Is Mitchell 14?
And Bryce Thornton is on the verge of supplanting Mitchell at safety….
If so, that some bish will NOT hit or tackle any damn thing. He needs to be replaced IMO.

Obviously it's early in the season, but after the last couple of years it's absolutely beyond belief that UF has the #1 defense in the SEC at the moment.
If this even remotely continues throughout the year, Armstrong certainly deserves some kind of award....and raise.

The problem with Mitchell, it’s not his play, it’s his attitude. The opponent’s dangerous, but right now he’s worse. Dangerous and foolish. His recruiting profile says it all. Flies by the seat of his pants, totally unpredictable. I know he really is a cowboy, but who’s side is he on?

Kentucky will come out all fired up at home and smash the Gators in the mouth in the first quarter. But the Gators mental toughness will have them answering the challenge and weathering the storm. I see the Gators winning in Lexington and sealing the deal in the fourth quarter by adding an extra touchdown on a long drive by running down the clock. Not boring but imposing your will on your opponent.

General question to all, as I've not paid this much attention to detail...but has either side of the ball had to adjust in a game yet? Offensively, we know CBN's preferred gameplay, but when falling behind does he lean more to pass? Or is it simply run first, all the time? We have 1.3y of his offense to know this (tainted by what he could call last year given the talent). On defense, we've only had 3 games with AA, and I don't think he's been in a situation where he had to adjust. Seems the defense has been handling things well. Always room for improvement, but I don't recall any adjustments being needed. Anyone?

Once again, the return of Kingsley Eguakun has a positive effect on the run game.
The elite defensive stats of Kentucky prove to be fools gold that were acquired vs laughable competition (Ball St, Akron, E Kentucky, Vanderbilt).
Vs said teams Devin Leary is throwing at least 1 INT per game. No reason the skilled Gator DBs can't come away with at least 2 picks.
Gators hold UK to under 3.5 YDS/Carry as they have each opponent so far.
The crowd and defensive scheme of Stoops trip up UF a few times, but the offense does relatively well.
Smack delivers once again with 3 FG.
30-16 UF-UK (10 UF points off turnovers)

Good question.
IMO
Defense:
I thought the scheme needed to be adjusted with Charlotte's running QB. They were too aggressive on his keepers and had several "shoestring" type tackles after over pursuits. That's the only adjustment I thought should have been made but wasn't.
Offense:
He came out passing the first two drives against Tenn. Mixed in the run quit well. It looked like (imo) he passed to set up the run. That was against the cover two they played in the first half. Second half, when they stacked the box, he ran right into it.
To answer your question: I haven't seen either side of the ball make any noticeable half time adjustments. It looks like they both come in with a plan, then stick to it.
We are a really young team... so in game adjustments at this stage may be a bridge too far.
I'm not sure we have a true "identity" on either side of the ball.
Game 5 with a new DC and mostly a new team.

That would be great. We just do not know which team to expect, the one that spanked Tenn or that struggled last week. Can Napier get the team ready? Well, last season the trend was "no", but this is a different team, different and invested players. Teams take on their staff's demeanor so I expect D to be fast, and offense to have a slow start.
Post game "we had a plan coming in" is the worst. If kentucky loads the box and staff stubbornly tries to prove 7 can move 8 it could be very disappointing. We will not be out talented by KY, perhaps out coached. Hopefully a win, then some post game discussion that identifies how the offense appeared to be adjusted and progressing.
