Re: [gatortalk] Debate: Who has advantage with TAM now opening vs Fla?

Well, its not like they haven't been beaten there regularly by Big 12 teams.  

They are former Big 12!  They can't compare that to SEC level of play and defense.  The Big 12 doesn't play defense... TAM is in for a culture shock.  I don't expect TAM or Mizzou to make much noise in the SEC for a couple of years at least.  They might be the 4th, probably 5th best team in the east, and could end up the 6th.  Not worried.  They should be.

As far as rough places to play, most of this team has played at LSU & Alabama. Is TX A&M's home atmosphere any tougher than those 2?

Go Gators!!

So... Texas A&M, because of hurricane Isaac, will now open vs Fla a week from this Saturday.

 

Most seem to think this favors Florida.

 

Me? Im not so sure.  Time to debate!  Who has advantage in this game?

 

Florida will have atleast one game with this staff, personnel, etc to work out kinks, etc.

TAM will have had no game time experience with this staff, personnel (including a new starter at QB).

-- Advantage - UF

 

TAM has less of a chance of significant injury due to no game.

FLA has a greater chance of significant injury due to playing a game.

-- Advantage - TAM - however.. injury is part of the game and cant be an excuse... but it could be a factor.

 

TAM will have 14 games of tape to review with current staff, personnel and (somewhat same) scheme and more time to prepare for Florida due to no game first week.

FLA will not have any game tape of this staff with this personnel and scheme to review and less time to prepare.

-- Advantage TAM

 

Giving the slight edge to TAM here... home field advantage in what will be a raucous atmosphere with plenty of time to prepare.  They'll have fresh legs and the whole deal.... Im really worried.
