Gator Country

Kentucky has a great coaching staff. Rich Brooks is respected around the country. He was Oregon's HC for a long time. Plus was NFL HC.
Former Gator RB Larry Brinson coach's the RB's. Former Vol offensive coordinator Randy Sanders coach's QB and is offensive coordinator. Joker Phillips, the WR coach, is the HC in waiting. He'll be the Hc when Brooks call it quits.

QB Mike Hartline is much improved under Randy Sanders. He's played two good games, wins over Miami (OHIO) and Louisville. Doesn't make mistakes.

Former Wildcat QB Randall Cobb moved to WR, and he's done nothing but tear it up.
7 catch's against Miami, 7 catch's against Louisville. Has scored 3 TD's, 2 receiving, 1 as wildcat RB. He's dangerous.

RB Derrick Locke is one of the best all around players in the SEC. He's a solid RB, and and pass catcher. Last week he had a 100 yards kick off return for a TD.

Defensively, Louisville racked up 378 yards of offense against the cats. It was a fun game to watch.

It's a good road test for the Gators. They usually play us tough. We beat them at The Swamp last year 65-5. But that's when Randall Cobb was QB'ing and Hartline was a back up.

We need to get some of the young wideouts on the field and see what they can do. Our Oline can dictate up front and keep our RB's busy. I want Timmy to do what he did last week, but because he has to.

Good post and info. Thanks!

The biggest concern I have for the Gators is the flu bug.

From the various media outlets mentioning this in the last few days I would not be surprised if at least 20-25 Gators were dealing with it. If that's true I dont see a big "blowout" but a closer game similar to Tennessee.

We'll know Saturday night.

Go Gators!

Only question I have is why the team didn't have flu shots in August? Not like the flu was a shocking new development. They had flu shots last weekend . . . but it's too late at this point.

CFITB · 09-24-2009, 10:28 PM

rain chance is up to 70%

Wouldn't be surprised if they do it in August next year.

I'm sure Coach Meyer doesn't want to go through this again.

Weather permitting, I think this will be our Arky game from last year.

The passing game & the elite defense shows up tomorrow!

GornGator · 09-25-2009, 04:26 PM

Are there more stadiums throughout the country designed like Commonwealth Stadium? I mean, I thought football endzones were supposed to face north and south to try and minimize the sun in the players eyes. I know this will be a night game but I just thought it was different than most.

Gators 38
Wildcats 14

GO GATORS!!!!

good to see you have such faith in our team !

It gonna be rather interesting how we handle having some sick players and rain (?) against a solid Kentucky team thus our first road game as well. I'm little nervous about that.

I think it results into a 15 - 20 point game, not a blow-out likely... but will take it whatever as long we win.

My thoughts exactly.

We are in another complete monsoon here in Atlanta. Sure to be wide spread flooding again.

... and worst of all I'm not getting any signal for my DirecTV satellite. I'm in deep doo doo.

Go Gators!

Don't believe it will be that close. UK is to be repsected, but we've got them very out-manned and have better depth. It'll be competitive and Uk might play tough in the first quarter and a half, but I believe UF pulls away and wins comfortably.

Just protect the ball and don't give Uk cheap opportunities and UF wins by the spread or more.

Speedofsand · 09-26-2009, 05:55 PM

I'm listening to Mick & Urban now. Meyer says it SEC football, he anticipates everyone will play. Tebow, Haden, Wright...Spikes is expected to play.

deviation · 09-26-2009, 06:02 PM

Good, we get Bob Davie. He is the best.
