    I think it’s that it is a very low tier game against a ranked team that presents a bad match up for us. Could be 6-7 again.

    Fun is great but we get limited practices and drew a very good team. And we have no QB.

    Not sure the team having fun in Vegas is the best idea? Fun there goes from “let’s get another round” to “how’d I end up here” mighty fast….or so I’ve heard.

    It may be a test of "what happens in vegas, stays in Vegas ".

    Flight booked. Hotel booked. Just waiting on tickets. Heading to Vegas for this one from Gainesville.

    Live life guys. Donno why so many are being debbie downers.

    I’d much rather Florida play a tougher opponent and learn from it than face some lowly G5 school.

    Keep positive.

    In all kinds of weather.

    If Richardson plays we have a better chance-one would think! If he doesn't, who does? The portal, the recruiting, the practices...crazy couple-few weeks leading up to this game.

    Not sure I'll go to this game. I went to Glendale for the Ohio State game spent $1200 for a ticket. It was worth every penny. These tickets might be considerably cheaper.

    Unknowns will become knowns in the coming days and weeks. Here's to a Gator victory either way!!

    Go Gators.:cool:

    If that's the case we may as well run with 6th O-lineman sets.

    We should be favored.

    We beat Utah and Oregon State lost to them by 26

    They beat Oregon by 4, who was destroyed by Georgia. We only lost to them by 22.

    I posted this in another thread. 7/8 practices tops
    5 practices this week M-F, Sat off. Sun and Mon practice. Tuesday introduce game plan practice. Wed travel. Thu and Fri walk throughs and bowl festivities. Sat bowl game.
    Team is still required to follow the 4 hr a day/20 hr a week rule for coach contact. That time includes meetings, film study, workouts as well as practice.

    What are you even trying to say? Literally the third post was "yawn," and there were several on the first page and a half complaining about the matchup for one reason or another.

    In that brand new NFL stadium? No freaking doubt about it. That place will be lights out cool for a college bowl game. I might even consider going to that game.

    Flawed logic. We crushed South Carolina, South Carolina crushed Tennessee, so we should crush Tennessee. Well, that didn't work out.
    We beat Missouri, Missouri edged Vanderbilt, so we should definitely beat Vanderbilt. Dang, foiled again.
    Then again, Kentucky embarrassed us, Vanderbilt upset Kentucky, so Vanderbilt should beat us. That time it works.

    Bottom line, Oregon State won nine games, including six of its last seven. We tripped over ourselves in the last two weeks, and we'll be missing about 16 players. Oregon State -3 is actually low, IMHO. I expect that number to move even more in their direction in the next two weeks.
