Florida, coming into the week, Joe, they were favored going into the game, and a lot of people questioned why in the world would they be favored.

Now, you and I talked about we weren't really, at least I wasn't really shocked that they were favored.

I just didn't know if I was going to go against Trinidad Chambliss in this game because of all the magic that he had produced.

But, Joe, I go back to week one after watching Florida and you and I having the conversation that we did about Florida.

And Florida absolutely dogs Ole Miss as they have 302 rushing yards on the backs of Duke Clark and Jane Ball, who very well may be the frontrunner now in the Heisman Trophy race.

Yeah, I'm going to save my thoughts on Ole Miss for a little bit later on in this conversation because I think it's a whole separate convo for their failure to take advantage of the opportunity at hand, which is building some momentum after an incredible win last week to start marching towards potentially winning the SEC.

This obviously sets them back, losing to Florida the way that they did and getting trounced the way that they did.

But my biggest thing with Florida is that The way that they're humming on offense is as legit as it gets.

And I don't think that anybody should try to move the goalposts or try to reframe the performance that they had yesterday.

Because what they're doing right now is something that usually takes multiple years of developing a program.

A lot of the guys that were recruited by Billy Napier stuck around, hence why he has such a loaded roster with all these big name players.

But the ability for them to out-physical their opponents, back-to-back SEC games, to maul on both sides of the ball.

The first pair of Florida Rushers to have 100 yards in a game since Montrell Johnson and Trevor Etienne.

I'm obsessed with the play design that Buster Faulkner has, and it's kind of crazy knowing the success that he produced last year at Georgia Tech, and now he's got insane athletes to work with.

He's got a 6'2", 230-pound running back that's just barreling through everyone and running past everybody currently.

This team is only going to get better, and they're deep at their most critical position, which is running back, which makes them even more dangerous.
