A RECORD that will be broken this week

[want2be]

1) Florida is the only BCS team that has not allowed a play to gain over 30 yds so far this season.d

We will bust this one on the first possession. See you Saturday Ego Urban.......One other thing, if Urban lets Tebow run the ball,.......... it is open season for QB's.
Nothing dirty, just clean clock cleaning.

I agree.  First possession--40 yd pass to Greg Childs!!

Maybe not the first possession but I don't think their secondary has had to cover as many receiver routes as CBP can throw at them. The key will be whether the offensive line can give our QB enough time to pickup those 2nd and 3rd options and break one.

Ill go out on a limb and say we break it on the first play from scrimmage just to prove a point.  Even if we play terribly the rest of the game, the team will have the motivation to at least accomplish this feat.

Has florida even played a pass heavy team?

who would ever thought this would discribe us

No

[HogFansReunited]

Wouldn't surprise me at all if the first play is either a a play action pass down the sidelines for 40-50 yards or a draw play.

Not this season.  They did play Oklahoma, which was a balanced high octane offense last season.

That's not a record, that's a stat.

[Porkys Revenge]

Remember in '96 when Florida lit us up and Spurrier was dogging on us asking if we had ever seen a forward pass? I've waited a loooong time for this. Fyi, Florida has never had an undefeated season. Go hogs!

True. Right now it is a stat but if they keep that up for the entire season it will be a record. Here's to breaking that stat this week so no records are formed.

I think we are forgetting that they returned ALL 11 starters to their defensive squad. While we do have a dynamic passing offense, I don't think our personnel match up all that well with the FL defenders. I hope I'm wrong, but on the surface your prediction seems unlikely.

I know this has been said about many of our opponents this year but seriously, Florida has played no one!  No one of our caliber anyway.  We may not win but I can guarantee we put some points on the board!  This offense is rolling now and it will be Florida, not Arkansas, that has to keep up.  If our D can give us some stops, not allow the BIG play, the O-Line can protect Mallett, we win!  Hands down..........

The enthusiasm on this board is awesome. 
I think Florida's offense will be up to the challenge.  Like I mentioned in an earlier thread, coaches plan on opening up the playbook this week.  Should make for an interesting matchup with a defense that seemed to find itself last week against Auburn.
Our defense knows this is the best offense it's faced so far.  I think Charlie will be in their ears all week long.  Like I said before, should be a fun matchup.

I definately hope that we see one over 30 yards.

That's something I haven't heard mentioned about this board in a loooooong time.

Not just the staring 11 but all 22 of the first and second string.....I can not remember that ever happening with any team.....The only exception
is they have one true freshman starting at cornerback......Petrino is expose just how good a freshman he is.

M. Smith longest run this year is under 30, Wingo has broken one, so I don't think we will get it with a run, but...........

Look for Mallett to find Childs and or Wright for more than 30 yards on more than one occasion.
