redshirt frosh, playing only his 3rd college football game ever, first road game of his career

I say start sending 6 or 7 blitzers at him the second he steps foot off the plane tomorrow, and not stop until about 11 pm Sat night

I would send the blitz through Ivey (to welcome him back from his knee surgery to CFB, and the SEC) on the first play of the game.
 
As to Grier, he was the Parade HS PoY and has been going against UF's Top 3 SEC defense in practice since Jan of 2014, (20 months).:boxing:

Yes, please blitz a lot in the game, our TE's, Slot, and RB's will appreciate being featured in the game. :okay:

Two Games Combined results for the Gator's.

3 RB's Rushing: -- 50 for 252 yds, 5 ypc, 4 TD's.

All of that aside, I'm expecting a real 'snot-knocker' this Saturday night. :confused:
As always, I'm hoping for a clean game with no injuries to either team, and of course #29 for my Gators... [cheers]

I see that all of these stats are missing the all-too-important "Strength of Schedule" statistic. At any rate, also hoping for a clean, injury free game.
 
No doubt about it, one patsy and one decent 2014 bowl team.

Last year, VaTech beat tOSU in their house, their only loss.

The very next week, ECU traveled and beat VaTech in their house.

So while ECU is not a top team, they aren't a chump patsy either...
 
Yeah, the running guy will be in by the half. UK should be able to jump on the Gators with this guy though.
 
I actually think Grier is going to be good, but with our Defense I'll always prefer the guy that is less efficient at the read option or less capable of pulling it down and running.

HS Grier rushed for 1,251 yards with 13 TD's in 2013 alone.
While he prefers to stand in the pocket and throw it to the playmakers, that doesn't mean that he can't roll out and pitch or throw it, or go up the middle for 38 yds.

2015 Rushing - Will Grier - 2 gms, 7 for 53 yds net, 7.6 ypc 1 TD, Long 38 yds.
 
Things aren't usually good when you have to (make that CHOOSE TO) use 3 QB's in 2 games. Just saying.
Ask Louisville.

Not a problem, just ask Spurrier in his years at UF. ;)

And since Mc-Nuss have 2 wins with 3 QB's, it doesn't seem to be a problem for them either. [cheers]

Grier will start. Harris will likely play. If one gets a HOT:fire: hand, then the rotation will adjust to accommodate that and the rotation will likely stop. :pimp:

Plus, your hoping for the same official who gave you the game last season.
 
Could someone be more of a homer? Geeze.

Ecu lost there whole team from last year

Instigators response : but but but they signed the Carolina special teams utility player of the year or some mumbo jumbo

What you've failed to notice or acknowledge is that NOWHERE on this board have I claimed that the Gators will win the game. I also have no score prediction. I have in fact granted that UK has as much of a chance to win the game as UF has.

But if you want snide, I could ask you who won 3 of the last 5 SEC-C's in B-Ball?
(snicker) :bomb:

I know you don't want to bring up basketball with UK. Put the bath salts down.

Good night guys, gotta run, other sticks in the fire, but nice chatting with ya.

Funny I am in Knoxville TN today and was listening to the local radio sports talk show. Im thinking that UK has a shot at this game and then he brings it back into check.

"KY will lose because that is all they know how to do. They are losers on the football field and beating a very crappy SC team didnt change that"

Only FL fans would brag about meaningless SEC regular season titles. UK fans care much more about Final Fours and competing for titles.

And after UK bitch slaps FL on Saturday come on back during basketball season to get bent then as well.
 
Not really sure what to think of our QB situation. Grier was a little reckless with the ball against ECU but luckily didn't have to pay for it.

Did you enjoy those sec c's when we were going to 4 of the last 5 final fours?

Dunce.
 
What makes Florida fans think that they have the offensive line to win this game? They may have the worst, most inexperienced o-line in the SEC. Should be good at some point, but it isn't right now, that's for sure.

Yeah ask UL the benefits of having a bad oline or heck, last years UK team. I want to see us blitz blitz blitz, pressure pressure pressure

This, ECU also an out their second string QB as their expected starter tore his acl in practice the week before their first game. So FLA damn near got beat by an ECU team that lost their QB from last year, Top WR, and their Expected starting Qb this year. ECU will be a 7-6, 8-5 AAC team. Not a good look gators.
 
Obviously a few opposing fans are not to confident in their teams ability to win the game or they wouldn't be here trying to talk smack.

Mastergator I guarantee the SC team we beat on the road is better than any team you beat at home.
 
Those gator basketball stats may as well be from 100 years ago considering how relevant they are to your current situation...

No Eddie Munster = Party's Over

BTW: what was your best hoops coach EVER's final record versus UK? :okay:
