I’m with you here Corey. Feel for Billy on building something and watching it get taken away for money. Just goes to show there’s plus and minus aspect to every job, no matter how much you are or aren’t paid.

On a cursive glance, there’s potential for this game to get out of hand for Miami. I’m thinking conservatively, 24-10 Gators.
The offensive game plan for Florida is obvious. Run effectively, go deep into the play clock before snaps and mix in low-risk passing to keep the Miami defense honest. Initially Miami will stuff the box and take it’s chances on pushing around a newly formed Gator offensive line. Franks and our stable of running backs are more than capable of making a defense pay for that strategy.
It’s not that hard for Mullen through the game plan and play-calling to minimize reliance on the line.
On the other side of the ball, I see Florida at a clear advantage. The Florida defense came back largely intact (especially with the same coordinator and scheme) and will make it a very tough day for a Miami offense led by sophomore Martel, or freshmen Williams to generate points.
Just how desperate Miami gets in the course of the game will determine defensive points, a factor I have not completely accounted for in a score prediction.

There’s been many a shade of blue used through the years. Now it’s a bit more official.

When you consider the talent (minutes) that left the team, a seasoned veteran like Blackshear can restore physical presence, experience and leadership in our front court. The importance of that, with all of the hot-shot freshmen coming in, can not be underestimated.
For the rest of the team, there’s nothing but change and transition going on anyway. That makes it a good time and situation for Blackshear to get in and be a key part of the team.
Just think, we can play big line-ups. Blackshear reminds me of Horford and his game. This is going to be an interesting year for Coach Mike White and Gator Basketball.

Young man far from home, I can see a lot of reasons for him to get back to the other coast where he’s known and will stand out on the field more.
Most of the roster attrition at UF is due to the high talent level we have in most positions. No matter how highly recruited the kid out of HS, we have more talented and capable players in front of most of them.
It’s difficult to come to UF and play as a freshman. That’s a good thing in my assessment. This year we should see a boost in the Mullen effect as players are familiar with the coaches, terminology and more knowledgeable of the scheme.

Nothing like a home state advantage. That’s why we must rule recruiting in Florida and seriously threaten in every one of our border states. It takes a bit of longevity for a UF coaching staff to develop the relationships needed to help make that happen.

It’s easy to look ahead. Our first game will be challenging for an o-line certain to improve with seasoning. We have experience, talent and depth in our other Gator units to lean on.

That’s a reasonable prediction. So is 10-2 for a Gator fan.
That puts a lot of pressure on the offensive line to perform from game one.

I disagree with making rules more stringent for transfers.
There’s a lot of money in college football for TV, advertisers and the schools. Most of these kids will only get an education. That should be from any school that will provide it to them for life, limb and playing time they provide.
A transfer can be good for the team. Lets get down to those that want to wear the orange and blue.

Nothing builds O-line confidence and coordination better than good run blocking. That’s the fastest way to get all these guys pushing together as a unit.
Over-defending the run will cause the Miami defense to be vulnerable to a late releasing Gator TE or Toney in the slot. We are going to see a lot more offensive contribution from these positions this season. Toney is going to fill the need for a Harvin-type role in this offense.

The Miami defense will be a significant challenge for the UF offensive line. There’s no doubt about that.
Coach Mullen will not expose them with over-reliance on pass blocking and long developing routes. With our stable of running backs, we’re going to run it right down their throats early and often with some quick outlet passing to keep them honest.
I’m anticipating a low scoring defensive battle. The most disciplined team wins this game. I think that’s UF.

It’s been so long since our players looked comfortable with a Spring offense. Consider the difference a few points per game average would make on the season.

Living with the calls is part of the game.
Have to grudgingly give Auburn and Pearl their due for making it so far in the tourney. Good showing for the SEC.

Georgia is the team in the East to beat to get to Atlanta and all that lies beyond.
