Game Thread ***OFFICIAL GAME THREAD: Las Vegas Bowl - UF vs Oregon State***

And that is the frustration Gator Nation has with Napier. We could have been 3-9 or 10-2. Napier is so strategic/system driven (IMO) he sacrificed games in order to build for the future.

Again (IMO) This is what gave us so many in the Portal. However, if this is the case, he'll be on thin ice next year w/o significant improvements.

That said, I'm still happy with the hire and that can change...But I doubt it. If our "D" is only 50% better (Ranked 50 or better Nationally) and our QB is more consistent with this OL and our RBs we go 9-11 wins or better.

Dean not being on the defense alone will put us in the top 30

We'll still have Toney calling the plays. So i expect modest improvement into the high 80s, low 90s.

We need to show up and beat the shcit out of Oregon st. I think a good showing here would go a long way. I actually think we can. We didn't have nearly as many opt outs as I thought we would.

Their QB doesnt look like much of a runner so i'm optimistic.

For me, it's definitely got a Bourbon Bowl feel to it. But it's time to get ready.

What time is the game?

BTW isn't this the first bowl game of the season? If true at least Billy got us to #1 at something....well a tie actually.

It'll be interesting to see how BN's plays this game. Does me use it to build to the future or does he use it as a way to reward some of the non starting/non NFL bound upperclassmen? Does he play to win or simply use it as a scrimmage like Mullen vs OU?

Seems like he would use it as an open tryout for expanded playing time next season. I'm sure Jack Miller, Kamren Waites and others getting the start see it as an audition. It is an exhibition game and the last on field activity until spring ball.

2:30pm on espn

And it's the 4th bowl game of the season thank you very much. Bahamas Bowl, Cure Bowl and Fenway Bowl go ahead of it, in that order.

Well who else could it be, thought everyone else opted out or hit the portal.

I’m hearing the announcer has been instructed to speed up the “herecometheGators” intro as the players come out.

Yeah, but, how do you REALLY feel about him?

Son #1 watches his show on YouTube... I've always enjoyed it when I've watched it.

I’d rather listen to Mcaffee than RG3,Mark Jones or Osweiller

Any word from practice whether Miller can throw worth a damn?

Yeah, Napier send out a series of tweets saying "JM cannot throw a spiral, passes cannot exceed 15 yards in distance, we're screwed"

As always, he’s one step ahead of you.
