    QB’s were accurate
    RB’s ran with violence
    WR’s didn’t drop a pass
    OL won the day
    DL also won the Day
    LB’s Made every tackle
    DB’s 4 ints and several deflections
    Kickers weren’t necessary.
    You’re welcome.

    You forgot:

    Kickers weren't necessary, but were used.

    Special teams were perfect, 4 for 4 on FGs, 6 for 6 on extra points, 55 yard net average on punts, all kickoffs through the end zone and 11 men on the field every time.

    We keep haring these type of statements on Chiles but he stays behind Pup and Graham. Maybe our lbs are just that good.

    I believe the hype less and less each passing year. Get my hopes up only to be dashed. I should be from Missouri.

    Agreed. Keeping my expectations tempered. Need to see the wins pile up first.

    I have my expectations and am 100% confident in my assessment of what 2025 will be (Hint: a lot like 2022, 2023, and 2024).
    And, I'm hope I'm horribly and sadly mistaken. Go Gators!

    Have we ever not looked good in a scrimmage?

    He had a great pass breakup in the LSU game that would have been a big gainer. I think it is just a loaded position now. Robinson is no slouch, and Ty is very athletic to add depth as he gets up yo speed.

    Are you sure you're not? Maybe way back, a generation or two. :)

    Uh, like two years ago when the O couldn't get anything done against one of the more undermanned Ds in recent Gator history?

    Can't wait for the REAL, first, spotting of the ball. I'm WORN OUT with prognostications and the pre-season hype machine.

    Fortunately the season is about to get underway. Looking for the real thing, not a blowup doll (LOL).

    BTW anybody know whats up with these "Huge Size", ads? LMAO

    I'm not totally sure, but last year we barely scrimmaged before we played Miami and got shellacked because we still didn't even know which players were game ready, and which ones should even be in the rotation.

    When we scrimmage in practice several of the game-time kinks are worked out, and hopefully fixed. We need to scrimmage in at least part of our practices every single day. I hope we've learned from what Miami did to us last year... and what they learned about our plays in their offseason. It's our turn to flip the script.

    No shoes thrown!
    All players on field wore different numbers!
    Adversity on field was overcome!
    Midlines were known!

    Those adds that bounce up and down the screen and prohibit you from seeing half the screen are certainly annoying
