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.

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

If you get the bad Florida it's deer in headlights.
