God willing, we come out really focused and play a great, style-points-ridden game that shuts people up about Bama, etc.

UF 40, Ark 9

bachikarn · 10-11-2009, 03:00 PM

I hope we throw it around a lot this game. UGA showed Ark's pass defense is atrocious.

GatorLaw · 10-11-2009, 03:11 PM

We may need to score some points in this one. Mallett is looking like the best QB we'll see during the regular season.

He looked very good against Auburn! And his size is something else for a QB, 6-7 245 !

Gators:28 Hogs:14

Florida's defense is too good, and our offense will run up some points - both passing and running.

IF YOU'RE NOT A GATOR, YOU'RE GATOR BAIT!!

I will be in Kansas City next weekend. Will this be national or regional cbs coverage?

The one really nice thing about CBS: No Regional Coverage! You'll see SEC 3:30 match-up anywhere.
Unlike ABC where here in Chicago we get stuck watching some boring Big 10 matchup instead of a Nationally important game

clt_gator · 10-11-2009, 06:30 PM

Wow, surprised they picked this one over Bama/USC. But I'm happy... didn't want another night game. :-)

Jaggator · 10-11-2009, 06:56 PM

Alright!...we get Verne Lundquist and Gary Danielson 2 weeks in a row. CBS loves the Gators because we're playing an unranked Arkansas team.

Jaggator · 10-11-2009, 09:11 PM

Mallett is the best SEC QB NFL prospect. He is the best QB Florida has faced and this is the best overall offensive team UF has played.

Arky is not LSU...Gators roll, 45-14. GO GATORS!!!!!

Arkie may have a pretty good offense, but this is the Gator D they're facing and if their RB Micheal Smith can't get on track, it will take any semblance of balance away from the Hogs' offense and Mallet will be a target in the pocket for the Gator pass rush.

Take Smith out of the equation and Arkie gets blown out in this game.

This could be another five sack performance for the Gator D this weekend, and if they contain Smith and jump out early and make Arkie have to play catch-up, the UF secondary could be making several picks.

The Gators' physical, ball-control offense will keep the Arkie O on the sidelines and out of rhythem while wearing down the Hog defense.

Swampmaster · 10-11-2009, 09:32 PM

UF should win this game easy--blowout alert! The Ark D is terrible and UF's D should get 3-4 turnovers against arkansas. UF 46 Ark 13

gtr2x · 10-11-2009, 09:37 PM

Hopefully this is the game UF's wrs step up and have big games. If it doesn't happen this game it probably won't. From what I've seen Arkys dbs present a welcome opportunity.

PTCGator · 10-11-2009, 09:41 PM

Hmmmmmm.....sure sounds a lot like all the talking we did last year before the Ole Miss game. We need to stay focused and play a great game....on both sides of the ball. Mallett will score some points so we need to score a bunch. I think we can go over 45 if Tebow is back on his game and the WR's show up.

I also think this has a feel at times of the Ole Miss game last year. Hope our guys remember that.

The_Graygator · 10-11-2009, 09:43 PM

Another common opponent to compare UF and Bama. How badly did Bama beat Arkie in Tuscaloosa?

Using UK as a common comparison opponent, the Gators are the better team when you look at the Gators' better stats than Bama's v.s. UK.

Arkie visits The Swamp and I think it's an interesting question.

drdaytona · 10-11-2009, 10:03 PM

I smell a trap.

Arky will score, so don't expect another 13-3 game.
