I would expect similar results as compared to the Alabama game. With our lockdown corners Mallet will need time to look for his 3rd and 4th receivers. He won't have the time and Mallet hasn't been nearly as effective when pressured. Auburn's defense had trouble with West Virginia and Georgia gave up 3 TD passes to Tennessee's Crompton for crying out loud. These defenses are not up to Auburn or Georgia's usual standards. Plus Arkansas has a typical Petrino defense which is to say they don't have a defense. TT and the boys will be able to control the clock limiting Arkansas offense. I would be surprised if Arkansas scores more than 17 points and I think I am being generous. Randy Platt aka PCGator aka The Armchair Quarterback aka The Other Randy Later Gators!

[gatortalk] Re: What is your prediction for the Arkansas offense ?
Y'all know I will give honest assessments, so here we go: 1) Florida's defense is on par with 'Bama's, so I suspect we will struggle. HOWEVER, we have significantly improved since the 'Bama game, so I don't think we'll be shutdown. Mallett is getting a lot better at finding his 3rd or 4th option quickly. But y'all are right that he's a pocket passer, and not a scrambler. If he scrambles, he'll look to run some, but mostly will try to set up outside the pocket and throw. He usually makes good decisions regarding throwing it away though. 2) Our top receiver, Joe Adams, had a minor stroke (yes, you read that right) last Monday and didn't play over the weekend. While he's up and about and attending practice as a spectator, it's unlikely he will play this weekend, and possible not at all the rest of the year. Not something where you want to bounce right back onto the football field. 3) Our second leading receiver, Jarius Wright, had a concussion on Saturday, so his status is unknown for Saturday. The hit he took wasn't as nasty as Tebow's, but as always, you don't want to rush back to the field. 4) Our running game is finally starting to come into its own. It took a bit for our O-line, which was primarily recruited for run blocking, to get the balance worked out after working so hard on adjusting to pass block. 5) One of our top weapons right now is Dennis Johnson, our kick returner. He leads the SEC in average and is sixth in the nation. He's something else when he gets a lane. 6) I don't think y'all will run wild on our defense, as they are much improved, but I know we'll struggle against y'all.

[gatortalk] Defense reigns supreme in the SEC
Defense reigns supreme in the SEC October 12, 2009 11:00 AM Posted by ESPN.com's Chris Low Dave Martin/Getty Images Nick Saban knows his defense is the strength of his team and plays to this strength. The more things change in the SEC, the more they stay the same. Players come and players go. Coaches come in promising to change the culture at their place, and everybody gets excited about the latest trend on offense, be it the spread, the Wildcat formation, the Pistol formation, anything that looks new. But if you're going to win in this league at the highest level, it gets down to one thing. Defense and a lot of it. Is it any coincidence that the top two defensive clubs in America right now, Florida and Alabama, are also ranked No. 1 and No. 2 in the most recent Associated Press poll? The Gators are first nationally in total defense, allowing 202.6 yards per game, and the Crimson Tide are second nationally, allowing 220.5 yards. They both won their toughest SEC tests to date last Saturday by combining for a grand total of two touchdowns on offense. Alabama won 22-3 at Ole Miss, while Florida won 13-3 at LSU. You can read into those scores a lot of things. The skeptics will say that nobody in the SEC can play offense, which inflates the defensive numbers. Others will say the Crimson Tide and Gators were too conservative. My read is a little different. Just about everybody in this league can play defense. Have you sized up Ole Miss' front seven lately? And the secondary at LSU is outstanding. The Tigers' sophomore cornerback, Patrick Peterson, was a tackling machine in the open field against Tim Tebow and the Gators. The defenses in this league have a way of making offenses look bad. Ask Arkansas' Bobby Petrino what he thinks of Alabama's defense. Here's the other thing: Alabama's Nick Saban and Florida's Urban Meyer are both well aware of how good their defenses are, and they're going to play to them. Between them, the defenses at Alabama and Florida allowed one third-down conversion in 18 attempts last Saturday. That's right. One. The Gators have allowed just two touchdowns all season, and the Crimson Tide already have 15 sacks and have forced 13 turnovers. When you're playing at that level defensively, why wouldn't you play to your defense? Shootouts are fun to watch, and in every season, there's going to be a game or two where you simply have to outscore your opponent. But in this league, you can't make a living that way. The rest of the country may point to the games in Baton Rouge and Oxford last Saturday and pass them off as being dull football. And at times, both games were a bit plodding. Dull football, though, has also been winning football in the SEC. It's no secret that four of the last six BCS national champions have come out of the SEC. And guess what? None of the four BCS National Championship Games resembled anything close to a shootout. In fact, only once in those four games did the other team score more than 14 points against the eventual SEC national champion. Florida beat Oklahoma 24-14 last season. Florida beat Ohio State 41-14 in 2006, and LSU beat Oklahoma 21-14 in 2003. In 2007, LSU defeated Ohio State 38-24, but two of the Buckeyes' touchdowns came in the second half after the Tigers had taken a 31-10 lead. It's a recipe for success that's not going to change any time soon in the SEC. Winning in this league is all about getting defensive. http://espn.go.com/blog/sec/post/_/id/4473/defense-reigns-supreme-in-the-sec --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -~--~~~~--~~--~--~---

[gatortalk] Re: Moody (was Monday Morning Procrastination)
For what it's worth (and based on what we've seen thus far, that's not a lot) Meyer was asked about Moody and said that he will become a bigger part of the offense, that he had a four week late start this year due to injuries, his demeanor and work ethic has him on the verge of getting more carries, etc., ad nauseum, ad infinitum. There are a lot of folks wondering why he hasn't toted the rock more. The only thing I can come up with is that they don't wish to take carries away from Demps, who is our home run back. Realistically, looking at the philosophy we supposedly have of spreading the ball around to our playmakers, the only logical candidate to share some of his carries with Moody is Tebow. And while that certainly makes sense on one hand, I can see why it's tougher on a defense to know what Tebow is going to do with the ball in his hands than it is when Moody carries it. I guess we'll see. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -~--~~~~--~~--~--~---
[gatortalk] Re: What is your prediction for the Arkansas offense ?
Thanks for providing your insights Bert - I always enjoy them. If I can play devil's advocate I'd like to address some of your points (see - it's not just you Keith!) 1) Florida's defense is on par with 'Bama's, so I suspect we will struggle. HOWEVER, we have significantly improved since the 'Bama game, so I don't think we'll be shutdown. Do you think your improvement may have to do with the fact that you've played defenses that aren't as good since the 'Bama game? Mallett is getting a lot better at finding his 3rd or 4th option quickly. But y'all are right that he's a pocket passer, and not a scrambler. If he scrambles, he'll look to run some, but mostly will try to set up outside the pocket and throw. He usually makes good decisions regarding throwing it away though. If he doesn't thow quickly he'll be meat. He's a stout kid, but QBs that aren't very mobile are usually in for long days against us, especially if they have a lot of long developing patterns. I expect we'll see a lot of slants, quick outs, and bubble screens to try and keep our offense off of the field and our linemen and linebackers off of Mallett. I hope we don't get any stupid personal fouls, but I know some of our players were pissed off at Mallett last year when he shoved some of our players on your sideline after they had made tackles. 2) Our top receiver, Joe Adams, had a minor stroke (yes, you read that right) last Monday and didn't play over the weekend. I read that - I hope the young man has a complete and quick recovery - that is just so scary for a kid that age. 3) Our second leading receiver, Jarius Wright, had a concussion on Saturday, so his status is unknown for Saturday. The hit he took wasn't as nasty as Tebow's, but as always, you don't want to rush back to the field. I think he should take the advice of Zeb's neurologist buddies and wait awhile to play - at the very least one more game. ;) 4) Our running game is finally starting to come into its own. It took a bit for our O-line, which was primarily recruited for run blocking, to get the balance worked out after working so hard on adjusting to pass block. Smith is a weapon - do you know how his hamstring is coming along? The USC transfer is a big back, but I don't think he's nearly as scary as Scott from LSU and we held him pretty much in check. 5) One of our top weapons right now is Dennis Johnson, our kick returner. He leads the SEC in average and is sixth in the nation. He's something else when he gets a lane. Should be a good matchup - our coverage teams have been very good this year - the kid from Kentucky (Locke I think) was not allowed to hurt us - and we kicked off a lot that game! 6) I don't think y'all will run wild on our defense, as they are much improved, but I know we'll struggle against y'all. My pick: Florida 27, Arkansas 17. I'd take that in a heartbeat - My score prediction is Gators 34, Hogs 7. Good luck!

Cocks lose to Bama this week and we will have played only one ranked team during the regular season. My arguement is simply this. Unranked SEC teams are stronger/tougher than 90% of the teams from other conferences that are ranked! It's a bit early to be talking SOS. At the beginning of the year, there were more ranked teams on our schedule (FSU UGa come to mind). At the end of the year, there will be more as well.

This actually helps dispel the myth that Urban and Co. are happy with long boring drives that eat up the clock. They would be happier if Demps could take one of these dive plays and go 60 yards. If they were really interested in 12-15 play drives, they would use Moody more. As I say this, I don't have anything against Demps and Rainey, I just think we are utilizing them in the wrong way. It is okay to run them between the tackles occasionally to keep the defense honest, but it shouldn't be their staple.

If I can play devil's advocate I'd like to address some of your points (see - it's not just you Keith!) 1) Florida's defense is on par with 'Bama's, so I suspect we will struggle. HOWEVER, we have significantly improved since the 'Bama game, so I don't think we'll be shutdown. Do you think your improvement may have to do with the fact that you've played defenses that aren't as good since the 'Bama game? Mallett is getting a lot better at finding his 3rd or 4th option quickly. But y'all are right that he's a pocket passer, and not a scrambler. If he scrambles, he'll look to run some, but mostly will try to set up outside the pocket and throw. He usually makes good decisions regarding throwing it away though. If he doesn't thow quickly he'll be meat. He's a stout kid, but QBs that aren't very mobile are usually in for long days against us, especially if they have a lot of long developing patterns. I expect we'll see a lot of slants, quick outs, and bubble screens to try and keep our offense off of the field and our linemen and linebackers off of Mallett. I hope we don't get any stupid personal fouls, but I know some of our players were pissed off at Mallett last year when he shoved some of our players on your sideline after they had made tackles. 2) Our top receiver, Joe Adams, had a minor stroke (yes, you read that right) last Monday and didn't play over the weekend. I read that - I hope the young man has a complete and quick recovery - that is just so scary for a kid that age. 3) Our second leading receiver, Jarius Wright, had a concussion on Saturday, so his status is unknown for Saturday. The hit he took wasn't as nasty as Tebow's, but as always, you don't want to rush back to the field. I think he should take the advice of Zeb's neurologist buddies and wait awhile to play - at the very least one more game. ;) 4) Our running game is finally starting to come into its own. It took a bit for our O-line, which was primarily recruited for run blocking, to get the balance worked out after working so hard on adjusting to pass block. Smith is a weapon - do you know how his hamstring is coming along? The USC transfer is a big back, but I don't think he's nearly as scary as Scott from LSU and we held him pretty much in check. 5) One of our top weapons right now is Dennis Johnson, our kick returner. He leads the SEC in average and is sixth in the nation. He's something else when he gets a lane. Should be a good matchup - our coverage teams have been very good this year - the kid from Kentucky (Locke I think) was not allowed to hurt us - and we kicked off a lot that game! 6) I don't think y'all will run wild on our defense, as they are much improved, but I know we'll struggle against y'all. My pick: Florida 27, Arkansas 17. I'd take that in a heartbeat - My score prediction is Gators 34, Hogs 7. Good luck!

Certainly that does have something to do with it. But I also think they've grown up some too. No, not spectacular. But better. I know y'all return all 11 on D, so it won't be cakewalk :) If he doesn't thow quickly he'll be meat.

Oh yeah, I'd forgotten about that :) My biggest concern regarding your thoughts is Adams and Wright not being healthy. They're the receivers that keep the CBs from sitting right on the line of scrimmage, opening up the quick outs, slants, hooks, etc. Re: Adams I read that - I hope the young man has a complete and quick recovery - that is just so scary for a kid that age. Yeah, 19... Ouch... Re: Wright I think he should take the advice of Zeb's neurologist buddies and wait awhile to play - at the very least one more game. ;) Not that there's an ulterior motive in there, huh? :) Smith is a weapon - do you know how his hamstring is coming along? The USC transfer is a big back, but I don't think he's nearly as scary as Scott from LSU and we held him pretty much in check. Michael Smith is listed day-to-day, so I suspect he'll play. The big thing to consider with our RBs is that we have a monster stable of folks. Smith is just now getting to form, but others have been doing what they've needed to of late. Green (the USC transfer) is indeed good, but so are Wingo and a host of others. We've struggled on 3rd and short and goal line rushing, but if we can get in the open field, we do well. Of course, D speed might affect that a bit. :) re: Dennis Johnson Should be a good matchup - our coverage teams have been very good this year - the kid from Kentucky (Locke I think) was not allowed to hurt us - and we kicked off a lot that game! Well, hopefully DJ only gets one kick return against y'all on Saturday :) Y'all can pick the start of which half :) I'd take that in a heartbeat - My score prediction is Gators 34, Hogs 7. I still like my pick (27-17), but I wouldn't be surprised if y'all tacked on an extra 7... I don't think we'll be held to 7... One thing that came out of the Bama game was the team basically being deer-in- the-headlights most of the game. Petrino even commented that they never believed they could win. Yeah, the Swamp is no picnic, but we've had a tough road game, and I think they'll be more prepared and less afraid than they were against Bama. Plus, winning promotes confidence, so who knows. :) We've beaten two straight undefeated teams.

[gatortalk] North vs. South
College Football Time Planning for the fall football season in the South is radically different than up North. For those who are planning a football trip South, here are some helpful hints. Women's Accessories: NORTH: Chap Stick in back pocket and a $20 bill in the front pocket. SOUTH: Louis Vuitton duffel with two lipsticks, waterproof mascara, and a fifth of bourbon. Money not necessary - that's what dates are for. Stadium Size: NORTH: College football stadiums hold 20,000 people. SOUTH: High school football stadiums hold 20,000 people. Fathers: NORTH: Expect their daughters to understand Sylvia Plath. SOUTH: Expect their daughters to understand pass interference. Campus Decor: NORTH: Statues of founding fathers. SOUTH: Statues of Heisman trophy winners.. Homecoming Queen: NORTH: Also a physics major. SOUTH: Also Miss America . Heroes: NORTH: Rudy Giuliani SOUTH: Archie, Peyton Eli Manning Getting Tickets: NORTH: 5 days before the gameyou walk into the ticket office on campus. SOUTH: 5 months before the game you walk into the ticket office on campus, make a large financial contribution and put name on a waiting list for tickets. Friday Classes After a Thursday Night Game: NORTH: Students and teachers not sure they're going to the game, because they have classes on Friday. SOUTH: Teachers cancel Friday classes because they don't want to see the few hung over students that might actually make it to class. Parking: NORTH: An hour before game time, the University opens the campus for game parking. SOUTH: RVs sporting their school flags begin arriving on Wednesday for the weekend festivities. The really faithful arrive on Tuesday. Game Day: NORTH: A few students party in the dorm and watch ESPN on TV. SOUTH: Every student wakes up, has a beer for breakfast, and rushes over to where ESPN is broadcasting Game Day Live to get on camera and wave to the idiots up north who wonder why Game Day Live is never Broadcast from their campus. Tailgating: NORTH: Raw meat on a grill, beer with lime in it, listening to local radiostation with truck tailgate down. SOUTH: 30-foot custom pig-shaped smoker fires up at dawn. Cooking accompanied by live performance from the Dave Matthews Band, who come over during breaks and ask for a hit off bottle of bourbon. Getting to the Stadium: NORTH: You ask Where's the stadium? When you find it, you walk right in. SOUTH: When you're near it, you'll hear it. On game day it is the state's third largest city. Concessions: NORTH: Drinks served in a paper cup, filled to the top with soda. SOUTH: Drinks served in a plastic cup, with the home team's mascot on it, filled less than half way with soda, to ensure enough room for bourbon. When National Anthem is Played: NORTH : Stands are less than half full, and less than half of them stand up. SOUTH: 100,000 fans, all standing, sing along in perfect four-part harmony. The Smell in the Air After the First Score: NORTH: Nothing changes. SOUTH: Fireworks, with a touch of bourbon. Commentary (Male): NORTH: Nice play. SOUTH: Dangit, you slow idiot - tackle him and break his legs. Commentary (Female): NORTH: My, this certainly is a violent sport. SOUTH: Dangit, you slow idiot - tackle him and break his legs. Announcers: NORTH: Neutral and paid. SOUTH: Announcer harmonizes with the crowd in the fight song, with a tear in his eye because he is so proud of his team. After the Game: NORTH: The stadium is empty way before the game ends. SOUTH: Another rack of ribs goes on the smoker, while somebody goes to the nearest package store for more bourbon, and planning begins for next week's game.. A.

I know. Weird name for an event. Thought I would pass out on the ride over with the windows up. When we got there I headed straight for the food. They were selling Zippy the Pinhead t-shirts. A couple boats actually got lost on the Arlington River. Many others were spotted floating aimlessly, looking at the clouds through their sunglasses. Pizza and beer capped off the long day.

Yes, I am still alive. Unlike some coaches we know. I knew when it was time to retire. Been lurking and listening. With McKibben on here it just doesn't make sense to repeat what he posts. It is uncanny how much he and I think alike when it comes to Gator football. Probably why I had him fill-in for me over the years. Anyway, I am doing fine, thanks for asking. Gators are doing fine.

I would expect similar results as compared to the Alabama game. With our lockdown corners Mallet will need time to look for his 3rd and 4th receivers. He won't have the time and Mallet hasn't been nearly as effective when pressured. Auburn's defense had trouble with West Virginia and Georgia gave up 3 TD passes to Tennessee's Crompton for crying out loud. These defenses are not up to Auburn or Georgia's usual standards. Plus Arkansas has a typical Petrino defense which is to say they don't have a defense. TT and the boys will be able to control the clock limiting Arkansas offense.

I would expect similar results as compared to the Alabama game. With our lockdown corners Mallet will need time to look for his 3rd and 4th receivers. He won't have the time and Mallet hasn't been nearly as effective when pressured. Auburn's defense had trouble with West Virginia and Georgia gave up 3 TD passes to Tennessee's Crompton for crying out loud. These defenses are not up to Auburn or Georgia's usual standards. Plus Arkansas has a typical Petrino defense which is to say they don't have a defense. TT and the boys will be able to control the clock limiting Arkansas offense.

[gatortalk] Re: North vs. South
Yes, I did graduate from Andrew Jackson Senior High School in 1960. I am on the planning committee for our 50th reunion next year. Yes, we had Thanksgiving Lunch as I recall, then all went to the Gator Bowl. All my parents, aunts and uncles graduated from AJSHS. It was a dress-up game with girls/women wearing corsages on gowns and dresses and men sporting boutonnieres on their suit coats. All decorations of cars were hand-made using crepe paper and paints. It is a great memory. A. Leon Polhill, Gator Friends are the family that we choose for ourselves.

SOUTH: Teachers cancel Friday classes because they don't want to see the few hung over students that might actually make it to class. Parking: NORTH: An hour before game time, the University opens the campus for game parking. SOUTH: RVs sporting their school flags begin arriving on Wednesday for the weekend festivities. The really faithful arrive on Tuesday. Game Day: NORTH: A few students party in the dorm and watch ESPN on TV. SOUTH: Every student wakes up, has a beer for breakfast, and rushes over to where ESPN is broadcasting Game Day Live to get on camera and wave to the idiots up north who wonder why Game Day Live is never Broadcast from their campus. Tailgating: NORTH: Raw meat on a grill, beer with lime in it, listening to local radio station with truck tailgate down. SOUTH: 30-foot custom pig-shaped smoker fires up at dawn.

[gatortalk] Re: What is your prediction for the Arkansas offense ?
Absolutely, without a doubt. I saw it done as recently as 2006, 2007. I am a firm believer in defense wins championships. Between now and Jan 7th the only thing that matters is to survive and advance, win anyway you can. When ranked #1, margin of victory is virtually irrelevant. Staying undefeated is the key. With our defense, I don't believe there is a game between now and then that we couldn't win by simply relying on our offensive line and running backs. Take last Saturday night, we absolutely dominated LSU in every way but the scoreboard. LSU stacked the box, knowing what was coming, yet Florida imposed their will upon LSU. Finesse team, my a$%, on Saturday we played smash mouth football as well as anybody ever has. Furthermore, despite all the rhetoric, just because we haven't demonstrated a vertical passing game, doesn't mean we don't have one, it just means we haven't had to show it. To paraphrase Quigley, I said I didn't have much use for a passing game, I didn't say I didn't know how to use the passing game. With this defense, arguably one of the best the Gators have ever produced, the offense can be very conservative and win.

When the items were found in her apartment, she claimed she was unaware of the items. Recorded calls from the jail and witness testimony contradict that claim.
