Offensive talk and SEC previews: Florida Gators football podcast

August 26, 2016

Gator Country brings you a new Florida Gators football podcast as we talk about the offensive weapons the Gators have and the ways they can playmakers on the field.

Andrew Spivey and Nick de la Torre also have a new edition of the buy/sell segment where we discuss some of this week's key topics from press conferences.

Andrew and Nick also talk recruiting updates, plus give you SEC predictions for this year on both the east and west divisions.

TRANSCRIPT:

Andrew:                 What’s up, Gator Country? Once again, your man, Andrew Spivey, here, and you guys are listening to us on the last Friday before it’s football season. Next Friday when you guys are listening to it there will already be an SEC game down. So, Nicholas, it is home stretch. The Gators officially started game week prep on Thursday and are back at what I call the football complex, over there at the football practice field. Things are getting real, and the season’s getting very near.

Nick:                         The next time you hear this on a Friday Billy Muschamp will have another conference loss as a head coach in the SEC. Vanderbilt is going to take down South Carolina in the Thursday opener.

Andrew:                 Yes. It is not going to be pretty. I had to do a radio show, Nick, the other day, and it’s kind of funny, because the guy was in Arkansas, and he goes, “I got to ask you a question.” I said, “Okay,” and he said, “Did you laugh, and did the Florida fan base laugh, when Will Muschamp got a job?” He said, “I’m not sure, honestly, how he got a job, and I don’t even care about the guy.” That’s kind of how Will Muschamp is viewed right now.

Nick:                         I think most of the fan base just laughed. That’s going to be a train wreck. Will Muschamp at South Carolina is going to be an absolute train wreck.

Andrew:                 Right. The guy had a good point. He said, “You couldn’t win at Florida with all the talent there. What makes you think you’re going to win at South Carolina with…” Yeah.

Nick:                         You’re not. Florida, the University of Florida is one of the easiest places to win in the country, when you consider recruiting, resources, everything included. The University of Florida is up there as one of the easiest places to win football games in the country. South Carolina is one of the most difficult. Jadeveon Clowney and Marcus Lattimore aren’t coming out of that state every year. Will Muschamp is not going to be the head coach at South Carolina very long.

Andrew:                 And with the recent success of Clemson, I mean.

Nick:                         God. If Muschamp couldn’t get kids to stay in the state of Florida, they were going to Clemson from Florida when he was recruiting them to Florida. Now he’s going into some kid into their living room and saying, “Come to South Carolina. Don’t go to Clemson.” Yeah, okay, Coach.

Andrew:                 Yeah. That’s the thing. It’s even harder to win now at South Carolina than it was maybe five years ago when Dabo just got there and things were, I don’t want to say bad, but they definitely weren’t very good at Clemson. It’s definitely tougher. We’ll talk about that in a few minutes. We’ll kind of talk season, SEC season, maybe get some sleeper picks and that kind of stuff. We’ll also do a little buy and sell segment. Nick, you guys are listening to this on Friday; we’re taping it on Thursday. Muschamp spoke on Thursday again. There’s a couple of news that came out. I guess they’re not really news, but it is news, and that is that today, still, on Thursday there’s no resolution in the Antonio Callaway thing. I’m starting to really wonder if I wasn’t correct when I said he wouldn’t play for Ga
