Chompin' at the Bit - Vol. 8

Week 6 Recap

As you know, the LSU game was cancelled due to the weather and has been rescheduled for November 19th. But get this, not at the Swamp as originally scheduled, it's now AT LSU... -_- The way LSU handled this entire situation made me lose every ounce of respect I had for them. This is the SEC. This is supposed to be a brotherhood. You care more about playing a game than the well-being of the people of our home state? Nah, that doesn't fly with me. *Inserts explicit comment about LSU* You would think they would be considerate of our fans and player's families that were affected since natural disasters have affected them in recent history as well, right? Guess not... I hope we come out and busts their head in Louisiana on November 19th. Gators, y'all better get up for that game too... You should already have all the motivation you need. Don't lay an egg.

On a lighter note, the Gators are somewhat back in the SEC Championship hunt without playing last week. Tennessee lost to Texas A&M last weekend and they play Bama this weekend. Hopefully that equates to their second conference loss, putting us back in the drivers seat in the SEC East. Prayers up and fingers crossed for a Tennessee loss this weekend! Amen.

Week 7 Preview

This week the Gators take on the Missouri Tigers for Homecoming. The Gators are tied in the all-time series 2-2. The Gators won on the road last year at Mizzou 21-3. This season, Mizzou comes in with one of the more explosive passing offenses in the SEC so it should be a nice test for our secondary. I expect Teez and Quincy to have a good day, holding it down for us on the outside. Let's see if DBU lives up to their name again.

QB Luke Del Rio is back in the starting lineup so I am hoping the offense will get back into a rhythm and praying they put up some points. Coach Mac, again... please stop the running back carousel. Scarlett and Perine are the backs most likely to hit a home run, so why not create a thunder and lighting duo with them? I guarantee you it's more effective than what we have been doing too. Word is WR Tyrie Cleveland has earned more P.T. so I am excited to see what he does this week; keep an eye out for 89.

Prediction: Mizzou 13,  UF 27 (5-1, 3-1 SEC)
