Florida is gonna try to run the ball and control time of possession. They also have a tendency for Mertz throw a lot of easy underneath passes early. Unfortunately, our defense is schemed to play a bit more off the ball in zone, and we typically play softer to keep everything in front of the corners. It would also not surprise me if White changes the scheme up this week with some wrinkles we have not shown in the previous four weeks.
If we can slow down the running game and keep Etienne in check, you have to think that we'll be in good shape on defense. The offense, on the other hand, has been too Jekyll and Hyde to this point to be confident in moving the ball consistently. It could honestly go either way, with my hope being that everyone is playing focused football.
The one thing we absolutely cannot do is turn the ball over or shoot ourselves in the foot with drops on offense. We don't beat UF this year unless we start playing smart and disciplined football.
UK lived in their offensive backfield
It was truly crazy to see that
I thought we could dictate LOS some, but not from their backfield. Lol
