State opens -8.5 vs Florida

[RiverCityDawg]

Actually it opened at 7 and went to 8.5 and is now coming back down to 7.5 and 8 per Vegas Insider. So someone bet it up to 8.5 at first and its coming down now.

Strange, I saw it as an open at -9 On Vegas insider, but now it says the open was -7. I'm not sure if some rouge book posted a 9 and took it down or if VI just had it wrong, but it was there. Either way, a touchdown seems about right to me.

I wouldn't touch that line. Don and Grantham both know Futz couldn't throw it in the ocean if he was in a rowboat. Running is going to be tough against that 8 man box.

Also, this team has demonstrated they cannot contain their emotions.... and there will be some emotions Saturday.

You wouldn't touch the line?

Seems Like Florida and points seems too smart.

UF -ML seems to smart too based on what we saw Saturday.

Yup, wouldn't touch it. I don't trust this team right now... on the other side of that coin I dont trust Don to go on the road and cover 9 points. Catch 22.

It will be interesting. Franks does not fit Mullen’s system and Fitz doesn’t really fit JoMo’s system. This is more then likely going to be another low scoring defensive game. I know one thing. Jones better light up into Tucker Day because imo our punting killed us more then anything. How many drives did Kentucky start in plus territory on Saturday because of shitty punting? 7 Kentucky drives started on either their 40 or close to midfield and most of that because of 7 punts to the tune of a 37.8 yard average. That’s absolute shit. Hopefully it was due to a wet ball and bad conditions but Kentucky’s punter punted it 5 times for a 44 yard average. If we get into more defensive battles (which we will), we need our special teams to pick it up too. I’d say the special teams in a lot of ways were just as bad as the offense Saturday and that’s very disappointing.

I don't understand this line one 17ing bit. For whatever reason, Vegas is still thinking we are only a notch or two below LSU and / or AU.

Hope they are right.

How do you know that those passes were called from the sidelines, and not actually due to a quarterback read of the defense?

I think you are on to something. I don?t have the time to go back and re watch, but I?d be willing to bet we have more yards per play last week on plays we didn?t check to sideline or Fitz didn?t change the play. For some reason he wasn?t reading the defense worth a F*ck at all. They were baiting him into the checks and stuffing us because he is mort likely checking to the same plays under similar defensive looks. Similar to a pitcher changing the way he holds his glove for fastball and ofsoeed pitches. Pick up on that and you tee off on them.

Depends on if it rains. We can't play anything resembling football in the rain.

Don't believe this ****. We'll show up. Rain or shine.

If our offensive line will get their heads out of their asses, then I think we can & will cover.

If our offensive line plays like it did vs Kentucky, then we ain't covering & will probably lose.

I don't think people realize how much our offensive line's play sabotaged that game Saturday.

Scott Goodman can punt the shit out of it. He didnt forget how to punt

You saw one play on that Wyatt breakdown where we ran inside zone into a stacked box when we couldve ran outside zone to that side and had a better chance or speed option on the other side.

They had an extra guy on that side and we still ran into the teeth of it. Matter of fact I remember one 3rd down (maybe 3rd and 4) where we ran the same formation but ran outside zone to the left and Kylin got it. Its not hard. That was a shitty play call or a shitty check by Fitz. Its not hard they both know how to count.

Our offense played extremely poorly in the rain and we coached very conservatively. It rained for 4 hours straight. It was a big problem for us.

That read was on Fitz. If he keeps it on several of those gives to Williams, he makes several nice runs.

I won't touch this one. I'm not convinced all the problems from last week can be corrected (there were so many). We got schooled as bad as I've ever seen us get schooled. Not sure there's enough time in a week to get it fixed. I think our staff really thought KY was about like Kstate.
