UF 28
Mizzou 20
Our D can't stop GHS. Gators win but won't cover.
Maybe we couldn’t stop Buchholz but we could definitely stop GHS. Apparently you haven’t seen GHS play this year. They’re awful.
Buchholz (and QB Creed Whittimore) beat them 49-0 last night.
Please... Not the "No real gator" argument again. Lots of "real gators" predicted lots of losses over the last 12 years. And most of them were right.I think our defense is going to surprise us this weekend (prayer should help). The offense will score. No punts for the Gators (prayer would help). Good guys 49. Other Tigers 17. Ox has the pick 'em figured out. No real Gator would ever pick an opponent even with a 100 point spread.
Not that I didn't believe we were going to lose or not cover. I just cannot pick against the Gators. I need counseling I guess.Please... Not the "No real gator" argument again. Lots of "real gators" predicted lots of losses over the last 12 years. And most of them were right.
I watched that game as well and I'd just add that Georgia looked flat on both sides of the ball. They got pushed around, took bad angles, and missed several tackles. I have no love lost for them, but give them their due: they did not look like the dwags we are used to seeing. On O, Bennett looked as bad as I've ever seen him play. I live around a bunch of their fans - one of the downsides of living in this state - and the ones I talked to all felt the same way. I find them generally to be pretty knowledgeable fans and they credited Mizzou for their game plan and effort, but all felt pretty much their team more or less slept walked through the whole first half.I was shocked to see how tight Mizzou played UGA last week(yes I actually watched the whole game and not just the score like I think some in here did)
They matched up physically VERY well until midway through the 4th quarter. Bennett had a terrible 1st half though which helped give Mizzou momentum but Mizzou also drove the length of the field on UGA's defense almost every time they had the ball, they just kept kicking FG's which bit them in the ass in the end.
I don't bet on UF or predict scores because it always seems to be the kiss of death but IF we win by the amount some are predicting then we will have certainly turned the corner in a pretty positive way. I see this as a huge game for us this season.
I didn't feel UGA's defense was that off in the first half(their offense was)just more that they weren't 100% prepared for Mizzou. Mizzou physically pushed the ball down the field on almost every drive just couldn't cash in. If they keep our defense on the field like that it might make it hard for our offense to find their groove and get the crowd into the game(sometimes a problem with nooner's anyway)I watched that game as well and I'd just add that Georgia looked flat on both sides of the ball.

If we can't beat Mizzou, I'd feel no great confidence against USCe.I didn't feel UGA's defense was that off in the first half(their offense was)just more that they weren't 100% prepared for Mizzou.

I think all of this along with our current record makes this game pretty important looking at the rest of the schedule. I see most of the teams we play being pretty close to toss ups (LSU, TAMU, FSU).....pretty sure we take the Vandy & USCe games.
You aren't going to be watching anyway.We may be begging for Aaron Judge cut-ins.
I'll be recording but I might poke my head into the live broadcast. 12:00 games are safer than afternoon or night games.You aren't going to be watching anyway.
This may be the best post Goon has ever made. Very proud.
