FLORIDA
The Florida Gators and Miami Hurricanes will face off on Aug. 24 in the biggest “Week 0” matchup in recent memory.
Ahead of the game, shots are already being fired, and the latest comes from a member of the Gators.
On Tuesday, redshirt freshman LB/DE Andrew Chatfield didn’t hold back when explaining why he doesn’t view the Hurricanes as a serious threat to the Gators (via 247Sports):
“Well, I don’t really see them as a challenge,” Chatfield said. “I just see them as another team really, because I feel like my whole team, we face SEC teams, big-boy teams. They faced one SEC team, and they got smashed by LSU last time I checked. But it’s whatever though, it’s just another game.”
You can bet the Hurricanes will pass those comments around, so we’ll see if Chatfield and the Gators can back up that talk.
Yes, the Hurricanes lost to LSU last season, but 2019 is a new year, and anything can happen.
Tate Martell is no joke, kid might end up regretting that statement
Just like Tate regretted his statements to Fields.
Fields was a top prospect, I’d take Martell over Felipe Franks any day is the week
Keep believing that the 2019 FF will be the same as the 2017 FF.
The kid got thrown to the wolves as a freshman and was coached by two bumbling idiots in Mac & Nuss.
FF is now in year two of Mullens system and has been coached up by 2 of the best QB coaches in the college game (Mullen & Brian Johnson). FF will open some eyes this year. He has all the physical tools, is starting master this offense & has a TON of skill players around to support him.
On second thought…I hope every DC in the SEC thinks like you do this year. It will work out great for all of us!!
Go Gators!!
A top prospect is something I’m suprised a Gamecock fan knows how to say, considering you all never get one.
Y’all talking like Hillinski isn’t a better qb than anyone you’ve had since Tebow
Franks is a good athlete, whether he can be a good qb remains to b seen
Having to play a team with Franks behind center definitely doesn’t strike fear into anyone’s hearts.
We don’t know if Martell’s a joke or not, he hasn’t played, did not win the starting job at OSU and didn’t want to compete with Fields
Big talk from a player who doesn’t even figure to play in that game. SMH
Gotta love sports reporters. Find the kid who played a combined total of 7 snaps last year against Charleston Southern & Idaho; not even listed on Gators’ 2019 depth chart … go stick the microphone in his face.
^^^
He’s actually had arguably the best Spring of any D-linemen. He’s going to see plenty of game time against the canes.
Miami has down more than enough trash talking this barely counts as trash talking to me
Certainly not a Florida fan here but even less a Miami/ACC fan. Gators need to keep their mouths shut and let their play talk for itself.
I sincerely hope the Gators handle their business and represent the SEC well by rolling over Miami.
I wouldn’t be caught dead hoping for Georgia to win a football game. And Georgia fans are cheering for the Gators so that the SEC looks good. Probably because they haven’t done anything since 1980
I’m sure I don’t represent all UGA fans, so I would pump the brakes on extrapolating my comment out to represent all UGA fans. For the most part, personally, I would rather see conference foes win their non-conference games as it indirectly helps the rest of the conference. I would rather UGA beat a strong Florida team rather than beat a Florida team that struggled against or was beaten by Miami. And though UGA hasn’t won a national championship since 1980, this century they’ve won as many SEC championships as Florida, so they’ve done more than “nothing”.
34, Did you miss all the Georgia fans pulling for Auburn in the NCAAs? Or did you just ignore it to make a point?
Agreed. This kid needs to keep his mouth closed. I’m sure the coaches have “addressed” this with him. Let the play on the field do your talking, til then, work your butt off getting better. Period.
Who should keep their mouths the most shut? Redshirt freshmen should keep their mouths the most shut.
Like Coach, like player….all he needs to do is look towards the office at the end of the hall to see his example….a coach that hasn’t really accomplished a thing on his own, but talks like he’s the 2nd coming…i can see where those kids get their example to follow, but you get wins on the field not through the media.
Mullet got owned by Hugh Freeze
Ur an idiot Mullen throws a few jabs here and there so what when our team tried to disrespect FSU after we beat them Mullen stopped our guy from planting our flag on there field. A little talking is fine fighters do it all the time to hype up a fight
Stupid comment, Mullen has accomplished plenty with the most recent example being taking a 4 win team and transforming it to a 10 win team with basically the same players. Shows you know nothing
Like coach like player, the punk doesn’t fall far from the tree.
Does anybody know if coach mullet dances at “alternative” clubs in the off-season? Maybe he’s a good coach, maybe not. But the dude has dance moves that make Ricky Martin pink with envy.
Another stupid comment but this time expected coming from one of the most moronic Georgia posters of all. Top 3 in the all time list of idiots, congrats, way to represent puppy nation.
When lane Kiffin runs a more mature program, you might want to grow-up
Does he run a more mature from than UGa too since you’ve had what like 6 arrests this of season
^lmao can’t argue w/ that
I love how UGa fans act like Florida sucks and shouldn’t talk smack, that they don’t care about us ect. Yet every UF post with comments on it whether is has to do with UF vs UGa or nothing to do with UGa at all there are as many if not more UGa comments. I guess UF rent free in UGA fans heads. Also I like how UGa fans are calling our coach and player immature and a bad example when they’ve had what 6 arrests this offseason
Fool those 4 arrests are all minor lol.it ain’t like our guys are shooting anyone and the coaches cover it up like Fla has been known to do.UGA owns Fla
The other year when the credit card fraud/theft ring run by UF players got busted, did any of those guys go to prison?
I absolutely agree under Meyer and McElwein our program definitely had issues I thought Muschamp made a valiant effort to fix this. But since Mullen has come in I can’t think of any issues our players have had with the law or getting in trouble. Ya some kids our gaming to be problems no matter what program you play for but since we are now talking about UF under Mullen and UGA under smart and not UGA under Richt or UF under any other coach. I would deff take one young player that needs to grow up a bit barely talking smack compared to four arrest this offseason. If our whole team was talking smack I’d get it but one kid comon. And all he said was he didn’t think miami was a problem and going off of last year they don’t look like they will be.
But for UGA fans to come over here and say he should shut his mouth ect. When all you guys do is talk smack on like every post and when you guys have 4 arrests this offseason I’d say UGA fans should worry about their own team.
1. Your grammar gives off the impression that you’re in middle school.
2. If you’re comparing a suspended license, two bar scuffles, and pot smoking with team-wide credit-card fraud, then I think you need to re-evaluate that position. That being said, the six arrests this offseason are humiliating in my opinion because it speaks for a lack of team-wide program investment and because Georgia has a tradition as one of the most strictly disciplined teams in the conference.
Yo Kirby, he’s comparing 4 arrests to a freshman talking trash, some reading comprehension please.
So far, no claims of death threats in Athens.
Lol how does grammar have anything to do with what I said. Second Im comparing one kid talking a little trash to 4 arrests even if they are minor. I would say the arrests still look worse
