25 predictions for Florida's most important game of the season. Until next week.
- Florida will score in the first quarter.
Right. Pretty sure I've never had a scoring prediction come true faster. -
Jeff Driskel will account for at least two touchdowns.
Right. Four through the air is a new career-high for the signal-caller. - Driskel will throw for more than 138 yards, his total from the last two games.
Wrong. And, really, what were the odds that I would get No. 2 right and No. 3 wrong here? - Driskel will have a rush of more than 10 yards.
Right. Driskel ran for 12 yards, the longest Florida rushing gain of the day that wasn't by Solomon Patton on a sweep. -
Mike Gillislee will rush for at least 80 yards.
Wrong. Gilly only got to 49. - Gillislee will score at least one touchdown.
Wrong. Florida couldn't punch it in on Gilly's goal-to-go attempts. - Gillislee will average between four and five yards per carry.
Wrong. Not even close: Gilly averaged under two yards per rushing attempt. -
Jordan Reed will lead Florida in catches.
Right. Four, right in his range. - Frankie Hammond will lead Florida in receiving yardage.
Wrong. Reed again. - A Florida wide receiver will make a touchdown catch.
Right. Quinton Dunbar saved me early; Hammond saved me late. - Florida will lead at halftime.
Right. Florida leading 21-6 at halftime was not something I predicted. -
Jonathan Bullard will start, not Dominique Easley.
Wrong. Easley started and looked great. - Bullard will record a sack.
Wrong. The one week I decide Bullard's worth a prediction and Fowler isn't, Fowler looks like an all-SEC performer. -
Lerentee McCray will also record a sack.
Wrong. The only defensive stat McCray recorded was the fumble recovery in the first half. -
Sharrif Floyd will record at least two tackles for loss and sacks combined.
Wrong. Floyd had just one TFL, and no sacks. -
Jelani Jenkins will finish with fewer than five tackles.
Right. Jenkins finished with four tackles, one a sack for a loss of four yards. - Jon Bostic will lead Florida in tackles.
Wrong. Josh Evans had seven tackles to lead the Gators. -
Matt Elam will force a turnover.
Wrong. Silly me: I should have guessed Trey Burton would. -
Marcus Roberson will give up at least one play that you will want to react to with "MARCUSSSSSSSSS."
Wrong. He came close, though. - Florida will limit Marcus Lattimore to fewer than 60 yards on the ground.
Right. Lattimore had 13 yards on three carries. -
Ace Sanders will not have a punt return of more than 20 yards.
Right. Sanders' long was a five-yard return. - Neither team will gain more than 400 total yards of offense.
Right. Neither team got to 200 yards of total offense. - Florida's defense will allow fewer than five yards per play in the game.
Right. 2.9 yards per play for the 'Cocks in this one. - Florida's defense will give up fewer than 20 points in the game.
Right. Technically, Florida's defense only gave up nine, because Florida's special teams gave up the two-pointer that we're all gonna forget because it doesn't go with the "OMG SO SPECIAL TEAMS" narrative, right? Good. - Florida will win, 24-13.
Wrong. I had two of the digits right, though.
This Week: 12-for-25, 48 percent. Season To Date: 86-for-175, 49.1 percent.
