Title: One of the things I will be interested to see in this game
Post by: 10EC on September 14, 2011, 04:00:34 EDT
is how we try combat the Florida pressure.  Screens... throwing to the RB, rolling out.. etc..

I think that depends highly on whether Florida has to blitz to get that pressure. If we can do a serviceable job in protection when they only send 3-5, Muschamp may decide to blitz and open up screens, draws, and misdirection as a response. That should be an interesting aspect of the matchup though.

This will be a key point.  It occurs to me that Poole is a pretty good receiver and that our TEs showed up well in our last game.  I didn't even know who Brandon Downs was prior to Saturday, but he caught 2 passes.  Between Rivera, Downs, and Poole, the TEs/RB caught 11 passes but you can throw in one by Bartholemew for 12. 

Sounds good to me.  Whether we can get them the ball in time or not, we have the horses to catch the kind of balls you're talking about.
