50, and only 1 was in the Top 25 when they played, #15 SDSt (finished at #25), and they lost to SDSt.
So, can UU beat the Gators in the swamp?
Yes.
Should UU beat the Gators in the swamp?
Hell-NO
Nappy + his 50 person staff will be off to a terrible start, if they lose to those Lac-12 Chumps.

"Neither Kitna nor Brown has played a single snap of football in college aside from practices for Kitna. The team cannot rely on an incoming freshman, either, so there shouldn't be any question about whether or not the team can utilize Brown much as time moves on." -- The iG is calling BS on that opinionated claim.
Sorry, D, but Max Brown would not be the first freshman to become the starter and play well at Florida. And the difference between Kitna's and Miller's college experience is so thin that you could read the newspaper through the difference.... -- iG

Question for the board's Gator fans:
IF you were the Gator's HC, where would you put your backup QB coaching time & money for the coming 2022 season???
lol the more I read this thread the more I believe we will win!!! haha
If Lac-12/Utah can hire a better football coach than SEC/UF can, then Florida is already in big trouble, and we've got the wrong AD....lol the more I read this thread the more I believe we will win!!! haha
If the 2 coaches are just even in their coaching abilities, then with the difference in their 5 class average combined roster rankings, that should make the difference, UF 12 to UU 35.
If it was played in Utah, the Gator should still win, but in the SWAMP... 🤓
I have to agree with the Miller vs Brown comparison. I would have liked to have seen Kitna and DelRio-Wilson in the spring game.

I don't think Utah should win, I just don't think it will be "easy". Utah is like a better version of Kentucky. Really well coached, good players. Oregon didn't finish in the top 20 because they got owned by Utah twice.
Yep - this my take as well. On the UF side, assuming we get the D cleaned up and not having any attrition for that time in season, I think we win having more talent upside.
Per Insta -
"Sorry, D, but Max Brown would not be the first freshman to become the starter and play well at Florida."
"IF you were the Gator's HC, where would you put your backup QB coaching time & money for the coming 2022 season???"
I agree with Insta - Miller is a DUD & we need to seriously check out Kitna & Brown - NOW in EARLY Fall Practice !

Gators great Kerwin Bell, the ‘Throwin’ Mayoan’ started as a true freshman - after injury to starter I believe.
Of course he had the "Great Wall of Florida" & some decent RBs (3 - 1st round NFL Draft Picks) to help him out - Neal Anderson, John L Williams, & Lorenzo Hampton. If I recall Kerwin was SEC player of the year.I agree with Insta - Miller is a DUD & we need to seriously check out Kitna & Brown - NOW in EARLY Fall Practice !
Jeff,
Set school records in touchdowns (14) and season passing yardage (2,167) for a true freshman and achieved the top freshman passing total in UF history. He beat eventual 2003 NC LSU in a Death Valley night game (19-7), giving them their only loss on their NC season.
With 3-consecutive road wins over top-11 programs, (he was the 1st Fr QB to do that in NCAA history) and he became only the 2nd freshman QB to beat three top-15 teams in his rookie season (Kerwin Bell defeated No. 8 Georgia, No. 11 Auburn and No. 12 FSU as a redshirt freshman in 1984)
And Chris was leading the team in the Zooksters 2nd season as the Gator HC....
2003: Chris Leak, a true freshman who had a 6-3 record as the starting QB, the highest winning percentage of any freshman QB in the country. Held a 6-1 record in SEC games and was 3-1 vs. top-15 teams as a starter.

Now for another round of who's the RB....
RB, unlike the QB position, is not one that I worry about who the starter is from week to week, or game to game, or even from play to play. It's a committee of 5 at UF for 2022, and I wish them all well in doing their jobs.
Listed by class, not by their potential as a RB starter:
All 8 RB's (5+3) are now signed and enrolled.

From the article: "Johnson, a big-bodied bruiser who has a knack for shedding tackles, is a perfect fit for a power-heavy scheme."
TE 5-9 218
MJ 5-11 210
NW 5-9 201 - best all-around / most experienced RB
LL 6-0 205
DB 5-10 183
So Bowman is the only lightweight, and he makes up for it with cuts & speed...
How they settle out across a season is yet to be seen, but it should be interesting. I'm fine with whichever one gets the 1st start vs UU...
Steady rotation to stay fresh and hopefully injury free is a key.

Citrus Bowl - UK 20 - 17 #24 10-4 Iowa
#20 10-3 UK could have been the LAC-12 Conf-Champ.
Oregon in 2021: They only played 2 Top 25 teams in the regular season, UU & tOSU
Early Season - Gm-2, they got a miracle +7 win @ tOSU, (35-28)
Then #12 Oregon's win over #3 Ohio State snapped a 14-game losing streak by the Pac-12 against Top 10 teams on the road in non-conference games. The last win came in 2009 when No. 3 USC beat No. 8 Ohio State 18-15 at Ohio Stadium. It was also the Ducks' first win over the Buckeyes as they were 0-9 in previous opportunities.
Middle Season - Oregon lost @ freakin 3-9 #108 Stanford by a TD, 24 - 31.
Late Season - Ore 7 - 38 Utah
They finished the season with an ugly double-wammy.
Ore 10 - 28 Utah - LAC-12 Championship

"With Napier will come some changes to the team's offense this season. During his tenure at Louisiana, Napier's offenses ran the football 2065 times, while throwing the ball just 1,471 times." (S.I.)
(iG) That's about a 3 to 2 ratio, so a slightly higher run to pass offense @ ULL. That's not what I'd call a run-heavy offense, more like a run leaning offense. And while that might be the season ratio, in any one game, it might be altered due to the opponents defense or what's working best for the Gator offense on a given day. A smart offense is an adaptable offense, not one cast in stone....
What no one has seen from Billy as a HC before, is a roster with an AR-15 QB and top quality receivers to throw the ball to. And with SEC defenses staring you down in the box, you don't want to come into games with your opponent knowing what you're going to do, or they will eat you alive in the box....
The 2021 most productive receivers: WR xfered, TE xfered, RBx2 to NFL.
That however, didn't leave the cupboard empty by any means....

Sounds like a 7 pm game time for Utah. Its better for the fans but would have been nice to have an afternoon game and that even worse afternoon heat for Utah to have to deal with.
