Football UCF @ Florida...
- Thread starter Gator Fever
- Start date
If Napier somehow beat TN and KY he probably will get another season if we make a bowl game from what some people say.
And if we had been competitive in either one there would be some consolation.
The chances of that happening are less than zero, IMO.
They get a lot bigger though if we somehow upset TN. I don't think our curse on them is really applicable on the road anymore however since they won 2 of the last 4 games at home.
In their last game:
W - UF 24 - 13 UCF (-11)
L --- UT 14 - 19 ARK (+5)
NR UF 3-2, 1-1 SEC
#-8 UT 4-1, 1-1 SEC
Nothing more than the opinions of others, but here ya go...
Hummer (Florida +15.5) — Can Florida stop the run? It's the most important question to consider every week for the Gators moving forward. They were able to last week against UCF, limiting the Knights to 2.7 yards per carry. Can Florida carry that over against a Tennessee offense that ranks 12th nationally in yards per rush? That'll determine if Florida can hang in this game. I think Florida is playing much better than it was in early-season losses and the Vols are starting to show some concerning flaws with their pass game. The Gators keep this close enough to cover. … Tennis-sea 31, Flarduh 20.
Crawford (Florida +15.5) — Is there reason to worry for Tennessee after last week's stinker at Arkansas? The Vols whiffed on a major opportunity to not only move up in the national rankings following Alabama's loss to Vanderbilt, but have now made the situation quite sticky in the SEC playoff picture. Tennessee is have to, at worst, split upcoming games with the Crimson Tide and Georgia to finish with 10 wins and all but guarantee an at-large berth. Florida's playing better and I'll take more than two touchdowns on the road. ... Tennis-sea 35, Flarduh 20.

Vols can score points in bunches. Will be important to control the time of possession to have any chance. Shorten the game as much as possible. Which is what Arky did Saturday.
Through the many years of watching the coming game, the team that out rushed the other guy usually won the game.
We need to be able to run, to set up the short to intermediate (Mertz) passing.
We need to stuff their runs and make them one dimensional, then our DB's will need to do their jobs.
I'm pretty sure that they will have similar plans for the game.
Using Lagway more would likely help the Gators game, so we'l see....
EXECUTION BY BOTH GATOR LINES WILL LIKELY DETERMINE THE WINNER....
Yes, as is the case with any football game. Control the line of scrimmage you will win.
it's hard to imagine this game not being somewhere in between the 2 losses already.. They aren't going to stop UT running and UF will not be able to run the ball unless they can throw the ball first.. Napier will remind everyone of just how bad he is the next two weeks
If there's that chance Stricklin gets schitt canned from UF, and if Danny White ultimately replaces him, what are the chances White brings Heupel with him?
I think we either win a close game or get rolled. I think if it's close TN will blow this game. We need that QB to keep foolishly refusing to run even when he has a big opening to run. They might have beat Arkansas if not for him being hard headed on that.
Whatever it is I hope he keeps it up because we usually get tore up by QBs who can run a little and are quick to hit that opening.
