The second season of “The Pat Dooley Show” will tape on Wednesday which means I need a question for Dr. Football’s e-mail bag. Just think, your question could be read to the tens of thousands of people who click on the web site to watch the show.
OK, forget that incentive and just deliver some questions.
Here’s five:
Who will be Florida’s leading receiver?
Who will have more combined rushing and receiving yards, Rainey or Debose?
Who will start more games at middle linebacker, Jenkins or Bostic?
Which top ten team is most likely to finish the year unranked?
Which team currently unranked is most likely to go to a BCS bowl?
Do you think a Gator win against the tide in the regular seaon would put more pressure on the team than a loss and a rematch in atlanta?
Dr. Football, Do you hear anything about Andre Debuse and weather or not he will be able to fill the “Percy” position?
How many different ways do you think Trey Burton will be utilixed and where will he be most effective?
“Bo” Hyde
Last year we heard about Joe Haden taking some snaps at quarterback–presumably to make opposing teams gameplan for the possibility. Do you think any of the things we are hearing this year is all talk? Like Burton playing a hybrid full back or Hines playing TE?
Dr. Football, on a team that will already be starting half of UF’s NCAA champion 4X100 meter relay team, how big a role would you predict that Andre DeBose will play this year?
When is Nixon likely to return?
Are the coaches really worried more than usual, as they’ve indicated early last week, or are they really happy with this team, as they’ve indicated at other times this preseason? I suspect it’s some of both.
UF got a highly-rated recruiting class this year that should provide valuable depth. Who from the freshman class do the coaches believe will make the biggest contributions this football season?
Can you really go 6-2 in the SEC with mostly freshmen and sophomores?
Who is calling the plays this season? Didn’t Loeffler do it in the Sugar Bowl? If so, should he be doing it again? And again? And again?
What’s your take on the new DC? Is he large and in charge or a quiet detail guy? Is he a bend but don’t break type or a get-after-them blitzer?
Will Andre Debose step up and become the next great Gator playmaker?
How will the DE’s compete n SEC play?
Will we miss Dunalp?
How good is Janoris Jenkins? Is he as good as the hype and is he going to be able to put Green and Jones on Jenkins Island?
College football is rooted in tradition. With Urban Meyer entering his sixth season and the Spurrier era long gone, what will people say about the Urban Meyer era before and after this season?
It seems from the past years, Florida loses to a west school at home, with that in mind do you fear Alabama there or LSU in the SWAMP?!
My wife and I celebrate our 18th wedding anniversary on the day of the SEC Championship game this year. I know the first year gift is supposed to be paper. Isn’t the 18th year supposed to be hotel reservations and tickets to a football game? I was hoping to surprise her this year with my thoughtfulness.
Pat,
I’m a member of the Rocky Mtn. Gator Club. Please forward this info to Percy Harvin. I have a friend whose wife suffered migraines for years. Nothing relieved them until she tried a product called Protandim, which has been researched at UF. Go to http://www.lifevantage.com/winston to learn more.
What’s your guess as to the ratio of run to pass in this years offense?
Dr. Football,
Out of the new coaches in the SEC, who do you see having the better year and why??
Does John Brantley have “it”?
A question about a former Gator. I watched the Cincy game the other night. Carlos Dunlap looked slow-footed, uninterested and outright LAZY on almost every snap. I heard the rumors, but was he actually this way while at UF also?
Will the Gator speed backs have sufficient power to bull their way for first downs in short yardage situations for which we depended so desparately upon Tebow in past seasons. Who will be the bruiser in the crunch? The answer to this question on the field of play may be what makes or breaks this team’s chance for an SEC Championship much less being a National contender!
Will Pat Dooley come and speak at the San Diego Gator Club next year? You would be surprised how many members we have!
Question.
I watched the Plant- Manatee game on Friday night.It sure looked like Blakley is a much better back than James wilder. Are we going after this kid?
Do you think the agent issue was a red herring in Meyers decision to close practices?
Is Debose the next Percy Harmon?
At Florida a true freshman will play if he is good enough. Isn’t that fact also an excellent recruiting tool?
Pat, what has been the most impressive thing you’ve seen from this team so far?, from just watching the spring game, and hearing from the coaches and players.
Why does Ole Miss have to change their mascot and others remove any reference to The Confederacy, yet,the NY Yankees get a free pass? Hmmmm. Yankee is extremely offensive to me and my heritage.
What is the number one suprise coming out of training camp and what has changed, clarified or reinforced the coaching staffs’ perception of this years Gator squad heading into the season?
If brantly goes down for a few games, who plays QB for this team? The backups are 2 freshmen who werent highly recrutied and a coverted QB/TE. It seems like we wouldent have a drop off in our backup QB situation like this with all the good QB’s in florida highschool football.
We can afford to use all the freshmen on our team this first week, after this week the compatiton realy heats up[USF beat FSU just last year] How many true freshmen will be relied on bye week 5[bama]? my best beat is Matt Elam, as the nickle or 3rd safty in our 3-3-5. Whats your bet Mr. Dooley?
How short of a leash is Tyrell Austin on? If we drop to the middle of the pack on D this year, the GATOR fans arnt gonna give him any slack! he has ALOT of talent to work with.
Since Miami (Ohio) returned its allottment of tickets, who has a better chance at a home-opener sell out: UF, with the 900 returned tickets? Or FSU, with 15,000 tickets remaining?
With his Tebow-like competitive fire and toughness, not to mention is athleticism, speed and versatility, will Trey Burton become Florida fans’ favorite first-year offensive player, or will it be Andre Debose? Why?
I heard it from my Georgia friends all the time, “We hate Brandon Spikes but; I wish he played for us. The question is, who will take over the leadership and “nasty” role on this years D?
I bet my chili is better than yours.
Much of our recruiting efforts have seemed to be out-of-state lately. Do you think that is wise given the transfers recently of out-of-state freshman? Isn’t there plenty of talent in the South East?
I would like to know what the run game will look like. What type formations will we run out of and do you think this will be the area where over the season we can expect the greatest inprovement?
Would the Gators go 2-0 vs Alabama this year or would it be 1-1 (losing at Alabama in October and then winning the SECCG in December or winning in October and losing in December)? Please tell us your prediction Dr. Football. Thanks!
Who will lead the gators in receptions this year? Who will be the leading rusher this season, and is Addazio capable of calling the offense this year?
Will the Pat Dooley show hire Renee Gork?
If Chris Rainey has a big game this week, do you think he (or we) will be rewarded by the lifiting of his own private media blackout by Coach? Free Rainey!
Ooops…for next week: If Chris Rainey has a big game vs. USF, do you think he (or we) will be rewarded by the lifiting of his own private media blackout by Coach? Free Rainey!
Why was Gillisee left off the list of most likely top playmakers for the 2010 season published by GatorSports?
I know it’s too late for this week but, will Andre Debose make a significant impact on UF’s offense this year?
Who will be the go to running back in short yardage situations this year with Tebow in Denver?
this offense is unwatchable
Do you think Coach Meyer might go to a two quarterback plan with Trey Burton seeing more playing time as quarterback? Don’t get me wrong, I know Johnny Brantley is a qualified quarterback but he seems to be letting his nerves get the best of him at times, causing him to make wrong decisions. Also, I think Trey will give the Gators a new element of surprise since he has the ability to run and pass. I think right now it would be a smart move.
