Never estimate Florida. We are somehow both better and worse than what everyone thinks at any moment in time

I believe the industry terminology is “lights on”

All we know is that one and frequently both fan bases are mad after the game is over.

We joke but it all comes down to how the opponents OL plays. We have had 2 very good guys on the defensive front with Woods and Oyebadejo. In this game LJ McCray finally played up to his potential. Texas’ offensive line could not hold up to that onslaught of 3 elite quality defenders coming at the QB and they folded

If LJ slips back into being bad again or if the other teams OL plays well then our bad DBs get exposed. That’s why we have such a massive swing in quality

If LJ keeps playing like this then we can beat anyone in spite of those bad DBs. LJ was supposed to be a first round talent. Woods is a first round talent. Oyebadejo is raw because he has only played football a few years but the skill and progress he has shown will make him a first rounder one day. I ain’t even exaggerating if we’ve watched them play. I’m glad LJ is getting his groove again

Lights out for you. "I'm not trapped in here with you you're trapped in here with me," vibes.

Got it- we'll make sure to turn off our lights again when we play you in Nov.

My Experience is put Gold Tigers on the Helment amd that brings out the worst in them (avoid blue, orange or purple Tigers though)

We will destroy you guys! Or get destroyed! Who knows??

We just embarrassed Texas and Arch at home with a backup qb that couldn’t hit the broadside of a steer in the first half

LJ McCray dropped a horns down MIDSACK of Manning while he was holding him like a baby. Arch got son’ed

Really it’ll come down to how your OL plays. Our DL is very good but DBs very bad. The difference today was LJ McCray finally played to his potential. We have two other guys who could be first rounders in terms of talent so if the former top 5 prospect is playing like we hoped he would when he came here then that’s three very good guys a qb has to account for. The line becomes ultra nasty! We are hoping LJ continues playing up to his potential

If he doesn’t and the opponents OL does well then our DBs are so goddamn bad that we will get destroyed through the air. There is no fixing our DB corp. our only solution is to commit homicide on the QB before he can throw the ball. Manning was just the recipient of this plan finally coming to fruition
