I'm hopeful but it's a complete wild card with whatever they did for early season prep for 2024 (what the heck was that against Miami amd TA&M) and Napier's scheme and play calling in 2024. Those last 2 games were wins but they looked.pretty underwhelming on offense for too long to start against inferior teams So they've figured out a lot and go 8-4 against that schedule....keep it going in the right direction.
I watched a Gator fan do honest analysis of the upcoming season, and I thought it was a fair summary of potential Gator wins and losses. The record was not much better than what Vegas is projecting. I will resist discussing what the record might be, because I believe the difference maker is DJ. No one knows if he will stay healthy, and if he will make appreciable performance gains on the field. I will not be surprised if there will be incredible wins as well as disappointing losses. I hope the Gators stun the sports world, but, realistically, I am not joining the CFP hype train!
W We will do well to win eight games. We dont have a crap schedule and thats about 500 against legit teams. Sure we may surprise and win a game or two more.
Beating a dead horse...again...but it all comes down to what will Lagway do and what will Napier do to assist/encourage or be too analytical and bloated on coaching and attention to details that don't win the game of the moment. We shall see, but it won't hurt my feelings if he turns out to be this year's version of Golden but in football.
well that's the offense but there's another side of the ball that's the other half of the game and I Well that's the offense but there's another side of the ball that's the other half of the game and I'm more worried about it
I understand, but once Roberts was the person in total charge of the defense, things lined out really well. About the biggest concern I have is injuries on the D-line, D tackles especially. But that means we can lose the TOP in tough games by the other team running it between the tackles. The solution? Do the same on offense as well as score TDs instead of FGs. THAT is why it is all on Lagway and Napier.
I am jazzed by what could be this fall. I agree that much of what will happen comes down to DJ. With that said, the snafu's need to greatly diminish! The football team and coaching staff needs to eliminate bone-headed plays that gives opponents points. Additionally, the offense, defense, and special teams needs to play at a similar level as the latter part of the 2024 season. The defense and special teams played at an incredible level in the second half of 2024. The offense also played at a decent level. If the Gators play more mistake free and the offense is firing on all cylinders, LOOK OUT!!!

Can't say this projection is off. Personally, we probably lose to LSU, UM, TAMU. Not sure about Ole' Miss. Georgia is an interesting game, and I won't be surprised if the Gators make this interesting! Should Urban Meyer’s call hit the mark, Florida fans are in for a rude awakening
Hopefully, the offense comes out firing on all cylinders! I am concerned about coaching gaffes. I have confidence, finally, in special teams. The defense could be good to great. For UF to reach the playoffs, I feel they will need to play flawlessly! Florida’s 2025 hopes ride a fine line between contender and catastrophe
Everything hinges on Lagway...is he the elite QB we all think he is and can he play the whole season without missing games due to injury. The latter part is a legit concern because I'm not sure we have depth at the QB spot.
Same depth as we had last year with the exception of a True Freshman QB that might turn out to be real good or not ready....who knows.
There were two ST analysts--the better analysts stayed, and the one who needed to go went to the university of Houston. I'm not sure if they ST guy will be called an analyst or coach this season. Maybe someone else can answer that?
Another prediction of the Gator record. This article suggests that the Gators games against Miami and LSU will tell us whether they are playoff contenders, or if their record is not so good. I think their potential is to make the playoffs. However, there are too many players who have to play lights out! As well, too many things that have to go right for a 10-2 season. I think they will be competitive in most games, but whether they eek out wins remains to be seen. Here's hoping they shock everybody and go undefeated! Go Gators!!! CBS Sports predicts Florida football's ceiling and floor in 2025
I can see 9 or 10 wins with the QB we have on the roster. Coach has my support, but not my trust. Has he learned from past mistakes?!!? Will this team continue to come out flat on the road... there's some serious landmines out there, starting with death valley. Clock/game management. Unnecessary Razzle dazzle play calling in key moments, silly penalties. I love how the roster looks, let's see if everything comes together in year 4
