    UCF @ UF

    Mertz is efficient but when every completion is 6 yards you have ZERO room for error, plus it’s booooring. Perhaps even more than most teams’, Florida’s fans want an adrenaline hit on offense. I think a high floor/low ceiling air raid coach probably would have lasted longer at UF than at most high-expectations schools.

    Florida run defense looks slightly better tonight.

        That news is really upsetting after watching our first half tonight…

        Please tell me y’all have settled on Mertz

          Still doing the two-for-one rotation. UCF may also be, well, not that great, or at the least they do not have a passing game to fall back on. Knights did just score, but i don’t think they’ll have the quick strike ability to come back two more scores.

          It would be just like us to peak for the Checkerboard-UT game, then implode immediately after.

      Florida decided to spend the entire second half in a 4-minute offense, but UCF is very one-dimensional on offense themselves, so the Fighting Billies will live to fight another day.

      Hope everything’s good! Shits wild to see reports on, it seems like it hit so deep into the South where it normally doesn’t have that effect.

    Here’s hoping good WVU shows up against 15th year senior Bowman. I saw something the other day that Bowman played against Will Grier for Texas Tech, which is crazy to think about.

    I don’t know how I got so lucky, but I’m watching Georgia/Auburn on ESPN 4K through YouTube TV. That means there’s no commercials. During the breaks, I get a view from a camera on a corner of the stadium, and I hear the band play.

    That’s awesome, and I’m loving it!

    I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I believe in vandy. Can anyone tell me if they actually look like they got a shot here in q4?

      Bwahahaha! Alabama gets to feel, just for one night, what the entire 2023 and 2024 seasons have been like for both of the teams I care about.

      Absolutely. They have so much chemistry and the playcalling is genuinely creative and effective. Pavia just oozes confidence.

      In contrast, Alabama is off-and-on. A handful of amazing plays between a lot of clunky ones (especially on defense).

        Pavia just oozes confidence.

        Well, according to his post-game interview, God gave him a vision when he was a little kid, so…

          That’s insane in every other context lol (this one too, just it’s more accepted in this arena).

        If I don’t see an upset, I will be more disappointed in this game than I was on prom night
