I'm a UF guy, as you all know....I wouldn't touch this one. I hope a glimmer of hope, but the lack of discipline and selfishness down there in Gainesville tells me otherwise.
The loss of Callaway and Scarlett hurt, but they aren't going to change the result. If they get the "us against the world" mentality going into this game they have a chance. The 22 starters are solid and there is some talented depth. Injuries at OL or LB and it could be trouble.....and who the hell knows how the redshirt freshman QB is going to play?
has to be one of the worst offensive performances I have ever seen by a big time d1 program. Fla QB's fumbled i believe 4x and lost 2? QB ratings of 4.6 and 23.0 ... team total of 11 rush yards? lucky they didn't play last year's UM defense
I understand that I follow Michigan in a way that most people don't, but I fully expected to win this game and had very little doubt in my mind that the Florida offense was going to do very little. We can sit here and say Michigan only returned 1 starter all we want but I know what kind of players are on that defense and what kind of coach Don Brown was. All of that combined with the fact Florida hasn't shown a capable offense in years and it was pretty simple to predict that UF wasn't going to score much. I'm telling you, this years Michigan D isnt as deep as last year but they will probably be better overall by the end of the year if everyone stays healthy. The offense looked shaky at times. Speight isn't an elite qb but he is better then he played the other day, but that defense is going to shut people down all year. There is 9 NFL players on that defense.
EM, this isn't really about Michigan. Michigan will be fine....they just need to get over the OSU/Meyer hump (which ain't gonna be easy).
This is about Florida and how BAD they are. It's also about the head coach at UF, and his OC. WTF are they doing down there? Seriously. It's been 3 years and this offense is dead last in the SEC and ranked in the 100's nationally. It's worse than when Muschamp was the head coach. He got a pass in year 1 due to the shape the O was in when Muschamp left, but this is HIS team. He's built it and it is a complete mess - now the defense is a mess (because he failed to focus on recruiting that side of the ball until this past class).
They gave McElwain and all of the assistants extensions and raises this summer. I can see Nussmeir getting canned, but he's McElwain's buddy so who knows. But if he keeps Nussmeir he's done. But the fact is, he's done anyway. Fans that actually follow football know that McElwain doesn't have "it". He's a fraud. Peter Principal'd his way into this job.....and he's in over his head.
For any UF fan reading this, checkout a message board called gatorchatter.com - it's less Homer and more "tell it like it is". Good reading over there.

yeah, they were awful. even at 21-0 it really wasn't any sort of pitt domination...YSU just kept shooting themselves in foot with missed FG and untimely red zone penaltiesdid you go to the pitt game? what did you think of YSU, i quit watching at 14-0 then put back on when I heard the game was tied up.
