No. 25 Florida prepares to host No. 3 Mississippi
“His teammates respect the heck out of him, and that’s what you want”.
Chad Grier, father of Will Grier, recaps the Tennessee game: The elder Grier attended the game Saturday and watched his son lead a fourth quarter comeback for the ages.
The statistic still seemed incredible to John Jancek three days after Tennessee’s 28-27 gut-punch loss to Florida.
McElwain is trying to continue to stress the details in practice this week heading into No. 25 Florida’s showdown with No. 3 Ole Miss at The Swamp. That means Florida will need a big game from Kelvin Taylor.
Tebow touched on the passion of the Florida fan base when he spoke with TV20 on Friday prior to Saturday morning’s live broadcast. I want to free up our coaching staff to coach.
“That is part of the responsibility here”.
But even with an 0-9 record at Arkansas in games decided by seven points or less, Bielema might be catching less heat than Jones. The Eagles are allowing 373.3 yards rushing per game. For Florida this would be an outstanding season goal but only time will tell if they can overcome the obstacles that come there way in Ole Miss, Mizzou, LSU, and of course the famous rivalry FSU.
Now Alabama has to travel to play a Georgia team that brings a leading Heisman contender in Nick Chubb and a suddenly ultra-efficient quarterback in Greyson Lambert (just two incompletions in his last two starts).
No. 21 Mississippi State at No. 14 Texas A&M (-6.5), 6:30 p.m. Saturday (SEC Network): This is your classic “Win it in the trenches” game.
A lot of media and fans have called for that chart to be burned or thrown away.
So much of the success of any first-year starter depends on his confidence, and Grier should have gained plenty of it from the two touchdown drives he orchestrated in the fourth quarter against the Vols. And in a quirk of the SEC schedule, all three of those crossover games are being played on the home turf of Eastern Division teams.
“I think there was a little confusion at times whether the clock was stopped or not, so that all goes into awareness”, Tennessee quarterback Josh Dobbs said Monday.
Florida, now ranked No. 25 after a 4-0 start, has done enough to get wins in the first four games.
“I do”, he said. Louisville is since 1-3 this season. I was never concerned because I thought we had a great plan. Conner is just a week removed from a successful surgery on a torn meniscus in his right knee he suffered in the team’s win against the Alabama Crimson Tide. Freshman receiver Antonio Callaway caught a 63-yard touchdown pass on a fourth-and-14 play for the game-winning score. The Gamecocks might be the closest thing anyone has to a freebie this year, but they still have more talent than Vanderbilt so they stay at 13. “We have to put all of our effort into preparation”. Running back Alvin Kamara and tight end Ethan Wolf led the Vols in targets with five and three, respectively. “There’s no finger-pointing, nothing like that”. We know we’re the hunted now.
“Here’s the good thing about that, when they do do it, then they’re able to see it and they’re able to visualize it and see it on video”, McElwain said.
The solution for Tennessee’s passing-game and second-half woes were not given post-game, but the reality of the two still exist going into a three-game SEC stretch of playing Arkansas, Georgia and then at Alabama. We practice it that way and he executed. “We’re just focused on being the best team that we can be”.
Jones said the coaches were back at work at 7 a.m. Sunday after going home about midnight.
Jancek said he is frustrated with what he is seeing from his players on fourth down, though.
“I relate everything to what I learned from Spurrier”. Is it a fundamental mistake?
“They’re going to be just as excited to play us as we are them”, said Kelly, a senior. Everything that we do is looked at.
