• 0:13
  Speaker 2: before I even tell you why South Carolina is more
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: dangerous than people think, do me a favor and make
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: sure you're subscribed to this channel. 50% of you that
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: watch me on a regular basis are not subscribed.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: It's free. It takes two seconds.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: It's a great way to support the channel. So I'd
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: appreciate it if you do it right now. Okay, so
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: I do think South Carolina is a dangerous game for Florida.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: It's not because I think South Carolina is suddenly the
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: best team on Florida's schedule.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: They are not.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: But Missouri is also not. It's because, you know, I
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: don't think Florida should be scared of them.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: They shouldn't be.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: But I just think it's about where it falls. Florida's
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: coming off an embarrassing loss to Missouri. Texas is waiting
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: right after this. The fan base is frustrated, and rightfully so.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: The players have spent all week answering questions about what
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: went wrong. And that is exactly the kind of spot
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: where a team can walk in thinking that.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: The hard part's over. It is not.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: South Carolina is not going to care about Florida's ranking.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: And they don't care that they're 0-3 in the SEC.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: They don't care about what happened against Ole Miss. They're
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: not going to care that Texas is next. They are
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: going to come into the swamp trying to make Florida uncomfortable.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: And if Florida is not mentally ready for that, that
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: can become a much tougher game than I think people
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: maybe expect.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: I hate the phrase trap game. because I think it
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: gets overused.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: We talked about last week was Missouri a trap game
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: after Florida's emotional win against Ole Miss. I think we're
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: seeing across the conference this year that trap games are
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: kind of a real thing, even though we hate the
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: term and it gets used a lot. Think about the
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: emotional letdowns that have happened for so many teams across
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: the country so far.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: It's happened for Ole Miss.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: I think it happened for Mississippi State.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: It's happened for Florida.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: It happens across the conference, and it's because there's so
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: much parity. But I do think if there was ever
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: a week where this trap game moniker applies, this is
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: probably pretty close to it. Florida's coming off a loss
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: that took a lot out of them emotionally. Now everybody
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: is talking about response and leadership and discipline and whether
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: they were exposed. And then sitting right behind South Carolina
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: is Texas. And that's a recipe for disaster. And South
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Carolina has nothing to lose. That makes them dangerous. When
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: you are a team expected to win, the pressure's on you.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: South Carolina can come in aggressive. They can take chances.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: They can play loose. Florida can't. Florida has to be
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: sharp from opening kick.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: Now, I don't think that they can expect coming home
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: to the swamp will fix everything either.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: I do think coming home helps.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: There's no doubt about that. The swamp can change a game.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: We saw it against Ole Miss. But the crowd can't block.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: The crowd can't tackle. And the crowd can't fix penalties.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: And the crowd can't make halftime adjustments. Florida has to
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: do that. And I think that there is a danger
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: after a road loss of assuming everything gets easier when
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: you come home.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: It doesn't. The environment helps.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: But if Florida plays sloppy football, South Carolina can still
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: punish them. And it is in front of all of
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: your fans. So, you know, people watched it on TV.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: A small amount of people traveled there. Imagine 90,000 of
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: your most diehard.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Fans watching you not play well. It's not good.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: And South Carolina will try to copy what Missouri did.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: And that's one of the things I'm going to watch.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Every coach in America does this. If somebody puts something
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: on film that works, the next opponent tries to test it. Hey,
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: did they fix it or does it still work? Missouri
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: found ways to disrupt Florida up front.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: They got penetration.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: They made Florida play behind the chains. They found success
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: running the football. So why would South Carolina not try
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: the same thing? Florida's going to see some version of
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: what hurt them last week. That is almost guaranteed. And
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: this is where the game gets interesting. Florida now knows
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: what is coming, so there aren't any excuses. If South
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Carolina is able to exploit the same weaknesses that Missouri did,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: then those are not one-week problems anymore.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: They are real issues. I'm going to take a.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Quick break from this video to tell you guys about
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: something really exciting. We are now available on Spotify and
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: Apple Podcast. You have asked for an audio option we
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: are trying to deliver. If there's an audio platform we're
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: not on that you think we should be on, let
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: me know down in the comments and I'll see what
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: I can do to get on there.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: But this should make it easier for you guys to, you.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: Know, listen at work or stack podcasts back to back
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: to back and listen on your way to Gainesville on
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Saturdays if that's what you choose to do or make
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: it a little bit easier to listen on the go
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: if you're running or you're at the gym or one
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: of those things I don't do. But anyway, let us
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: know if there's another audio platform we should be on.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: Thanks for reaching out and telling us what we could
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: do differently. We appreciate your support across all of our platforms.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: I do think this is a game where Florida needs
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: a good start, not because they have to score 21
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: points in the first quarter, but because they need to
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: settle themselves, get the run game going, get the defense
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: off the field, make.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: A few clean plays, build some confidence.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: If Florida comes out slow and South Carolina grabs an
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: early lead, the whole stadium gets tense. Now every mistake
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: feels bigger. Every third down feels bigger. The offense starts pressing.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: This is what Florida needs to avoid. Start clean, start physical,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: make South Carolina feel like they are playing and In Gainesville, Florida,
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: the hardest place in the country to play. And don't
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: let this become an emotional game. I think that's another thing.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: Florida has to be disciplined. South Carolina is going to talk.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: They are going to hit. They are going to try
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: to make the game uncomfortable. Florida can't get sucked into that, though.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: No personal fouls, no dumb penalties, no retaliation, no letting
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: one bad call turn into two bad plays. That's where
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: maturity matters. After Missouri, Florida does not need more emotion.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: They need more control. And the offensive line has to
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: set the tone. I think that's where the game starts.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Florida needs to come out and establish the run. Make
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: South Carolina defend Jaden Baugh. Make the offense, you know,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: reestablish itself. Let Aaron Filo play on schedule. If Florida
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: can do that, the game becomes much easier. If the
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: offensive line struggles, now South Carolina can heat Filo up.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Florida is in third and long. Now you start getting
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: the same problems you had at Missouri. That's why I
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: keep coming back to the line of scrimmage. Florida can't
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: let South Carolina dictate the game there. And I think
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: the defense has to prove that it learned something. Think
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: about the other side of this. I want to see
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: how Florida adjusts, how quickly. If South Carolina finds something
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: that works, does Florida then go ahead and fix that
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: right then? Is there halftime adjustments? I think that was
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: one of the more frustrating parts of the Missouri game.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: Missouri found answers, but Florida didn't find any after that.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: We didn't adjust to their adjustments. That can't happen again.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: Good defenses get hit. Great defenses respond. This week, I
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: need to see Florida respond. And This should be obvious,
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: but I'm going to state it anyway. Texas can wait.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: Florida has enough problems to solve right now. South Carolina
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: is the only game that matters this week. And I
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: think that has to be the mentality inside the building.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: If Florida starts thinking about Texas before South Carolina is finished,
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: they are asking for trouble. The SEC punishes teams for
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: that fast. And I do think that this game is
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: going to tell us if Missouri was a blip. That's
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: why I think it's more important than it looks. If
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Florida wins comfortably and they play clean football and they
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: look like a team that we saw earlier in the season,
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: then Missouri starts to feel like it was just a
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: bad day. If Florida struggles early, then we have a
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: different conversation. If the offensive line gets pushed around again,
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: if the defense misses tackles again, if the penalties continue,
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: if Florida looks flat, then Missouri wasn't just a bad game.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: It was a warning sign.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: And that's what makes this game interesting.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: South Carolina is not the biggest name on Florida's schedule. It,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Maybe one of the most revealing games of the season though.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Florida is coming off its first real punch in the mouth.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Now they have to prove they can respond.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: Not excuses, not looking ahead, not assuming that like the
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: home crowd at the swamp is going to save them.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: Just play better football, be physical, be disciplined, run the ball, tackle, adjust,
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: and handle business. Because South Carolina is dangerous for multitude
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: of reasons. But above anything else, it's because Florida has
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: a lot to lose If it's not ready for Saturday,
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: what do you guys think? Is Florida going to be
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: ready for Saturday? What's the one thing that you think
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: they can fix quickly to help turn this thing around? Again,
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: we're sitting at four and one, so I don't want
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: it to be like the sky is falling, but we
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: need to play better football on Saturdays. Let me know
