No doubt the Oregon/UGA game and Notre Dame at Ohio State games are going to get prime time love.

That ups our chances at having a noon or 3:30 kick, which would swing the pendulum our way big time.

There is no way they will have a Gator game that early in the day, that early in the season. People would melt.

8pm games
ND / OSU will be a Fox Game.
Oregon / UGA will be an ABC game.

7:30 ESPN game
Gators / Utah

Sorry, I just looked at the location of the Oregon / UGA game. That's in the ATL. They can play that at any time of the day.

All this 6-6 talk is hilarious. We win 10 next year and follow it up with a top 5 recruiting class. The Swamp will be absolutely rocking for the start of the Napier era and Utah won't know what hit them. Despite what some of our fans think, we have talent here that wants to succeed. Utah is a well-coached team and they won't be an easy out, but we can definitely win this game. Next season can't get here soon enough.

He has the off-season to heal, and it’s not an ACL. Also, we’ll see if CBN calls plays that favor AR-15’s skill set or if we have a square peg round hole scenario. At the very least, I doubt CBN will call plays to hamstring the guy who might prove him wrong.
Stop jinxing him.

Diabate to Utah.

Simple gameplan....run the ball straight at him, no matter where he lines up. He'll curl up into the fetal position.

Wanna bet whether Braun and White are licking their chops right now? Kinda funny that his first game with his new team will be at the Swamp. Coincidence? I think not.

First time I’ve ever rooted for a midday kickoff on opening week. It will suck for us, but not as much as those people from Utah. They may be all dead by the time We Are the Boys starts playing.
That's a good point....but you know those ass holes are gonna make it a prime time game :lol:

IDK, average high in Salt Lake City in August is 89 (Gainesville is 91), so not much difference. The humidity is what will likely cause the Utes to wither, day or night.

A noon kickoff would be brutal on the Utes. I will not miss that game and whatever the time. Hard not to be a homer but I just feel that AR will go off and Napier will have them ready to win this game.

One thing’s for sure. They’ll have never seen speed like Anthony Richardson.

Be prepared to lose week one. The odds of us beating a Top 10 team in our first game with an entirely new coaching staff and scheme aren’t great.

Utah will probably be a solid favorite, maybe by a TD or thereabouts. But preseason rankings really aren't much more than mental masturbation when you get right down to it and being in the top ten almost five months out means doodly squat. I'm not calling the "upset" (at least for now) but I wouldn't be shocked if we pulled it off. Much depends on how hard these kids work during the summer and how we fare in the portal. In the fullness of time, all will be revealed.
