    The line is moving in Florida's favor right now. People are thinking USF can play with them apparently

    it is hard to bet against Florida with such a short line, how will USF score on a consistent basis?

    USF was giving up pts evenly to Stony Brook in the First half last week.


    Stony Brook? That sounds like a cozy apartment complex

    Theres an apartment complex 20 minutes from me called Stony Brook, LoL!

    On a more serious note, the Gators should handle South Florida with ease. The coaching staff will have the offensive line working overtime preparing for this game. I might add Florida to my plays.

    I'm with DU4L, after last weekm this game became untouchable. I know Pouncey vowed to correct the snapping issues but that's only a weeks worth of practice. The only thing the Gators have going for them is that they are getting 2 or 3 starters back for their o-line. I don't understand how Demps was so ineffective too. Brantley needs to stop checking down so often as well. I know his receivers were not coming up with the deep ball catches but he still needs to keep the defense honest and threaten them with a deep ball if they cheat up close.

    This game in all honesty has blowout written all over it. We have never played USF before and they have been saying they can beat and play with us for years, and with what happened last week and people doubting the Gators. Its just bad timing for USF to be playing the Gators.

    Well they were also asking Pouncey to pull too since the other starters were not playing. We will have the whole line starting this week and even our Captain Safety Will Hill didn't play last week, also Debose will be playing this week. UF will be at full strength

    Something that jumped out at me with USF.  They gave up a quick 14 points to Stony Brook and in the Leavitt era guys would've been screaming at each other.  Instead, they calmly went about their business and didn't give up any more points.  Holtz has already made an impact. 

    Intimidation won't be a factor for USF.  They went to FSU last year and won.  They played Miami as well, and in each of those games, they certainly weren't scared.  Most of the guys from USF and UF know each other so that helps.  The Swamp will be loud, but Daniels and co. have played in Tallahassee and Morgantown.  

    If I'm a UF fan, I would be less worried about the o-line mistakes which are fixable and more worried about what I perceive as a lack of playmakers.  Demps and Rainey are lightning, but they're not the sort of guys to take over a game because they're so little.  You can't pound them and punish a defense.  Moody is average and so are the receivers.  As for the highly touted Debose, he didn't see the field and Urban said he was healthy and available.  His hamstring must not be 100%.

    UF looked like shit last week + lookahead game to Tennessee + 95% of USF's roster is guys that got looked over by UF in high school and will play with a chip on their shoulders. THAT is what the public will see, along with a relatively recognizable name in USF as a big dog. I don't know if I will have the balls to play on Florida until I see them get it together for at least a game, but I definitely think UF should cover in this one. Urban Meyer and his staff will put a serious premium on the team putting together a good performance before SEC play starts next week, not to mention he won't stand for two consecutive shitfests at the swamp. I'm just tentative to play Florida, because everything I just said above is about the coach and not the actual players on the field, we don't really know how good Florida can be yet.

    Debose was a little banged up last week and was going to play the X behind Deonte last week if anything and the game just never came to that. There weren't many reps offensively in the game to be rotating guys, Debose is supposed to be back playing the Z this week and getting some carries.

    Also playing at UM and FSU is no comparison (venue and team wise) to what they will face this weekend.

      Florida looked sloppy, like many others this past weekend, but no need for people to panic. People basing their decision on how good they are by their performance against Miami Ohio will surely be costly.

    My larger point is, he's not there yet.  If he was ready to be a contributor, they would've gotten him on the field.  UF averaged 6.6 yards per completion.  But what better metric than Urban saying he didn't notice Debose never got in?  Playmakers are never invisible.  
    Another worry for UF might be the fact their leading two tacklers were a safety and a corner.  Granted, Ja Jenkins and Black may be their 2 best players, but Daniels for USF will expose linebackers out of position.  The Gator linebacking corp is comprised of underachievers and youngsters.  Also, the secondary lost starting CB Moses Jenkins.  His replacement is a Soph and the nickel back will be a true Frosh.

    I took the Gators at -15, at that number it is a great teaser game as well, get it down to -9 and bring Tennessee up to +20 at home.

    BOL!

    Well they said they will get Debose in the rotation for sure


    and the replacement for Jenkins was battling for the starting spot the ENTIRE spring and summer and is a 3rd year Soph. Also that Freshmen Nickel back happens to be a monster. Also don't think for a second that a guy like A.J. Jones is an "underachiever" he leads the pack and the guys that play are really good. Defense will be the least of the problems with this team and especially against USF. A qb like Daniels will try to run for his life when pressured and he is facing the last team you can get away with doing that. UF does a bunch of standing blitzes with the D ends, and that causes hell, not a lot has changed with the packages that Charlie Strong ran.

    First of all, it's not like UF is laying 6.  They're laying 15.5.  If they had beaten Mia OH 75-0 they would be laying no more than 17.5.  

    I'm not being a (cliche warning) prisoner of the moment.  I know UF isn't nearly as bad as they looked against a very bad team, but I had my doubts about the Gators in the pre-season.  They returned a ton of potential, but I can't remember the last time potential trumped production.  How much production did they lose?  

    They lost 4 of their top 5 receivers, a 1st round center, 4 of their top 5 tacklers, 2 top pass rushers and sack leaders, 2 INT leaders, their leading p/ko returner, all 5 captains, 5 JRs to the pros, their running backs coach, their cornerbacks coach, their D coordinator, and to top it all, UF lost their leading rusher and QB in Tim Tebow, only the most productive player in the history of the game.  

    The Gators replaced all that production with John Brantley, who looks like a fish out of water in their system and would've been a career backup had Cam Newton not transferred, a group of RBs who have never had 1000 yards or 100 carries or 10 TDs in a season, 3 WRs who combined for 48 catches in '09, a reshuffled o-line, DEs with a combined 2 sacks and 4.5 TFLs, rotating middle linebackers, and a d coordinator who had never held that title before.  On the bright side, most of the secondary, the punter, and the kicker are proven.  And they had a great 2010 recruiting class.

    You are obviously biased based on your avatar and tell Debose congrats on cracking the rotation.  I'm sure he'll be Percy Harvin #2 now that the coaches remember to put him in.

    Anybody notice how little Florida threw the ball? I thought their new QB Brantley was supposed to be amazing. I watched most of that game and was unimpressed with the play calling and the apparent lack of throws down the field to open up the defense.
    They had a total of 28 net yards going into the 4th qtr at home to Miami, OH.
    Are you fucking kidding me? Seriously that game was a joke and Florida looked like a team that shouldn't be in the top 50.
    Thought???

    You sound like you have a problem with this team. 

    The RB's coach was already at UF after he left the program I played for in 05 and was on the staff at UF for the 06 Championship. 

    Name the 4 "top" receivers they lost from last year

    I am on USF. Florida is not as good as last year.
    B.J Daniels will be the difference.
