No, I think that loss against Bama will count against you too. You would need Mizzou to lose another besides UGA if I’m doing my math correctly.

To my UGA-supporting friends and family and all respectful UGA Fans everywhere, I feel for you. I’m not a fan of a rival losing to another team before my Gators get a crack at ‘em. I only saw the last few minutes of the game so I don’t even know what made the wheels fall of. To Corch, Negan, and the plethora of other trash-talking UGA trolls that just realized how bad their team was: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA PLEAASSSE explain this one to me! Where are y’all at?!

Personal opinion: From a Gator fan’s perspective, the disrespect and underdog status feels like last week all over again. If our offense commits 2 turnovers or less, we win. That few mistakes means Trask isn't playing like this is his first road game and we all know LSU’s defense isn’t strong enough to grind us out in a classic SEC-style game. On the other side of the ball, I agree with the stats posted above (I won’t re-type them here) about how LSU has played no one with a remotely good defense so far. Burrow and Co. are the real deal, but there’s no way they still feel good by the late 3rd quarter after playing a defense of this caliber. I’ll eat my crow if we get wrecked, but I’m tired of the low expectations. Mullen has us on the right track. Saturday we’ll find out how far we are.

A win with two units in “detention”, yeah we probably deserved that. #DefenseWinsChampionships

Where’s Mizzou? Am I going crazy?

Seriously I don’t understand why that INT isn’t getting more media attention. It was stupid good.

I had my fears about our D facing dual-threat QBs after Towson, but those were put to rest. Now I fear the elite accurate passers in the league (Burrow, Fromm, possibly Tua) because our secondary were leaving receivers open on many plays the pass rush stopped early/Nix panicked. We’re gonna see such high-octane offenses that ours has to respond. Either we’re gonna be one of the few great teams. to have little to no run game or it will be our (glaring) Achilles’ heel. Also: can anyone confirm it was injury that kept Zuniga off the field?

Prayers up for Bryant. I’d love to see a healthy Mizzou when we come to visit in November.

Thanks for the recognition @LSUSMC . We’ve taken a lot of heat for “not beating teams badly enough”.

“Gators made one more play”? Nah, Mullen outcoached Malzahn and the defense played big. Without Zuniga. Simple. Good game, AU. But there were some of us who knew it was coming.

And now, finally now, we’ll get some respect. CFP team? Not yet. Top 10 team? Absolutely. The defense was lights out. 2 FGs allowed after turnovers where AU practically started in FG range and one busted play TD. Absolutely amazing. And Mullen has just enough sauce to make up for the fact that we don’t have a real run game. Before the season began I predicted 10 wins not including a bowl. Finally we’re taking steps toward that. The only thing that could have made it better is if SDS had a betting app where I could have taken all the UGA trolls’ money...

**over the last decade lol autocorrect That’s why I would say “current” rankings

Yeah but information the last decade it hasn’t mattered isn’t the Overall outcome of our season. Sure, it’s nice to have another win, but there’s been few seasons since our championship years that we needed that win for anything.

Gotta agree with this one. No Ws except against UT. Of course this is a hard stretch to predict, but I don’t see USC coming up strong in 4 out of 5 close games. Lived long enough with Muschamp to know he has a knack for underperforming.

Ah that’s tough. I’ve been a UF fan since around ‘97 so I’ve seen both ebb and flow. I think from a vocal standpoint we hate the UGA neutered pups more than anyone — and that may be just because every year they’re even remotely good we get an earful until we eventually shut them up. But, in the depths of every Gator’s heart is a burning hatred for all things creamsicle. My personal picks for our current top 5 rivals: UGA, FSU, LSU, UT, Miami Wouldn’t have put LSU on that list before the last decade of insane and hotly contested games.

@joe - agreed, but I think fans who know football will be able to tell what’s what —especially on the UF offensive side of the ball.

IMO This game is way bigger than some think for UF. If we can’t answer the questions for our OL, tackling, and Franks here, I don’t know if we match our level of play from last year. Go Gators.

*rather than later

Man, I hope you’re right. Everything in me says that UF should be fine but I’m still waiting for a good drive or two from Franks that displays (like #4) a healthy balance of run and pass. Perine & Co. *should* be getting more out of each carry. I blame the O-Line, but I can’t wait for that group to click. It’s just a matter of time and I sure hope it happens sooner tatheethan later.

@CO Honestly, man it reminds me of the classic 40-yr-Old nobody that remembers “the glory days”... except for UGA those days haven’t been around for 4 decades. Lol they gotta make up for it somehow.

@Dawgs Interesting you brought that up. Since 1980, the Gators solidly lead the series 23-15. So, unless you’re over 50, neither of us remember a time that UGA could compare to the greatest university this side of the sun. Oh, and you know what else last happened in 1980? #itstoughtobeadawg

To be fair, I see most of the instigation coming from UGA fans. Best guess would be little brother syndrome — they love to start stuff (especially since they’re the better team for now). And we can’t help but talk right back
