Y'all know I will give honest assessments, so here we go: 1) Florida's defense is on par with 'Bama's, so I suspect we will struggle. HOWEVER, we have significantly improved since the 'Bama game, so I don't think we'll be shutdown. Mallett is getting a lot better at finding his 3rd or 4th option quickly. But y'all are right that he's a pocket passer, and not a scrambler. If he scrambles, he'll look to run some, but mostly will try to set up outside the pocket and throw. He usually makes good decisions regarding throwing it away though.
2) Our top receiver, Joe Adams, had a minor stroke (yes, you read that right) last Monday and didn't play over the weekend. While he's up and about and attending practice as a spectator, it's unlikely he will play this weekend, and possible not at all the rest of the year. Not something where you want to bounce right back onto the football field. 3) Our second leading receiver, Jarius Wright, had a concussion on Saturday, so his status is unknown for Saturday. The hit he took wasn't as nasty as Tebow's, but as always, you don't want to rush back to the field. 4) Our running game is finally starting to come into its own. It took a bit for our O-line, which was primarily recruited for run blocking, to get the balance worked out after working so hard on adjusting to pass block. 5) One of our top weapons right now is Dennis Johnson, our kick returner. He leads the SEC in average and is sixth in the nation. He's something else when he gets a lane. 6) I don't think y'all will run wild on our defense, as they are much improved, but I know we'll struggle against y'all.
