2013 GAME BY GAME PREVIEW WEEK TWO FLORIDA

The A & M game was his first game and even a Miami fan can tell you UF's WR's were not good enough to make plays down field. You have to put some of the blame on the Oline unless you think Nixon Green and Johnson are good at pass protecting.Another year in the system and better Oline play and because of those two things you will see an improved passing game

What is intriguing about the Miami game is Miami was not good at getting to the QB last year. If you give Jeff time he is fine so their Ends and LB's vs UF Oline is an interesting match up

agree with mostly everything in the write-up except for driskel being more quick than fast (dude is a legit 4.5 dude) and the o-line being bad. consider this, uf had the sec's #3 rushing attack and one of the better ground games in the country with the support of 1600 yards passing...a bad o-line doesn't do that agains the defenses we faced. of the sacks they gave up, i'd say 2/3 were the result of driskel holding the ball, the kid has NO feel for the passing game whatsoever. for example, against A&M he was sacked 7 times and everyone blamed the o-line, then pease came out and said driskel was responsible for 6 of them, the kid usually got a decent amount of time but can't read coverage for ****. stop the run and you beat us.

Agreed. Do you feel Driskel will learn to read coverages? Or will he keep holding the ball too long? Is it true that Muschamp wrote a letter to the NCAA regarding the officials? I heard he was ****ed off that UF was getting all those flags last season.
If UF runs a little bit of pistol that offense might be lethal.

Either way Sept. 7 will be a war. Im flying from Chicago for this one. 50 yard line seats baby!

Dorito better ensure that we have 8 in the box.
I'm surprised most believe we win this game comfortably. Miami MUST score early and often. That seems to be the key. If Miami scores 28+ points we've likely won the game. We need to attack those young safeties that you guys have.

no, he stinks. his bowl performance with everyone healthy and a month to prepare might have been his worse game of the year. he can't play the position UNLESS he's put in a option type system where his athleticism is used and he's asked to make minimal reads. but even then he'd still be average imo, he even struggled deciding whether to pull or keep on option type plays (see his fumble against fsu).

and no offense to your offense but i don't see miami scoring 28 on uf unless they score on special teams or defense. miami has some very good players but better offenses have been held to less against uf. duke is special but uf faced marshall/gurshal at uga as well as lsu and fsu's bunch on the ground, held manziel without a 1st down in a half, etc. miami also struggled mightily against good defensive teams a year ago. and while losing elam, bostic, and floyd will hurt, uf returns a lot of guys, we rotated as much as 20 on defense last year. if you watch our games you'll notice we'd literally go 2, 3 series at a time defensively with some of those guys on the bench while youngsters rotated in. i expect the defense to be every bit as good as last year's by the end of the year. maybe not by the second game though.

If Florida were to run pistol this season similar to Nevada. Florida's offense would be a problem for everyone. Pease would need to do like you say and run some option, some zone read, some spread. A pro-style offense doesn't seem to fit UF much.


As far as Miami scoring, I don't predict Miami will score more than two touchdowns. If we get 28 it'll be due to turnovers or special teams. So I just think if Miami were to somehow score 28 then this is a winnable game.
 
Guys this game could go either way. I would love to say I'm confident we will win but with or defense I just can't be. If our defense was better I would have no problem saying its gonna be a W but our defense sucked last year period. Whichever way this one goes it'll be close

I know that UF has a solid defense but they lost a lot of guys to replace and our offense is loaded. Don't think you are givin our boys enough cred
 
I believe some folks underestimate UF. There's a lot of talent there, and our young men haven't proven they can handle the big stage yet. We may be capable of winning, but I believe we will have trouble with a running QB to bail out their offense and their defense has been pretty stout. The Louisville game was out of the ordinary. They did beat a pretty good FSU team that handed it to us in the second half. If our guys can keep their composure and solidify the D, we will win. If FAU goes out and scores more than 17 against our D game 1, then we are in for a sad night game 2. Our D lately has had a tendency to make bad QBs look like freakin all world, and I have put down my orange and green glasses.

I agree to a degree. We played some good QB's last season IDC what anyone says.

Chase Rettig threw for 3500+ yards he was also a highly touted prospect coming out of high school. Top 10 QB prospect.
Collin Klein ripped up everybody
NCST Mike Glennon who some thought was going to be a first rounder pre-season
Bryn Renner who is a future NFL draft pick and also had a good season.
E.J. Manuel a First round QB
Logan Thomas who some still feel can be a first round QB
Sean Renfree who was also a very good college QB.

The only one I can say was B.S. was Michael Rocco throwinf for 300 who else "lit us up" ? It's all about the running game. We have good QB's in the ACC I don't think people realize that. We have better starters on Average than the B1G, Pac-12, Probably even with the SEC as far as quarterbacking in the conference. We have good QB's in the ACC once again this year. The BIG 12 will always be the conference with the best college QB's pound for pound but the ACC is getting close to that stage man.
 
Miami 20 UF 17 Miami wins a huge game and vaults into the top 15. I still thnk Miami will win 10 games in the season and finish 10-2 with losses to at UNC and at FSU.. 19 starters back and a soft schedule Golden has to win 9 games at minimum...

Unfortunately, all of this. Here's where just looking at the stats gets you into trouble.

If you actually watched the Gators play last year, you had to be impressed with two things:

A) The ability of FL's defense to keep them in it and B) The ability of the offense to grind on good defenses in a close game.

I'm a lot more worried about B than I am A.

Driskel - his completion percentage is misleading. As killa pointed out, dude took a slew of unnecessary sacks last season. The amount of checkdowns he didn't throw, second receivers he never saw, or balls that he should have chucked into the fifth row has to be 50+. If he actually makes those throws, his percentage looks a lot more pedestrian, which he is as a passer.

If we can pop them early it could get ugly, a la the Orange Bowl. They just can't rely on Driskell to win them games. I don't expect him to be that much better this year. He just didn't have 'it.' If we don't, and it's a close game, we gotta hope our D has improved about as much as they'll need him to.
 
I see all the people who predicted us to beat ND last year are picking us to beat UF this year I guess that means this game is in the bag

you really comparing ND to UF and making no concessions on us improving over last year?

Not only that but had dorsett caught 1 of 2 opening passes and we not had the roughing the kicker that's a completely different game. They destroyed us with the run which they were only able to do because they were up. Those two drops set the tone for the game. It happens with young inexperienced teams
 
Morris has yet to play well against a good team, ever. Nothing I've seen leads me to believe we will light up UF with our offense, but a lot of things point to a bad UF QB running and passing all over us. Could easilly be last years KSU all over again.

Morris will have to play well against a real team, playcalling has to be solid, and our D has to be a lot better for us to win, or even stay in the game.

If this game is in fact last games KSU, there is going to be heat on golden. Not from the administration, but from the "community" so to speak.
 
We CANNOT get blown out by FLORIDA at home. Would be devastating to our program and the direction it is heading in.
