Does Florida Suck this Bad?

[Snaggletiger]

I will call it like this, bammer beats them by 17 at least.

AU lined up and rammed it down the Cock's throats (It just moved when I typed that for some reason) for over 330 yards.  I believe Bama can just pound Ingram and Richardson at them all night and win by 2-3 scores.

I agree with all of the above posts, but I think USCe will be the best team that Alabama has played this far.  Let me explain.  Good Defense, Decent QB, great Running Back.  Any one of the teams that Alabama has played thus far is lacking horribly in at least one of those categories.

I still think Alabama wins, but probably by only 3 - 10.

I know this make come across has an Auburn homer but I seriously think that the only real test bama will have the rest of the season is we play them. The funny thing about that is some of the teams bama will have played are some of the same that will be test for us. Some of that of course is contributed to the fact we haven't beat those teams in a couple of years.

I could go with this. Like I said, Bama and AU are playing head and shoulders above the rest of the conference right now. I think it would be awesome to have two top 10 teams playing in the Iron Bowl for the West.....as long as we win.

I'm with Snaggle here. If we can ram it for 300+ yards, I see no reason why Ingram and Richardson can't do that and then some. Plus their D is a little better than ours and blitzing is their game. I don't see SC pulling this one off. They just aren't physical enough. As simp said, I really think we are the only thing that can MAYBE do something with Bama. I still think we are a year away from lining up with Bama and punching them in the mouth. We will have to use a little misdirection, etc ala last year. Just my .02.

Back to the subject of this thread:

I hope that Gene & Co. are taking notes on life after Tebow at UF. Life after Cam may be very similar in two years.

I think they are, he is called Kiehl Frazier.

True, but Brantley wasn't supposed to be a slouch. He's just not Tebow, yet UF is keeping the playbook the same as if he's still there.

Also Trotter aint slow of feet either. I get what you're saying though. Its almost like Meyer woke up and said "Oh shit, Tebow is gone". You can tell what their intentions are and that is Burton, Burton and Burton. Brantley is flopping and Florida has no RB; they have like one offensive threat with a shit load of "talent".

[Godfather]

and Florida has no RB

B-I-N-G-O

Give this man a cookie.  That is Florida's real problem.  See Tebow has been Florida's running back for the past 4 years.  Sure they have Demps who is a speedster, but when you play in the SEC, so is the defense you are playing against.  You can only carry the ball around end so many times.  Burton has talent, but he doesn't have Tebows size, he can't rush up the middle like Tebow could.  Case in point that 4th and Goal while a stupid decision, I think would have been a great one if TIMMAY was there, in fact he probably would have scored on third down. 

Florida is not built to be a come from behind team, bammer was able to pin it's ears back and put pressure on Brantley.  Florida fans were so high on Brantley and he has been ok, however they forgot he was never a starter in the SEC before, BIG difference!

Demps is the fastest College Athlete in the country - on a track. Yes, he has broken some great breakaway runs, but he doesnt seem agile or "game" fast like a Bo Jackson or Devin Hester. Just my .02. I think he is overrated. On top of that, he is banged up. He is very much to Fla like Tim Carter was to us or Holliday was to LSU.

I'll take a pot brownie instead.

All great points. This is why I hope they scrape by an back into the SEC game so we can whip their asses. I think Meyers is starting to figure out that those scat backs he cruited at Utah isn't gonna cut it in the SEC. He would be better off taking one of his LB'ers and letting him tote the rock some. Two points I would like to add to yours; Florida seems to have no team chemistry or do they have a team leader.

Bet they wish Cam hadn't gotten away.

had the exact same thought.

Really?  You've seen Brantley rush the ball the same amount of times, and on the same plays as Tebow?  Serously?

They are still running the option constantly, despite the fact that Brantley can't run or pitch the ball. He may not tuck and run as often as Tebow did, but the play book appears to be mostly unchanged. Let the man drop back more often than not.

This.  That's exactly what a sports writer that covers UF football said this morning on our local sports talk show.

Well that settles it...a sports writer said so.
