LSU - Florida Game Musings....

LSU Fan here.  I am super pumped about this game.  Last year's game was such an up and down roller-coaster, I expect nothing less this year.

What is the feel in Florida about this game?  I would have to say that most LSU fans I have spoken to are cautiously optimistic.  We all know that our QB's are inexperienced and could easily get lit up this game and we also know that Tim Tebow is one dangerous dude, but Charles Scott and our O line have really gelled thus far in the year.

Our D has some definite holes in the secondary, mainly due to scheming i think.  Also, our huge D-line plays the run well, but I think will have trouble ever catching Tebow from behind.

What are somethings that most LSU fans probably don't know about Florida's team this year?   I think we all know that James is a big ST threat. Harvin, Demps, and Rainey are all big threats on any play.  What about the lines....should we look for anyone in particular to do well?

I think you guys can expect to see a lot of charles scott and then mixed in w/ some plays for Trindon Holliday.  As for our passing game, our young qbs love to throw the ball to our big, much improved, WR, Brandon Lafell. 

Also, in light of the Ricky Jean-Francois comment on Tebow, I have to say that I definitely respect Tebow's choice to not be offended and to take the comment as a challenge instead of a threat on his health.  I certainly think that RJF is simply looking to hit Tebow hard, if he gets the opportunity.  I think the media is crappy for trying to make it out to be something it isn't.

Can't wait, looking forward to it.

Please be kind and use good grammar.

Word on the street in Baton Rouge is that Dalfry, the punter, isn’t even making the trip to Gainesville. Miles has decided to go for it on every 4th down this game.

Honest Thoughts.

Last year’s game was epic, but I don’t think this year’s version will match-up. The play-calling on offense isn’t as dynamic as it was last year (we rarely even try to stretch the field and are seemingly having no success doing so when we do) and the defense is still pretty weak. The line play on both sides of the ball has been a real disappointment, with an inability to pressure QBs wuth the front four on D or protect Tebow and create adequate running lanes for the RBs on O. When they click, they’re impossible to stop, but that seems pretty rare this year. This is a make or break game for us this season, so perhaps everyone will step up, but we’ll need it just to make it interesting.

Boy, Was I Wrong!

It’s been a long time coming, but we finally see the team that we thought we’d have this year!

That is how everyone thought UF would look preseason.....

I am just sad that you guys decided to put it all together against the tigers. We didn’t come to play and you guys executed a great game plan. I hope you blow out everyone on the rest of your schedule.
