UK turned the ball over like it was their job against CMU, but tightened up and pulled away in the 2nd half. Apparently they have a decent defense. I think their window of opportunity to beat us for a while closed last year. Fans got a taste of what Mullen can bring to this program, so I think the Swamp will be packed and rocking this weekend. Can't wait!

Go Gators....play like you’re capable of doing and not like you’re capable of doing.

 

[Gatordiddy]

I’m looking forward to seeing our defense at full strength.
I have a feeling our d-line will be spending a lot of time in their backfield.
Mr Polite will be anything but...

Sas makes a brilliant point, as usual. The CROWD I think is going to be a bigger factor at home than they have been in years. I was amazed how loud they got during CSU, and that wasn't even a full house. If the fans can get excited again, we could actually have a home field advantage for the first time in a decade!

Florida will be pumped like we haven’t seen since the Ole Miss game. Even though it’s Kentucky, it’s the first game to really impose their will against a conference foe and see what they are capable of. I have a feeling we see a different O-line and the run game will be a bigger factor in this game. Ivey should be getting chewed out as I type this. Cece is back and the rest of the suspended players. We’ll see a little more creativity with Tony in the Percy position. I’m excited to see what real progress this team has made since last year. Thomas Goldkamp wrote a good breakdown of the game in his Game Grade article, and Florida knew what they wanted to do, and went out and did it. Hardly any mistakes or penalties was a great thing to see.

Happy surprise from CSU game- Freddie Swain. It was great to see him out there making big plays finally.

I'll be there to make sure everyone in my section is getting as crazy loud as possible. Can't wait!!

UK is going to test the middle of our defense. They've got a good running game. It's the strength of their offense right now. And with Reese hurt they're going to try to get at our LBs.

Time for our OL to step up and play big boy football ... if they can.

I was pretty quiet at the game. I think Sonny's BBQ on Archer Rd poisoned me before the game and I was afraid if I stood up and cheered I would chit my pants.

1st time I’ve been excited to see a game in 10yrs it seems. We have a plethora of playmakers and Toney will be back to add another. With average OL play how do we not dominate? Cmon trenchers pancake some Fockers.

So should we come out slinging or try to ground and pound? Sure seemed like last game plan was sling it, working on executing what we sucked at last yr while playing a cupcake.

Go Gators

Kentucky brings a new QB into his first road SEC start, at night, in the Swamp and against a highly motivated Gator team.

They had more question marks coming into this season than UF, which is saying something, and have an overall lesser pool of talent to answer them. The only advantage they have is an established staff and system, but neither are great.

UF seems hungry to me; hungry to prove themselves worthy of the “Gator standard”. They seem to have bought in to Mullen and playing for each other. Franks has everything to prove after his performance against them last year. Kentucky won’t catch them napping, so I don’t think it will be close.

UF 34-10

Good move.

I actually saw it happen to a guy in the very first row at the UF/Bama game in '06. He was drunk beyond reckoning and had to be led out by police as waste streamed down his legs and left a trail going up the steps toward the section entrance. Most embarrassing and disgusting thing I've ever seen happen to an adult in public.

It was my wife's first football game, ever. We were dating at the time and I told her she could go back and tell her family that the first Gator game she ever went to was so exciting that people **** their pants.

Heard that Toney and some other guys might be suspended for another game due to the airsoft shenanigans.

So you chose not to express yourself?

Ugh...

Sniggety Snap, gonna crush dem kitty cats.

 

[ChiefGator]

Let's hope it does not take another blunder by them for us to win, and that the game will be in hand so some backups again get some reps. Also no stupid penalties we were lucky last week.

I’m pretty ok that you didn’t come by the tailgate.

Scarlett still starting. Davis/Perine at #2.

Love those dudes but I want to see what Pierce looks like running behind the first string line. Beast Boy.

WR depth is great.

Nice problems to have.
