ESPN’s FPI predicts outcome of Tennessee vs. Florida
ESPN’s FPI has projected the outcome of Saturday’s SEC East primetime matchup between Tennessee and Florida in Gainesville. All-time, the series favors the Gators, who lead 31-21.
Last year’s game between the 2 teams in Knoxville went the way of the Volunteers. Hendon Hooker threw for 349 yards and 2 touchdowns while rushing for 112 yards and a score as the Vols topped the Gators 38-33. Hooker outdueled Anthony Richardson, who had 2 touchdowns both on the ground and through the air while passing for 453 yards.
The FPI projection for this one is tight, but it has made the call for Tennessee, who is shown as having a 53.8 percent chance of victory.
Tennessee is currently 2-0 after wins over Virginia (49-13) and Austin Peay (30-13). Meanwhile, Florida is 1-1 after a season-opening loss at Utah (24-11) followed by a blowout win over McNeese (49-7).
Kickoff between the Volunteers and Gators from Ben Hill Griffin Stadium is set for 7 p.m., with the game to be televised on ESPN.
ESPN’s TRS-80 is wrong again! It can’t account for what quantum physicists describe as “mertziness.” There is no integer that can represent the dynamic enigma of Mertz. None. Even when they tried to get an AI powered super computer to account for mertziness, it became the first AI to descend into insanity as it began to babble and rave, then could only sing a warbling, off-key version of Rocky Flop over and over.
Do you know what the Gator chomp looks like in mid chomp when the other teams scores? Sad baby mommy catch me arms..lol Just dangling in the air, helplessly. Don’t worry about Rocky top, we’ll have moved far past that to playing the Tennessee Waltz if it only takes us 4 on the D line to stop Mertz.
My fear is that you will have seen the TN AP game and try and run an on the fly version of AP’s tempo spread and Clemson it up lol. Fear? No, more like hope you try this. lol. AP played many formations of our playbook lol. And we said, we aren’t going to do that for only AP. Honestly, if you ran an AI version of Mertz, you might win lol.
gwhite…You better have concern that the Vols play better than last week. Go Garors !
mrtruth…I am hoping for the loudest-ever noise in the Swamp. It’s an up-close experience with the fans that many Vol players have not faced. Don’t let the Vols start fast Gator players.
Go Gators ! As always Beat the Vols !
Two things you can count on for this game. TN will run for more than a hundred yards against UF in this game and pass for slightly less yards. Imo for UF to win this game, they will have to rush for over 200 hundred yards or pass for nearly 300 and score a TD in more than 70 percent TD’s while in the redzone. I’m not sure they can do that. TN could play ball hog and run game all game with the occasional over the top and win this game. Last year the TN secondary was thin, no full rotations and we needed good passing to beat a better UF team than we’ve seen so far this season. As the article correctly states, it’s been a long time since TN has had this much advantage and been a long time since UF appears this vulnerable. It looks like a blue print of the Utah game for TN and TN has more depth than UT as well as speed. The only way TN loses this game is if Heupel fails to adjust to anything that works for UF. If TN can handle UF’s offense with only 4 on the D line than it’ll be a real challenge for UF. What UF can’t do is be down by multiple scores halfway into the 4th. That has been the consistent loss recipe this season so far with the new clock rules. That will force UF to panic throw and make mistakes with a new QB and I give the turnover edge to Milton and TN over Mertz.
Kill yourself
A typical Vawl as gwhite is…His posts are Negan-like in length and like Negan’s yield idiocy. Stop drinking that extra-strength,spiked Orange Kool Aid & accept the fact that Milton is not as good as Hooker, plus the Vawls lost a first-rounder “O”lineman plus some excellent receivers(all tough to replace with inferior players).
