Pittman was known as an awesome OL coach before he got the Arkansas gig. I’d take him as analyst, right now.

Sun Belt Billy gets Dallas Wilson back from injury this week, so UF is pumped about that. They also expect 2 other WRs to play in Sturdivant and Mizell. Things don't look as positive on the defensive side of the ball.
SpoilerFlorida's Week 5 bye not only presented the Gators an extended opportunity to improve in practice following the team's 1-3 start to the 2025 season; it also offered several injured players extra time to treat their ailments and focus on recovery before UF returns to the field in Week 6.
"It came at a good time. I do think some of the guys that maybe wouldn't have been available if we played [this past] Saturday, I think we'll get back," Florida head coach Billy Napier said on Monday.
"And then, obviously, we still have some bangs and bruises that are hanging around that will hopefully make progress throughout the week. But, in general, yes, some of those guys that maybe couldn't play Saturday if we played, I do think we anticipate getting those guys back.
Most notably, freshman Florida wide receiver Dallas Wilson returned to practice during the bye after missing the first four games of his rookie season, due to a lower-leg injury suffered during UF's fall training camp in August.
Napier revealed Wilson participated daily, with the team practicing Tuesday through Thursday, and that while his anticipated workload for Florida's upcoming matchup with No. 9 Texas remains to be determined, the freshman "feels really good."
"We'll see as we go throughout the week. But three good days of work last week, and I thought he handled the load well. We'll be getting the report each day in terms of what the numbers look like and where he's at, but he feels really good. So far, so good."
One of Florida's highest-rated signees from the 2025 recruiting class, Wilson quickly emerged as a potential target for Gators quarterback DJ Lagway, or any other passer who takes the field for UF, throughout his first offseason with the program.
Wilson stole the pass-catching show during Florida's Orange and Blue Game this past April, his first performance in front of UF fans at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, with his 10 receptions for 195 yards, respectively setting and tying those program records for the exhibition, to pair with two touchdowns.
"Oh man, just having him out there is going to be just amazing for us," Lagway said of Wilson Monday. "His ability to go deep, his ability to make plays underneath, being able to make miraculous plays with the ball in his hand. It is going to be great to have him back."
Additionally, Napier positively commented on another pair of Gators wide receivers. He suggested redshirt senior J. Michael Sturdivant is on the right track after taking a big hit against Miami in Week 4 that caused him to leave the game in the third quarter with an apparent upper-body injury, and noted redshirt sophomore Aidan Mizell has recovered from a "setback" that prevented him from taking the field against the Hurricanes.
Ahead of the Miami contest, Mizell revealed he was a "little banged up" after he scored a touchdown against LSU in Week 3. He went on to practice but was considered a game-time decision in Week 4 and ultimately did not play.
"Right now, if we were playing today, he'd be playing," Napier said of Mizell.
Sturdivant, an offseason transfer from UCLA, has produced eight catches for 76 yards and one touchdown through his first four games with the Gators this season; Mizell has logged five catches for 59 yards and one touchdown in two appearances.
On the other side of the ball, Napier suggested redshirt sophomore Aaron Gates could return to play after suffering an upper-body injury against Miami, which led him to exit the game.
"We do anticipate potentially getting Aaron back," said Napier. "So, but that's going to be day-to-day depending on kind of how that goes. But I think we got good news on that front and then obviously you'll get an injury report Wednesday night."
Gates has logged seven tackles over four games this season, in a rotation at STAR nickel cornerback with junior Sharif Denson.
Napier did not offer updates on sophomore defensive tackle Michai Boireau and redshirt senior edge rusher George Gumbs Jr., who each missed Week 4 with various injuries, nor did he comment on redshirt sophomore defensive tackle Brendan Bett, who left the contest against Miami with an apparent knee injury.
Florida will release its first of four Southeastern Conference-mandated availability reports on Wednesday ahead of its Saturday matchup with Texas.

Vogel has a pretty good view on UF statistically spoilered below.
Highlights:
-UF can't get to the QB. They're second to last in the nation in sacks this year.
-DJ Lagway threw a fantastic deep ball last year. He's not doing much well this season.
-It's not just that UF can't throw. They can't run the ball either.
SpoilerPreviewing Florida
Saturday marks the opening of SEC play for the Texas Longhorns.
This weekend was a whirlwind of football across the conference and now Texas will be able to join the fun with a trip to The Swamp.
As the week of game prep carries on, I wanted to share some numbers regarding Florida and what can be expected for the 2:30 p.m. kickoff this Saturday.
***
Quarterback Pressure
For a school like Florida, this really surprised me.
But the Gators rank 135th out of 136 teams in division one college football in 2025 with only 3.0 sacks.
It is the 2nd worst mark in the entire country and again, not something I would have expected given the level of talent typically residing in Gainesville.
No Deep Ball
With DJ Lagway, it has been anything but a season of highlights. Lagway sits with 5 touchdown passes and 6 interceptions on the season.
When Lagway stepped onto the scene a year ago, the country became enamored with the deep shots. Lagway was superb throwing the football vertically down the field and it is a large reason for why the expectations were so high for Lagway entering the season.
But again, when looking at the quantity of deep pass attempts, this part of the game has completely vanished from the Florida play book.
Lagway attempts just 5.7% of his passes beyond 20 yards down field. That ranks dead last out of 142 qualifying quarterbacks in 2025.
Only 7 of Lagway's 123 pass attempts have traveled 20 yards down field. Only one was completed.
Jaden Baugh is Still Really Good
The Florida running game has not been very impressive this season.
The Gators currently rank 107th in the country in rushing offense this season with an average of 123.0 yards per game.
In fact, 72.64% of the Gators running back rush yards have come after contact, that ranks 14th out of 16 teams in the SEC. The offensive line has not been able to create running lanes.
Still, Jaden Baugh has created 21 missed tackles forced this season, that ranks 15th in the entire country and 13 players ranked above Baugh have played an extra game. Baugh will be a handful.
Explosive Plays
The Florida offense ranks 119th in the country with only 13 plays of 20+ yards.
The Florida defense ranks 22nd in the country with only 12 plays of 20+ yards allowed.
Third Downs
The Florida offense ranks 123rd in the country on 3rd down conversions, converting 17/55 this season for a 30.9% rate.
On the flip side, Florida defensively ranks 36th in the country. Allowing just 19/58 third down attempts, for a 32.8% clip.
Take the Points
Since the beginning of 2023, the Texas Longhorns are 26–2 when they score 21 points or more.
- 16 points scored vs. South Florida
- 10 points scored vs. LSU
- 7 points scored vs. Miami
Florida Has a Legit CB1
Cormani McClain has been very good for the Florida Gators in 2025. That should come as no surprise, McClain was a five-star cornerback in the class of 2024 out of Lakeland, Florida.
Through four contests this fall, McClain has been targeted just five times on his 65 pass coverage snaps and has the 9th highest pass coverage grade in the country according to PFF at 82.4.
McClain has allowed just three receptions for 23 yards. Oddly, 28 yards have been after the catch. So that tells me most of those receptions were screen plays.

Fair. I am a great compartmentalizer. The only time I ever think about the Charlie Strong era is when someone here brings it up, and then I think about it only long enough to dismiss it.

And stroh is significantly worse than Conner in run blocking.
That is literally impossible. Conner was asymptoting towards the worst runblocker in Texas history. He was scraping near an area under the curve known as The Jason Glynn Experience and you do not want a player anywhere near that realm. Stroh might actually be the worst runblocking lineman in Texas history, but that's only mildly worse than Conner.
2 minutes ago, Atticus said:I’m not a Stroh advocate, he’s generally bad with limited athletic upside. He’s very strong though and it shows up sometimes.
I was a Neto believer, but he couldn’t beat out Hayden Conner and lost his inside track position to Connor Stroh. No longer a Neto believer.
I’d like to see someone else get into the rotation, but I understand why that won’t happen, so I’m hoping for the best with the red headed kid with the gracefulness of a boulder.
I'll get shit for this, but this post reminds me of the thought I had last year when Kelvin Banks got hurt. "Why does it have to be one of the guys that you don't want injured?"

Did not know that. I always wondered why he wasn't involved.
If they finish the season anywhere close to respectable, they'll hire Petrino because it'll be cheap and the fans love him because he won 10 games there literally 15 years ago.
My relatives have been harping on the Petrino hire since day 1 last season. When we were up for last year's game, the tailgate chatter was hyperfocused around losing big to Texas so Petrino could take over. It's a bizarre fixation. I laughed listening to Arkansas fans bitch to me about Texas not beating them badly enough. Bizarro world.

Apparently Neto denies the Armenian genocide and has taunted Kyle Flood by printing out box scores of Rutgers' 2015 football season and taping them all over the coaches' office. He's persona non grata accordingly.

Grant me whatever you want, call me whatever you like, I don't give a shit. You've clearly had to change your handle at least once in order to keep posting here, so your thoughts seem really valuable.
Beyond that, this post reflects some combination of instability, imbecility, and insecurity. I don't know if that mix is going to work well for you with my posting behavior. You may want to put me on ignore for your own good.

OZ blocking and pass pro was fine. They were solid there last year. The line is better at screening people. They have struggled moving people, which is kind of annoying when I have heard about big humans for 4-5 years. We seem to be coaching toward developing screeners. The lack of aggression on IZ and gap schemes is noticeable. Flood is a size queen, but that is not matching his proficiency. The difference in physicality between the DL and OL is night and day. If we did not see for the last 4-5 years, you would swear a different staff is coaching the offense and that includes the S&C.
The problem is that Sarkisian wants to run IZ until he's blue in the face. He couldn't last year because of the RB room, but he's damned sure back at it again this season.

I've hired grads from blueblood schools that were terrible, and I've hired folks who went to small directional schools who were fantastic. So, YMMV. Anyway, back to football.
That was part of my point. I'm not saying quality candidates can't come out of Arkansas, but that doesn't really change the overall position of the school within the academic hierarchy of the US.
And yeah, I no longer hire out of the Ivies unless it's Penn and try to avoid Stanford for similar reasons. Conversely, LSU and OU are off-limits for just producing almost nothing but incompetence. LSU should just be closed. Their output is doing more harm than good for any economy they wind up being a part of in this country.

23 minutes ago, Atticus said:Stroh is a first year starter with a real ability to move people. He also has horrible feet. Let’s give him a chance to grow before writing him completely off.
Oh come on. Bad feet for a 370 pound galoot is a systemic problem that isn't going to work itself out. This dude is going to be exploited by every staff worth a fuck that Texas faces. Luckily there are no excellent defensive minds remaining on the schedule for Texas to face, so yeah, we're good to go and should just cross our fingers and give him time.
4 minutes ago, BlackCat said:Maybe Stroh could contribute at an ok level with more time, I don't know. I do know he's not good enough today to play OL for even a decent unit. He simply isn't able to do it and I worry he's the canary in the coal mine for our whole offense, because you can't have a link that weak in your OL and win a championship. The fact he's still starting makes me worry he's our best option which right now would only mean we simply arent good enough.
I joke about the "Kyle Flood needs to be fired" arguments being made throughout this thread, but if we don't see material developments as the season progresses, how the OL is being handled needs to be examined in the offseason.
On the one hand, the NFL production has been outstanding, particularly considering that Goosby will be following suit.
On the other hand, the run blocking has sucked from day one and the talent acquisition hasn't been spotless.

Well, my kid is in his first year there, in the honors college and Fulbright College of arts/sciences, and so far those classes have been a rigorous and engaging academic experience for him. Their acceptance rate in low-to-mid 70s puts them in the middle of the pack in SEC (on par with Mizzou, LSU, OU, etc.) and the % of accepted applicants choosing to go there is rising, so I imagine you'll see the acceptance rate drop in the next decade. So no, it's not Vandy or UT, but it is definitely improving in that area.
Improving from dogshit isn't saying much. On par with Missouri, LSU, OU and the other shitty academic schools in the SEC is saying even less.
I get that it is personal for people who send their kids to these places. I paid for the entire experience of ATM for a child when it was a better academic institution than the diploma mill it has become and I still feel the need to defend its academics occasionally because of that. That said, objectively, the academic rep and the talent output for business-related degrees suck at Arkansas. I've hired Arkansas grads over the years and I am related to two more, one of whom is grant-winning and published MD, and I stand by that position. The rankings all agree.
12 minutes ago, scramblyn said:we are talking about football players on this thread. not a student's experience, however, putting my extreme bias against UA aside, see below.
I 100% acknowledged UA is on the rise. my "I don't give a fuck" about their academics was in relation to talking about football players experience. My kids are avoiding SEC all together so it's not something I will start caring about, but suffice it to say, a lot of UT Exes who have sent their kids to UA have a very similar view as you do.
We are talking about Arkansas on this thread. Your post that the school is "top notch" is outright fucking dumb. Own it or shut the fuck up. Moving goalposts in the conversation isn't fooling anyone and has people speaking of your idiocy in hushed and concerned tones as they read this page of this thread.

You know @Wulaw Horn's a dreamer
But his heart's of gold
He had to run away high
So he wouldn't come home low
Just when things went right
It doesn't mean they were always wrong
Just take this song and you'll never feel
Left all alone
Take him to your heart
Feel him in your bones
Just one more night
And he's coming off this
Long and winding road
He's on his way
He's on his way
Home sweet home
Tonight, tonight
He's on his way
He's on his way
Home sweet home
You know that he's seen
Too many romantic dreams
Up in lights
Falling off the silver screen
His heart's like an open book
For the whole world to read
Sometimes nothing
Keeps him together
At the seams
He's on his way
He's on his way
Home sweet home
Tonight, tonight
He's on his way
Just set him free
Home sweet home
Home sweet home
Home sweet home
Home sweet home
He's on his way
He's on his way
Home sweet home, yeah
He's on his way
Just set him free

Honestly, Arkansas has no one to blame but themselves, they have the Walmart fortune and the JJ fortune to recruit but haven’t. $20M from those two families combined is nothing and would buy a helluva roster. The school and area are top notch. Losers gonna lose I guess. But if Phil knight can make Oregon, arky can gets is billionaires to step up. This is entirely on them.
Hey,man, what the fuck is this nonsense? The school is top notch? According to people who went there, perhaps, and that is about it.
16 hours ago, Aqua Buddha said:The Waltons are completely disinterested in sports and the Tysons care about track and (now) football. Jerry has always chipped in for coach buyouts but seems disengaged from the NIL game. Not sure why.
The Jones family cannot be involved with NIL due to the league's position that ownership participating in NIL for college athletes constitutes a conflict of interest. When we were courting Cal McNair, he asked the league's compliance end to provide an opinion, and this is what they came back with for him, which was fucking great.

I know you’re intelligent enough to know that that wasn’t what was being discussed. You just wanted to whine about something in the future because it’s a passion of yours.
Nothing Georgia does or does not do against Texas has anything to do with the DL looking and performing in an average manner and struggling to get pressure against Bama last night or for most of this season.
To further mock the disingenuous position you were trolling with, in fact, a reason to believe the outcome could be different this year is that Georgia’s personnel has fundamentally changed, including behind the starters.
So, not only was your post a bullshit red herring, it’s also readily debunked in and of itself.

I feel like you haven’t watched much CFB this year. Or last year. This Bama team had their pants pulled down and were buttfucked in public against FSU. They were fucking bullied all game in the trenches.
Now Bama is elite? Georgia has how many sacks this year from their DL?
You’re looking at helmets and reacting. Georgia does not have a great defense this year and they’re struggling getting pressure. Bama always looks like this against Georgia. They looked like this against Georgia last year and jumped to #1 in the rankings. They also lost 4 games, badly. That’s on par for that team and that personnel this season.

Penn State’s best data point is a home loss to a lower ranked opponent that they had 9 months in which to prepare. They have the shittiest resume of anyone even close to the top 10. If they aren’t severely punished for being the bitchmade piece of shit molester program that they are, the whole system should be abolished.

The OLB for Virginia jumped the deflected throw earlier in the game and might have taken it to the house if not for the deflection. Then his own stud play later. Might be one to watch.
