Methinks all the crowing about Florida stopping the bammer run game might  be a bit overblown.  That doesn't mean I'm predicting we run for 200 yards (unless one of our QBs busts a couple long runs, which would be great), but it does increase my confidence that regardless of outcome we can score some points on Florida, which at least would make me feel better about the rest of the season.

Another interesting nugget or two...Florida gave up 31 ppg last year, their worst scoring D since 1917 and their passing defense was 99th in the country.   

Bottom line...I definitely expect us to move the ball on them and score some points. I think the Florida D success against bammer was greatly aided by a stupid decision to leave Robinson in the game.  He likely sits this week to recover.

Thus if our offense disappoints, it's not, IMO, going to be because the gator D is that great.  They are I'm sure much better than Pittsburgh but my expectation is that we expose them a bit.
