Recipe for cooking Gator

1. OL push in the running game and solid protection in the passing. Especially from the right side (ahem!).

2. Relentless DL and LB pressure. Without top RB and WR, a lot will be asked of their QB.

3. No UM CB mishaps. These guys are green, completions are fine, 60 yard oopsies are not.

I think you can pretty much guarantee we'll take one hit over the top in this game. Have to expect a blown assignment will happen. Key is to not turn it over ourselves and don't let FLA grind it out ball control style.
FWIW, the Gator talking heads say Franks does have some good wheels despite being a big guy, so don't let him break containment & pick up any cheap first downs with his legs.

I'm interested to see what our WR's do. I realize they can make the flashy catches coming in, but more importantly I want some solid route running & clutch first down catches......with some YAC plays without putting the ball on the turf downfield.

Containing QBs seems like something UM has gotten done the last few years. Barrett was the most dangerous QB we played last year and he definitely didn't do much with his legs. Having said that Franks running maybe their best offensive weapon.

Correct that while we contained Barrett in the first half things went our way, however our ultimate undoing was the 4th quarter when Barrett did break contain thus leading to the Buckeyes rally. Hate it when you hold a guy in check for pretty much 3 quarters, then he breaks lose in the final quarter to snatch victory away from you.
