ESPN just spent their load on starting the ESPN Bet. Now they get to influence about it on TV as a 'sports news' and then rake in the money in the back with espn bet.
Diversifying revenue streams.

Agree.

How else can you explain them giving us a 51% chance of beating the Vols when we are not in their top 25 and Toothless is #10? A 51% chance of winning to me means a victory is barely expected; yet an unranked team beating the #10 team is usually considered an upset.

About 10 players non contact for the scrimmage.
As they probably should be. Some of them the coaches know exactly what they got with them and the goal is to get them to the first game ready to play.

Unconfirmed reports that Boone was carted off the field during the scrimmage. Would suck if true.
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — A projected starter on defense was hurt during Florida’s scrimmage, Gators Online has learned. Florida redshirt sophomore EDGE Justus Boone suffered a lower body injury near the end of practice on Thursday.

The severity of Boone’s injury is not known at this time. Florida coach Billy Napier meets with the media on Friday and will be able to address the status of Boone.

Boone appeared in all 13 games last season, finishing with 24 tackles, a TFL, a sack and a quarterback hurry. He unseated Princely Umanmielen as Florida’s starting defensive end for two games, making his first career start against Eastern Washington.

Dang. Was hoping Boone would give Prince a few downs to sleep and rest up. Wouldn't want him taking entire possessions off this year.

Supposedly Jack Pyburn has been a beast over the last 2 weeks. He finished it off with multiple sacks in the scrimmage.

Apparently, to no ones surprise at this point, Mertz got all the first team reps and looked sharp, but threw short and intermediate passes almost exclusively.

Mizell had this deep catch on a throw where he did not need to slow down for the ball (but against a walk on listed as a RB on our roster):



Passer?????



Brown. Still working third team though.

My point is, you guys may be absolutely right - he may be worse than Treon. I just think we should wait and see.
I’m expecting Brantley 2.0 . Hopefully he doesn’t actually catch his own pass though .
