HOTLANTA MAN posted:I know im talking from the foyer of my glass house but they say this about UF every single year  "When will UF get back to greatness?" has been the media narrative for like a decade. I can't really remember anyone picking UF to do anything nationally significant in years. if we just look at media preseason predictions for the SEC... 2019: 2nd in east 2018: 2nd in east 2017: 2nd in east 2016: 2nd in east 2015: 5th in east 2014: 3rd in east 2013: 3rd in east 2012: 3rd in east 2011: 3rd in east 2010: 2nd in east 2009: 1st in east We haven't even been picked to win the east since 2009.

Eh, maybe the SEC media hasn't expected much, but the national media has definitely been salivating at the idea of Florida being back ANY WEEK NOW and I think y'all have benefited in terms of the polls/general perception from that kind of thing at times. Obviously, Mullen has legitimately helped y'all turn the corner, but UF was never allowed to become truly irrelevant despite a lack of success.

But the media wanting UF to be good versus predicting them to be good are two different things. Hotlanta is making it sound like UF has had a lot of hype and expectations that they’ve fallen short of in recent years. I think it’s been more like, “When will Florida get back to the success of the 90’s and 00’s?” That hasn’t been my perception as a Gator fan, but maybe I have orange and blue glasses on.

The media wants any SEC East team to be great. Seems like Georgia's been the hyped-up preseason team for a few years going now. It was hard to hype Florida for a lot of years because they had a glaring offensive weakness. Like their offensive ranks going back to 2009: code:

How the hell is it even possible to be that bad on offense with florida talent. It's not like the east had any good teams during that stretch besides kirby's georgia. Just out of curiosity what were the defensive rankings during that stretch.

But IIRC, those teams would have a lot of ugly-rear end clownball wins that just made everyone the next year go "Yeah...they'll be 3rd in the East." Also weren't there some good S. Carolina and Mizzou teams in that stretch? The East was a dumpster fire and still ain't great but just talking pre-season media hype. Defensive rankings: code:

I think UGA’s defense is legit good enough to keep us hanging with anyone this year. Florida is looking better on offense, Bama is Bama, and Auburn is never predictable in terms of are they good or bad any given year, any given week. I think this is probably Florida’s best shot to win the East if UGA can’t get their QB situation locked in.

Nissin Cup Nudist posted:I get the Trask was HS backup,, but how did he not manage to beat out Franks in camp at least once basically injuries 2017 he was supposed to compete with Franks, but he broke his foot before the year started 2018 he was a year behind developmentally, but people started talking about how well he was playing in practice. Franks remained the starter because he was a highly touted redshirt sophomore. Trask broke his foot a few weeks into the season during a practice. Meanwhile, Franks showed some promise in his first year under Mullen. 2019 Franks was supposed to take the next big step under his second year playing for Mullen, but he got hurt and Trask took over.

Seems especially dumb to insert the Big 10 and Pac 12 before they start playing again.  Kansas State also receiving votes. They've played two games and lost to Arkansas State in one of them.

Stanley Tucheetos posted:Minus 2019 I could be forgiving for thinking that was my teams defensive rankings. No place truly recruits itself, as Jim McElwain, and Clay Helton have proved. Muschamp wanted to play classic Sabanball on offense but didn't recruit the OL needed to execute Sabanball, and Jeff Driskel's brain got broken. Jim McElwain started on the back foot because Muschamp forgot to recruit OL, and then he mismanaged his QB room.

KKKLIP ART posted:What happened to that other Tennesses QB? I saw that jared guarentano started for what appears to be the 47th year G looked pretty good down the stretch and got out of his own head after the Bama game last year, so he was going to start regardless this year. He looked overall decent, made some good decisions and had a couple of bad overthrows or his stat line would have been better. You’re either thinking of Maurer, who as has been said is a sophomore and is the backup. Or Bailey, who is the 5* kid who came in this year and has looked good in very few practices, he’s 3rd string for now.

It really highlights how tough G is, regardless of if he’s actually any good or not. That kid has got his rear end kicked every season and just never seems to get hurt. But every time Maurer went out last year it’s because he was taking hits G would have just shrugged off.

Blue Raider posted:I wonder is Maurer is actually decent or only good when compared to Guarantano? I think it’s in comparison to what a train wreck G was last year. His stats are not great. He played in 8 games last year - 35/75 541 yards, 2 TDs 5INTs It was more “anything but Guarantano” but he kept getting hurt and G would come back in. After the Bama game G seemed to figure it out so he stuck. Maurer ended up with 2 concussions last year. Maurer is a good kid though. He almost attempted suicide in January but didn’t and now he’s doing a lot of work for suicide prevention. He suffers from severe depression and anxiety and I’m sure the concussions didn’t help any.

https://twitter.com/SethWEmerson/status/1310611320782426113 Feeling relatively good about this one even still, if Georgia is gonna win think they need to run over our line in the first half, the secondary is good enough that I'm not super concerned about who the QB is.
