They drove to the hoop, drawing fouls and then they made the free throws. Samuel, in particular was perfect from the free throw line (9/9).
The win came down to free throws. Kentucky hit 20 and Florida hit 18. Florida was forced to foul a 90% FT shooter as time was running out.
Comparing Jordan Travis against Jayden Daniels in their head to head competition is misleading. At the end of the season you could see that the FSU defense was elite while LSUs defense was mid pack Not really sure who should win between Travis, Daniels, and Penix.
I initially thought that FSU got hosed, but I have changed my mind. Ask yourself this: If FSU with Tate Rodemaker at QB played Alabama next week, who would you put money on? FSU has a great defense, but I'd have to go with Alabama. Jalen Milroe has been pulling rabbits out of hats all year.
I think Florida is more likely to beat FSU and Missouri. Hoping they win both. P.S. Why is it so hard to sign into this site? 12 character password and an email confirmation code? This is a sports commentary site not a defense contractor.
The bye week comes at a good time for Bowers.
Both of Mertz's interceptions this year have been tipped by the receiver. Now we have one that was tipped to another receiver and that somehow cheapens the win? This was the first game all season that the ball bounced Florida's way. The Gators were due for some luck, won the spread, won the over/under, and won the game on the road. I'll take it.
Lat year neither team gained 280 yards in total offense. These are two coaches that like to lean on their defense. I expect a winning score of less than 30 points and the team that makes fewer offensive mistakes is going to win the game. Penalties and turnovers are going to be the difference. I like the way that Mertz has been playing and I think he will lead the Gators to victory if the Gator OL can handle the crowd noise.
My biggest concern is dealing with crowd noise and minimizing false start/procedure penalties. If the Gators can do that and Billy goes for the throat a little more, we should be fine.
Saying that the Gators were "far from perfect" is stretch. MvNeese State was no competition, but a bad snap and an off sides penalty are pretty minor faults. They played the freshman receivers to see what they can do. I'm sure Wilson will play a big role against Tennessee but I'm not sure that the other freshman have jumped over Burke and Frazier.
If we can't pressure the QB from MeNeese State, ...
TCU did get so pass rush and had multiple sacks. That is going to be the key on handling Prime Jr.
Prime is trying to be the Calipari of Football. He picked up some really good free agents and his son can sling the ball. Will it last all season? Can it be repeated for more than one season? Should be exciting to watch.
Mertz is not Florida's problem. Stupid play calling and stupider penalties are. The coaching staff needs to step up and clean up, especially on special teams.
Chris Leak was a good QB but he had some weaknesses. He often would not run when a play was breaking down and for all the talk of his "pretty passes", he could not hit an out route to save his life. The Gators would not have won the 2006 championship without both Quarterbacks. Tebow was too raw to do it on his own but he lifted the team and the whole stadium. I'm very glad I was there to witness it.
Barring some horrific injury year, the Gators are not going 3-9 and Napier will not be fired. Just a big mouth non-personality taking out his lower lips.
I remember that before the LSU game, Mullen gave the public impression that it didn't matter if Florida won or lost that game. Nothing helps recruiting like winning and if the coach isn't all in, the players won't be either.
Speeding in general is getting out of hand. I see people going 20+ over on non interstate roads almost every day. The latest 'fad' is speeding at 20+ in the center turn lane to get around traffic that is only doing the speed limit to +10. It is the relative speed differences that are super dangerous. If you are doing 85 on the interstate and traffic around you is 85-70, it is not that dangerous, although there is a lot of energy if something goes wrong. When you are doing 80 in a 35 with oncoming traffic doing 40-45, that is 120mph+ closing speed. There is no reaction time and people will get killed if anyone makes an unexpected move. All head coaches should try to get a handle on this issue. Big time college athletes feel very entitled. Sitting them for bad behavior could make a big difference in how they view the world. Unfortunately, the pressure to win overrides the motivation to do the right thing for society.
Have any of the recent speeders been charged with racing or reckless driving? Maybe game suspensions for 20 mph or more over. Or tell them a 20 mph over ticket means they can sell their car, or play.
If Florida is going to have 3 permanent opponents, they should be Georgia, Tennessee, and LSU.
Do we have another Kerwin Bell or Shane Matthews buried on the depth chart? Looks like we could really use one.
No, what he should say is "I'm sick of you guys doing stupid stuff that can get people hurt. You are an adult, you should know better, I'm going to treat you like an adult. Go clear out your locker".
What follow up do you want? He got kicked off the team very soon after charges were filed. He ruined his life by sharing a picture from the internet. He will never play organized football again and this will follow him for the rest of his life. A really bad decision made by a 20 year old.
When you get drunk, you get stupid. The trick is remembering that you're stupid.
Every QB that plays in the NFL is going to get hurt. It's just a matter of how often, how badly, and is it going to take them out of the game. Head, shoulder, and throwing arm injures are going to take you out. You might be able to continue with lower body injuries or no throwing side upper body injuries. Some QBs have the knack for avoiding the big hits. Look at Doug Flutie. He was fluid enough so that the defense rarely got a clean shot on him. Tua, not so much. He should retire while he still has a working noodle.
Young picked up Alabama and carried them last year. Without him they would have had 2-4 more losses. He is as ready for the NFL as any QB I can remember.
Being a lefty, I've always had a spot in my heart for Stabler, but there is no comparison between their arm strength. Stabler's long passes looked like they came from a mortar, while Young's come from a sniper rifle. He is the best QB in this years draft.
I agree. Only TE to throw a touchdown in a Super Bowl
If you are going to make a claim like that, I'd like to see a link.
