That's taking

away.

That's taking away from football.

So when you have a great basketball program or Hall of Fame coach, it's going to take away from football.

So that's an interesting dynamic.

But we're on a huge tangent back to Georgia.

Georgia is vulnerable, but there's still a team that knows how to win.

No, no, no, no, no.

Mm-hmm.

Uh, I hate to keep bringing the kid up, but Amika Gori just had a brutal day.

Dylan Stewart's elite, and we saw him just manhandle the guy.

Uh, I think is, now PFF, some people, I, I don't know that I put tons of stock in it.

Some put none.

But I think those guys at least sees, know something.

His grade on pass blocking was two, so I mean, [laughs] out of 100.

Yeah.

How do you think this team is going to handle success in a place that historically, as Summerall said this week, hasn't been very friendly for the Gators?

I mean, we'll see, obviously.

I mean, that's a cop-out.

But a couple of things in Florida's favor.

It's not a noon kick, which would be 11 there, and those are tough for even great teams, you know, to be up central time, 11 a.m., ready to roll.

So it's 2.30.

The other thing is supposed to be 72 degrees and sunny.

But what do you kind of make of the defense as a whole to start the season in terms of maybe what the expectations were for the unit? And do you think that they can maybe hit a different ceiling as a group? Or is this maybe what we should maybe expect that the offense is going to win these games for us?

He just says what he's,

he speaks, he speaks his mind.

He's very, he's, you know, unvarnished and just, just straight shooter, man.

And, and we, you know, obviously as a media core love that because you don't get that very often, but you know, fans love that.

I mean, it gets, you know, in a thing you want the fans on your side, man.

I mean, they're going to give you a little more, uh, if things don't go well because they're just going to believe in you.

I think people believe in this staff right now.

Was that Joe Burrow?

How are you feeling about this game?

I think the Gators' skill on offense is, I think, vastly superior, isn't it? Yes.

So...

I mean, I think they're going to outscore him.

But Auburn's defense looks very good.

The linebackers are excellent.

And DJ Durkin, we know he's good.

I don't know if I've been this excited about a Florida football game in a long time.

But just what did he say going into his first game as the Gator head coach?

I mean, he said he's going to be amped.

But he did say, I don't get nervous.

Maybe if a rattlesnake's over here, I'd be nervous.

But he meant more like chewing his fingernails and being anxious, I think.

I think he's going to definitely have like, you know, it's going to be like an out-of-body experience for him, right? You felt that before, I'm sure, as an athlete.

And you almost don't feel like you're in your body.

So we'll see.

Tell us what that was all about.

Yeah, I wrote an article about, well, it's Scott's 10th full football season.

And I just thought that's kind of a clean, you know, 10 years.

And it'll be 10 years officially, November 1st, that he's been the AD after replacing Jeremy Foley.

And Scott, you know, he doesn't want to be in the spotlight.

And I totally get it.

But we have a good relationship.

run game's pretty good.

Beyond that, what's the thing you're gonna be most curious about once you start to get some access and the interviews start to flow when they're actually on the field for real here?

here?I mean, the big question with this program, and people are getting tired of it, is the offensive line.

It doesn't have the experience of last year's unit that was very up and down and had some, had some rough games.

I mean, Miami and A&M beat them up front pretty badly, and there were other games.

But the offensive line needs to come together because they have tremendous depth at running back, headlined by arguably the best tailback in the league in Jayden Ball.

They have excellent receivers, but you're gonna have to have a quarterback getting some time to get it to the playmakers.

And Buster Faulkner's scheme, um, you know, the Georgia Tech offensive coordinators come in, uh, people are excited about and, and they think it's gonna be, you know, we're gonna get back to maybe some Dan Mullen offensive play calling again and-- but you gotta have a line to be able to do that.

It seems like Sumrall, at least, is as committed as somebody can be to trying to get that kind of thing fixed.

And I think people like that.

Yeah, I just that authenticity, which is what people do like about Coach Summerall.

I don't really understand why to be any other way.

I'm certainly, at least I attempt to do that.

I don't think I sugarcoat it.

And when we get into Sumrall, we'll talk about that a little bit.

Elko, I think, is extremely impressive.

I do think we're going to throw the football more than people think.

Okay.

And he's 6'9".

I mean, that's like a, you know, stretch four, matchup nightmare.

And Houck can shoot.

Houck's, Houck's shooting was, you know, did, came down a bunch right at the end of the season.

He was shooting, like, 35%.

He was shooting high 30s during that real good stretch of eight weeks or whatever to close the season.

Uh, AMac on YouTube brought to you by Q- Quality Plumbing wants to know what is your overall thoughts on the US Open and Wyndham Clark's treatment by fans?

I don't know why it can't happen faster, but were you immediate guys surprised at the cost? Because it's going to be the most expensive stadium we've ever seen.

Yeah, it's like I wrote, there's going to be sticker shock for everyone.

And he expects that, Scott.

And but he also just feels like this is an investment they have to make.

And what he calls the Florida football's greatest asset.

And really, and he made the point.

If you think about it, there are two Death Valleys, obviously LSU Clemson.

William on the Titanomar text line wants to know, Edgar, are you a World Cup fan and will you be watching?
