LSU has WON 31 staright HOME NIGHT GAMES!

[yisman]

But I'm still on the positive side with my units....


ouch

Not if you include baseball, you're not.

[yisman]

1)I want Tebow to play. He would'nt [sic] make a difference in this game. His WR will have to make plays to win this game.

You are not living in the same world. You are completely delusional.

2) Overrated but still winning.

3) Could have lost 3 games but won all 3

4) last year team would'nt [sic] have went into Georgia and won. Now you have lost all my respect you can debate with the Computer screen.

are you trying to compare this years uga team with last years??? they lost the best pure qb and best rb in the sec... i sure hope you arent trying to compare the 2 teams because you would have been smashed like last year if these 2 players were still at uga. what a moron

[ZBOIZ]

I say that this Florida team would never find themselves needing a goal line stand to beat a shitty Mississippi St. team (like LSU needed) and you turn that into me saying Florida is unbeatable?

you want to judge my capping? Let's have a competition. You're top 5 plays this week against my top 5. How much?

I think I have all my points wagering on the Florida game


I will be filthy rich with points after that game.

All I'm saying is LSU would'nt have went into Athens last year and won.

[Dbldown11]

Tebow is no longer showing any symptoms of a concussion.....according to news reports

[Dbldown11]

All I'm saying is LSU would'nt have went into Athens last year and won.

Yes you're right and this year's LSU team wouldnt have went into Athens and won against last years UGA team either.....THAT WAS HIS POINT

[ZBOIZ]

Tebow is no longer showing any symptoms of a concussion.....according to news reports

The media does'nt no more than us. They are only asking and getting what the coaches want to leak. If Tebow was 100% I'm sure he'll be practicing for Saturday night game.

[ZBOIZ]

Yes you're right and this year's LSU team wouldnt have went into Athens and won against last years UGA team either.....THAT WAS HIS POINT

And I'm saying LAST YEAR LSU team would'nt have beat both last year and this year team.

Lets not take the factor of beating someone on there home field away from a teams credit.

[Dbldown11]

And I'm saying LAST YEAR LSU team would'nt have beat both last year and this year team.

Lets not take the factor of beating someone on there home field away from a teams credit.

I've already conceded that this years LSU team is better than last years......I think LSU would beat Troy by at least 17 this year

[Dbldown11]

They may not no more than us................

but they may KNOW more than us.

haha sorry cheap shot, but had to take it

GAINESVILLE — When Florida wide receivers coach Billy Gonzales looked around the practice field Sunday night, he realized that injuries and illness had left the Gators without six scholarship receivers.
Senior Riley Cooper sat out with a pinched nerve and to rest a chronic foot problem. Redshirt sophomore Deonte Thompson had a hamstring pull that kept him out of the Tennessee game, senior David Nelson was held out, and junior tight end Aaron Hernandez had the flu. Senior Carl Moore has not played this season as he recovers from a medical procedure in his back, and freshman phenom Andre Debose is out for the season after he had surgery last week to repair a torn hamstring tendon.
"If I had any of the six guys, that would help me right now," Gonzales said. "But that's the way the ball bounces. We've got to coach the ones we've got right now. That's my responsibility."
What he has got hasn't quite lived up to the coaches' expectations. Outside of Cooper and Hernandez, the receivers haven't been consistently productive, and replacing former receiver Percy Harvin has turned out to be as tough as expected. In Saturday's win over Tennessee, Monte Kiffin's defense exposed a weakness the Gators believed they had addressed. With Thompson sidelined, Hernandez sick and Cooper not at full speed, Florida was unable to stretch its offense, leaving doubt about the unit without its starters.
"Right now, our receiving corps is not at Florida standards," coach Urban Meyer said. "When Deonte (Thompson) is in there, I think it is. When he's not, there are some young players that are starting to make a move, they've just got to get better. There's going to be a lot of sense of urgency with that group this week because that limits you and you don't have a very good stretch in your offense. We've been very blessed the last four years. We've had some vertical push."
The Tennessee game was the first time since at least 1997 that no Florida receiver gained 30 or more yards — a total of 156 games. Cooper leads the team with 212 yards on 13 catches, averaging nearly 71 yards per game, followed by Hernandez with 144 yards and 12 receptions. Ten receivers have caught passes in the first three games, but Florida hasn't gotten consistent play from young guys such as redshirt freshmen Omarius Hines and Frankie Hammond, and redshirt junior Justin Williams.
"We're not really worried about playing, we're just going as hard as we can." Hines said. "We're down in numbers in receivers right now. The three of us are really trying to step up and contribute to this team."
"It's day to day with those guys," Meyer said. "We're trying to accelerate the growth process."
In some ways, this mirrors the Gators' 2005 season. That year, Tampa native and former Gator receiver Andre Caldwell broke his leg early in the season against Tennessee, Dallas Baker had a broken rib and Jemalle Cornelius had a high ankle sprain. The difference now, Meyer said, is the Gators have ways to mask the deficiency while they correct the problems.
"Our running backs and tailbacks had to take over the (Tennessee) game," Meyer said. "It's good to have that opportunity. Five years ago, with those receivers out of the game, we're all looking at each other saying, 'Where do we go now?' We have more depth now, but we've just got to get a little better."
Meyer said Hines and T.J. Lawrence have shown potential, but many of the young players are going through what he terms the sophomore blues. "We just don't have time to wait for them," he said.
Which is where Gonzales' job becomes more important, and possibly more difficult. No matter what, the young players won't see playing time until they start showing it on a consistent basis in practice.
"The only way that you get better and the only way that you play here at Florida — and it has never changed — is you've got to make plays in practice," he said. "The word gamer, we don't believe in that here. You've got to make the plays over and over in practice. … Our upperclassmen right now are doing that, but the younger guys, they need to make those plays. It's not just being given an opportunity. They have an obligation and a responsibility to make those plays before they walk on the football field."

Dbldown,

Coaches will not leak certain information. Example Billicheck is known big time for that. Also Miles is known for that. All these coaches are very careful when it come to injury reports. There's no hiding Florida WR struggles. It's bad!

[Dbldown11]

AND...................there is no hiding LSU's team struggles THEY ARE MEDIOCRE!

[ZBOIZ]

FLORIDA DEFENSE VS. CHARLESTON SOUTHERN

Florida's defense also looked shaky at times. The Gators gave up 323 yards and looked nothing like the unit that slowed down Heisman Trophy winner Sam Bradford and Oklahoma in the Bowl Championship Series title game in Miami.

[Dbldown11]

Dude....they won 62-3, and the fact that they gave up 323 yards is a big issue?

[Mac4Lyfe]

Zboiz - you will see first hand this weekend how bad UF's WR's are. I bet your going to think UF is making it rain based on how much they stretch the field.

I've already told you that Tebow is playing in the game. I have sources that tell me that he will practice on Wednesday. Whether that will be disclosed to the public or not, we shall see but even if he doesn't play in practice, he is playing in the game. They are ready to bring him in the game with zero practice time. That's how much they trust Tebow will be ready. Take that for what it's worth.

[twincities77]

What's going on with all these posts (on both sides) talking about how Tim Tebow starting doesn't matter? He's one of the best players in the country, of course it matters.

[wal66]

Z.............I gotta give you credit bro you are second only to Pags when it comes to poster response. I hope if you are in college you are majoring in Public Relations because you are living proof that any press is good press for ones ego.

[wal66]

What's going on with all these posts (on both sides) talking about how Tim Tebow starting doesn't matter? He's one of the best players in the country, of course it matters.

Twins........Tebow is Tebow but Florida is completely capable with Brantley under center. It is a different demention that he brings to the table. While not nearly the emotional leader or aggressive punnishing runner that Tebow is he is a vastly improvement as a passer. While the receiving core isn't as good as previous Florida teams have been with a better more pure passer at the helm they would be beter than they have shown. Tebow does what he can as a passer and at times has thrown some passes as good as anyone could but from a consistant standpoint his deliveries force receivers to do more adjusting to him than they would have to in other circumstances.

[twincities77]

Thanks for the info Wal. From what I can tell, the line is 9 assuming Tebow plays. If he didn't I can't see any way UF -9 would be a good play.

[wal66]

Gotta do what you think best Twins but for me the line at 9 makes no difference with either behind center. You feel more confident with Tebow and that's understandable but Brantley can hold his own.

Ask yourself this question what does it matter who's handing the ball to Rainey, Demps, James or Moody? Now consider passes being more closely on target and in time with the receivers. Just my take on things not trying to convince you of anything,

[twincities77]

No worries Wal, I'm not taking either team as the spread seems about right for me. Either way it seems moot as it sounds like Tebow will play. It will be interesting if the line gets higher if this is confirmed.

[raydog]

this thread is hilarious. you got zboiz begging for the line to go up to 12 when its falling right now and you got guys claiming they got "inside info" on tebows status when its been all over espn that he is expected to be cleared for practice on wednesday. i love these threads

[Mac4Lyfe]

How would ESPN know that he's cleared for practice? I have heard noone say Wednesday but my guy? Maybe their listening to the same guy I listen to. ESPN just said that he should be cleared for the end of the week not Wednesday...

[Mac4Lyfe]

Plus, I've already said and Wal has said that we both think UF will cover the spread whether or not Tebow plays. I'm just telling you ahead of time that he will play. I think the line right now is based on the uncertainty of him not playing. Once it's confirmed that he's playing I think the line will go up not down.

[RoagBettor]

I love it when the media is playing down a team like Florida and everything coming out is negative. Same thing with the Steelers last night, all you heard about this past week was how they couldn't run the ball, the offensive line was hurt, the defense sucked (which it did in the 4th qtr), etc. - all negatives all week. And the public kept pounding the Chargers but the line never moved from 6.

The public is pounding LSU and the line moves down so the SUCKERS keep loading up. The books will clean up when Florida destroys them, and they'll be taking ZB's $10 with them!
