Meh - Troy vs Boise State? Temple vs. ND? Pffft!
I see a couple of good games in there (the first two). BYU/LSU could be intriguing, as should aTm/UCLA.
Half of the games listed involved SEC teams.

We are Florida. We just hope we can keep it close for a quarter and maybe have one or two good offensive series.

:pumper::pumper::pumper:

If we do, it's still a moral victory and proof we are getting better and better.

I read a story last week that said "Week 1 could be SEC's best week" (for match-ups/games).

Bama vs FSU should be a good one and you might see a rematch later in the year.

Both teams are deep and loaded.

Still a pretty solid 1st week slate.

I agree. The first games on the list are good match-ups. The next 5 are nothing special for a season opener. Still, that's 5 good options on one of my favorite days of the year.

Beat Michigan and as far as I am concerned the season is a success.
:lol:

And if we lose, we still have the whole season ahead of us to go undefeated and get to the title game. Win-Win

My Gator football bucket list includes beating Michigan. That's practically #1 on the list. We're now 0-3 against 'em. I'd really like to get that W already. I'm speaking only for myself: A win makes the WHOLE season.

I hope you arent holding your breath.

The talent gap is twice what it was two years ago, and the coaching gap is just as one-sided.

Lot of folks around here bag on hardballs but the guy can coach, recruit, and motivate. And he's always looking to find that next niche to exploit, probably better than anyone else in the country minus little nicky at that. Can we win this game? If we come out and the oline blocks while the qb is completing passes then yeah, we can. Trouble is for 7 years we've been saying the same thing. Hope one of these frosh pan out and we surprise everyone.

LOL. I love that defense.

See, we are supposed to lose 4 to 5 games a year anyway... so they are still moral victories.
