The CheckerBoard

Part of me is excited about this but I really just want to beat FL straight up. This gives them excuses all year if we do win.

Gillislee is a big blow to them. I realize they said he'd play, but if he's at 80% or 90%, that's a huge benefit to the Vols.

I'd rather us win and have to listen to excuses than lose and have to live with an "8".

Not saying they have to be banged up for us to win, but I just want the W and injuries are part of football. There isn't an asterisk next to our loss last year just because Hunter went down. It was just a loss. And this could just be a win.

Just win, baby!

A. I wish we were playing them at full strength just like I wish we were at full strength.
B. Once the game is over, nobody cares about who played, all that counts is who won. They didn't feel bad about winning last year when Hunter went down, I won't feed bad this year about winning regardless of who plays for UF.

Good post UTBdub. FL's loss of Riggs will really hurt their secondary if Safety Josh Evan’s right shoulder injury—suffered during the TX A&M game—has not healed by Saturday.

Riggs was our 4th string Corner.. Behind Roberson,Watkins and Purifoy not too mention Jeremy Brown returned last week so he wil be our 4th Corner this week. And you failed to mention Pop Saunders coming back this week, started last year at FS for several games as a True Freshman. He will be a huge addition to our Secondary. And Josh Evans is fine, will practice today

I think you misunderstood my post 87gator4life. My statement was ENTIRELY based on Josh Evan's injury. If you take the inverse of my statement you will see that my post implies that FL secondary won't be hurt by Rigg's injury if Josh Evans is healthy.

Jelani Jenkins is a big-time player for us, starts at outside LB. Riggs loss wont hurt us at all
