    I don't have a very good feeling about UL this year. I think the offense will be fine if someone can show up at WR (they have lost their top two WR's going into this season to injury - and none of those WR's were starters last year).

    The defense is incredibly thin at LB. None of the three starting LBers have played any Div I time AT ALL. I shudder to think what a running team (read: WVU) could do to them. I'm glad WVU is later in teh season so they will have some experience by then.

    Hope is eternal at the beginning of the season, but I'm just trying to be realistic.

    Ugly win last night, but I'll take it. As long as we improve over last night. 3 picks against a weaker defense should never have happened with a vet qb. Ran the opening kick back for a touch only to be called back. Hofstra showed a lot of heart though.
    Our game was ugly too and our starting qb threw 4 interceptions. The only reason Spurrier took him out was because he got hit in the head. If that didn't happen, he might have had 5 or 6 ints. :eek:

    We had a lot of OL penalties and then a really really stupid unsportsmanlike penalty. We were bailed out though, because as bad as our offense performed, NC State's was worse...

    I think everyone knows the BSU Broncos will easily be the best team in all of college football. Duh!

    wtf was up with that? I remember Spurrier throwing his visor and yanking guys like Danny Wuerffel and Rex Grossman if they threw one pick and the Gators were up by 30. He's definitely mellowed a lot since his humbling NFL experience, plus he's got limited talent up here I suppose.

    Chris Smelley ran things really well, although the Wolfpack D was probably exhausted by then. Hopefully he gets the start against Vandy.

    As much as I would love to see Tebow get another Heisman, I don't see the Heisman voters giving it to him, unless of course Florida seems poised to win the national title. Don't get me wrong, I bleed orange and blue, but I get the feeling there will be some Tebow hating this year.... just jealousy, I guess

    Yeah and I fully expect his numbers to be significantly down this season. As they were today. But if he somehow accounts for 50+ TDs again this year how could you not give it to him?

    Lot of guys made plays today. Chris Raney will be a force to be reckoned with. No Harvin, no matter. Hopefully he'll be back against the 'Canes. I too am heading down for that one, to see my family and watch the Gators destroy.

    I talk shit about Tebow winning a 2nd but in reality I think it could very well be Knowshon Moreno or Chase Daniel, depending on if Mizzou lives up to the hype

    It's not so much that he's mellowed (maybe he has, maybe he hasn't), I think it's more that he feels we're really limited at qb. And, I think he's right that we are limited there. He wanted to leave Beecher in the game to avoid any controversies because that's happened the past two years and he's tired of it. When Beecher got that hard hit to his head though, Beecher had to come out of the game. If he didn't get hurt I think he would have played the whole game. Going into the season I thought Smelley should have been the starter, and after Thursday there's no doubt in my mind about that.

    Sad to say though that the best qb is probably third stringer Steven Garcia. Physically, athletically, and talent-wise Garcia is superior to Beecher and Smelley. Garcia's just not there mentally, and it's becoming a question if he will ever be ready.

    Yeah but there's a difference in creating controversies and doing what's right for the game situation. NC State wasn't a real threat all night, but the game could still be considered "close" by the time he took the shot to the head. Don't you think if its a close game against somebody like UGA, he makes the change before the 4th INT happens? It is a question of being limited at QB but also this is definitely not the Spurrier of old.

    Totally agree with you about Garcia. As highly touted as Smelley was, Garcia is probably the superior athlete at the position. Hopefully the bullshit is behind him, we'll see him get a few snaps this year. I think if he's ever able to "get there mentally" the future looks pretty bright for USC

    Utah is a better team. I'm not surprised about that at all really.

    New Coach, New Offense = Rebuilding season.
