Jesus Christ how old are some of you guys? 21? Get out of the time machine, this aint 2002. We are not blowing out UF and we will be lucky to walk out of there with a W. Just like they would. A few rebuttals..
2) You might be able to count out ALOT of things in that UF game but dont ever count out a Will Muschamp Defense. I dont care who wont be playing those guys will be ready for war. Thats what scares me. Yes there offense isnt great BUT there D causes ALOT of turnovers. Thats another thing that scares me. Lets remember how we fared last year when "put to the test" against top quality teams. (KSU, ND, FSU) Lets just agree that it will be a great game. I will be there.
I don't care if Saban was running the UF defense this year there's no way in **** you lose that much talent and just keep rolling right along with no hiccups. Elam was a GD monster last year and nobody on that roster is going to easily replace his production. He was everywhere on that field last year making plays constantly. Same goes for Floyd, Bostic, and McCray. Like I said, Morrison is supposed to be the future at MLB and he's out for the Miami game. MLB is the captain of the defense and missing your best LB from an already questionable group doesn't help. Do I think the UF defense can be good? Sure but they're not going to be 2012 good. When Muschamp took over he did some house cleaning and they lost a bunch off that devastating D. Let's also not forget that UF was exposed by Lousiville and finished the season in really bad form.
Also, against good teams last year (KSU, ND, FSU) Miami's offense didn't get many shots at scoring points because the defense never got off the field. Kind of hard to attack or wear down an opponents defense when you don't have the ball. I fully expect the Miami defense to make more stops and have more takeaways allowing the offense to more effectively impose their will on defenses.
UM Vs. KSU Time of Possession 22:44 to 37:16
UM Vs. ND Time of Possession 20:52 to 39:08
UM Vs. FSU Time of Possession 25:26 to 34:34
The UF offense should be better but everyday that Driskel, Jones, and Halapio miss reps is not helping their cause. Driskel was mediocre at best in the passing game. Like I said, UF rode Gillislee hard last season and as he went so went the Gator offense. The O-line look to be the weakest link and losing your best Guard to a torn pec doesn't make things better. Time is ticking and every day these guys are gone is an advantage for our defense.
Hype?
3,893 Yards, 36 Touchdowns and 10 Interceptions against the best defenses in the country. That's not hype. Murray is receiving praise that he earned by his outstanding play.

we have holes just like any other team, i just feel you need to be balanced about it. for example everyone keeps bringing up louisville as the game that 'exposed' uf despite ignoring that uf shut down some pretty elite offenses during the season. that one game is all that matters apparently. what's funny is that louisville had 336 yards total while being held to 1.9 ypc, that's a very mediocre offensive performance. **** uf's offense averaged somewhere around there and everyone thinks uf's offense is horrible. but for example you expect major improvement by your defense yet the last time we saw them they were giving up 500+ in a nailbiter to duke. so using the same logic one could say duke exposed miami, it's just not very logical.
i also think you overstate our losses on defense. elam and floyd are absolute studs, some of the best at their positions to come through uf. but we rotated upwards of 18-19 guys on defense, especially in the front 7. some of the guys who were backups started multiple games, like watkins who started 4 at safety while logging nickel duties. we are short on starts in some areas, not experience or game time, there's a difference. but i do agree they won't be as good as 2012, that imo was the best unit in the country considering they finished #2 with no offensive help whatsoever. and the fact they won't be as good frankly scares me because they singlehandedly won half of our games last year. i'm expecting a regression to an 8-4 or 9-3 type year unless the offense significantly improves, which i'm not betting on.

There's a lot of people that don't realize how big Coley putting that Swag hat on was that day, but they gon find out soon enough.

False.
Against the best defenses in the country:
USCe: 11 for 31, 109 yards, 0 TD 1 INT
UFag: 12 for 24, 150 yards, 1 TD 3 INT
BAMA: 18 for 33, 1 TD 1 INT (including the gaffe of the century which costed his team a chance at a National Championship)
Throwing for a ton of yards and touchdowns against the stout defenses of Mizzou, FAU, Buffalo, Vandy, Georgia Southern, Auburn, and Ole Miss doesn't impress me.
His game against Florida last year was one of the worst games I saw from a QB all year.
Once again, Aaron Murray blows.
Why march your troops into war and leave Achilles back on the boat?
Remember how we were all wondering how little old true freshman Stacy Coley would ever get on the field ahead of all these talented, experience wide receivers?
Well what do you do when it turns out the guy is a shorter AJ Green? A budding superstar? A bonafide game-changing weapon? A dude more smooth and fluid than a morning bowel movement following a night of drinking and questionable fast food? Coley is going to get himself on the field because he's proving to be almost uncoverable. There's no way he doesn't see a lot of snaps.
