I just stumbled on this, apparently from a couple years ago. I have mixed feelings since I still miss the old F. ![](http://i.imgur.com/cCqt2pL.png) One would think that face mask would be distracting to the player. I think we've had the UF and the F before, but after so many years using the Gators script, it would be tough for me to change what has become so recognized, accepted, and marketable nationwide.

I think we've had the UF and the F before, but after so many years using the Gators script, it would be tough for me to change what has become so recognized, accepted, and marketable nationwide. The script is a nice design but I don't ever recall a "UF" on the helmets. The "F" definitely but not UF.

so what do you really think, ET... Do the GATORS compete this year in the toughest, strongest, conference or not..?.. Rox, this post is the crux of my "troll" comments towards you. Terry has posted his prediction for this season at least a dozen times, both here and on the main board. For you not to know his thoughts by now reiterates my point. And please note, I am not attempting to get you stirred up again, it is just an observation. I have said many, many times... you used to talk a lot of football, especially on the AOL boards, and it was good. I just don't know why you don't anymore. That's all.

so what do you really think, ET... Do the GATORS compete this year in the toughest, strongest, conference or not..?.. My over/under is at 7-5. UF is a year away from competing for the SEC. Defense and special teams will do fine, but Mac just doesn't have the offensive playmakers at WR or experience on the OL and at QB to compete at the top of the SEC. If UF is competing for the SEC East, it will be because the East sucks again, not that the Gators are true conference championship contenders. The good news is 2016 starts the process of getting back to the Gators norm of the last 35 years. Dang, ET... you make it sound kinda bleak but I'll take a 7-5 as compared to how bad they were last year. I guess an 8-4 means their ahead of schedule... bottom line is you just never really know how this group will perform on the field. They could very well turn out to be world beaters... ok...ok...lol... maybe a little dreamin' on my part...but we'll see.. one game at a time.. bring it on, NMS.. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

The month of October could be brutal if the Gators experience injuries or don't grow from game to game as a team.

GatorBait Camp Report: Stock Up, Stock Down Thomas Goldkamp
Through about a third of Florida's fall practices before the season begins, GatorBait.net stops to hand out a handful of Stock Up and Stock Down designations to players based on their performances so far in camp. We also include a section with Hat Tips for Freshmen.
Stock Up
QB Will Grier: Grier has taken the small lead he had coming out of spring practice and widened the gap considerably. At this point, it'd be very surprising if he wasn't the starter on opening day. He has the ideal size and arm for the position and has been the most accurate quarterback making the most plays consistently throughout fall camp.
QB Josh Grady: After barely playing at Vanderbilt, Grady was thought of as a complete emergency backup by most outside the program heading into fall camp. Now, he actually looks like a competent third-string option, maybe one even capable of moving up to the backup role. He has thrown the ball well and has a good command of the offense.
RB Kelvin Taylor: With Florida relatively thin on numbers at running back, Taylor has made sure the Gators haven't had to worry about quality as well. He looks a step quicker this fall and is really running with a purpose. Add in a jump in pass protection and he's starting to look the part of a top-end starting SEC running back.
WR Brandon Powell: The running back turned receiver has made some of the more impressive catches in fall camp, showing pretty consistent hands for a smaller target. He will be heavily, heavily involved in the Florida offense this fall, and so far in camp he has made that look like an excellent approach.
WR C.J. Worton: Before suffering a leg injury that will likely keep him out a few weeks, Worton was really coming along as a possible No. 3 receiver behind Demarcus Robinson and Powell. He catches everything and isn't afraid to go get the ball in traffic, something coach Jim McElwain has said he needs to see more of from his receivers.
TE Jake McGee: If there were any questions about how McGee would return from his broken leg, they have been answered. McGee actually looks even more fluid than he did in fall camp last year. He's getting more consistent separation from Florida's very good secondary, and he's turning into a matchup problem ... something the Gators desperately need.
LT Mason Halter: The two-time FCS All-American transfer from Fordham hasn't at all looked overwhelm by the jump in competition level. He has done an excellent job holding down the left side of the line, and he's even versatile enough to play guard. His addition was a huge boost to the Florida offensive line.
LG Trip Thurman: A shoulder injury that looked iffy hasn't caused Thurman any problems yet. The veteran has anchored the left guard spot and looked good doing it, with the left side of the line definitely Florida's strength at the moment. He also has the versatility to play multiple positions on the line, including center.
DE Jonathan Bullard: The senior looks better than ever, getting more pressure from defensive end than we've seen him produce to date and also showing the versatility to slide inside and play well. Bullard has been a leader with his play on the field, and he's also taken a more vocal approach to that leadership role as well.
DT Caleb Brantley: A redshirt sophomore, Brantley has always had the physical tools to be a potential NFL first-rounder on the inside. Now he's finally coupled the consistency and work ethic to match. He's been a nightmare for Florida's offensive line inside.
LB Daniel McMillian: Another player that seems to have really benefited from a coaching change, McMillian is playing far faster than he has at any point in his first two years. Randy Shannon has worked wonders with the excellent athlete, and McMillian is flying around making plays now.
S Marcus Maye: Not a fan favorite after being played out of position at nickelback for a good chunk of the 2014 season, Maye has done a total 180 since being put at safety permanently. He has taken on a vocal leadership role and has made a ton of outstanding plays, both against the run and in coverage.
Stock Down
QB Treon Harris: The sophomore had a rough start to fall camp a year ago and then really turned things around in the final two weeks, so it's too early to write his entire camp off as a disappointment. But it has certainly gotten off to a rocky start. Harris' accuracy has been pretty erratic, and worse, he's throwing a lot of interceptions. He hasn't really pushed Grier for the job at all to this point.
WR Ryan Sousa: The redshirt freshman has had a ton of drops in all parts of practice, and if you can't hang onto the ball at receiver, you're not going to play. Sousa still has plenty of time to get it right at Florida, but things haven't gone well for him yet this fall.
TE Moral Stephens: Though Stephens slimmed down a little in the offseason, he still doesn't move around very well. Worse, his hands have been a big question mark. The good news is Florida is loaded at the position, and like Sousa, he's only a redshirt freshman. So he's got time to figure things out, but he's got a long way to go still.
LB Matt Rolin: The redshirt sophomore linebacker is still trying to get fully healthy after spending the last two years recovering from a torn ACL. He still hasn't quite figured it out, and McElwain is starting to sound a bit frustrated that he keeps going in and out of practice with various bumps and bruises.
Hat Tips to Freshmen
RB Jordan Cronkrite: While fellow freshman Jordan Scarlett drew more attention heading into camp, Cronkrite might actually be outplaying him. He's still got to improve in pass protection, but he offers a great option catching the ball out of the backfield and he's physically ready to play in the SEC.
WR Antonio Callaway: Callaway is still somewhat adjusting to playing with the big boys, but he's shown consistent hands, the ability to make people miss and the size and blocking ability to get on the field early. He hasn't screamed breakout player just yet, but he's been solid, which is more than we can say about most of Florida's receivers the last few years.
TE Camrin Knight: The Gators look to have another rangy, athletic option at the position in Knight. He won't play this year with Florida so deep at tight end, but he offers some promising upside down the road.
LT Martez Ivey: Ivey has come along nicely, and the former five-star freshman could push for a starting role soon if he continues to develop and doesn't hit any sort of a freshman wall. He's got all the tools to be great in college.
RG Nick Buchanan: He may not play in 2015, but Buchanan has at least put himself in the conversation with a good start to fall camp. He's a powerful player who anchors well, he just needs a bit more seasoning at this point.
C Tyler Jordan: After putting in a good offseason of work in the strength and conditioning program, Jordan has looked the part this fall. He still needs work snapping the ball, but he's an absolute sponge in the film room and has really picked things up quickly. He may be in the eight-man rotation on the offensive line this fall.
DE CeCe Jefferson: Some voiced concerns about Jefferson's size after he added some weight prior to arriving at Florida after not playing much football due to a shoulder injury during his senior season. Jefferson has put those concerns to rest. He's ready to play at this level, both from a speed and athleticism standpoint and from a power standpoint.

PHILADELPHIA — Tim Tebow got a warm Philly welcome.
Tebow threw for 69 yards and ran for a touchdown in his first game in two years, Kenjon Barner returned a punt 92 yards for a touchdown and ran for a score and the Philadelphia Eagles beat the Indianapolis Colts 36-10 Sunday.
Tebow got a standing ovation when he entered midway through the third quarter and the crowd roared so loud when his name was introduced he had to quiet them down because he was taking the snap in a shotgun.
"It's very humbling, a blessing. I appreciated it," said Tebow, the former UF standout.
Tebow completed his first four passes and fans chanted "Tebow! Tebow!" during his first series.
He dove into the pylon on a 7-yard TD run late in the fourth quarter and finished with 15 yards rushing on four carries. He completed 6 of 12 passes and was sacked twice.
"I liked how Timmy threw it," Eagles coach Chip Kelly said.
Tebow hadn't played since the 2013 preseason with New England until the Eagles (1-0) signed him to compete with Matt Barkley for the No. 3 spot behind Sam Bradford and Mark Sanchez. Barkley was 12 of 20 for 192 yards and one interception.
"Did some things decent and some things we have to work on," Tebow said. "I have to be more consistent."
Quarterback Andrew Luck was 5 of 6 for 43 yards for the Colts (0-1).

Ricky Town, true freshman who enrolled at USC early, will transfer before the start of the season and will redshirt his first season. UF is thought to be in play so he may take the second slot of the 16 class that Coach Mac has been wanting to fill. The following explains: recruiting.blogs.gatorsports.com/20781/uf-a-potential-landing-spot-for-town/Florida is hoping to land another quarterback for 2016, and a new option has emerged for the Gators. Southern Cal true freshman Ricky Town decided to transfer from the school Sunday. The U.S. Army All-American and Elite 11 finalist was a consensus four-star recruit in the 2015 class. The California product flipped from Alabama to USC after offensive coordinator Doug Nussmeier left the Tide for Michigan. Nussmeier, now at UF, should make the Gators a player for Town. High School Highlights:

Ricky Town seems to want the path of least resistance. If he's looking at UF and ARK, I'm thinking ARK as the piggies have a senior starting QB. UF has several young bucks he'd have to compete with. Time will tell and soon. This from 247 Sports:
"Former USC quarterback Ricky Town could have a new home in less than a week, 247Sports is told by a source close to the situation on Tuesday morning.
Ranked by 247Sports as the nation’s No. 3 pro-style quarterback in the class-of-2015, Town is looking for a pro-style offense to play in when considering his next destination.
Arkansas and Florida are two programs that 247Sports is hearing will be a contender.
Schools Town cannot consider per his release from USC include all of the Pac 12, Alabama, Arkansas State, Idaho, UNLV, Notre Dame, Utah State, Western Michigan, Texas and BYU. All are future opponents of the Trojans.
The 6-foot-3, 206-pound Town was a U.S. Army All-American. The No. 50 recruit in the country regardless of position, he enrolled early at USC and was granted his release on Aug. 17."

All are future opponents of the Trojans. Bullshit transfer restrictions imo. And, of course, no such restrictions are made on coaches.

UF pretty much lets transfers go wherever they want and helps them in the process. Brock Berlin in the early 2000s led the canes on a big comeback win over UF after transferring from UF to UM. Brock couldn't beat out Rex Grossman.

2015 Gators Schedule Poster: pbs.twimg.com/media/CMEUW7hVEAAfHnj.jpgNew Mexico State - Win East Carolina - Win at Kentucky - Win Tennessee - Win Ole Miss - Loss at Missouri - Loss at LSU - Loss Georgia in Jaz - Win Vanderbilt - Win at South Carolina - Loss Florida Atlantic - Win Florida State - Loss You can switch around a few games, but that's 7-5 and where I expect UF to be at the end of the regular season.
