Going into the year a lot of people had this game circled on the calendar as the most important of the year. The idea being there was a good chance we lose to Ohio State and or Georgia on the road, while beating OU and aggy bc they weren’t supposed to be all that good, so this game was going to be the pivot point on if we made the playoffs or not. 
Lots of talk about Florida being good. Oh Noe’s Lagaway is a player- home field and him might be worth a 40 point swing or whatever it was from last year. 
I was not worried about them all that much. I think they sort of suck and sun belt Billy couldn’t coach his way out of a paper bag. So, I got that part right. 
I also thought our team was going to be awesome. We’ve seen exactly one data point of us looking awesome, against Sam Houston. Defense has been really good to amazing all year. Running backs are meh. The offensive line sort of sucks it looks like, but that probably shouldn’t be a thing that derails a season if Arch can hit pretty simple concepts and not look like a spastic scrub.  So far, he’s been basically the anti Quinn- really strong in the pocket, good awareness, able to run, fine on the deep ball, but… pretty shitty at everything else. Which is weird because he played 2.5 games last year and was really really good. 
I thought he started off slow last week (even his completions I didn’t think were in the right place) but by the end of the game he was rolling and dropping dimes and looking like the guy I think we all thought he would be. 
If early season games were the yips, he’s worked through them, and what we saw in Q2 and Q3 against Sam are what he’s going to be thankful for the ceiling of this team definitely goes back to national title. What we’ve seen, that I didn’t expect, was a pretty grim floor from the offense. 
looking forward to being in Gainesville for the game- who all is going?  (Buy tailgate tickets here)

Hook Em high like an eagle soars. Even with OU next week I don’t think there’s any way this team isn’t completely and totally full of focusness for the gators.

I think as long as Arch has his head on straight, this should be a fairly sound, if at time ugly, Texas win.  I don't see the Florida offense doing much at all if they aren't gifted great field position via turnover or dumbass special teams stuff.  I'm not sure whether or not Shipley is worth a shit as a kicker yet, so maybe we get some data points (one way or the other) in this game.  I'm thinking this will end up somewhere around 24-13 Texas at the end of the game.  Survive and advance to the next one.  With the possible exception of Miami, no one looks truly dominant thus far this year.

If Lagway plays, which I don't think he will, We'll force a few INTs. He's a turnover machine. 

Why don't you think he'll play?

Fanduel and Draftkings have Texas -7.5 this morning, and a couple of other sites have -6.5

Didn't he fracture his toe or something?

He's been practicing after spending last Sunday and Monday in a precautionary boot

As long as this defense stays focused and doesn't make the assumption that early-season Lagway is going to show up as opposed to last year's late-season Lagway, we should be fine. Yet, at this point, we have no idea which version of Arch is going to show up, which doesn't allow me as a fan to relax and just look forward to dealing with the OU defense.

It's the #128 scoring offense against the #3 scoring defense.

Florida hasn't come close to 100 yards rushing against the last two ranked opponents, and Texas allows 59 a game.

This is one of about 5 games left on the schedule where a B- Arch performance should still be a two score win.

If we get lagway arch.  Pucker the ass.  If we get the cool hand arch. It’s on 

Nah even lagway Arch this defense and team is better overall.  Would be close but like UTEP close.

He could be San Utep or Ohio St arch and they should win easily.

if arch hits most of his passes to open receivers and a respectable number of deep passes while protecting the ball, this is an easy double digit win.  and so is every remaining game on the schedule except maybe georgia.

If nothing else, our denfese will win us this game. Also, let's calm down on the "aggy is good" talk. They beat a shitty Auburn by 6 points, and a downtrodden ND team that lost to Cristobal of all coaches. A literal moron of a HC. Freeman is a good coach, but they still need to figure out their QB situation and see if Carr is actually any good. They beat up Arkansas of all teams. Our D will drag their sacks and taint over their faces. 

I do think Arch and Co will roll this Florida team. They're fucking abysmal, and Lagway hates keeping the ball for his own team. He's like my ex-wife and money, they hate it and want to just give it away.
