In the Interest of being Impartial GatorfromAtlanta Sent Us His Assessment

I decided to post it because it does not have the typical Gator Bullshit embedded in it. Despite all of the acronyms, puncuation and grammar errors so common from Gators this is a good and unemotional view of the game. Thanks for the email gatorinatlanta

My Quick Analysis of UF-UT Game... simply put, UF is slightly better than UT on both sides of the ball, therefore assume both teams play to their capabilities, UF will stop UT slightly more than UT will stop UF.UT's O is good, QB playing at a high level, throwing to dangerous WRs, decent running games, being blocked for by a rebuilt OL w/ 1 stellaer OT...

I rank UT's O an 8 due to rebuilt interior OL and running game questions....UF's O is good, same as UT's but that UF appears to have a couple more weapons than UT, although running game is as much of a question mark as UT's is...UF's O also has a rebuilt OL and TB questions, but with the extra playmakers I rank UF an 8 1/2 on OUT's D I rank a 6, a lot of new faces in the front 7, UT has some playmakers up front in McBride and Mayo and Harrell if healthy...UT had a stellar secondary, with loss of Inky J it is now maybe not quite so stellar...

I rank UF's D a 7, UF returns 6 of 7 starters up front plus 2 very capable backups in DT Joe Cohen and DE D Harvey...UT does not have that kind of depth..questions on D are in the secondary, where UF replaces 3 starters, but the unit has been rock solid thus far v average competition..When UT has the ball, it will not be able to run v UF but w/ Cutcliffe calling the plays and UF's CBs giving some cushion to avoid the home run, UT will be able to move the ball into scoring range... I do not think UF will get great pressure v Ainge, but will sack him twice...without turnovers or special team big plays, I think UT's O is good for about 20 points v UF's D...When UF has the ball it will be a high risk, high reward kind of O, UT will get pressure on leak and sack him 4 times on blitzes, but UF will have some long TD plays against the blitz or when new safety Dee Morley gets caught out of position...

I think UF has 2 50 yard plus TD plays, UT will have none w/ Nelson and Joiner roaming deep...without turnovers or special team big plays, I think UF's O is good for about 31 points v UF's D...So before turnovers or special team big plays, UF is about 11 points better in my mind, so all it would take is 1 huge TO or a big UT runback to make this a game down to the wire....If UF is -2 in the TO category v UT it will probably lose...Coach Meyer needs to be careful to putt Tim Tebow in the right situations...Final Score, UF 31, UT 27...Vols 31 Jorts 28
