Gators Insider Does NOT HOLD BACK Before UF Football vs Missouri Tigers! · SEC Football Addiction

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: All right, welcome back to SEC Football Addiction. Allie Peek,
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: a peek inside Gators football. UF on the road at
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Missouri this week. We are presented by PrizePix.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: We're all new users who play a $ 5.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Lineup and win, get 150 in lineups instantly if they
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: use code HMA. Allie, have you come down off of
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: the high from, I think I asked you the same
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: thing last week, but I think it's a different kind
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: of high this week after beating the crap out of
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: number four Ole Miss.
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I think I told you this last week,
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: but I feel like Auburn was the litmus test for
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: how we did with our coaching hire. Some of these
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: other names in the SEC are guys that may have
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: been contenders for this Florida job. We landed John Summerall
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: and I felt like they passed that litmus test. This
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: Ole Miss litmus test was how far are we from
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: where we want to be and national relevance. And Florida
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: answered in a bigger way than honestly I was even expecting.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: So now this next litmus test is, are you mature
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: enough to handle the success? Because you're not catching anybody
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: off guard anymore.
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: I think that's the biggest thing is can Florida, which I,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: I really have a lot of confidence in like coaching staffs,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: but you do kind of wonder from a player perspective,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: these are players that now are dealing with an exorbitant
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: amount of success for a lot of them, the first
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: time in their careers, right?
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: Like a lot of these guys were at Florida. It's
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: not been great.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Certainly not early in seasons, even though, you know, a
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: couple of years ago, a lot of guys on this
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: team had a good finish to the year. Can you
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: handle that success? And can you now like Florida is
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: not sneaking up on anybody, even like the teams that
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: may be ranked ahead of them, like Georgia and Texas.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: It's not like, Oh, well that's Florida. You know, we
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: can take our foot off the gas.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: We can, I mean, that's what got Texas, you know,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: beat last year is they, they didn't go into that
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: game the right way and Florida played really well. So
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: you're not sneaking up on anybody and you are now
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: the hunted. I mean, they're a top eight team and
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: I think they're probably better than that. Um, if I
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: was voting, but they only let, people even dumber than
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: I am vote on the AP poll. So apparently, so yeah,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: I mean, they've been really impressive. They can't undo what
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: they did. Not that they would undo it, but if
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: you lose this game against Missouri, part of that Ole
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Miss win feels like, all right, well, you didn't, you
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: may not have undone it, but you certainly didn't stack
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: on it. Like you should Florida should absolutely be six
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: and oh, when they go to Texas.
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 2:18
  Speaker 5: I think it's, can you continue the momentum?
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: And, I do think that Coach Summerall has a big
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: job this week. He had talked all summer about how
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: the greatest teams are player-led. And I do think Florida
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: has some great leaders in the locker room, but I
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: know that the team's biggest leaders are young. And I
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: think that plays a role in this because are they
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: mature enough to not read their own press clippings? Are
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: they mature enough to look for their own deficiencies? And
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: that's going to get answered. And I'm a person who
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: picked Florida to beat Auburn, picked Florida to beat Ole Miss,
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: and then picked Florida to lose to Missouri this summer
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: when we sat down and we went through the schedule
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: and figured out how it would shake out. And I
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: didn't expect Florida to beat Auburn and Ole Miss in
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: the way that they did. So maybe that changes how
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: I look at this.
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: Game a little bit.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: But Florida has a losing record all time against Missouri.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: They have lost three of the last four times they've
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: gone to Columbia. It is not an easy place for
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: the Gators to play, and that's when it's not set
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: up as a trap game, which I do think this
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: potentially is for the Gators. So I do think it's
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: a maturity test for this roster, and how far are
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: we into having a team led by our players? I
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: think we're going to answer some of those questions on Saturday.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think another thing that will help is I
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: feel like every time you guys play up there, I
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: remember the one night game where Richardson was playing But
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: it feels like every time you play up there, it's
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: like 11 a.m.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Local kick.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: And it's usually November, so it's usually super windy and freezing.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Windy, cold, gross, 11 a.m. Nobody wants to play.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: You've always got a big game against Florida State or
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: something next. This is a little bit better set up there.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: obviously I've spent a lot of time and you've spent
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: a lot of time talking about Florida. And so we
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: know Jaden ball. We know that Philo has been impressive.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: We know the offensive line has been better than expected.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: What about Missouri worries you from their perspective? Like if
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: I do think that if Florida takes care of business
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: and plays to their potential, they'll probably be finding this game.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: But what are the things that Missouri can do that
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: kind of give you some pause and saying, all right,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: outside of all the, trap game, read your own press clippings.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Like what do they actually do on the field that
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: kind of gives you a little bit of hesitation?
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: I think that Missouri is probably the best run defense
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: that Florida has faced so far. And so is, do
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: you get into a scenario? I don't think that they,
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: that anybody's really going to be able to completely eliminate
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: Jaden Boff from the equation, but let's say you hold
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: them to 90 yards or 110 yards or something like that.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: You're going to have to come up with points elsewhere.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: So I, What does Aaron Filo do then? Does Florida
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: have the ability to beat them through the air? If
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: they're made one-dimensional, are they still good enough? And I
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: think the answer to that is yes, but the beauty
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: of Aaron Filo's quarterbacking experience so far at the University
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: of Florida is that he's been incredibly efficient and he
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: hasn't been asked to do a ton. So does that
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: change on Saturday? They have a talented front seven, and
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: Florida's offensive line is going to be tested yet again.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: They've answered every test so far. I mean, would you
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: say that's the position group you're most impressed with this season?
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: By far? Because you've got to know what, again.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Ball's one of the best players in America, but you
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: thought that going into the year.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: The wide receivers are really good.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Philo would probably be second, I would imagine, but the
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: offensive line being as good as... Do you think Summerall
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: was maybe sandbagging this offseason?
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: I don't, because he really seemed stressed.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: Phil Troutwine played with my husband at Florida, and so
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: we had the opportunity to see him a few different
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: times since.
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: He has.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: Gotten to UF and, you know, each time you'd give
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: him a compliment and he'd be like, oh, we're.
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: Not there yet.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: Like definitely seemed like there was genuine concern with this.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: I think they're incredibly well coached. I think strength and
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: conditioning plays a huge part of this. I think Rusty
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: Witt's probably the unsung hero. of why this team is
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: the way that they are so far. They have taken
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: on his identity and Summerall's as just like, grab your
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: lunch pail, put your hard hat on, let's.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: Go to work.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: We are, you know, tough, blue collar, gritty team. But
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: I have maintained all through the summer that this team's
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: ceiling is directly tied to this offensive line's performance. You
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: can have all the skill talent in the world, which
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: Florida does. But if your offensive line isn't going to
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: at least be serviceable, all of that doesn't really matter.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: And I think they've been so much better than serviceable.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: And that's the surprise here. I thought there was a
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: great chance Trout Line could get them to a point
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: where they were almost in neutral, if that makes sense.
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: And that allowed.
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: Florida to use their skill positions.
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: But they're a weapon.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: And that's why this offense is as insanely efficient as
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: it is.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: You, I'm going to take a quick break. You talked
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: about the ceiling a couple of weeks ago. You told
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: me that Florida ceiling was 11 and one on our
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: show state of the state.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: And you got a lot of flack for that.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: And it looks to me like Florida ceiling is 11
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: and one. I guess the ceiling technically would be 12
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: and oh, like they won't get blown out of any
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: game they play, but let's just say for argument's sake
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: that you were right. And that pains me to say
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: on this, but you were right. And the ceiling to
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: me would be okay. When all the games you're supposed to,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: and then split with Texas and Georgia and Um, that
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: does bring us to an 11 and one ceiling, which
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: you said on our new show, state of the state,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: what was your first thought when I, I, we haven't
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: even done like a lot of these, we talk all
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: the time, so not to take some of the movie
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: magic out of it, but I usually know what Allie's
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: going to say on a lot.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: Of these questions. Um, We do like 18 shows together
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: a week.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: So, uh, but what was your first thought when I
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: brought up doing state of the state, uh, in a
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: show with you, I and D money, uh, from Kane's insight.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: And then what has been your favorite thing about doing
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: that so far quickly? And then we'll get back to
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: actually talking to Missouri.
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: Well, first of all, I think when all three state
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: programs in the state of Florida are good, college football
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: is at its best.
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: I think it is so fun.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: But the ironic thing and the interesting thing about all
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: three fan bases is they can argue with each other
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: and fight with each other, whether they're good, bad, indifferent,
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: it doesn't matter. Like there is always kind of that
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: animosity that is there, but all three programs are in
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: such unique spots. And I think that makes the timing
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: of this show absolutely incredible. You know, Miami is convinced
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: that they're on a potential national title run. They lost
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: in the championship game last year. So they've got all
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: the talent in the world. They've got this momentum. They
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: feel like this could be their year. And then you've
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: got Florida who doesn't necessarily know what their ceiling is,
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: but knows they have hope. Knows that it's going to
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: be better than it previously was because you've got a
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: new man in charge and it's sunshine and roses at
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: the moment. And then you've got Florida State who doesn't
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: have hope but can see it on the horizon, if
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: that makes sense.
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: They think there's a coaching search in their future.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: They feel like they could be on the precipice of
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: getting that hope. And so all of those programs being
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: in such different spots makes it a perfect time, I think,
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: for it to launch.
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: But it is so much fun.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: I think college football in the state of Florida is
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: my favorite thing in the world. I will hate watch
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: Miami and Florida State every single time they're on. I
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: love following the recruiting stuff. Like it is just such
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: a natural fit for all three of us that it makes,
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: it makes it enjoyable to.
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: Do it every day.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I don't usually have a bad time talking
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: college football, but it is the most fun show because
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: there's enough like subtle jabs, but then there's enough of
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: an understanding of like, this is where we're at. The
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: comments are insane. So if you guys haven't subscribed to
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: state of the state, go do that. I will link
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: a video from our most recent show on, the end
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: of this, make sure you are subscribed Allie D money
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: and myself go live every Tuesday morning. And then we
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: typically do a recap show on Sundays as well. So
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: go check that out if you haven't already. And hopefully
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: we do get that coaching search back to Missouri and
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: Florida for just a moment. Oh, thoughts on the Florida defense.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: They've gotten some criticism, both nationally and Some from their
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: own coaches, some from the fan base. People have questioned,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: not so much the hire, but just like question if
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Brad Weitz is as effective as they thought he would
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: be coming in so far.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: Does that worry you?
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Now, Florida's offense, although it may be their best defense,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: because I don't know that anybody can really outscore them
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: in the conference.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: But does that worry you going into this?
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: Like if Austin Simmons kind of has a day, is
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: it the secondary?
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: Is it tackling? Like what is it about this defense
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: that kind of gives you some concern?
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: You know, this defense isn't perfect.
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: I do think this defense has gotten a little bit
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: better week to week, which last week when we talked,
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: we talked about how it was possible that Florida's defense
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: was going to improve, but we weren't necessarily going to
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: be able to tell because they were playing the best
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: offense by far that they had faced so far in
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: the season. but I feel like you did see the
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: defense improve. Like they gave up 28 this week to
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: a guy that is a potential Heisman hopeful in Trinidad Chambliss.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: I think there's a lot of people that would argue
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: he's the single best individual football player in college football.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: So giving up 28 to that high powered offense, but
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: you scored 52 doesn't feel that absurd. Particularly they gave
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: up 39 the week before, which I do contend there's
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: some garbage touchdowns there, but If your defense is going
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: to continue to improve each week and your offense is
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: going to be able to score points at the clip
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: that they are, I think you can play with pretty
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: much anybody. And, you know, we were talking before we
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: talked about state of the state about the ceiling and
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: Vegas and ESPN and everybody that does, you know, the
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: odds for games has Florida favored in all but Texas
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: and Georgia at the moment. So if Florida wins all
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: the games they're supposed to, they go 10-2. And I
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: do think that there is a possibility. I don't think
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: that Texas or Georgia is just so much of a
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: world beater that Florida can't be on the same field
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: as them. So I'm not saying Florida's necessarily beating them,
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: but I think that you will have two ballgames there.
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: So let's say they split. That would be Absolutely insane.
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: And, you know, when I said Florida had an 11-1
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: ceiling this year, I also said I thought they won
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: eight or nine games, that that was the realistic outcome,
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: but that they had the athletes and the ability, if
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: all things broke the right way, to finish at 11-1.
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: I feel like if Florida wins this weekend, I probably
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: have to adjust my.
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: Prediction for the year. Eight or nine wins is probably
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: too low.
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: If Florida is five and oh, at that point, you know,
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: which is if you're a Gator fan, like kind of
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: something hard to even wrap your head around that we're,
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: we're here.
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: At this point.
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: I think the way that things are potentially going to
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: break out for them again, last year's schedule was incredibly
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: tough and I don't want to take anything away from
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: playing on the road at Auburn or against Ole Miss,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: but those games are done.
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: And so you look at the rest of the schedule and,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: and they're a favorite against Missouri. They're going to be
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: a favorite in South Carolina, Oklahoma, who we thought might
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: be a playoff team looks way, way weaker than they
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: did before. Now, maybe Kentucky's slightly better than we thought
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: in the off season, but I don't, I don't know
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: that Kentucky's as, as much better as Oklahoma is worse.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: So like, I still think you'd, you'd take that trade off.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: Um, Vandy and Florida state should not pose much of
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: a threat, especially with one of those games being at home,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: the other being in Tallahassee with, you know, again, who
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: knows who the coach will be at that point. You're
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: looking at the way this rest of the schedule shakes
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: out and you, you can't, I mean, I mentioned like
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: the potential traps, like you're, you're a little bit worried
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: about Missouri, Georgia and Texas are still there. Kentucky is
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: going to be tougher than you think. Maybe Oklahoma figures
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: it out.
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: There is still a world where Florida goes nine and
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: three or eight and four, and it's still a good
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: season overall for summer all. But yeah, you, if, if
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: all you do is take care of business the rest
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: of the way, they're a playoff team.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: I know that's crazy to think about.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: We didn't think we'd be saying that before we got
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: to October, but all the, all they have to do, right?
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: Like several teams.
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: Win all the games on their schedule.
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: But well, not even that, but just win the games.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: You're supposed to win the university of Florida.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: Like you win the games.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: You're supposed to, if you lose to number one, Georgia
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: or number one, Texas or number two, Georgia.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: So be it. Either of those games is in the swamp.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: So that's fine.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: You have to go out of state for that Georgia
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: game for the first time in a while. Texas is
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: a DKR. I think those are acceptable losses. Not that
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: anybody's happy with them, but I don't know that there's
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: another acceptable loss on the schedule.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: Like I think Florida needs to be 10 and two.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, what's crazy is that, so, you know,
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: ESPN does the percentages and your percentage chance of winning.
• 15:04
  Speaker 5: So not just, you know, a money line or anything.
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: And Florida has a 70% chance or higher in every
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: single game outside of that Georgia and Florida.
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: And I want to say the Georgia Florida sitting at
• 15:14
  Speaker 5: like 21 and 22% or something.
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: So like, that's in the like chip in a chair
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: you know you're saying there's a chance kind of thing
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: but I'm almost wondering if those numbers will continue to
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: adjust a little bit I don't think Florida will be
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: favored against Georgia or Texas going into those games at
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: any point but I do think that that gap might
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: actually close a little bit too which is just it's
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: interesting to see what a good coaching staff does because
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: you know Florida did bring in some transfer players but
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: a good chunk of their core guys they found at
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: Florida when they got here.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Summerall's most impressive job this year has been retaining talent.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Because how much different is this roster if Dallas Wilson
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: and Jaden Woods and Baugh are not on it? Is
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: it as attractive for some of the transfers that came
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: in to stick around? Do they find some of the
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: pieces they had? Yeah, I mean, I think Texas... Texas
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: has some things to figure out offensively. They didn't look
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: great against Tennessee's defense, which I think is good with
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: Jim Knowles there. But yeah, I think that, that part
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: of it makes it really interesting. Talked about the Simmons factor.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: We talked about offense and defense. I know this gets
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: underrated and you don't get asked about it enough though.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: You'd be, you'd probably like to hear this question more,
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: but special teams has been really good for Florida too.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: Like they've been really good at all three phases. Again, defense,
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: the questions are there. Um, but holding Austin Simmons to
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: 28 points is, is a pretty big deal. Um, special teams,
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: they're really good too. And they have game changers, not
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: to trigger people with that word, but they have guys
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: who can change the game at any point. Maybe there's
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: a better way to say it. Um, and a kicker
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: that can make kicks. I mean, I saw the punter
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: getting hyped on the one that went out of bounds
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: inside the five and then VB three back there. If
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: he's a hundred percent, I don't know if that, if, uh,
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: I don't think anything's come out on injuries yet, but, uh, they're,
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: they're pretty elite.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: On that unit as well.
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: You know, the special teams has been one of the
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: best surprises. Jonathan Galanti is the special teams coach at Florida.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: And Hey, the fact that they have a dedicated special
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: teams coach, that's.
• 17:16
  Speaker 5: What he coaches. That's all he coaches. And he is
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: damn good at it.
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: I honestly credit special teams with that win against Trinidad
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: Chambliss and Ole Miss on Saturday, you know, outside of
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: the strip sack by Jaden Woods, which was.
• 17:29
  Speaker 5: Recovered by Miles Graham.
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: I don't know that there's a single bigger play that,
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: than that 74-yard kickoff return. When you are Ole Miss
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: and you go 13 plays over the course of five
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: minutes and you narrow that score to three points and
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: you feel like, okay, I've got some momentum, for that
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: to be wiped out in 90 seconds, that return took
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: eight seconds, and then they have three plays and they
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: score and the spread widens again to 10 points, that's
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: incredibly demoralizing. London Montgomery had two huge kickoff returns which
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: I do have a little interesting tidbit on that. If
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: you watched that game, you saw that neither Florida nor
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: Ole Miss' kickoffs were going out of the back of
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: the end zone consistently, which is a change for both teams.
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: A locked on Ole Miss guy we had on talked
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: about how every single kickoff this entire season had gone
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: out of the back of the end zone coming into
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: this game. Florida had had, I think, all but one
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: or two go out of the back of the end zone.
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: I was told that officials switched out the K-Balls which
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: a K ball is the ball that a kicker is
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: choosing to use and replaced them with brand new footballs.
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: And so both teams were kicking with it. So it's
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: not like one had an advantage or over the other
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: or anything, I guess. Maybe you think if Florida has
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: better special teams that they have an advantage there, but
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: so it's a brand new football being kicked instead of
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: a K ball, which is going to be most kickers
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: prefer a swollen ball that has been broken in and used.
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: It's going to soar a lot further. So I find
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: that in, entirely interesting to her, how these kickoffs played
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: out in this game, because neither team was great at kickoffs.
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: There was a lot of returns, but those two returns
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: from London Montgomery massive. And then you mentioned that Alec
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: Clark punt, this poor guy has punted five times through
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: like on.
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: Sung hero.
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: I guess he's getting his due because he's the holder
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: as well. But think about this. You come off the bench,
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: you get one punt and it's a 70 yard bomb.
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: To the two coffin corner. Like we got to give
• 19:29
  Speaker 5: him his flowers.
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: Poor guy doesn't even have enough punts to show up
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: on the top punting lists across the country because he
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: only has five and you have to have 10.
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: So will he even get that?
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: Like it might take three more games before he finds
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: himself on any sort of list, but he has been
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: incredibly good. Florida's had two punts returned for touchdowns, you know,
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: this season so far, something that hadn't happened since 1996.
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: They just special teams is clicking on all cylinders. And
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: at some point that will be the difference in the game.
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: And I would argue that that was the momentum swing
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: that Florida needed to just blow the roof off of
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: all this on Saturday.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it did.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: It felt like you, I was kind of waiting for
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: that moment where Ole Miss would, okay, now they're.
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: Going to turn it on. And they did in the
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: third quarter. They, they started twice.
• 20:14
  Speaker 5: They narrowed it to three.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: They, they started chipping away and then Florida kept answering back.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: But then those special teams plays, whether it was the
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: long kick return, obviously had a long kick return to,
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: to start the whole thing, but the long kick return
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: the punt out. And you're just like, okay, now they're
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: going to go 98 yards and everything looked hard. As
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: much crap as you give the defense, everything looked hard
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: for Ole Miss. Like nothing just made him earn it.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Nothing came easily.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: Whereas you, you know, they were sticking around really until
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: that fourth quarter, but everything that Florida did looked easy
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: and everything Ole Miss did. And they did it well
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: for two and a half quarters, but everything that Ole
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: Miss did was very, very difficult to get accomplished. And
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: so that's kind of another, takeaway for me on Florida's
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: defense that, yeah, they made them earn the heck out
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: of it.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: And that's a really good offense.
• 20:59
  Speaker 5: That defense isn't bad.
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: I think part of why we harp on the defense
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: is that we expected that to be the solid unit
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: and the offense was going to be more of like
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: the crapshoot. It's like, okay, the wins that these teams
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: get will be dictated by the offensive line gelling or
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: how Philo commands the offense or things like that. So
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: I don't think any of us were expecting the offense
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: to actually be the better of the two units. So
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: I think that then puts the defense under a microscope.
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: When you're scoring 52 points a game, there's not a
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: whole lot to criticize. There's not a whole lot to
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: dissect there. So then you look at, okay, well, the
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: defense is giving up points. They're not throwing shutouts.
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: They're not whatever.
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: So let's kind of get in there.
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: But I don't think they've been bad.
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: I think they need to continue to improve tackling. I
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: do think they've done that game over game, but it
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: still has work to do. I think they need to
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: clean up penalties, and I think they need to Um,
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: you know, the, the secondary has kind of been a
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: little soft and I think that needs to improve, but
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: you want to know a really fascinating stat to me
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: is that Florida has only trailed Campbell.
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: Because they had an opening possession where they scored a
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: field goal.
• 22:05
  Speaker 5: That is the only time.
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: And then Florida scored like 90 seconds later. That is
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: the only time this entire season that Florida has ever trailed.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: Wouldn't it be wild to go through the entire schedule
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: and Campbell be the one team that would be nuts.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: I don't even remember what I just said on our
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: show that we just did. I think Florida wins this
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: by about 10. I don't think Ole Miss can score
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: an Ole Miss.
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: Sorry.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: Missouri can do quite enough offensively in this game. I
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: do think Florida's defense is a little bit slept on
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: and I have a hard time seeing Florida held under
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: 40 points too often this year.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: So I like Florida by 10-ish. What is your score here?
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: I actually have a lower scoring.
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: And maybe this is me being hopeful that Florida has
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: some lessons they can learn in this game to apply
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: later on. But I have Florida 24-20. I think Missouri
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: is the best run defense that Florida has played so far.
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: It'll be one of the better ones they play through
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: the entire year. Texas's and Georgia's will be better. But
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: I don't know that anybody else's will be better than
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: Missouri's run D.
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: And I think Florida maybe has to win it.
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: In a different way than they've won their previous four games.
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: But they've got to excise that demon that lives in
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: Columbia that's not something that has been kind to Florida.
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: But if they win it, they pass that maturity test, I.
• 23:20
  Speaker 5: Think they go into Texas 6-0, which is a wild thought.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: Top five matchup. Here we come. Will you go if
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: that's the case?
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: It's pig jig here in Tampa, so I will not.
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: But I don't know.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: Just get a couple of tickets and I'll go for you. Um,
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: what do you have coming this week and where can
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: people follow you?
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: You can follow me over on YouTube, a peak inside
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: Gator football or on X alley underscore peak. We've got
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: lots of content coming to you this week. There's just
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: so much to talk about. I had, um, locked on
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: Mizzou on earlier.
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: That'll be released later on today, I believe, or tomorrow.
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: Um, there's just so much to talk about this offensive
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: line is Jaden ball, the best running back in the country. Um,
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: This special teams unit, which we spent some time talking
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: about today, there's just a lot to get into. And
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: it's really given Florida some juice recruiting wise. So we'll
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: get into that as well.
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: Awesome.
