It's about damn time. Game week.

While enjoying the O & D dominance, out of curiosity, we should pay attention to Powell when another
Gator catches the ball -- last year several times he'd come flying out of nowhere to throw a block to
help with YACs. I think he has "locked-in" dedication to Gator football excellence. Let's notice it.

We're gonna win

According to that, Powell will be the smallest outside WR in history?

Smaller than Quezzie? I think not. I don't like smurfs in the slot. You either have to run only outside routes or take the chance of them getting destroyed running inside where the 250 lb linebackers live.

TE hybrids or bigger WRs are better for the slot, IMO. You don't have to be super fast to beat a linebacker or a safety.

We aren't running toss sweeps or options with the slot receiver anymore. There is no reason to have the Creyer Era mindset that the slot guy is a smurf.

The first of many blow outs in the Swamp again.

This just in: UMass not very good.

What You Need To Know About The UMass Defense
Hardly a rock last season, now it’s going to take a rebuilding job to try doing even more with just three starters returning.

I'd like to see 80 or so.

 

[Wuerffel4Pres]

I'm ready! I'll be there! 16th row near the 50 yard line to be a part of the ceremony honoring the greatest Gator: Stephen Orr Spurrier.

This is the one guy they still have on the team that can burn a defense if he isn't contained.

 

[rogdochar]

Wow ! They've got a 392 lb offensive tackle.??

 

[AlexDaGator]

Yeah, probably. You can't play games in the rain anymore.

Rain, yes.

Lightning, no.



There's an app for that.



Alex.

 

[GatorJ]

Rain, yes.

Lightning, no.



There's an app for that.



Alex.

Unless the rain is so bad that it makes the field surface unplayable.

Had to be the shortest highlight reel I've ever seen.

 

[Durty South Swamp]

If this game sucks because of, or gets cancelled because of rain and stuff I may just

sick and tired of anticipating our home openers only to have either a slop fest disappointing game or a cancellation due to weather.

 

[LongTooth]

Worton has now been ruled out of the opener due to injury.
