I'm gonna make a statement that most around here will probably disagree with...

Trask is not the answer at QB! Nothing against him personally. He's been a stabilizing force and probably has provided the best QB play we've seen in years.
With that being said, Trask has another year of eligibility. I don't want to go into next season with Trask as our starting QB. We've hit a ceiling with him.

I say all this to say, Mullen should consider giving heavy minutes to Emory. I'm not in favor of benching Trask outright because he hasn't done anything to lose his job per se. But the team's ceiling is higher with EJ. He brings a dynamic running ability that's sure to help the run game. And his arm is pretty good. The major unknown is his decision making, but that's why I think he should get lion's share of time going forward. Out of playoff contention, I fully expect Mullen to go more to EJ. And hopefully he gets full drives instead of coming in during random times in the game.

I live in Jacksonville and I think, like with Minshew, fans want Trask to succeed and he's doing better than the QB he replaced. But none of that means their the answers at QB for their respective teams.
Mullen already named a starter for next season?
Who’s starting at left tackle?

Just come out pissed off, we will be fine.
If we couldn't get pissed for UGA, you think the Commodores are gong to do it?

This game is going to be uncomfortably close. The season is over and the players know it - getting up for this one is going to be impossible. Team is going to be flat as hell.

Lessons learned, like last year's debacle and what was lost there? The first quarter's performance against ugly should be on everyone's mind from top to bottom. He!!, the play calling was even predictable. Vandy is a rudderless ship that has broken away from it's mooring at the dock. We will prevail handily.

Is he Lamar Jackson? No.

EJ certainly has not the quick-reflexes of a Lamar Jackson. But, when he is 100% K.Toney is close to L.Jackson. Toney HS QB came into UF holding the highest completion % of any UF QB-recruit ever. I guess the bias against being shortish & lightweight immediately disqualified Toney as a UF QB.? (Probably if Lamar Jackson came here, he would not be tried at QB -- I believe he went to Louisville because other recruiters wanted him at DB.)

It has to be very difficult for EJ to showcase skills when he gets in like a "rental-QB". Still, when Trask isn't in there, we can't be sure of keeping a drive going. I admit, this is difficult to manipulate, but for the future's sake Mullen needs EJ to develop a fluid "style" while driving the field for TD after TD.... EJ is a RS-freshman, so he has at least 2 more years, if not 3 as needed.

When AR gets here, he likely will follow a similar slow-track as Mullen put EJ through.? Plus, with AR's injury and only HS experience, we can't know what we're getting.?

Debating whether to get three tickets together on ticketmaster or to try to get three together at the game. I'm thinking two together at the game would be easy. Three not so much. Thoughts?

You’ll be able to nab three no problem if you get there an hour before kick off. I’m a stubhub guy myself though

Gator D better wrap up that Vandy back that ran all over us last year = Keshawn Vaughn. Last year he totalled 1,299 yards and this year 790 yards so far. He's a speedy slasher.

Vandy's starting their 94th string QB who managed to throw for like 40 yards and 2 picks last week. I think the one touchdown Auburn had will remain the only opposing touchdown scored at the Swamp through 5 games.
