Not intending to bash. I want this 5-Star recruit to be the real deal. If the rating is correct, he should be a difference maker. His second half play was embarrassingly soft and staff quotes seemed to alibi he was on the field too much and was out of gas. Fresh, lesser talented player would have been a dramatic improvement. If Rudy (5 foot nothing, 1 hundred and nothing) had been in there, we would have won.

Everyone keeps saying he was a 5 star recruit however 4 is the highest I can find.

 

247 - 4 star / 164th Nationally / 13th at his position

ESPN - 4 Star / 153th Regionally / 26th at his position

Rivals - 3 star / NR Nationally / NR at his position

Florida is still not Florida of the past. The streak has to end at some point.

 

UK wins 24 to 20.

 

No, they're not. But unfortunately, UK is the UK of the past.

 

Florida 31

Kentucky 21

Would a win in the swamp make us forget Southern Miss and get folks jumping back ONTO the bandwagon?

Anyone picking UK to win this game could be the most mind boggling thing I've seen this year.

The play of Matt Elam, especially in the second half, is frustrating. More often than not he gets zero push at the line of scrimmage. For as big as he is, his goal needs to be to drive the center as far into the backfield as possible. Instead, he stands straight up and tries to read and react to the play; which doesn't work.

How many OCs would like to know in advance that their center can single handidly take care of the nose tackle on every play, all night long. No double teams, no traps, just straight ahead power football with your RBs hitting the linebackers full speed before ever being touched. An OCs dream! Dawson lived it Saturday night.

I'll stick with history here. Gators by 12+

Doom and despair.

I hope we don't run up the score on UF. Their fans can't take too much more. It's hard on them being the fourth best team in their own state.

 

I'd give them and Miami a third place tie

I would jump into the damn swamp !!!!

31-17 Gators.

Heard on the radio that UF will be honoring their back-to-back NCAA champion basketball teams at half time. Coincidence?

48-20 Gators

I predict Stephen Johnson will get some snapa at qb for UK.

This is a must win to save the hope of bowl eligibility. It's unfortunate the second game of the year has that much riding on it; for how well Stoops has done off the field, on the field there's nothing from his past three seasons that says he can overcome an 0-2 start.

Pretty much. Good recruiter, clueless when it comes to coaching...
