Ready To See If Napier Can Deilver??

[instaGATOR]

Today at UU, 88 degrees, felt like 92, with clear skies and wind 7-14 mph.
I think that you're putting too much on the game time Temps, it's really a NBD thingy imo.

The night game shadows and lighting will be a bigger deal for them, as the Gators are familiar with the night game lighting in the SWAMP.

Starts late afternoon hot and bright, going to slowly cooler as the game goes on, and funky as the night lighting comes on. Home for our guys, away weird for their's...

But all in all, the team that plays better and within themselves should come out the winners.

They don't have the humidity we do. It would be more of an advantage if the game was earlier. Hopefully we roll to a win regardless.

Well, a large percentage of our team is either freshmen or transfers, so have never played a night game on our field, and we only play 1-2 night games a year, so the returners don't have much experience with it either, but sure, go with that.

I'm not picking side on this one but the large majority (without doing the CPA mathematics) at or over 90% of our starting offense projected depth chart. has been here 2 years or longer (even AR-15). Depends who starts at RB makes the % go up and down.

On the defensive projected depth chart 100% of the starters have been at UF 2 years or longer.

100% of the projected specialist have been here 2 years or longer.

I haven't followed he Utah transfer portal but I'd assume 5% or under have played for UF or any opponent that played a night game at UF.

All that said, unless it is a very humid(probably will be) I don't see lights being an advantage or disadvantage.

I'd prefer a 3:00 kickoff vs Utah but I don't make those decisions. However, you, myself, Insta, and majority of us on here know a night game in September usually isn't a cool breeze kind of evening.

 

[instaGATOR]

Temps nor night game lighting conditions will matter much if any imo.
But what little matter there might be on those 2 items, is in UF's favor.

Team talent is large for 4 Yr combined team rankings with UF 12 vs UU 35.
UF's OL & DL have a large size and rated talent advantage.
Home Field is a standard +3 advantage.
UF has a huge (48) coaching support staff advantage.

Any opponent has some chance, but I wouldn't bet a plugged-nickle on UU's chances in the game.....

Just hope we are healthy going into that game. A big dropoff in some areas like the front four on defense with the backups.

Show the player stats/bio's that lead you to that conclusion....

Then a direct UF/UU match-up roster comparison considering depth and talent for both.

Otherwise, you're just blowin'-in-the-wind with more unsubstantiated fan opinion.
Those kinds of opinions are okay and everyone has a right to give them, but don't expect me to just accept the blown wind as fact or reality.... 😉

I watched the spring game and we have a mediocre pass rush with the backups. With Cox and Dexter in there that gives the offense some pressure on passing downs. They were in against the starters mostly also. I think against UCF in the bowl game some of the front four backups didn't look ready for prime time either.

Okay wid-me if you just want to go with the wind-blowin' fan opinions.
But let me give you an idea of how I look at things with my own opinions....

Athlon Preseason Top 25 Poll
PAC-12 -- 8. Utah,,, 9. USC, 10. Ore.
#8 UU plays #9 USC in Oct, and #10 Ore in Nov.

8. Utah Utes -- "A big test awaits the Utes in Week-1 at Florida." -- 247
Here's a rather obvious question for 247; how can they claim that unranked UF is a big test for the #8 Reigning PAC-12 Champ, when 6-7 losing season UF, is not even in Athlon's preseason Top 25.... 🙄

#8 Utah Utes - 2021 Rankings
Pass 153rd at 214.3 PYPG
Rush 21st at 216.8 RYPG
Total 63rd at 431.1 YPG

(The iG is putting 8 tight in the box, CB's in man, with Black or Burney on their TE-s)

2022 UU Roster Makeup:
Offense - 5 QB - 12 RB - 17 WR - 9 TE - 15 OL = 58
Defense - 17 DB - 14 LB - 21 DL = 53
Special Teams - 8 --- 119 Total

Their top 2 returning players, both are previous xfer-in's:

#11 QBpp Cam Rising 6-2 220 Jr **** .9096 - Newbury Park, CA - 2018 TX
2021 - P - 63.8% 2,493 yds, 20 TD, 5 Int + R - 499 yds 6 TD = 9-2 as the 2021 starter

#18 RB Tavion Thomas 6-2 238 Jr *** .8865 - Dayton, OH - 2018 Cincy
2021 - 1,108 yds, 21 TD's (against chump D's)

The 2021 10-4 PAC-12 Champs, with ZERO wins vs Top 25 teams (1), and only played 2 Top 50 teams. They lost in the Rose Bowl to an tOSU that didn't make the CFP and was playing without 24 of their 2021 players in the bowl....
=====

Unranked UF plays 3 Top 25 Teams in Sept. which is more than UU plays all season.
#8 UU, #18 TN, #21 UK
Oct - it's Mizzou, LSU, and #3 UGly
Nov - it's #5 aTm, SCa, VU, & FSUcks

UF will play 5 Top 25's, with 2 of those being in the Top 5.

247 Projects UF vs Kan in the Liberty Bowl

SEC's in the Top 25:
1. UA
3. UG
5. aTm
-----
18. TN
21. UK
22. Ark

I expect to see a lot of ranking shifts and adjustments across the 2022 season.
And I'd bet the farm that UF won't be playing Kans-ass in the Liberty Bowl....

Coach Napier said quality depth was clearly our most glaring issue so he might not be as high on some of those backups right now as you are. He did say our starters should be able to match up with almost anybody though.

 

[instaGATOR]

As to the O&B game....

The offence did well, 32 points.
The defense well, 0 points.

While the defense was not going full vs our offense to protect the players.
I'd not put too much on what the D did in that game overall.

IF Utah beats the Gators, then I'll take my lumps, and I'll give Nappy some lumps, but until them, I'm just not that worried about the Utes.... 😉

Unlikely. The spring roster shows 16 kids total going into their 4th or 5th year of eligibility (been playing 3 years or longer), and 9 of those are transfers. Maybe you should leave the math to CPA's.

See, Insta is trying to use basketball logic for a football situation. Sight lines do matter in basketball, as they can interfere with depth perception shooting the ball, and when you play 15-20 home games a year, you can get accustomed to them. But when you play 1 or 2 games a year at night? Not so much.

Here's little insight for you. If you ever find yourself arguing Insta's side, doublecheck yourself, because you aren't thinking straight.

TE Keno Zipperer entering his 3rd year here.

QB Anthony Richardson. Entering his 3rd season at UF.

RB...as stated depends on who will be named the starter. If it's Montrell Johnson...there is you 2nd guy with less than 2 years at UF. If it's Wright or Lingard. Both are going into their 3rd season here. If it's Bowman, hats off to you for 3 players that have been at UF for less than 3 years.

CB Jason Marshall Jr is the lone guy on the projected starting defense that has been at UF for only one season prior to this season but still has a night game under his belt. Lee, Dexter, Cox, Princely, Dean, Miller, Burney, Helm, Torrance,Johnson. All two or more experience wearing the Orange and Blue.

LS Ortiz has been around for 4 seasons
P/H Jeremy Crawshaw will be entering his 3rd season in the Orange and Blue.
K Chris Howard would have been going into his 3rd season but hit the portal. So there is 1 that will be a newbie
RS JaMarkis Weston going into this 4th season of being in Gainesville.





Regardless I don't think being experienced under the lights at The Swamp matter.

Just as an FYI, entering your third year is not the same

Just as an FYI, entering your third year is not the same as having been here 3 years.

Let me clarify. Majority of the projected starting offense, defense, and specialist have had two seasons at UF. That put them at playing under the lights in The Swamp at least 3-4 games. I'd have to go back and look at which games were under the lights in Gainesville in 2020 and 2021. Add in some that played night games in 2019 and even 2018.

That's more than any Utah player ever played in a night game in the Swamp, unless they have a player that is on their roster that transferred from UF or an opponent that played against UF in a night game.

All useless though. I'm in agreement with you that it doesn't matter. Small advantage if any of having a few games of experience playing a night game in Gainesville. The advantage will be the home field. The crowd. The time zone change. The heat. The humidity. The overall experience. The speed The talent. The play calling. The matchups. The size. The strength. The conditioning.

My guess is Wright and Johnson are the 2 best. Bowman is probably a 3rd down type guy.

Lingard - power (consistency?)
Bowman - speed (fumbles?)
Etieene (looking forward to seeing what he can do at Fall camp)

Here's a taste of over-rated Utah:
They only played one team in 2021 that was even ranked in the Top 25, #15 and they lost to them.
And in the LAC-12, two 9-4 teams played for their Conf. Championship....
How many times has a 9-4 SEC team won the SEC-C???

Napier is just another Chump, Mac, Mullen

You're new to this thread, so I'll just refer you to the above post #91....

Here's a taste of over-rated Utah:
They only played one team in 2021 that was even ranked in the Top 25, #15 and they lost to them.
And in the LAC-12, two 9-4 teams played for their Conf. Championship....
How many times has a 9-4 SEC team won the SEC-C???

I didn't say they were SEC champion material, just that their style is what our conference used to be known for before first round QBs began lighting up the scoreboard on an annual basis. The SEC East has sent some below level teams the last decade to Atlanta. We unfortunately filled that spot a few times along with Missouri.

This year Billy will get a great litmus test in his first game as head man. No New Mexico State, Florida Atlantic, or Akron. You gotta admit it's kind of exciting to have a potentially great opening day opponent rather than a cupcake.

I doubt that but he can't be compared to Mullen even if he doesn't pan out as he at least puts the work in.

Do you think that because of the offense he has ran as a head coach?

Yep the first 2 games will tell us a lot.
