Trenches MIA VS. FLA

[grover]

I’m very confident that our offense is going to put up a lot of points and yards in this game. The key for me on defense in this game, and all year really, is our front seven and edge rushers being able to put immense pressure on their QB and not giving him time while also forcing some turnovers. If we can do this, our secondary doesn’t need to be elite or all-world, but just “solid.” I could see opposing offenses trying to test our DB’s all season, but if the QB is constantly under pressure it becomes a moot point.

Miami 35

Florida 21

Our IDL needs to be able to stop the run to get them behind schedule. If Mertz has to throw, then the next key is that back 7 needs to stop the horizontal and slant routes, and he's done. The real heroes of this game could be our LBs who will be dramatically improved in pass pro this season IMO. So much more speed and agility than past LBs.

Mertz can't make throws without setting, and I agree that our pass rush will get to him before he sets for longer throws, even for shorter ones whenever he's scrambling. I doubt he has a lot of forced turnovers, but he'll throw the ball away for a lot of turnovers-on-downs. Or he'll try to be a hero and get himself hurt like he did vs. Arkansas last year.

I'I do think we get to 35. I'm not predicting their score until I see how our defense gels during August camp. A lot rides on those DTs and our new Safeties.

Guidry vs napier is the key matchup, napier can dress some **** up so guidry gotta make sure we see thru the eye candy and stay disciplined

I have zero fear of their offense. It’s not good. Napier isn’t a good coach/coordinator. Graham Schmaltz isn’t a good quarterback. They don’t have any semblance of an offensive line. We would need to really **** the bed offensively to keep them in the game. The ONLY way UF wins is if they’re +2 or better in turnover margin.

Only **** Napier can dress-up is his dude Realdoll. They had the 48th best offense in the country last year and lost Pearsall, Etienne, Richie Leonard and Micah Mazzccua.

Don’t let Johnson find running room and tackle Tre Wilson when he catches 8 passes at or behind the LOS and this offense sucks.

We have weaknesses they can exploit just gotta hope the dline covers them up

The trenches control everything, we establish the line of scrimmage on both side of the ball.

WE WIN PERIOD

However, the game for me will come down to who starts. If they start Mertz, they lose handily. Lagway is really the only shot they have at winning because of the added element of his mobility & his arm talent. But if they trot Captain checkdown out there, there's no way they can keep up with our Offensive firepower.

The only way we lose, is if we start our slow CB's & if we try to play bully ball & go with a run heavy attack. I know that’s blasphemous to say, but the best way to win this game will be to spread'em out & strike quick through the air, similar to the TAMU game. If we're stupid enough to get in a mud-fight with them, well we deserve what comes with that.

We should take a page out of what LSU did vs them last year, when UF gave up 700yds...
