Thoughts on the Gators: * Wow. No words. Ok, that’s a lie. I’ve got plenty of words. But, wow. * To be clear, this wasn’t about Ole Miss having an emotional letdown. Ole Miss is good. And was ready. They were hyped. Chambliss is very good and played well. This was simply one very good SEC team taking another very good team to the woodshed. I mean … to. the. woodshed. * The more physical team usually wins. You realize how physical you gotta be to rush for 300 yards? * The offensive coaching is ridiculously good. The play-calling was superb, per usual. But it’s way more than that. The precision with how those plays are executed. The timing of motion, snap and handoff on jet sweeps. Guys always knowing who to block. So few missed assignments. And the development of the offensive line. And all of the tight ends. And the depth of wide receivers when starters keep getting hurt. And the development of a backup running back. All really good stuff. And of course, there is that play-calling. The timing of what to call and when. Amazing. * I don’t think UF will be a great pass-rushing team. But Jayden Woods’ strip sack was the biggest play of the game. Provided separation in what was becoming a shootout. Ole Miss was playing uphill the rest of the way. * The linebackers can run. Graham, Chiles and Jaden Robinson rotating at two spots. Chiles looks leaner and quicker. * Special teams. Long kickoff returns. Make every field goal. Cover everything. The only punt went 12 miles and out of bounds at the one. * Florida will be the talk of college football this week. The national shows, all the talking heads. They now will be regarded as one of the elite teams. Amazing how fast that happened. Which is the latest challenge for Sumrall. After today, just like that, the Gators have become the hunted. Have to manage heightened expectations. * Worried about the injury to VB III. The Gators are very deep at WR, but that dude is special - so good on the field, but in many ways the emotional heart and soul of the team. Meanwhile, Bailey Stockton is one tough cat. * Baugh is so freaking good. So is Duke Clark. What a tandem. * Philo was good. Missed a few throws. Arm talent is good, not great. Underthrew a few long ones. But really knows how to run that offense. Love watching him play. * Last thing. … I’m glad Lane Kiffin didn’t want the job. * One more last thing … My school has Jon Sumrall AND Todd Golden. That is all. Cheers.
