    Bama next week. Then 3 teams in the top 10( LSU #9), (Auburn #2), BYE Week(Tgod :evil: ) (Georgia #10)


    Im predicting 4-1 We'll beat Bama and Georgia. Auburn/LSU is a tossup. But we will most likely lose one of them. :D Lets hope for a sweep.


    Go Gators!!

    Bama is not a good team this year, they are average, you should beat them easily.

    LSU certainly will be tough.

    I think your biggest problem is that your offense just isn't that good and will struggle to score points against Georgia, LSU and Auburn. I think a 2-2 split will be fortuneate.

    LSU-Aub is really difficult back to back. Hard to be up for both games. Ga. doesn't impress me as a top 10 team. Of course maybe Colorado is better than we thought but I doubt it.

    Georgia isn't top 10. Not close.

    It's early so it's hard to say who's really top ten since there are more than 10 undefeated teams. You could look at Texas and say that they were dominated by Ohio State, beat two completely bad teams and an Iowa State team that is just OK. Are they #7 with 1 defeat? We'll find out in a couple of weeks!

    But Georgia at #10 is about right. Time will tell though.

    Terry, I think you are selling the Gator offense short. In four games we've been over 600 yards once and over 500 yards a second time. Against Tennessee we had around 350 yards and Tennessee had about 250.

    I'm not concerned about our offense, but I am concerned about LSU and Auburns defense.

    Saw an interesting stat on ND's schedule so far. Not counting their games with ND our first 5 opponents are 16-1. Their only loss was PSU to OSU.

    Bill but who was the competition you put up 500+ yards on? I'm looking at what you did vs Tenn as more of a indication of what you guys are capable of...not that 350 yds is not good. But Tenn had critical injuries in the Air Force game and while that DT showed heart playing with 1 arm, it hurt them.

    I think the big games in the SEC this year are going to be defensive struggles all around. How's your kicker!! :)

    Just look at Florida State. They put up 500 yards on Rice. Is that the true indicator of how good their offence is?? Florida's offence is a work in progress.

    Leak has to step it up. People are P.O. at him because they think hes soft. I wouldnt disagree. The running game also must be established. Wynn looks good right now, but will he be a factor come auburn/lsu?. That will be the key. Its always nice to have Tebow get in there and get the offence going.

    Go Gators. Auburn/Lsu Back to Back :? What an adventure thats gunna be

    Fla State is awfull on offense, they have no running game. Jeff Bowden wouldn't be able to get an OCoord job even in 1AA. They haven't been any good on offense since Richt left, they are a graveyard for offensive skill position players and QB's. I don't know why any kid who is a WR or RB or a QB would want to go to FSU right now, well other than perpetual immunity from prosecution! :)

    Yet as long as Bobby is there, you know Jeff will be. The day Bobby calls it quits, is the day that Jeff Bowden is sent packing.

    Make that a brutal 2 game stretch.... Watching Auburn/So. Carolina. Not at all impressed with the Auburn Defense or Offense...although Kenny Irons is definitely a great RB. Looking at how the SCAR qb is carving up Auburn, Chris Leake will have a field day.

    Auburn is not the #2 team in the country. They will lose 3 games this year if this is a good example of their team. Texas would kill them.

    Everybody has an off week and SC on the road can be a real test.

    That said...I have hope for UF on Oct. 14th...

    So. Car on the road a real test? So.Car the team that could score only 15 points vs a woefull Miss State team, a team that couldn't score at all against Georgia, a team that barely beat Wofford 27-20. Surely you jest.

    Maybe Auburn just played down to them, but that Auburn defense didn't look fast, or like great tacklers...did you notice how many times So.Car recievers ran through a couple of Auburn guys on those short bubble screens? Auburn is not the #2 team in the country, they should drop after this game.

    Well....here I sit in Miami Beach fixin to do a little auto show work over the next few days and then on the 7th I'll be in the Swamp to witness UF play a team that Auburn beat.....LSU.

    Maybe I'll get a better handle then on how good Auburn is.

    In the meantime I've got a few rum runners to drink!

    Whoa....did you see that girl?........smokin!

    Terry, the Gators lead the SEC in offense and our schedule has been decent. I believe our offense is the real deal, but time will tell.
