- Greg McElroy was the best player on the field followed by McClain
- Ingram looked very good
- the Gators O-Line looked good, pretty much handled Cody
- Riley has potential as a 3rd WR in the NFL
- Dunlap was sorrily missed by Florida
How did the game finish? I saw three quarters then the recording stopped for some reason. Also, is Ingram entering the draft this year and if he is, where is he projected?
Didn't see the game. But I have some questions:
1. How did Maurkice Pouncey do against Mount Cody? That was one of the most interesting matchups in the game for me. You mention that the "Gators O-Line looked good, pretty much handled Cody" so I assume he did well, but any details would be welcome.
2. How did Joe Haden fare against Julio Jones? That was the other really interesting matchup of the game for me.
From what I gather, McClain further cemented his status as a top 15 pick.
McClain was an animal. Showed fantastic range and diagnostic skills. He's the closest thing to Patrick Willis I've seen since he came out, and would be absolutely terrifying next to Mayo in the 3-4. He's going in the top 10 next year sadly.
The Gators showed a lot of respect to Cody and rarely ran up the middle - they simply tried to bounce just about everything to the outside if they did try to run it, but with them being behind early on, they had to pass more. I thought the Pouncey boys did well from what I could see, but then as I said, it was rare the play went in Cody's direction.
Haden's an elite cornerback waiting to happen, reminded me a lot of Darelle Revis. His coverage on Jones was a thing of beauty. Top 15 pick next April, maybe top 10 if he lights up the Combine.
Say what you want about Dunlap, but the Gators missed him badly last night. They got zero pressure on McElroy, and when he began tearing them apart they started leaving running lanes open. I just don;t think that would have happened had he played.
Was very disappointed by Spikes, he seemed to spend a lot of his time being taken for a ride by one of the 'Bama O-linemen. You're no good in a BB defense if you can't stack and shed.
Ingram's the first RB off the board whether he comes out next year or the year after. And he might well win the Heisman after last night.
Forgot to mention Major Wright - looked good in coverage and was solid in his run D. Physically he looks more than capable of playing Free Safety in the pro's. He could go second round if he runs a mid/low 4.4
Very nice player.
I don't see that happening since he'll probably be returning to Florida next season.
We simply must have McClain.McClain was an animal. Showed fantastic range and diagnostic skills. He's the closest thing to Patrick Willis I've seen since he came out, and would be absolutely terrifying next to Mayo in the 3-4. He's going in the top 10 next year sadly.

I thought he was a senior?
Apologies if not.
