It's entirely possible Cook's hammy could flare up again, but he just torched Miami the other night a week after he hurt himself.g8trs99;n296666 said:FSU- Cook will be hurt the entire year. You can't really heal a hamstring injury during a season without several weeks off. They will need him the next two weeks and he will continue to be hampered. They could probably rest him against Syracuse in three weeks, but I doubt they will. Then NC State he has to play. Mayber they rest him vs Chattanooga, but he will not be 100% when we play them. They may lose 2 games by the time they play us. If we score 20 we win this one.
g8trs99;n296666 said:Remainder of the season with Treon:
LSU- I think with Grier we had a better shot at winning. I look at a QB going and winning a game, and Grier showed he can do that. Grier went and won the UT game. Treon has not done that (please don't throw out UT from 2014). That was not an example of going out as a QB and winning a game. Concerning this year I think if the offense can stay on schedule and eat the clock we have a real good shot at winning. If LSU stops our drives and runs the football our defense will not be able to stop their running game by the end of the 3rd quarter. Hopefully Treon can put together some nice drives. - Toss up
UGA- They lost Chubb. Our defense should be able to put more pressue on their below average QB's and put this one in the books if Treon can score 21-24 points. Win
Vandy- Win
USCe- Spurrier leaving now only helps. They will be lost by the time they play us. Double Cooper and we win. Win
FAU- WIn
FSU- Cook will be hurt the entire year. You can't really heal a hamstring injury during a season without several weeks off. They will need him the next two weeks and he will continue to be hampered.

They don't play a ranked team until Clemson and that's either week 8 or 9. We are the only team they will face that actually has a defense. As long as we stay healthy there's no way we're losing to them in the Swamp this year.
If we can't move the ball on offense and have a bunch of 3and outs, our defense will eventually tire and start getting gashed by 4net. This could easily be one of those snowball games where it's sorta close early and then we just can't keep up any more.OcalaGator83;296884 said:If our defense can slow down LF, I still think we have a decent shot. I don't think their defense is that great even though Finebaum acted shocked when a caller to his program insinuated that yesterday.

Drake, I'm glad you are back.... sorry however that you forgot to bring your paragraphs with you.PaulDrake;n297062 said:First off let's get one thing straight....Finebaum is an idiot. Whatever he says isn't worthy of repeating.
Let's talk about LF7 first. UT ran up 280+ yards on us and we still won. We hold LF to 200 its possible we can win. We now have a coaching staff that will not get out coached. Spare me an opinion on that otherwise. Six games in its obvious as hell Mac knows and has game. Les Miles sure as hell isn't going to outcoach him. So on that front we're good. I'm convinced our defense is the best in the nation and that includes UM with their three staight shut-outs, and if you don't believe me look up who they shut-out. Though our D is the best in the nation they can still get gassed in a punt fest and then it snowballs against us. So with this I think we are IN POSITION to win this thing with LSU. A good gameplan by Mac and Coach Nussmieir playing to Treon's strenghts might be just what we need.
As for Treon vs. Will here's my take. Treon is a better athlete. His passes in open passing lanes are good enough to do the job. He's ok on reads, but nothing special. I've been reading a lot of crap on this board about Danny's marshemllow arm. Danny could read defenses like a book. He had the acuracy of a surgeon, the toughness of a marine grunt and ice water in his veins in pressure situations in his last two years. Those were overwhelming advantages for someone that wasn't able to deliever 45+ yard lasers. Treon on the other hand does not have the skills of Danny, Timmy, Rex, Chris or even Will. He'll never make those down field crossing route lasers that just kill D's like Will has demonstrated in the UT and Ole Miss game.
One other thing I forgot to mention he doesn't do....turn over the ball. My fear is, despite his 10 pt. come from behind win over UT let's not forget that was UT. Treon isn't going to bring us from behind OVER 10 points. WG has that capability. WG was a work in progress with a mountain of potential with unlimited possibilites with the right coaching. Right now Treon is at optimum with his athletic abilities. I'm rooting for Treon like crazy.
Is it unfair he hasn't demonstrated a capacity to put the team first over his own whimsical off field adventures? Yeah. But that's what were dealt with. WG just demonstrated the same. I don't know what lies in the future with this turn of events.
But it is possible WG never takes another snap with the Gators. He and Grier aren't Mac's guys. For all I know he may be a clip board guy for the rest of his tenure here. Who knows who he might recruit between now and next August?
The reality is this we have a much better coached team than last year. That's what we have and I hope its enough for a season to have some magic and high bowl aspirations. I'm an Orange & Blue bleeder and will be pulling for ALL of our guys with every fiber of my being. But I'm also a realist.
Can we win. You bet we can, anything is possible with this team. But the reality is we can still get blown out as well with a gassed D. Let's just hope Mac has it covered with a smart gameplan.
GO GATORS!
