Speaker 3: But this podcast asked.

32
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,319
Speaker 1: The Florida Football Insiders podcast is all nothing but the

33
00:02:04,319 --> 00:02:08,560
state of Florida football. And we've got some teams on

34
00:02:08,599 --> 00:02:11,120
the rise here Florida State, Miami, top ten in the

35
00:02:11,159 --> 00:02:15,639
country heading to a potential early October showdown up in

36
00:02:15,719 --> 00:02:19,759
Tallahassee if everything holds to form, which we think it might.

37
00:02:20,599 --> 00:02:24,319
You got USF coming off the great start beating Boise

38
00:02:24,479 --> 00:02:27,639
in Florida, and then I obviously have the little bit

39
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,199
of drama in Gainesville with the Gators now falling to

40
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,919
one and two after their loss in Baton Rouge over

41
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:33,479
the weekend.

42
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 3: So let's give you a little recap.

43
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:39,159
Speaker 1: We've got Kevin Brockway from the Gainesville Sun. He's gonna

44
00:02:39,159 --> 00:02:41,800
give you the lowdown on the Gators. What went wrong

45
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,960
in Baton Rouge, what can they fix moving forward, future

46
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,120
of Billy Napier and such. So we'll get to Kevin

47
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,759
here just in a few minutes, but first let's start

48
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:54,520
down in Miami where the Hurricanes made with an emphatic

49
00:02:54,599 --> 00:02:58,280
performance forty nine to twelve win over the USF Bulls.

50
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,159
They really showed their muscle here in this game. Carson

51
00:03:02,199 --> 00:03:05,479
Beck threw for three forty and three touchdowns. Mark Fletcher

52
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,319
ran for one hundred and twenty yards and two touchdowns.

53
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:11,560
Rain delay in this game, he had about an hour

54
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,520
long rain delay down in South Florida.

55
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 3: With that four o'clock kickoff.

56
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: The rain, whether whether there was a delay or not,

57
00:03:18,719 --> 00:03:21,960
was not going to affect the result of this game.

58
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:27,680
Mario Cristobal with a late touchdown to stick it to USF.

59
00:03:27,759 --> 00:03:30,159
Late in the game, they scored with about a minute

60
00:03:30,199 --> 00:03:33,680
ago on a situation that had no business running plays

61
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:37,199
and scoring, which bumped the game to the over over

62
00:03:37,319 --> 00:03:41,439
fifty six and a half got the sixty one. So

63
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,280
a little a little unlucky there if you if you

64
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,159
played the over, if you played the under in the game.

65
00:03:46,919 --> 00:03:49,759
Speaker 3: But USF was completely dominated this.

66
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: This entire game Byron Brown was you know, played okay,

67
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,520
two hundred and seventy four yards passing. A lot of

68
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,400
those were garbage garbage time. When the game was over

69
00:03:59,199 --> 00:04:02,039
through for a touchdown on Chaz Nimrod had four catches

70
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,719
for one to twenty eight. USF just had a mighty

71
00:04:05,639 --> 00:04:08,639
a horrendous time running the ball. I think they had

72
00:04:08,639 --> 00:04:10,879
about forty yards rushing for the game, and that's been

73
00:04:10,919 --> 00:04:13,319
a common theme. Even though us have been gotten off

74
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,000
to a good start, their rushing attack has not been

75
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,040
good and they have to figure out a way to

76
00:04:18,079 --> 00:04:21,199
get the for other people to produce offensively other than

77
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,279
just Byron Brown. Nimrod's been a good receiver for them,

78
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,160
but as far as from the running game perspective, they've

79
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:27,680
got to figure out a way to get that running

80
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,720
game going. As they head into American Conference play here

81
00:04:30,759 --> 00:04:34,680
in just a couple of weeks, again, the Canes with

82
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:39,959
a very emphatic performance all around performance offensively, defensively in

83
00:04:39,959 --> 00:04:44,360
the kicking game as well. And again Miami is heading

84
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:48,160
into a bye week from Mario Christobal in company. The

85
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,560
USF Bulls, we home to South Carolina State and then

86
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,439
they will get into the conference play.

87
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:54,439
Speaker 3: The following week.

88
00:04:54,600 --> 00:05:01,199
Speaker 1: So good start again, a great start for USF two

89
00:05:01,199 --> 00:05:03,439
and one on the on the on the year, the

90
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,920
ball is in their court. If USF wants has wants

91
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:08,800
to have an opportunity to be a playoff contender and

92
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,959
be considered, you gotta go win the American Conference. You

93
00:05:11,959 --> 00:05:15,000
could potentially lose one game in the American but it

94
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,680
better not be to one of the weaker teams in

95
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,600
the conference. But the USF will probably be a favorite

96
00:05:20,639 --> 00:05:23,160
in most every game they play the rest of the way.

97
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,480
So the ball is kind of in Alex Golish's court here.

98
00:05:27,199 --> 00:05:29,399
Have a great opportunity here to to kind of be

99
00:05:29,439 --> 00:05:32,680
the power the darlings of the UH non power five

100
00:05:33,879 --> 00:05:36,120
with their big wins. They need Florida to win a

101
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,639
few more games as well to make that Florida win

102
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:40,920
look a little bit better. And they need Boise to

103
00:05:40,959 --> 00:05:43,480
keep winning as well. But again, lots of opportunity for

104
00:05:43,519 --> 00:05:46,480
the USF Bulls as they head into conference play again.

105
00:05:46,519 --> 00:05:48,480
I think they go to Memphis, they go to Navy.

106
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,120
A couple of tough games they're gonna have to navigate.

107
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,199
But but again, there's not a team in that conference

108
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,920
that that that will be that will be at anywhere

109
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:02,720
considerable favorite over USF SO and for Miami, again, don't

110
00:06:02,759 --> 00:06:05,000
slip on the banana peal. You've got a great team here,

111
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,079
great offensive line. Beck's playing really well, the wide receivers

112
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,800
are playing well. Take care of business in the games

113
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:12,959
you're You don't have Georgia Tech, you don't have Clemson

114
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,439
on your schedule. You do have to go to Tallahassee,

115
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:19,360
which which will probably be a prime time National Game

116
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:21,560
Day game here in a couple of weeks. As long

117
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:25,160
as as everybody does what they're supposed to do. Uh

118
00:06:25,399 --> 00:06:28,800
and we'll we will, we will all be reliving back

119
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,120
the back in the nineties when you had two top

120
00:06:31,199 --> 00:06:32,920
ten powers year after years.

121
00:06:32,959 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 3: Has got a chance to be a great game in Tallahassee.

122
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:40,199
Speaker 1: I would favor probably Miami slightly over over Florida State

123
00:06:40,199 --> 00:06:43,920
at this point from what I've seen gues especially with

124
00:06:43,959 --> 00:06:46,879
Beck playing as well as he is. But again, if

125
00:06:46,879 --> 00:06:49,439
you're Mario, you cannot slip on the banana appeal against

126
00:06:49,439 --> 00:06:49,920
the team.

127
00:06:49,759 --> 00:06:50,959
Speaker 3: That you're not supposed to lose to.

128
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,639
Speaker 1: So that's been kind of Mario's mo o over his career.

129
00:06:54,879 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 3: Is he's lost games that he's.

130
00:06:56,079 --> 00:07:00,199
Speaker 1: Not supposed to lose, bone headed in game decision and

131
00:07:00,199 --> 00:07:00,480
all that.

132
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,519
Speaker 3: But Miami off to a great start. All right.

133
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 1: Let's go to the other matchup involving in state teams.

134
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:12,040
Yet FIU played FAU last week. In FIU, the Panthers

135
00:07:12,079 --> 00:07:14,920
get it done thirty eight twenty eight over the owls.

136
00:07:15,319 --> 00:07:17,920
Kean Owens, the running back for FIU, runs for one

137
00:07:17,959 --> 00:07:21,319
hundred and seventy three yards in two touchdowns on nineteen carries.

138
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:25,240
Great job there running the ball for FAU. Caden veld Camp,

139
00:07:25,319 --> 00:07:27,920
the quarterback, through for three forty three and two touchdowns.

140
00:07:28,519 --> 00:07:31,839
Jamari Sans ran for one hundred and five on fourteen carries.

141
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,000
Back and forth game, but FIU was kind of in

142
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,480
control of this game for the most part. After halftime,

143
00:07:39,319 --> 00:07:42,319
FIU moves to two to one. They will host Delaware

144
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,040
and you say, Delaware, oh, that should be a win.

145
00:07:44,079 --> 00:07:47,399
Will be careful. Delaware just got done beating Connecticut. Over

146
00:07:47,439 --> 00:07:49,639
the weekend up here in the East, Up in the Northeast,

147
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:55,519
FAU will be home to Memphis to start their conference play.

148
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:55,839
Speaker 3: There.

149
00:07:56,199 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 1: The Memphis Tigers will be coming down to South Florida

150
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,680
as well, and the FAU falls to one in two.

151
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 3: So good.

152
00:08:02,319 --> 00:08:05,839
Speaker 1: Two good intra state matchups this week involving the Florida

153
00:08:05,839 --> 00:08:09,560
Florida team. So that's a good thing here. I'm glad

154
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,560
they It's a great thing for the state of Florida.

155
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,319
It's a great thing for those programs. And these guys

156
00:08:13,319 --> 00:08:18,199
play each other most every year, whether it's USF, MY USF, Florida,

157
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:22,480
Florida State, Miami FI, U f AU. They play USF

158
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,519
pretty regularly as well, So it's a great mixture that

159
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:25,959
these teams are all playing each other.

160
00:08:26,199 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 3: It's good for the state.

161
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,639
Speaker 1: It's good for the economics of these programs as well

162
00:08:31,279 --> 00:08:33,840
as well. So keep it up, Florida State. Coming off

163
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,840
of a bye, they're gonna be playing Kent State again.

164
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,240
If you're Florida State, just keep taking care of business.

165
00:08:39,639 --> 00:08:41,360
They play Kent State and then they have a quick

166
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:46,120
turnaround and play at Virginia on Friday night. Not first

167
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,559
ACC game. That could be a little bit tricky. Tony

168
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:52,639
Elliott and the Virginia Cavaliers are playing much better up

169
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:56,360
in Charlottesville. But again Friday night at Charlottesville. If you

170
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,440
remember back in the day, Florida State lost their first

171
00:08:59,519 --> 00:09:02,080
ever comp French game on that famous Thursday night in

172
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:06,840
Charlottesville when Virginia scored late to win the game and

173
00:09:06,919 --> 00:09:08,440
the last I think maybe I think it was the

174
00:09:08,519 --> 00:09:12,000
last play of the game up in Charlottesville for their

175
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:19,639
for FSU's first ever conference loss. So so again, Florida

176
00:09:19,639 --> 00:09:24,360
State keep it up, Castellanos, the receiving course playing well.

177
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:25,159
Speaker 3: They running the ball well.

178
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 1: The defense has been good again, setting up the potential

179
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:32,159
showdown with Miami in early October. As for the UCF Knights,

180
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:36,000
three point thirty on Saturday, they will host Bill Belichick

181
00:09:36,039 --> 00:09:38,759
in the North Carolina tar Heels. U CF two and

182
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:42,039
zero coming off of a bye uh. You and North

183
00:09:42,039 --> 00:09:43,960
Carolina is now two and one coming.

184
00:09:43,759 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 3: Off of two uh they beat two weaker teams. I

185
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:50,039
think they beat Richmond last week.

186
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,039
Speaker 1: They remember they lost Week one at home to TCUHO

187
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:53,759
got blown out.

188
00:09:53,759 --> 00:09:57,279
Speaker 3: So this will be a good test for both programs. Uh.

189
00:09:57,519 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: See if where Belichick and and the tar Heels are.

190
00:10:00,399 --> 00:10:04,320
See where u CF's at again. Non conference game here

191
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:09,039
three point thirty on Saturday in the Bounce House in Orlando.

192
00:10:09,639 --> 00:10:13,399
All right, there's your recaps again. Florida loses twenty to

193
00:10:13,399 --> 00:10:16,399
ten to LSU. We're gonna get into all the details

194
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,919
with Kevin Brockway the Gainesville Sun here in just a minute,

195
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:21,840
all the you know, the ins and outs of the

196
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:27,519
Lagaway performance, Billy Napier, the defense, the preview. Remember, Florida

197
00:10:27,639 --> 00:10:30,080
goes to Miami. I'm sorry, I don't know why I

198
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:34,120
said Miami has a bye. Miami host Florida Prime Time.

199
00:10:34,879 --> 00:10:36,279
Speaker 3: That was a miss. Sorry about that.

200
00:10:37,039 --> 00:10:41,039
Speaker 1: Miami will host Florida Prime Time this weekend with Herb

201
00:10:41,159 --> 00:10:44,480
Street and Fowler. I believe will be on the call

202
00:10:45,159 --> 00:10:48,120
in Miami at hard Rock. So no buye for Miami.

203
00:10:48,159 --> 00:10:51,480
They have Florida coming to town and again we will

204
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:55,279
preview that with Kevin Brockway of the Gainesville Sun here

205

215
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,399
Quick recap of the National Football League before we get

216
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,080
to Kevin. The Dolphins fall to oh to two. They

217
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,440
lose thirty three to twenty seven to the New England Patriots.

218
00:11:39,519 --> 00:11:41,519
Kind of a back and forth game. You had a

219
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:43,600
punt return for a touchdown by the Dolphins, you had

220
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:48,039
a kickoff return by the Patriots. You had you know, interceptions, turnovers.

221
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,120
Pretty wild game out of Miami. Had the ball a

222
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:52,919
couple of times late to try to win the game

223
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,840
and could not get it done. Dolphins fall to oh

224
00:11:55,879 --> 00:12:00,159
to two. They traveled a Buffalo Thursday night. Amazon A

225
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:05,360
tough tough turnaround here, having to go to Buffalo another

226
00:12:05,399 --> 00:12:06,159
division game.

227
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:06,919
Speaker 3: OH win three.

228
00:12:07,399 --> 00:12:09,279
Speaker 1: Be interesting to see if they again, if they get

229
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:13,360
beat badly potentially on Thursday night. Could Mike McDaniel be

230
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:17,440
in trouble here with the long weekend you've still seen.

231
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,480
Tyreek Hill got a little bit more on track last week. Again,

232
00:12:20,519 --> 00:12:23,279
they played better than the week one, but still too

233
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:27,159
many mistakes. The defense is not very good. Tyreek Hill

234
00:12:27,159 --> 00:12:30,159
did get involved, had over one hundred yards receiving, but

235
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:30,799
Tua did not.

236
00:12:30,919 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 3: They just don't.

237
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 1: They don't look like they're very much in sync on

238
00:12:33,519 --> 00:12:37,159
what's going on in the defense, just getting gashed too

239
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:41,080
many long drives by the against the defense down there

240
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,320
in Miami. So be interesting to see what happens if

241
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,080
they were to get beat pretty soundly. On Thursday night

242
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,480
in Buffalo, the Jags fall to one in one, lost

243
00:12:49,519 --> 00:12:53,120
a very winnable game up in Cincinnati. Remember, Joe Burrow

244
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,600
gets hurt early in this game midway, I think midway

245
00:12:56,639 --> 00:12:59,519
second quarter, got hurt with the turf toe injer He's

246
00:12:59,519 --> 00:13:04,559
gonna be out three months. The Jags lose basically fall

247
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:08,919
to Jake Browning, the backup quarterback, comes in and throws touchdowns,

248
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:10,240
multiple touchdowns.

249
00:13:10,279 --> 00:13:12,559
Speaker 3: He did throw three interceptions.

250
00:13:13,279 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 1: The Jags were up three laid in the game, fourth

251
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,240
and five from like the eight yard line, and they

252
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,240
decided to go for it, not kick the field goal

253
00:13:20,279 --> 00:13:23,240
to go up six. They don't convert drop ball on

254
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,879
fourth down. Browning then takes some ninety three yards in

255
00:13:26,919 --> 00:13:29,279
the last three minutes to win the game. So a

256
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:34,559
game that I think you saw some demonstrative behavior between

257
00:13:34,639 --> 00:13:37,320
Liam Cohen and Trevor Lawrence. Well, so we'll see how

258
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,519
that unfolds. I think they'll be fine. Just I think

259
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,799
that was just a moment where Cohen was a little frustrated,

260
00:13:44,159 --> 00:13:46,840
said something to Lawrence on the field, and Lawrence gave

261
00:13:46,919 --> 00:13:50,120
him to kind of get out of here, wave off,

262
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:54,159
wave away, kind of deal. But you know, Trevor at

263
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,679
ten playing really well for them. They got the backup

264
00:13:57,759 --> 00:14:00,519
running back Tooton. His playing is contributing pretty well. Lawrence

265
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:04,240
is playing okay, but he's still throwing some untimely interceptions

266
00:14:04,279 --> 00:14:06,240
and just some couple of bonehead balls that you just

267
00:14:06,519 --> 00:14:08,799
wouldn't think he'd be thrown at this point of his career.

268
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:12,480
But the Jags do fall to one in one Houston Texans.

269
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:17,240
The two Texans will come to Jacksonville this Sunday, again,

270
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,519
pivotal game in the AFC South for Jacksonville especially. You

271
00:14:20,519 --> 00:14:22,559
can really put a dagger into Houston if you can

272
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:26,399
win this game. The Houston Texans, coming off the heartbreaking

273
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,000
loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Monday night, lose twenty

274
00:14:29,039 --> 00:14:34,679
to nineteen to the Bucks. Baker Mayfield engineers another last

275
00:14:34,679 --> 00:14:37,519
two minute drive of the game, just a dramatic drive

276
00:14:37,639 --> 00:14:40,000
converts on fourth and ten with a run and then

277
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,440
Rashad White runs it in with six seconds to go

278
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,000
from two yards out to seal the win for the

279
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,960
Bucks win twenty to nineteen, dramatic win.

280
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:49,799
Speaker 3: Again, defensive game.

281
00:14:50,919 --> 00:14:53,639
Speaker 1: You know, the Texans had all kinds of problems running

282
00:14:53,639 --> 00:14:57,639
the ball. Bucks had a couple of injury issues. Elijah

283
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,240
Canty now out for the year. Luke Gettick Gon be

284
00:15:00,279 --> 00:15:03,519
out multiple weeks here with a foot injury that he reaggravated.

285
00:15:03,799 --> 00:15:06,080
So again the Bucks offensive line is gonna be tested.

286
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:09,559
Still no Tristan Wurfs for probably another couple of weeks. Uh,

287
00:15:09,679 --> 00:15:12,960
No Chris Godwin still a Mecca. Buka did score again

288
00:15:13,039 --> 00:15:16,200
on a on a wide receiver screen and again you

289
00:15:16,279 --> 00:15:20,039
had you had a couple of touch again two touchdowns. Uh,

290
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:24,559
they're a little bit concerning. Chase McLoughlin missed another relatively

291
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,399
short field goal, so that wasn't great. But again the

292
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:31,039
Bucks gritted out two road wins to start the year too,

293
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,639
against two pretty good teams Houston and Atlanta. Now the

294
00:15:34,639 --> 00:15:37,679
Bucks come home to face the New York Jets, probably

295
00:15:37,759 --> 00:15:40,240
gonna be without justin Field, so a very winnable game

296
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,720
for the Buccaneers. Then the Eagles come to town in

297
00:15:42,759 --> 00:15:46,120
week four, So a terrific opportunity here for the Bucks

298
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,360
to get off to a great start in the NFC

299
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,559
South New Orleans oh and two, Carolina oh and two,

300
00:15:51,639 --> 00:15:54,000
Atlanta one and one. But again, this is gonna be

301
00:15:54,039 --> 00:15:57,320
a buccaneer falcon division here, uh and again Bucks with

302
00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,919
two road wins in the bank already and obviously a

303
00:16:00,279 --> 00:16:03,879
division win in Atlanta as well. So a chance to

304
00:16:03,879 --> 00:16:05,879
get off to a tremendous start this year if you

305
00:16:05,919 --> 00:16:08,120
take care of business against the Jets this weekend. So

306
00:16:08,639 --> 00:16:13,120

349
00:18:45,079 --> 00:18:48,200
Florida Football Insiders Podcast. We gave you a little recap

350
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:51,480
of all the state teams in our previous segment. Now

351
00:18:51,599 --> 00:18:54,720
let's get to Gainesville, Florida. We're going to talk Florida

352
00:18:54,799 --> 00:18:58,559
Gators twenty to ten losers in Baton Rouge Death Valley

353
00:18:58,599 --> 00:19:01,480
on Saturday night. No better person to talk to than

354
00:19:01,519 --> 00:19:05,000
somebody that was in the building to see DJ Lagway's

355
00:19:05,039 --> 00:19:08,559
five interceptions and such. Mister Kevin Lagway, beat writer for

356
00:19:08,559 --> 00:19:11,519
the Gainesville Sun. He covers the Gators three hundred and

357
00:19:11,519 --> 00:19:14,079
sixty five days a year. Welcome back, Kevin, how are you?

358
00:19:14,799 --> 00:19:17,640
Speaker 4: Yes, I think it was fu Kevin Broadway, but Kevin

359
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,920
Lagway would be we would call it. I don't know

360
00:19:21,039 --> 00:19:24,559
if I'd want to be one of DJ's relatives to

361
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:28,680
answer the questions for for that performance unfortunately, but it was.

362
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:32,559
It was really something I think that you know, I

363
00:19:32,559 --> 00:19:36,319
think we're seeing you know how important you know, the

364
00:19:36,319 --> 00:19:39,039
practice time, the development is between your freshman and sophomore,

365
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,839
or the offseason just being on the field as opposed

366
00:19:41,839 --> 00:19:44,240
to mental reps. I think it's it's been showing up

367
00:19:44,279 --> 00:19:46,079
week to week now the first few weeks and season.

368
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, this was this was kind of his really worst

369
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,400
performance of his career Florida. I mean, he never had

370
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:54,720
a game where he had performed this poorly. And you know,

371
00:19:54,839 --> 00:19:57,920
in retrospect, the Florida defense played really well. They kept

372
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,759
Florida in that game as long as the humanly possibly could.

373
00:20:00,839 --> 00:20:03,480
But Lagway just continued to throw to the other team,

374
00:20:03,519 --> 00:20:05,079
and there were two or three of those that were

375
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,359
just you hate to say it, miss reads, are just

376
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:10,200
awful throws that weren't even close. Just give me your

377
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,640
sense from being in the building Saturday night, kind of

378
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:14,160
after the second or third one.

379
00:20:14,519 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 4: What were your thoughts, Yeah, you know, I mean I

380
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:19,880
think some people were wondering, you know, whether you would

381
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,160
go to Tremmell Jones at this point. But I think

382
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:26,480
Billy Napier is sticking by his quarterback, sticking by the

383
00:20:26,519 --> 00:20:29,519
guy that you know, he recruited at Willis High School,

384
00:20:29,599 --> 00:20:32,359
the top you know, national recruit, Gatorade High School Player

385
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,720
of the Year. I mean, I think DJ showed his

386
00:20:34,839 --> 00:20:38,599
talent certainly last year in his ability to you know,

387
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,599
create big plays, particularly with his arm, you know, the

388
00:20:41,599 --> 00:20:44,799
twelve completions of forty yards or more, and I think

389
00:20:44,839 --> 00:20:47,160
teams have adjusted right keeping things in front of him.

390
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,640
I think DJ's probably a little frustrated in that regard

391
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,160
and as maybe trying to force throws that aren't there,

392
00:20:53,839 --> 00:20:57,400
and you know, maybe also just kind of misreading. And

393
00:20:57,640 --> 00:20:59,799
you know, Billy Napier talked a lot yesterday too about

394
00:20:59,799 --> 00:21:02,880
time and score in those situations, you know, a ten

395
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:07,319
ten game where it's thirty seconds left and you try

396
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,160
to throw them all over the middle because you know

397
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,200
you're probably going into the half at least time to

398
00:21:12,279 --> 00:21:14,359
ten ten, if not setting up for your own field goal.

399
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,079
And then late in the game, throw the overthrow of

400
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:20,240
the interception in the end zone where you're in field

401
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,960
goal range for Tray Smack, who's got a big leg

402
00:21:23,759 --> 00:21:26,119
where you could you know, maybe you know, get a

403
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,519
field goal there and cut it to a one score

404
00:21:28,559 --> 00:21:32,200
game kind of to twenty to thirteen. So those are

405
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:35,599
the kind of things that Billy wants this quarterback to

406
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:38,759
be mindful of, those time and score situation of situational

407
00:21:38,759 --> 00:21:43,160
football where maybe you don't make as risky you throw

408
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:44,200
as you should.

409
00:21:44,759 --> 00:21:46,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, and if you look at the box score a

410
00:21:46,559 --> 00:21:48,880
little bit, thirty seven minutes of time and possession for

411
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:52,160
the Gators, I mean they were dominating being on the field.

412
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:54,599
Two things that kind of stuck out to me and

413
00:21:54,799 --> 00:21:58,079
looking at the box score. Eugene Wilson Trey Wilson only

414
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,559
two catches. I know you had a bunch of completions

415
00:22:00,559 --> 00:22:02,880
to other guys, but boy, Wilson's kind of your most

416
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:06,160
electrifying guy. Only two catches out of gen Wilson. Don't

417
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:07,720
you have to if you're Billy Napery, don't you have

418
00:22:07,759 --> 00:22:10,160
to scheme some plays to get the ball into Eugene

419
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:10,960
Wilson's hands.

420
00:22:11,799 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, you know, he is one of the you know,

421
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:17,759
fastest receivers on the team, I think too. You know,

422
00:22:17,799 --> 00:22:20,960
you had Delaney on him, who's an NFL level corner.

423
00:22:21,599 --> 00:22:23,799
I think that factored into it too, in terms of

424
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,680
how well he was covering him. But yeah, no, Trey

425
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,200
Wilson's gotta find ways to get open for sure, and

426
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:33,240
Florida's gonna maybe find ways to find him.

427
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:34,279
Speaker 5: I know that.

428
00:22:34,759 --> 00:22:36,599
Speaker 4: You know, early in the season, they were doing a

429
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,920
lot of those kind of jet sweet pitch passes and

430
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,480
so forth, things of that nature, but they weren't working

431
00:22:42,559 --> 00:22:44,480
very well. And I think one of the issues with

432
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:48,599
you know, Trey Wilson run after catches. You know, he's

433
00:22:48,599 --> 00:22:51,319
one hundred and eighty pounds, so it's kind of easy

434
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:54,440
to take down, particularly in an SEC game against SEC defenders.

435
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:56,799
So but he's gonna keep working at it, you know.

436
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,240
I thought Aidan Mizel showed some promise in that game.

437
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,720
Obviously had the touch I catch. You know, Vanill Brown

438
00:23:02,759 --> 00:23:05,480
the third looks like he's got a lot of ability

439
00:23:05,519 --> 00:23:09,000
both as a receiver and a you know, a return guy.

440
00:23:09,039 --> 00:23:13,319
And j Michael sturtevant Uh hasn't quite flashed yet as

441
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:16,319
much as he could, so I think those things. And

442
00:23:16,599 --> 00:23:18,759
you know what really hurts is is having you know,

443
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:21,799
Dallas Wilson with the legendary another Tampa kid that looked

444
00:23:21,839 --> 00:23:25,160
electric in the spring game, and uh looks like, you know,

445
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:26,519
he's still going to be out for a bit with

446
00:23:26,519 --> 00:23:27,200
that leg injury.

447
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:28,559
Speaker 1: And the other part of the other part of the

448
00:23:28,599 --> 00:23:31,160
box score that really got me got me a little

449
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:34,519
surprised and confused, was you're in the game, You're it's

450
00:23:34,519 --> 00:23:36,319
a defensive kind of game, but you only give jayde

451
00:23:36,319 --> 00:23:39,000
and Ball ten carries. You know, they didn't run the ball.

452
00:23:39,039 --> 00:23:40,640
I don't think enough. And I know that L s

453
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,079
U front and that defense is good, but boy, you

454
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:44,680
got to run the ball a little bit more. I mean,

455
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:46,680
that's to me, that's the strength of that Florida team,

456
00:23:46,799 --> 00:23:49,799
is those running backs. Only ten carris for Jade Ball.

457
00:23:50,759 --> 00:23:53,599
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was a little weird that, you know, and listen,

458
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:57,720
they're finding John Bond the spring got the excuse me.

459
00:23:57,799 --> 00:24:02,680
The screen passes, though, particularly one during the touchdown drive

460
00:24:02,759 --> 00:24:04,759
where it was the third and fourth probably Anabrier's best

461
00:24:04,759 --> 00:24:07,039
play call the game. I think Dad a little dup

462
00:24:07,079 --> 00:24:11,319
off screen when LC brought pressure and that screen gained

463
00:24:11,319 --> 00:24:14,880
about twenty five yards, so Ball had seven catches for

464
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:16,000
another fifty, so he can't.

465
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:17,920
Speaker 5: He had close to one hundred all purpose yards for

466
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:18,359
the game.

467
00:24:19,039 --> 00:24:21,279
Speaker 4: But that being said, yeah, you would like to get

468
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:24,480
him the ball a little bit more, you know, a

469
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,319
handoff on the ground. You know, he's splitting carries a

470
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:30,680
little bit with Jacobe Jackson, but Jacoby hasn't been off

471
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:32,640
to the best start this season, and I think you

472
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:34,599
know you're going to see Ball continue to get the

473
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,079
bulk of the carries here going forward.

474
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:39,880
Speaker 1: You would you like out of the Florida defense? I mean,

475
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,319
obviously they hold Nussmer to twenty points in that building,

476
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:44,240
and for most of that game it was thirteen to

477
00:24:44,279 --> 00:24:46,839
ten for a long time. Would you like to would

478
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:48,279
you like what'd you see? And would you like out

479
00:24:48,319 --> 00:24:49,240
of that Florida defense?

480
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:53,440
Speaker 4: Well, linebackers, Miles Graham, you know, playing very well. I

481
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:57,160
thought the Dejon Johnson had to pick secondary did okay.

482
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:01,640
Still the front though, they stopped the run very well.

483
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:05,039
But you would have liked to have seen a couple

484
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,640
more of those negative plays, right like they had, you know,

485
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,119
seven sacks against Nuts my last year. This year, they

486
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:13,119
had no sacks, only one quarterback Curry, so they weren't

487
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:16,240
necessarily you know, getting to the quarterback as much, and

488
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:18,680
LSU played a little bit of quick game on them.

489
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:20,759
But there were times when nus Meyer dropped back too

490
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:24,039
and the pocket was comfortable enough for him to make

491
00:25:24,079 --> 00:25:27,960
some throws. So while it was a good day for

492
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:31,319
the defense, it wasn't, you know, obviously good enough to

493
00:25:31,319 --> 00:25:34,119
get out of the winning side. And no turnovers either, no,

494
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:37,599
none of those game breaking plays or one, excuse me,

495
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:40,200
the Dejaun Johnson, but certainly not as many as LSU had.

496
00:25:40,559 --> 00:25:42,640
Speaker 1: What sense did you get in the locker room after

497
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:44,960
the game? Just the mood of the locker room. Obviously,

498
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:46,759
I thought that was probably a game. You know, if

499
00:25:46,759 --> 00:25:49,039
they don't throw five picks, they probably they either win

500
00:25:49,079 --> 00:25:52,160
the game or that game goes deep into the fourth quarters.

501
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:54,079
What kind of sense in the mood of the players

502
00:25:54,079 --> 00:25:55,680
in the locker room did you get?

503
00:25:56,519 --> 00:26:00,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would say that you know, DJ came out

504
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:02,079
and he faced the music a little bit, and he

505
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:05,720
you know, took the accountability on him. Miles Graham as well.

506
00:26:05,759 --> 00:26:08,119
Even with the defense, it feels like that there are

507
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,359
ways the defense could have played better. So I think

508
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:15,200
that you know, a little shell shock, but also I

509
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:19,599
would say, you know, willing to take accountability, not necessarily

510
00:26:19,599 --> 00:26:23,640
shying away from it. I know some people think that

511
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:26,480
when a quarterback has a turnover performance like that, you know,

512
00:26:26,519 --> 00:26:28,359
the locker room can kind of fracture a little bit

513
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:30,720
in terms of the defense versus the offense. I have

514
00:26:30,799 --> 00:26:34,920
not seen that yet, but we will see. You know,

515
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:36,839
if DJ has another bad game or two like this,

516
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:38,720
it's a little turnover prone.

517
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:41,039
Speaker 5: Then then you know, maybe we will see if if

518
00:26:41,079 --> 00:26:41,960
that's the case.

519
00:26:42,279 --> 00:26:44,759
Speaker 1: Well, obviously we we wrap up. Then the Gators are

520
00:26:44,759 --> 00:26:47,079
now one and two. Obviously, you lose the us F

521
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:49,640
last week, you lose LSU this week. Now you have

522
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,039
to turn turn the page quickly and go play a

523
00:26:52,079 --> 00:26:54,240
top five team in the country in Miami, in hard

524
00:26:54,319 --> 00:26:57,759
rock in Miami. Miami comes off of the beating of Florida.

525
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,000
I'm a USF I man, a team that the Case

526
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,559
lost to three two weeks ago. They beat him by

527
00:27:02,559 --> 00:27:06,079
thirty thirty five. Just talk about you know, is this

528
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:09,039
a spot where again, do you anticipate this being a

529
00:27:09,079 --> 00:27:12,319
spirited effort out of billion in his guys or could

530
00:27:12,319 --> 00:27:15,440
you see this being you know, something where oh, man,

531
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:17,519
here we go again and they get beat by two

532
00:27:17,559 --> 00:27:18,400
or three touchdowns.

533
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:20,880
Speaker 4: You know, I don't think like I haven't seen the

534
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,440
effort being the issue yet. It's just the execution, right,

535
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:27,960
It's just you know, being making smart plays. And you know,

536
00:27:28,079 --> 00:27:31,559
certainly you know another aspect of that game too. If

537
00:27:31,559 --> 00:27:33,960
you're calling the LSU game, you know, you're up three nothing,

538
00:27:34,519 --> 00:27:37,160
you're kind of pinned deep in your end there and

539
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,920
you're thinking to yourself, well, you know, you might have

540
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,200
to put the ball away, and then Lagway studs the

541
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:45,160
play kind of heaves the ball downfield. Jade Baw is

542
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:47,240
there and it's a stunning you know, he's behind the

543
00:27:47,279 --> 00:27:50,319
defense completely. It's a stunning eighty seven yard touchdown.

544
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:50,599
Speaker 5: Hats.

545
00:27:50,599 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 4: The only problem is flag on the play, you know.

546
00:27:53,319 --> 00:27:56,160
And it turns out that Nijah Harris gets called for holding.

547
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,359
So it's kind of like little things like that that

548
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:01,319
have been happening, right, you know. And that's the third

549
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:02,799
touchdown and the last.

550
00:28:02,599 --> 00:28:05,319
Speaker 1: Got about that play that way game, big play that game.

551
00:28:05,519 --> 00:28:09,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, three three plays and that's the third touchdown in

552
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:10,960
the last two game that gets called back on a flag.

553
00:28:11,039 --> 00:28:14,240
So the penalties have been a big problem as well.

554
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:19,000
Just that overall, you know, discipline of you know, not

555
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,359
not holding or not making that play in that situation

556
00:28:22,279 --> 00:28:26,319
really hurts. And you know, offensively only two touchdowns the

557
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:28,799
last two games too. I mean, it's got to get better.

558
00:28:29,759 --> 00:28:32,759
They've got it, you know. USF it was red zone execution,

559
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:37,759
right and here it was turnovers and penalties that were

560
00:28:37,839 --> 00:28:40,480
killing drives. So they just have to be a little

561
00:28:40,519 --> 00:28:42,079
bit more on potant in those situations.

562
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 1: To the hard question here if they were to get

563
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:48,319
beat badly here in Miami bye week coming up, is

564
00:28:48,799 --> 00:28:51,720
do you get any sense of potential change at the

565
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:53,880
bye week or do you think he's gonna get at

566
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,079
least Texas in the Texas A and M game to

567
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:57,359
kind of write the ship.

568
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, at first I thought maybe, you know, open week,

569
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,240
it would make sense then, But the latest that I'm

570
00:29:03,279 --> 00:29:06,200
hearing is if they're gonna give him, you know, every

571
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,960
opportunity to dig out of this at least through October

572
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:13,039
and then maybe the second open week would be you know,

573
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:15,559
if things don't improve, and if you're two and five

574
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:18,799
or god forbid one and six, you know, I think

575
00:29:18,839 --> 00:29:20,799
that you know, you might pull the plug down. Don't

576
00:29:20,799 --> 00:29:23,839
forget too there's this rule with transfers to the first

577
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:28,759
five games, you have a thirty day transfer window to

578
00:29:29,599 --> 00:29:32,880
if your coach is let go, but that that disappears

579
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:34,680
after week five. So I think a lot of it too, is,

580
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:38,720
you know, do you want your your players put on

581
00:29:38,759 --> 00:29:41,079
the season or not or there to be a mass

582
00:29:41,119 --> 00:29:44,839
exodus because a lot of them do like Billy. So

583
00:29:45,079 --> 00:29:46,839
I think he's gonna get a little bit of a time,

584
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,079
at least half the season to try to try to

585
00:29:49,079 --> 00:29:49,920
figure this thing out.

586
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:53,319
Speaker 1: What's the mood in the in the Gainesville community? Is

587
00:29:53,359 --> 00:29:55,480
it just a matter of when for most people? Or

588
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:58,039
do they or do they think? I mean, I know

589
00:29:58,079 --> 00:30:00,599
it's hard when you're losing. What kind of sense you

590
00:30:00,599 --> 00:30:02,079
get from the community in Gainesville?

591
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, a lot of frustration and wondering why he's still here.

592
00:30:06,559 --> 00:30:10,079
And I think certainly, you know, last year, I kind

593
00:30:10,079 --> 00:30:12,160
of thought the four game winning streak bottoms some equity,

594
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:16,200
but that USF loss, it left quick, you know, following

595
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:19,240
that loss, and and then you know, certainly the way

596
00:30:19,279 --> 00:30:22,839
you look going to LSU. Not that they didn't compete hard, right,

597
00:30:22,839 --> 00:30:25,200
but they don't give you, you know, they you know

598
00:30:25,279 --> 00:30:26,799
this isn't you soccer.

599
00:30:26,839 --> 00:30:28,359
Speaker 5: They don't give you medals for trying hard.

600
00:30:28,359 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 4: This is the sec you got to win, right and

601
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:35,039
you were hoping in year four, if you're a Florida fan,

602
00:30:35,079 --> 00:30:36,839
then it was going to start to really turn the corner.

603
00:30:36,839 --> 00:30:38,880
And are you know, Billy Navy, These are all players,

604
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:41,319
not pretty much. I think there are a few fifth

605
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:44,160
year stranglers from the Dan mullen air, but even those guys,

606
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:46,759
you look at Austin Barber and Jake Slaughter, those are

607
00:30:46,759 --> 00:30:50,000
two year better guys. But for the most part, these

608
00:30:50,039 --> 00:30:53,079
are mostly Billies guys now, and a lot of them

609
00:30:53,119 --> 00:30:57,079
aren't necessarily some of them aren't performing up to their

610
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:02,519
recruiting billing, and other you know, having developed necessarily to

611
00:31:02,519 --> 00:31:04,680
the rate that you'd like to see him develop.

612
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 1: At this point, Well, the Gayer is gonna have another

613
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:10,559
great opportunity on primetime Saturday night in Miami on you know,

614
00:31:10,599 --> 00:31:13,119
another top five opponent. You got a bye week. Then

615
00:31:13,119 --> 00:31:15,599
you have a Texas team who's not playing really well.

616
00:31:16,039 --> 00:31:18,359
Arch that you know there's he's not played really well,

617
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:20,799
So you're gonna have there's some opportunity here if your

618
00:31:20,799 --> 00:31:22,720
if your Billy, if you can just get the execution

619
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,119
up you can get the performance of some of your

620
00:31:25,119 --> 00:31:27,680
better guys to play a little better. There's an opportunity

621
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:30,000
here to get right back in the mix. But you got,

622
00:31:30,039 --> 00:31:32,960
like you mentioned, the execution and your better players got

623
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:34,599
to play good when it's time to play good. I mean,

624
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:37,200
you can't have the holding. Like you said, I completely

625
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,559
forgot that the eighty seven yard touchdown that was a

626
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:42,160
huge play in that game. Florida goes up ten to nothing.

627
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:44,880
That's a completely different, uh, you know environment in that

628
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:47,759
building as opposed to three nothing in holding calls. So

629
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:52,160
enjoy the enjoy your time in Miami this weekend, Kevin,

630
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:54,279
I know you'll do some great work Gainesville Sun.

631
00:31:54,759 --> 00:31:54,960
Speaker 3: Uh.

632
00:31:55,079 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 1: Tell everybody where they can find all your great work online.

633
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, at Gatorsports dot well, Gatersports dot com, Gainsville dot com,

634
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:06,680
and at Kevin brockwayg one on Twitter and we Jason,

635
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:08,640
I always appreciate it should be should be a lot

636
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,119
of fun. You know it's gonna be interesting because you know,

637
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:14,240
now with this nine game SEC schedule, I don't think

638
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:16,480
we're gonna see another Florida Miami game in quite a while,

639
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:19,400
so this will be uh and I think a lot

640
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:22,720
of people thought maybe early in the season, if Miami

641
00:32:22,799 --> 00:32:25,079
lost the Notre Dame and if Florida started three and other,

642
00:32:25,079 --> 00:32:27,079
there'd be a lot of Gator fans down there. I

643
00:32:27,079 --> 00:32:29,160
think the shoes on the other foot. Now game day's coming,

644
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:32,319
but they're coming from Miami, and I think you're gonna

645
00:32:32,319 --> 00:32:35,359
see it's gonna be more like eighty twenty ninety ten.

646
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:38,480
I think now Miami to Florida fans in there.

647
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,519
Speaker 1: Any Nuggets on the basketball front, I know we're about

648
00:32:41,519 --> 00:32:43,440
a month away or so from basketball kind of getting

649
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:44,880
cranked up. Any Nuggets there.

650
00:32:45,559 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, a couple of weeks away.

651
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 4: I mean actually September twenty second is when they'll start practicing.

652
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:54,119
And really, you know, I think what you're gonna see

653
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:57,839
is at three, a bigger front line with Tommy Hawk

654
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:00,440
playing the wing at small forward to go with Alex

655
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:05,039
Connon and Ruben Ginlu and and you know, Boogie Fland

656
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:08,440
is back from offseason hernia surgery, so you got him

657
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:11,039
and Zavi and Lee and the guards and A J.

658
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:13,720
Brown coming off the bench. I mean, that's potential to

659
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:15,599
be another really strong team, another team that can make

660
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:19,799
a deep run. But you are losing a generational talent

661
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:24,000
in Walter Clayton Junior. So it'll just be interesting to

662
00:33:24,039 --> 00:33:27,680
see how the backcourt, uh kind of comes together during

663
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:29,640
the course of the year with the two transfers who

664
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:34,440
are very talented players, but you know, a national championship

665
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:36,640
guard like Walter Clayton jun He just brought something a

666
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:38,799
little extra, a little extra flair, a guy that can

667
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:40,799
make a big shot at the big moment. I think

668
00:33:40,839 --> 00:33:43,519
that's the thing that's that's not proven yet that you know,

669
00:33:43,559 --> 00:33:46,359
you still have to watch and see. But I think

670
00:33:46,359 --> 00:33:49,039
Todd does a pretty good job of developing his players

671
00:33:49,079 --> 00:33:52,319
certainly and finding those you know, diamonds in a rough

672
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:55,039
and and I think you know, you'll you'll see some

673
00:33:55,119 --> 00:33:58,279
of the frontcourt guys like how like Alex Condon take

674
00:33:58,279 --> 00:33:59,480
got more of a leadership role.

675
00:34:00,119 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 1: One more thing I just thought about. It's something I

676
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:03,079
saw a couple of weeks bat that was kind of

677
00:34:03,119 --> 00:34:08,199
under the radar and way after the fact. Scot O'Sullivan

678
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:10,679
gets suspended by the a D for what the first

679
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:13,360
three or four games of the season. What was what

680
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:15,519
was the oedipice of being so late on that way

681
00:34:15,559 --> 00:34:17,440
after I mean, they said there was going to be

682
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:19,559
an internal discipline and all that, and then you know,

683
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:22,199
three four months later they announced it. What was kind

684
00:34:22,199 --> 00:34:22,760
of behind that?

685
00:34:23,559 --> 00:34:26,199
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it was just the announcing schedule too.

686
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:28,239
I think they kind of did it around the same time.

687
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:31,679
And what's interesting about the the uh you know, the

688
00:34:32,119 --> 00:34:36,679
suspension is, yeah, it's a three game suspension, but it includes.

689
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:37,800
Speaker 5: The two fall games.

690
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:42,199
Speaker 4: So really it's a one game suspension in season, but

691
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:45,280
it's it's the fall games that they have for fall baseball.

692
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:47,800
Speaker 5: He's gonna be suspended from those games.

693
00:34:48,599 --> 00:34:50,679
Speaker 1: Okay, that's on.

694
00:34:50,639 --> 00:34:54,159
Speaker 5: Your point of view, suspension games.

695
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:56,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, that makes it even worse in my venue.

696
00:34:56,599 --> 00:34:59,079
But well, Kevin, great work, back, keep up the great work,
