LSU couldn't line up and run the ball in the game. Early they were actually doing pretty good against UCLA run game. They better be able to run the ball some when they start SEC play or it will be a long season. Knowing my luck LSU will have corrected that by the time the Gators have to play them.
The Gators schedule this year....
- Thread starter fsu939913
- Start date
How did you feel the Gators played? I've heard mixed reviews from some friends. I dvr'ed the game and watched some this morning. Seems Emory was playing great but the run game should be good
We would have got rolled almost as bad as Miami if we had played Bama yesterday I think. Wasn't impressed much except for those Newton like runs Richardson had in the game.
I am starting to think Jones is limited as a passer and is prone to forcing things. Non-Richardson running game I am reserving judgment because that FAU front 7 with those 3 freshman starting was clearly undersized.
As far as the defense I wasn't impressed because most of the good plays came from their QB deciding he was going to be a statue and not throw the ball away.
South Florida is really bad but if they have one thing better than FAU its their front 7 on defense as they held up for a while against NC State until the offense had basically given the game away. Curious to see how our O line looks against them early in that game.
On offense, Jones looks like a guy that can move us efficiently between the 20's. Need him to be a guy that can get us all the way to paydirt.
On defense, the slowdown on offense certainly helped the defense, but mostly it was the same old Grantham story: His defense only works when they can't block us. So we kill the sisters of the poor, and get rolled by those with talent. Watched what Georgia did, and when they brought pressure, they came up tight on the receivers so there weren't any easy throws. We did the same thing we always do, blitz two guys while running a soft zone so there are lots of open hot routes. FAU is a poorly coached team with a bit of talent. USF is about the same. Bama is a well coached team with great talent. I never think a game is hopeless, but that one is close.
Yep not much faith we can beat Bama. Just going by yesterday I think KY could be a close game if turnovers were about even and Jones is the starter.
Did you record the game? Some people are claiming Jones could have had a pick 6 in addition to those 2 picks if the defender held onto the ball. I don't remember that play myself.
Was Emory missing some easy throws? I know someone on the team and they told me he practices well but will miss easy throws that shouldn't be missed. That was about a month ago tho.
I don't think he was missing easy throws (just throwing it to well covered receivers on those 2 picks) but don't really remember any throws where he had to have some touch on the ball or throw the receiver open either.
NOTE --- To those with their heads nailed-to-da-flor....

So who ya got as your most talented back, not the starter for 2021 but the guy with the most potential?
I would say it's Demarkcus Bowman followed by Lorenzo Lingard. I don't know if Lingard ever lives up to his 5 star potential but I think Bowman might have a few seasons as the starter even if that doesn't start in 2021. Who do you guys think will start this season? Will it be Bowman, Lingard...

Miami the best team in the state?? LOL
UF is better than I thought I admit that. I thought UF and Miami would both struggle mightily on D but it's Miami who seems to have no improved while UF is serviceable. Both teams could finish 8-4 though but UF is better easily and more likely to win 10
How do you see Mullen having Kirby's number? Last year he beat a Georgia team that was missing Jordan Davis and starting a 4th string QB... and he got hurt, which meant Georgia had to put in Dwan Mathis who hit someone in the side of the head while warming up on the sideline. Mullen is a great coach but I wouldn't call 1 win against Kirby "having his number".
4th string QB?? He was 2nd string at worst and when JT Daniels didn’t play the other day he started. Let’s not get carried away and go over the top either. Don’t forget UF didn’t have Kyle Pitts for the entire 2nd half if we are going to play that game.
I was referring to Dwan. After game 1 against Arkansas that's all we needed to see of him. Sure as hell didn't want to see him against Florida going toe to toe against Trask. Anyway, Florida took care of business last year like they should have, but these are 2 completely different teams compared to last year
I agree about the different teams part. But looking at the matchups, it will be interesting to see how you defense stops the run against us. Your defense has been really good, but it seems to be best at stopping the pass. If we can get the ground game going, run the clock and limit your possessions, I like our chances.
QB-dt Anthony 'AR-15' Richardson 6-4 240 4.5/40 did not play vs Bama.
2021 Backup -- Rushing 2 TD's, L-80 -- Passing 2 TD's, L-75
I don't see anyone, especially UGly fans, noticing that UF just played #1 Bama without our starting QB on the defense, who is likely out for the season. (injured vs USF, had arm surgery last week)
MLB Ventrell Miller 6-1 226 rsSr - SEC Fall Academic Honor Roll
2020 - He led the team in tackles with 88 and added on 3.5 sacks and 7.5 tackles-for-loss
Named SEC Defensive PoW after Ole Miss game where he collected 15 tackles, 2 tackles-for-loss and a sack.
~~ That's no small loss for the aggressive Grantham defense....
Don’t forget your schedule also has this years national champ on it ….. Georgia
I sure do love that badly misplaced arrogance. Or, wait, did you replace ish for brains Smrt when I wasn't looking?
And last years NC, and the year before that, and the year before that.
Going all the way back to that media-moron VOTED one in 1980 ....
Always amazes me how many teams decide to play their superbowl against us for the year.
God I do love the Georgia excuse that they had 26.8 trillion players injured that couldn't play last year in Jax. Just gotta love that.
Dan Mullen has Kirby's number for two simple reasons in my book. 1. Dan Mullen can read. 2. Dan Mullen is an actual football coach, not just a guy who employs bagmen to go buy him the best roster in college football.
Georgia fans are about to learn the hard way on that second point now that EVERY team in the NCAA is allowed to pay their players. There goes Georgia's one and only advantage.
Screenshot. For posterity. Filed under "@TaylorDawg03 Spouting stupid shit."
Missouri or UK weren’t ranked in the top 25 and nobody around here were claiming they were great or relying on them to carry the conference reputations like UNC, Miami & Clemson. I’m not really following you here on this one?? UNC and Miami aren’t even in the top 25 anymore.
Dude, I know you like these silly games. Don't play them with the mod. He's a good guy, very fair, but you have a knack for REALLY pissing people off. Word to the wise, all I'm sayin'.
Bama is also learning that they can't just roll out the cash and get whoever they want anymore. However, they have put so many guys in the NFL, and won so many titles, they still have compelling reasons for choosing to go there. Georgia has neither. The next few years will show us if the Dwags have been buying players. If their recruiting falls from the elite #1 level it has been at, even to mid top 10, that is all the proof you need.
Yeah not quite sure where he was going with his comment. Really didn’t make much sense at all not a very logical comment.Miami, UNC & Clemson were supposed to be the class of the ACC.

Honestly, if Kirby keeps playing Bennett we have no chance of a national title but If JT can get healthy it’s ours to lose imo
Daniels is obviously better than Bennett, but I don't think he's the world beater the Dawgs think he is. I reckon we'll see in Jax.
I was referring to what we both said would be tough games. Miami unc and Clemson have all shit the bed, they are just not good this yr. I thought UNC would be much better and king being hurt still has Miami back to losing to Fiu and LA tech. Acc is way worse than expected but a few teams are better than expected (wake and NC state). Mizz is pretty bad but UK looked pretty good and is undefeated, ACC is much worse than I thought

I've been talking with Paco for almost 8 or so yrs. He is a good guy and very fair. I don't disagree with any of that, conference bantering will always happen. If Paco tells me not to do something, I have no trouble complying. I mean no ill will towards you guys, I like talking football. He has asked me to stop saying things in the past and I have.
Well at this point I’m not sure schedules matter too much unless you are trying to see who is deserving of the #3 & #4 teams. It is Bama and UGA and then everybody else. Good chance those 2 teams end up playing twice. Once for the SEC title and again for the national title. Whose even the 3rd best team in country using the “eyeball”’test? Iowa? Cincy? There isn’t much that I can see.
I would probably go with OSU despite their loss to Oregon.
You may be right about a possible rematch as they are taking the loser of that game if both are undefeated over any non-power 5 and even if there were 4 one loss or better champs they go over a 1 loss Big 12 champ probably.
I have no idea who the 3rd best is, seems to change every week. Cindy looked good yesterday but do they play that grueling schedule to test them week in and week out? I'm not sure. Georgia unfortunately looks like the best team, I think they can beat Bama. Going to be a fun game watching those 2. The only thing with UGA is that will hold them back from winning is the coach and QB.
I normally hate this argument and disagree with it but I think it's clear who the best 2 teams are through 5 weeks and unless that changes, I could see this happening and wouldn't disagree. However, if UF beats UGA or anyone else beats UGA, and then Bama beats UGA, I could see the argument of them being 4th or being the first one out (similar to Tamu last yr). Depends on what everyone else does tbh.
All hell would break loose if they took a 2 loss Georgia over an undefeated BYU or even Cincy probably. ESPN had talking heads pushing for that some years back but I don't see that happening. They would get a lot of flack just for taking a 1 loss non-champ over a 1 loss champ which has never been done before.
Bennett has no business taking one snap at UGA. The talent gap between he and JT isn’t close. Kirby has had QB issues ever since he’s been here but JT is plenty good enough to win it all
Arkansas is better than Auburn. What I’m getting at with Bennett is we can not beat Bama with him at QB. We need to get Vandagriff going as soon as possible
