Gators Football MUST Do This Before Things Get HARDER! | Jon Sumrall · A Peek Inside Gators Football: A Show About the Florida Gators

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: I want to talk about one of my favorite segments
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: on this show, the five things that I need to
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: see from the Gators. And Will, I want you to
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: weigh in on each one of these. I think usually
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: I go five, four, but this first one is the
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: thing that if I could only pick one, I would
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: go with. And that is that I need to see
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: if we can get off the field on third down, period.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Biggest thing I need to see. If you are looking
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: for something from week one that could become a legitimate
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: problem once Florida gets into SEC play, I feel like
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: that's it. FAU went 11 of 22 on third down.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: That is 50%. And then FAU converted another four fourth downs.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: You talked about how those were super close, and they were,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: but they converted them. You can't continually give offenses extra
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: possessions and extra opportunities. Obviously, it didn't hurt Florida against FAU.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: And if it happened against Campbell, it's probably not going
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: to hurt Florida against Campbell because this offense has been
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: ridiculously efficient. But you aren't going to score 66 points
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: every Saturday. There are going to be SEC games where
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Florida scores, you know, maybe 24 points or 27 points.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: And when that happens, this defense has to get off
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: the field.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: That goes hand-in-hand, too, I think, with the defensive line.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: And what we kind of wish we had seen from
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: them against the Owls, because if it's third and eight,
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: that pass rush goes a long way in determining if
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: that is even remotely getting converted or not. So, I mean,
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: I definitely agree with you, Red, because just giving up
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: third down after third down on one drive, just demoralizing
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: to the entire team, it can totally stunt the momentum
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: that this offense will probably be generating a good bit of.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: But if the defense can't get off the field, you
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: lose a lot of that. So, that's definitely a big
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: thing to watch.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: I kind of have a benchmark that I wrote down,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: and that's that I'd love to see Campbell under 30%
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: on third down. I think that would tell me that
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Florida addressed the problem. And obviously more than a percentage,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: I want to see a defense that looks like it
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: knows exactly how it wants to attack third down. They
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: talked a lot this week, the coaching staff, about situational awareness,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: and they felt like last game kind of exposed that
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: maybe some players were not as far along with their
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: situational awareness as this coaching staff had thought that they were. So,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: you know, Florida goes to Auburn next third downs and
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Jordan hair are all completely different beast. And you can't
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: let Auburn string together 12 play drives because you couldn't
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: get off the field on third down. And I do
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: think Campbell gives one more opportunity to fix that before
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: it becomes a bigger problem.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this is kind of that chance where, I mean,
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: because I'm not sure, against SEC teams, we see Florida
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: go like, you know, only 25% on third down. So
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: I think that benchmark for this game is definitely very
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: important because it's just really hard to reach. So being
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: able to do it against an inferior opponent where you
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: have the talent, the big-time talent advantage, like this is
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: the time where there really aren't an excuse for it, right?
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: Because you don't have a former five-star playing quarterback. You
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: don't have this freak show of a tight end who
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: you just like can't cover all the time. You have
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: the talent advantage. You have the better players. Go out
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: there and shut them down when you need to.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: My number two is that I need to see more pressure.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: And listen, I know Florida forced turnovers against FAU, and
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: I think that's great. And I understand that the scheme
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: that FAU ran, you're just getting the ball out so
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: fast that that sometimes makes it a little bit more
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: difficult for that pressure to get there. But I need
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: the quarterback. I want the quarterback. to feel Florida's defensive
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: front more consistently. Out of those 53 passing attempts that
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: FAU had, Florida only had two sacks. And for me,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: that's not enough disruption. And I get it. I can
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: picture Steve Harris in my comments. I get that sacks
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: are not everything. A good pass rush isn't measured exclusively
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: by how many times the quarterback hits the ground. But
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: I want to see pressures and hits. I want to
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: see forced throws. I want to see that pocket collapse some.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: I want to see If Sixkiller, is that it? Sixkiller? Sixkiller, yeah.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: What a wild name. I'm still not over it. I
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: want to see him having to speed up his internal clock.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: And I want to see defensive linemen winning one-on-one battles
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: and edge players forcing the quarterback to kind of step up.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: And I want to see interior pressure that makes Sixkiller uncomfortable.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, great name. I hope he has a horrible name.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: I hope he has the worst day of his life.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: I hope he doesn't want to go back out in
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: the field in the second half. That's the kind of
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: day that this defensive line showing us would give so
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: much confidence going into league play. Because, you know, you
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: talk about the turnovers. Forcing turnovers is definitely a skill,
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: especially interceptions. It is so much harder to be sustainably
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: a good defense because you're picking people off in the
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: red zone versus you're lighting up their quarterback. It is
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: much more feasible that you can sustain a good pass
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: rush as opposed to a bend-don't-break when you're inside of
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: your own 30. So being able to cause that havoc
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: up front, especially from the middle of the D-line, if
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: we can see those D-tackles really get a push and
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: sort of penetrate the pocket that way, that would go
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: a long way for me in this spot. So the
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: pass rush is definitely what I'm looking at the most,
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: probably on defense, yeah.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: And I do think Sixkiller can move. So pressure him
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: without losing contain. And I think that that is kind
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: of an important distinction here. If Florida comes screaming off
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: the edge and Sixkiller steps outside and runs for 15,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: you didn't win that. Rush, but with discipline, collapse the pocket,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: keep him contained, make him throw from uncomfortable positions. And
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: you know what I also would like, and I know
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: this is asking a lot, I want turnovers too. You know,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: he threw three against Western Carolina. So I do think
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: that the opportunities will be there. If he makes bad decisions,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Florida needs to punish him for that. I want to
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: see this secondary hunting the football.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm. Back to what you said about keeping contained, like
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: we mentioned how the secondary situational awareness maybe wasn't all
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: that strong. That is the D-line's version of that. It's
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: do you not just, you know, like a bull seeing red,
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: I want the quarterback. Are you able to do that
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: while staying smart and knowing that he will beat you
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: on the outside? Being able to see better execution as
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: well as a really high IQ from those edge guys
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: in the D-tackles, that'd be really encouraging.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: So number three for me is that I want to
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: see another sharp performance from Philo. I think that his
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: first start was really encouraging. I want to see it again.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: I want to see it consistently. One good game is exciting.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: I think Gator fans left and they were like, damn,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: see why he won the job. Maybe he's a little
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: bit better than we thought he was going to be.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: But two starts where you look comfortable. Now you're establishing
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: a little bit of a trend or a pattern. I
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: don't care, however, if he throws for 400 yards. Actually,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: I kind of hope he doesn't because ideally he's not
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: playing long enough to throw for 400 yards. But I
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: do want to see if he is efficient. Like, can
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: he go– 15 of 19 for like, let's say 250
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: yards and three touchdowns and no turnovers. And then he
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: goes and takes the headset off and, you know, sits
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: down and becomes a cheerleader for, for Tramiel Jones. Like that,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: that is the kind of performance I want to see.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: All right. Well, it is time to play our favorite
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: game more or less. And this is brought to you
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: by prize picks. So they don't have, um, prop bets
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: on here right now about Florida's game, which generally happens
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: if you're playing a very overmatched opponent. So we're going
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: to go with some of the biggest games of the weekend. First,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: we got your boy on there, John Mateer, more or
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: less than one and a half passing touchdowns. Don't forget
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: guys at home, Oklahoma is playing Michigan.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: I might say less on that one. I think that
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Oklahoma-Michigan game could be a rock fight. I really think
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: that both those defenses are really strong. It was very
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: low scoring last year, so it wouldn't shock me if
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: he gets one. It might even be his fault. He
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: could just throw a slant to Satania on their own 15,
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: and all of a sudden, boom, touchdown. I think that'll
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: be low scoring. I think the ground game for Oklahoma,
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: it's a big-time prove-it game for those running backs and
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: for material with his legs. So I'll go less there
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: because I think it's going to be really a rock fight.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Okay, let's talk a little bit about the Ohio State-Texas game.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Bo Jackson, more or less than 57.5 rushing yards.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: I think that'll be more. I think Ohio State's really
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: going to put an emphasis on moving the ball on
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: the ground. Obviously, their receiver room is stupid, but we
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: talked actually on a big episode of SEC Football about
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: how Texas has done a good job with Jeremiah Smith
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: specifically in the past. So if they're able to do
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: that again, is Julian saying, right, does he need that
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: security blanket of Bo Jackson. I think Legend Bank can
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: have a great game for them too on the ground.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: But for Bo, I'll say more because I think that
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: it'll be very featured of a ground game there for
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: Ohio State.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Okay, what about receiving yards for Jeremiah Smith? More or
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: less than 81.5?
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: I feel like I have to go less based on
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: what I just said. I mean, he's got, I think
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: he's like something in the 40s over the last two games. Now,
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: could he do that in three grabs? He could, but
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: I'll say less because I'll trust Texas. I'll trust what
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: they've done to him in the past. I think they've
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: added a little mushroom to the staff some of the
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: portal ads, it's only made that passing defense better. So
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: I'll go less.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: Okay. Ryan Wingo, more or less than 53.5 receiving yards.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: I'll say more for Wingo. This feels like a game
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: where he pops one, you know, way deep over the
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: middle of the field in like the third quarter, right?
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Because Cam Coleman will get a lot of attention and
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: rightfully so. I got like Emmitt Moseley when he was
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: on the field, he will get a lot of attention.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: Wingo is just kind of the guy who's sitting there
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: in the receiver room like, dude, I was the first
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: one here. You know, I was also the five-star here
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: that Texas fans couldn't stop drooling over. So I wore more.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: I think he'd have a big game here. And it
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: might only, you know, you can only take him like
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: one or two catches because he is that explosive downfield.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Okay. Arch Manning, more or less than 247 and a
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: half passing yards.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: I'll say more because I'm a little, I had a
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: couple of questions about Texas being able to run the
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: ball consistently last week. Ohio State's front, not many people
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: know this, is actually much better than Texas State's. So
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: if that running game doesn't really take that step forward,
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: I do think that a lot of it will be
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: on Arch, and this might be his prove-it moment. This
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: is kind of the spot where Arch is going to
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: be like, alright dude, you're at home, best team in
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: the country, on your turf, you're a favorite against them,
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: go show us what you can do. I'll go more
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: for Arch.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: If not now, when? All right. Malachi Toney, more or
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: less than 109 and a half receiving yards. Again, Miami
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: is playing FAMU tomorrow night.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: That is such a stupid number for a more or less.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: That is so high.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: I'll say more, though, because I actually wrote this yesterday.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: FAMU is on three days of rest. They played their
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: last game on Sunday, and now they go to Miami
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: to play on Thursday. So you're already way overmatched. We
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: know that there's probably a bit of a Heisman agenda
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: for both Mensah and Malakatoni at this point in Miami,
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: so they want to give them those numbers. And you're
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: playing on three days of rest. I think Miami can
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: do whatever they want. So even though that number is
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: crazy high, I'll go more.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: All right, well, I've gotten them all written down over here.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: We're going to save these until next week so we
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: can see how we did, but I appreciate you playing
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: more or less.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I love how comfortable he looked last week. Even
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: though he was playing against FAU, it wasn't a high-caliber opponent,
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: being in that situation for your first, not his first start,
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: but as a true quarterback one at a school like
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: Florida in that atmosphere, that moment, even though you're at
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: home against a weak team, can get to a lot
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: of guys, and it didn't. He looked so calm. He
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: was having fun. He hit that three-six on the deep
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: ball that TJ Abrams. Just having that calmness, that coolness
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: about you, and really that swagger for a second straight week.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: Like you said, you established that pattern. You showed that
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: it wasn't just week one adrenaline, and you can really
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: trust Philo to go lead the Gators into SEC play.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I want to see decision-making, pocket presence, accuracy, timing,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: third down, ball security. And I want this offense to
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: stay aggressive. I personally don't want to see run, run, run.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: screen run, like that's because it's Campbell. Let Philo play quarterback,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: push the football vertically, work the entire offense. Because again,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: you are preparing for Auburn. So you want to use
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: these reps, right? Definitely.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: We talked about all the yards of a catch last week.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: It was great. And it showed the explosiveness of those receivers.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: But it's definitely a better idea to start testing your
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: vertical passing concepts this week than it's going to be
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: in Jordan Hare when you can't hear yourself think. So
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: being able to mix all that in, you know, without
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: obviously becoming air raid, pass heavy, losing your identity, but just,
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: you know, when you want to call your third receiver
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: screen of the day, send right on deep.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: Send down on the vertical. We just kind of want
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: to see that mixed in so you know that Philo
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: can do it, and he knows that he can do
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: it in a real 11-on-11 full game setting before you
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: hit the road next week.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: We've got a few comments before I move on to
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: number four. Anthony wants us to pitch a shutout. Me too, bud.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: Michael Dixon, no one is used to a fast-paced offense,
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: so defense is going to have six sacks and three picks.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: One of them will be a pick six. GMFG. And
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: then Gio wants to know, think we can cover the spread.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: I do, even though it is a really large spread. 49.5
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: is a large spread. I think Buster loves the idea
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: of scoring a shit ton of points, and I think
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: Summerall does too. And it feels like he basically told
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: us at his press conference that he's not down to
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: put guys in that are not going to get to
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: play often and then tell them not to score. So
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: I do actually think they will do their best. I
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: also think they're in this– they understand– what Florida fans
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: are looking for. Like if this staff does the best thing,
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: this staff does that they do nothing else. Well, it's
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: that they understand what makes this fan base tick and
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: they like kind of cater to that. I think so. They,
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: they scored 66 points cause they knew we loved 66 points.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: And that makes me think that we'll see a lot
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: of points this week as well, but it may depend
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: some on how long starters are in there for. Um,
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: I also want to make sure chili Willie says, smash
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: the like button and show some love guys. Listen, This
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: channel has grown so much over the last couple of months.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: If you are watching this live and you are not subscribed,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: do me a favor and hit that subscribe button right now.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: It takes two seconds. It's totally free. Definitely helps out
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: the channel. Okay, my number four is that I need
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: to see us dominate both lines of scrimmage. And, you know,
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: against Campbell, Florida should look physically different. And I don't
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: mean that in a disrespectful way to Campbell, but that
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: is reality. This is an SEC roster game. against an
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: FCS roster. And I need that disparity to be so
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: glaringly obvious. And, you know, Campbell held Western Kentucky to
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: one rushing yard, and I think that's impressive. Florida should
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: look at that statistic as a challenge. I want to
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: see Florida line up and say, we are running the football.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: Stop us. And not because it's the only way to
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: beat Campbell. Florida could probably throw all night, never run
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: the ball with Jaden Ball, and they are still going
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: to crush Campbell. But because Florida needs to know If
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: it can move people when everybody in the entire stadium
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: knows we are running the ball and we need that
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: answer before we go into Auburn. So, you know, things
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: like short yardage, can Florida convert third and one without
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: getting cute goal line? Like can Florida get movement inside zone?
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: Are D tackles getting pushed backwards? Outside runs, are the
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: tackles and the tight end sealing edges, pass protection, like
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: is Philo comfortable in the pocket? I need to see
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: all of that. And then on the other side of
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: the ball, basically same thing. I don't want Campbell consistently
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: getting four or five yards on first down. Win first down.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: Create second and nine. Create third and eight. Get off
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: the field. Turn the pass rush loose. We've talked so
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: much tonight, and Will, you and I have talked on
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: this channel for weeks about this, that Auburn is going
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: to be Florida's first real test physically. But I want
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: them to leave this game believing that their offense and
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: defensive fronts are ready for SEC football.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: For the offensive line, being able to go from In
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: the spring, you're coached publicly saying, that room is not
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: good enough right now. To then in the fall, talking
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: about how they've gotten bigger, they've gotten stronger, we've got
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: to see how it goes. And then in week two,
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: I don't care who it is, you can look at
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: that unit and be like, we are going to dominate you.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: I'm going to push you into the ground. Look, we're
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: running to the left. Come get them. You can't do it.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: Just that's going to be a massive confidence boost for
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: the team, but also for those five guys. Knowing that
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: it's hard coaching, but just knowing that you were kind
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: of the concern of that team initially. being able to
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: take that in stride, not pout about it, but say,
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: all right, I'm going to go do something about this
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: and then put dudes in the dirt, that's going to
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: be a big confidence boost.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. And I think that they have the
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: ability to do this. I did an offensive line breakdown
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: earlier in the week with Landon Tegwall, who played for
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Phil Troutwine. And I was so impressed with Landon's breakdown
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: and listening to him tell me, like, okay, well, in
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: the meeting room, this is exactly how Coach Trout is
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: going to address this issue or this issue. But he
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: ranks offensive lines. He watches pretty much every major power
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: four team across the country. And then he ranks offensive
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: lines each week. He ranked Florida second in the country.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: And I was like, but FAU. And he was like, no,
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: this is a technique-based ranking. It doesn't matter who the
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: opponent is because your technique should be the same either way.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: And Iowa was one, which he's like, good luck on
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: seeding Iowa, essentially like that's in the corn, but I
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: thought that was so interesting. And I walked away so
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: encouraged because being technically sound is basically like the key to,
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: to all of this. I feel like, um, okay. So
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: my number five, I think like this probably goes without saying,
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: but is to put the game away early and develop
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: your roster. Like, I think that's actually probably the goal
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: of Saturday other than, you know, get out healthy, but, uh,
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: We don't want this starting lineup playing deep into the
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: fourth quarter. I don't want them playing deep into the
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: third quarter. I want this game over early. Can it
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: be 21-0 first quarter, 35-7 halftime, or 38-7, or something
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: like that? And honestly, the points don't matter. I don't
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: care about style points in this. I want Florida to
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: get control of the game. And then you can move
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: on to your secondary goal. You know you're handling the winning,
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: but then it becomes about developing. Get Philo out. If
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: he plays well and Florida has a big lead, great.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: You're done. You're protected. Get out. Get Jaden Ball out.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: He doesn't need to be carrying the ball when Florida's
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: up by five touchdowns. I want to see young guys
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: actually play. I want to let Tramell Jones run the offense.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: I want to see him throw and make checks and
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: Run third down plays. I want to see young receivers.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: You know, we have such a talented wide receiver room.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: Sit them all. Let young receivers get meaningful targets. Let
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: backup offensive linemen protect in obvious pass situations. Let young
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: DBs cover. Let young defensive linemen rush the quarterback. Because
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: once SEC play starts, these opportunities become so much harder
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: to find. And inevitably, during a football season, somebody gets hurt.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: Somebody else has to play. you're going to need one
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: of these guys eventually. And Saturday might be your last
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: chance to prepare him before you're forced to play him.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: I love watching Jaden Ball run the football. I wish
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: I could do it 20 times a day. He does
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: not need to have 14 carries again this week like
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: I did last week.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: He can take it.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: He's very durable. But, you know, as you go into
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: this stretch of 10 straight power four opponents, you're going
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: to want to have those five less carries that you
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: could have given them against Campbell when you're in Austin
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: or when you're in Atlanta playing against Georgia. So, Just
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: kind of echoing what you said, being able to get
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: those guys out after having productive days is very important.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: And for the offensive line too, you talked about the
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: technique of those front five guys to get in those
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: depth pieces and then being able to put on film
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: for them and for Trotwine so that they can really
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: address the depth of it. Because if a tackle goes
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: down or if Harrison Moore gets hurt, you've got to
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: know that you have somebody back there who not only
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: you can trust, but who you've already been able to
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: see develop and have a chance to really coach up
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: in another game setting. Those reps, like you said, are
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: just so valuable early on in the year. when, I
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: don't want to say consequence-free, but it's pretty much consequence-free
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: here in this week, to be able to get those
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: guys extra run.
