can you make this a diary post. I'm surprised we don't add jersey numbers to the depth chart in "useful stuff" I had to make a cheat sheet on my phone for yesterday. But, with sooo much player rotation (which was great to see with minimal difference) was constantly needing to look up players.

with no chance he's at the top of it. His mobility is an issue at RT.

I didn't finish this thought:
I didn't see anyone on Florida at RB, WR, TE/Eubanks, DT, SDE, ILB that can match what Michigan has...and because we play a VIPER over a 3rd LB (we win their two...almost by default).
...I mean in terms of athleticism...that's why I mentioned Eubanks. Who looked very Funchess like out there.
Edit #2: That team above is a LT (serious loss - would love to see us plug in a grad transfer) and DT (can probably find something between Solomon/Marshall/Dwumfour/Jeter) away from a SERIOUS playoff team. Gil/Anthony/Ross/Furbush should be able to replace some McCray without toooo much dropoff and Bush Jr. is there to replace in terms of leadership.
Oh by the way we get to add Ekiyor, Sims, Reese, McGrone, Hutchinson, Hayes, Mayfield and co.!

If Solomon is as advertised I could see him slotted at DT next year.

My takeway on the D side is that Hurst had a monster game.

because he missed that block on Hill, they messed up. That was clearly a designed CB blitz and Toney had no prayer of making that block other than a pretty blatent block in the back.
Toney did the right thing to go block Kinnel and hope someone else, probably Perine making a play as the RB, deals with Hill. If he goes and blocks Hill in the back, he both likely draws a flag, and has Kinnell unblocked cleaning up behind Hill, likely holding the run to minimal gain excluding the obvious flag.

That one run that had the WR run a route when the coverage as Man-on-Man was SO confusing to me. WHY?!?!?

is fast as hell. Look at the second video, the screen pass. No one expected it but look how many players reacted from the middle of the line to be there on the outside to make that tackle if the receiver breaks the first one. Look at how fast they get by the line on the videos further down. This isn't some mid major here. This is Florida and even their second string players are decent. We made them look slow. Good God our defense... The more I watch it, the scarier it gets. Just stay healthy boys. Please just stay healthy.

Not just fast, but start fast . . . make read . . . make correction . . . go fast again.
They are smart and fast.

This can't be true because he was not a starter last year and has no experience.

I do enjoy these types of articles. But that guy is smoking crack if he thinks the RB in the second play has a TD if Hurst doesn't make the tackle. McCray is there for a ~4-5 yard gain or we have a safety rolling over to stop him for 8-10 yards. Guy is clearly drinking some Gator-Aid with most of his analysis.
Also, we are both faster and stronger, don't try to candy coat it to make yourself feel better, pal.

Found and read this earlier; good breakdown I thought. I Urban really fucked the program over and spent a good protion of last night discussing that with my drunk UF friends (they weren't surprised though). Hopefully UF doesn't comlpetely fall apart in confrence play. Would be nice to have this win continue to be meaningful! Maybe getting those 10 players back will help, how much... we'll see.

Aside from it being a reasonable-ish analysis, I liked that they showed several examples of plays, and that each one would start looping automatically once you scrolled down to the video. That was pretty cool, and very useful; any way this can be done here?
September 4th, 2017 at 8:17 AM ^
Yeah it was easier to get through than a UFR. Not that I'm complaining! Although my computer now has some weird problem opening Youtube on Chrome now.

Michigan plays faster because they are better prepared. Our coaches play chess while Florida's coaches are playing checkers. And he did get it right that if Speight was just average we would have won by a lot more.
What worries me with Speight is that he appears to regress badly in pressure games. He'll look great in the next month against bad teams, but how does he look in Happy Valley. That's a game I believe we will win if Speight gives an average performance and takes care of the ball like it's his child. If he can't find that and keep it this season he will not be the starter next year for sure. The Peters or McCaffrey era will begin.

Thanks for flagging it for us.

Recruiting class rankings don't measure for intangibles like intelligence and character, both of which are strong considerations for this staff because the schemes require the former and the culture demands the latter.

Thanks Gameboy.
Good comparison of the two opposing coaches.
September 4th, 2017 at 2:01 AM ^
are asking for Mac and Nuss's head. If some embedders are willing to embed a few Florida Gators tweets... well... just for the LOLs.
Anyway, Eubanks needs to step up his game more in the blocking department and by being bulkier and faster (not really a need, but who wouldn't want OJ Howard with the blocking abilities of a guard? LOL). But seriously, Asiasi left big shoes to fill.
September 4th, 2017 at 11:35 AM ^
Miss Asiasi big time but Wheatley was blowing people up all day. I just wish they'd throw him a few.

I wonder a bit of some of that unpreparedness was due in part to being unsettled at the QB position. Following some of the UF chatter prior to the game it seemed like they took a long time to figure out what to do with the QB situation, that basically none of them really seemed dominant. Seems like they just should've gone with Franks the whole way and just use Zaire situationally. It's like they couldn't really make up their minds.
That and the suspensions was probably a huge distraction for the coaches trying to deal with that.
M just seemed more focused and had their act together a bit better on offense, for the most part.
