Does UK win over UF change your perspective on either team?

[SLUdog]

If we play to our potential, we'll beat them both.

 

[The Usual Suspect]

If we play to our potential, we'll beat them both.

Does not change my perception of KY, it does make me think that FL is not as good as I thought. They did not look that physical to me.

 

[Duke Humphrey]

If we play like we did today, we’ll lose in Lexington

If we play to our potential, we'll beat them both.

That trip might be bigger test than KState

 

[MSUDC11]

We should beat both by double digits. Kentucky is extremely run heavy. We are a bad matchup for them. Florida is just bad and they will be walking into a hornet’s nest at DWS.

 

[Todd4State]

I changes my persepctive on Florida mostly.

 

[Trojanbulldog19]

don't think so. their defense might be slightly better, but their offense is very similar. I think we match up very well against them.

 

[Shamoan]

Not really. U.K. Should have beaten them last year. Slightly better Kentucky team

 

[11thEagleFan]

It changes my Kentucky prediction from 5-7 to 6-6 and a bowl game. They’ll be hell in the Birmingham Bowl or whatever the lowest SEC bowl is. Florida flat out sucks.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

Anytime that we play without disipline

we are subject to getting beat.

We must up our game.

IMO

 

[57stratdawg]

Agree with Todd. I thought their D had a chance to be around the top of the conference. Not sure that’s the case.

Franks isn’t keeping DCs up at night either.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

I cannot deal with these people anymore tonight.

Fitz didn't have a great day throwing still has almost 300 yds total offense, Hill goes over 200 for 3 tds and we have some stupid penalties and the hand wringers think we are going to lose to UK with the defense (gave ONLY a bit over 200 yds up and offense (OVER 500 yds) we have.

un17ngbelievable!

I think I'm gonna watch Smokey and the Bandit.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

I changes my persepctive on Florida mostly.

A voice of reason in a sea of negative nellies.

 

[BigDawg@HillsofMS14]

I’m not worried about either team. I just thought Florida would have been tougher. They got whipped all over the field. It didn’t look like a Mullen Team at all. Franks doesn’t fit his system either but that’s an obvious in my opinion. I think Fitz will look a lot better moving forward. New coaching adjustments, first game back, being overly amped up Etc...If folks would look below the surface a bit, the percentage completion isn’t really that bad giving circumstances. He will be fine.

 

[RightOfCenter]

Neither looked very good. FLA had chances on offense but Franks looks terrible at times and there is no reason they should have let KU run on them like that knowing KU has 0 passing game. If FLA would have run it, they would have won.

 

[preacher_dawg]

Hey Eaglefan, I almost went to the Southern game tonight, but had to watch the kids. How did they do?

 

[11thEagleFan]

Not good, Preacher Dawg. Not good. On the bright side, Saban lost to Monroe and then rolled off like 5 Nattys, so I’m looking forward to the powerhouse that’s about to develop in Hattiesburg.*

 

[preacher_dawg]

Sorry to hear that. As long as State wins, I cheer Southern on. I used to be like that with OM years ago, but now...

 

[Dawgzilla]

I thought UF had a chance to win 8 or 9 games this year, mostly because their schedule is soft. But UK was supposed to be one of those wins. The UF-FSU game won't have much on the line...

 

[MSUDawgFan86]

If we play to our potential, we'll beat them both.

I don’t think we have to play to our potential to beat them. State will skull 17 both teams. They’ll beat Florida by 3-4 TDs. They are really bad. We didn’t play to our potential today, had a million penalties, and had one of the worst calls in the history of officiating go against us and won by 21. Fitz’s passing today was pretty damn bad. Franks however was a lot worse and he can’t run as well to bail him out of ****** passing games.

 

[Cap'n Geech]

There's a good chance both teams will be ranked when we go to Lexington. It would be their first time to host a top-25 matchup since 2007. That was the year they beat eventual national champion LSU in triple overtime.

 

[Mayor of Little London]

I don’t think we have to worry about the Fla game being at 230...

 

[Tall Dawg]

We should beat both by double digits. Kentucky is extremely run heavy. We are a bad matchup for them. Florida is just bad and they will be walking into a hornet’s nest at DWS.

Winner of this thread here!
We will beat both with the D we have.

And, Fitz will have improved his touch on his throws.
He needs to throw....change ups more .... than fast balls.

 

[The Peeper]

When has Fitz had "a great day throwing"? I believe that's the point

 

[patdog]

Like most others have said, I now think Florida's even more mediocre than I did before.

 

[ezsoil]

When has Fitz had "a great day throwing"? I believe that's the point

I'd say he had a good day throwing against Alabama last year he was 13 of 24 ... with four throws on third and long and had a 8-15 conversion rate on third down..and let's talk about the drops by Thomas ...granted he missed on the first and last throws of the game, but he had a great game squandered by poor coaching decisions.

 

[Len2003]

It changed my perception of FL a lot. They must be terrible because Mullen is a good coach. I'm really surprised KY beat him. Either those players are really bad, or Mullen and company became awful all of a sudden.

 

[Seinfeld]

I agree, Todd. Kentucky is the same Kentucky team they always are. Decent running attack, 3-4 really good athletes, and a passing game that has the ability to go deep if you fall asleep. However, they're a 7-8 win team at absolute best, and we should be able to win comfortably as long as we limit mistakes.

My perception of Florida has definitely worsened, though. I thought they might be a 9-10 win team, and now I'm not even sure that the'll get to 8. Ol' Dan and Scotty boy are about to find out for possibly the first time in their lives what real pressure in college athletics is all about. Have fun with that, gents

On a related note, I think we're in for a dog fight against A&M this year
