***OFFICIAL GAME THREAD: UF vs Arkansas***

[Captain Sasquatch]

I hate the fact that they got an off week before hosting us after our big midseason rivalry game, but it is what it is.

No biggie. We're pretty healthy and good for the team's rhythm.

Dude they just got hammered 56-0.....the first thing that goes wrong for them in this game will send them into "Oh no, here we go again" mode.... The only thing we have to do is attack on offense instead of bulsh!tting around for the fist quarter and a half.....easy win with their creampuff defense.....

If we can stay healthy, especially on both offensive and defensive lines, I see no reason why we can't win out and get to Atlanta. The crims game will be a challenge, but we're due for a win there. We beat em in 04, and in 2012. We can certainly beat them this year. The key is playing disciplined football, and that's what scares me, because these penalties and unforced errors will eventually bite us in the ass. Stay healthy, play with total effort and discipline, and we can make a run and, at the very least, gain some respect and attention from recruits.

Are you going to be a little mad if Arkansas got rolled?

No and I don't understand the fear going on here....Maybe because I've watched them play 4 times this year but I see a horrible defense and a less potent rushing attack than they had last year when they also had a horrible defense. Now if we stumble on offense and don't pressure AA he'll scorch our safety's and make it interesting but otherwise this should be not much more than a walk thru with our huge talent depth advantage.....

 

[Left Coast Gator]

I'd love to beat LSU but I don't see that happening. With a little luck, I could see the Bengal Tigers beating Alabama in Baton Rouge. I think Auburn will also be a tough game for Bama. We definitely beat USCe in the Swamp.

 

[AugustaGator]

Opening line has us favored by a field goal.

They've played a much tougher schedule than us to this point. They've lost to the three best teams they've played, #1 bama, #7 aTm, and #11 barn.

We lost to the best team we've played, unranked tenerc.

I think we win, but I don't expect a walk in the park.

It will probably not be a walk in the park, but we should be in the game and can win.

The team just needs to do their job.

I read where the ARK OL is last in SEC in allowing QB sacks, and as Crete points out their running game isn't up to their usual levels. I predict our defense eats them alive, possibly even scoring once or twice. I just don't know anything about the ARK defense to know if our half-asleep offense can be productive. It's an opportunity, let's see if we answer the door.

 

[bradgator2]

We control our destiny to the SEC championship game. They better beat the crap out of these pigs.

 

[rogdochar]

Go Beat Arkansas !

Keep fresh D -- tire them out.

 

[GatorJB]

Statistically we match up well against them, and we have a more talented team. That said, this will be a tough road game. Arkansas fans really dislike Florida, and the pigs' players really need a bounce back win from two weeks ago. They will come to this game ready to play.

We keep seeing a bunch of ugly, frustrating wins for this team, which makes Florida football hard to watch sometimes. But I'll gladly take an ugly win on the road this week. I'm 31 years old and Arkansas has never beaten us in football in my lifetime. I'd really like for that streak to continue, especially with the East on the line.

An ugly win is always better than a pretty loss.

Arkansas averages 15 points a game? That can't be right

 

[MJMGator]

Well, we either win by double digits or our offense sucks so bad the defense totally gives up in the second half and we make another QB look like a Heisman candidate. Sadly, not one of us knows which to expect from week to week.

 

[aka]

Get up early, take the crowd out. Score..even if it's Eddie, get points, which helps the D and may make them press. Limit mistakes. We should win but doubt it will be easy.
