We can practice tackling I guess. It's probably not going to help us get any better at it considering it's going to be a lot easier to bring down their ball carriers. First real game in the Swamp for the season is exciting. But we will get absolutely zero takeaway from this game. I would love to see Emory Jones tearing it up even if it's against a high school team. I was already a big EJ fan and every forehead slapping, dumbass thing that Franks does makes me like EJ that much more.

I want Franks to throw posts and flags

I want to see at least a half with Emory J
With plenty of short and medium passes

Tons of running plays

2nd - 3rd OL

Up- tempo 70+ plays

Tackling, Tackling, Tackling

It would be good to see Emory, but in view of FF's first game, how can that happen?

I think EJ gets some extended time not so much because of anything FF did or didn’t do but because we need to have him ready in case of an injury. EJ has been a good soldier, continues to work hard, and has earned those snaps. I think he will have some big moments if he gets the chance. Good game to get extended time for him.

On the other hand, FF looks like he needs all the snaps he can get.

Run blocking and tackling. The game should mimick the Idaho game last year. UT-Martin was 2-9 last year and is at best a middle of the pack FCS team. Not winning by at least 40 would be a big red flag. UT-Martin closes their season at UsucK as well, two big SEC paydays for them.

Why isn’t this thread in the blue promotion box at the top yet?
Because you committed a serious thread head violation. The visiting team is always listed first

We need EJ not just in case of a Franks' injury but for an offense that surprises the opposing D -- after they have figured out Franks' style of plays. After Franks gets flustered. Even if Franks sails smooth, CDM owes EJ his chances to develop, to shine. What is Trask like trying to implement Mullen's run-style QB? We can afford Trask to bash. This is what could make this game interesting = revealing the Gators coaching abilities, variables. What can Mullen do with all 3 QBs useable in this one game?

How whimsical is this : Kadarius Toney getting full fledged QB experience. Remember, Toney came to UF as a QB. In fact, Toney is the UF QB recruit with the highest completion % ever in UF history. Also, teach Toney to punt :D. Toney QB, Toney wildcat, Toney punter, Toney WR, else?
What DC is gonna know how to deal with that?

Shouldn't an official game thread have some facts about the game in the OP? Like time, location, maybe even what network is carrying it. And if you're better than a D student maybe you could add some facts about the opponent.

Absolutely yes or it should be deleted with next man up getting to post it instead. @oxrageous

Some of the projections I’ve seen on the hurricane, have it taking its time to get out of the state while dumping tons of rain. Hope this game won’t end up being in jeopardy come next Saturday.

No one gives a crap about this game.

Forget the fans. We absolutely need this game as a team. They need to be able to go out and have a warm up game to continue working out kinks, especially along the OL. There's no reason a program like UF should ever open with 3 straight P5 teams, only one at home. Hopefully Stricklin thinks it through when hammering out the '24-'25 games with um, or just cancels all together. Starting with them makes no sense.

But this would be 3 lost home games in 4 seasons. I know we have money, but financially that hurts.
