Monday of Florida/Georgia week: Florida Gators podcast

October 24, 2016

Gator Country brings you a new Florida Gators podcast as we get you ready for Florida/Georgia week after the Gators bye week.
Andrew Spivey and Nick de la Torre start to break down this rivalry game in Jacksonville as we talk about the keys for Florida on both offense and defense.

Andrew and Nick break down what they think the Gators defense will try to do, plus we talk some Florida Gators recruiting.

TRANSCRIPT:

Andrew:What’s up, Gator Country? Your man, Andrew Spivey, back with Nicholas de la Torre. It’s not an off week no more. It’s Florida/Georgia week, Nick. If you can’t tell by my voice, I love this week.
Nick:It’s fun. It’s an interesting week. Kind of feels a little different without it being Mark Richt at the helm, just because he was there for so long, but it’s a rivalry week. It’s one where I throw my hands up in the air. I don’t know who’s going to win this game. I’ve said that before. I learned in 2014 when Will Muschamp beat Georgia, I’ll never know what’s going to happen in this game.
Andrew:Do you miss the Mark Richt not being there because of my hatred towards Mark Richt?
Nick:No. It’s just I associate Mark Richt with Georgia.
Andrew:I associate Mark Richt with losing.
Nick:The Canes, well they did lose again.
Andrew:They did. They lost three in a row. The Canes fans went from we’re back to, shit, maybe we should call Al Golden back, because Mark Richt’s the loser we thought he was.
Nick:No one is calling him back. No one’s calling Al Golden.
Andrew:You shouldn’t be calling that. Now, I have to go here, Nick, real quick. We’re going to talk Georgia/Florida in a second, but I got to go up the road some to Rocky Top. Rocky Top was supposed to win a national championship, and a quick peak at the SEC standings show Kentucky is ahead of the Vols. Kentucky is ahead of the Vols. This is great.
Nick:When do they play?
Andrew:Three weeks I believe.
Nick:So we’ll see what happens there.
Andrew:I am going to be pulling for, Nick?
Nick:Kentucky.
Andrew:There you go.
Nick:That wasn’t really a question.
Andrew:Yeah, that wasn’t really a question. Let’s talk real quick about the games this past weekend. Alabama/Texas A&M, I wasn’t surprised. Were you surprised?
Nick:No. They didn’t cover. The line got all the way up to 21.
Andrew:It was 21? When we taped it was 17, and they won by 19. I’ll say this. I was more shocked that A&M scored 14 points, because it looked like for a while they weren’t even going to get a 1st down.
Nick:Alabama’s just a dominant scary team. They’re so deep that they just wear teams down.
Andrew:I think the thing for me with A&M is this, and that is A&M, I was just actually having this conversation with someone, A&M is kind of like the, I guess you could say, the Miami of the SEC, and that is they always get ranked high, because they play kind of nobody at the beginning of the year, and then when they play people it’s just like, here it goes. It’s kind of like Tennessee. They’re the Tennessee of the West, that’s what we’ll say. Their defense is atrocious. I mean Alabama is probably still running up and down the field on those guys.
Nick:That was the big game of the day, but not even probably the biggest news of Saturday. That would be Ohio State losing.
Andrew:Wow. Homeboy was running for his life on the blocked kick. He was just running for his life. That was hilarious. That was awesome. We say that, that was the biggest upset, but the biggest shock of the day for me was that trashing Auburn gave Arkansas.
Nick:Opened up the game with a 78 yard touchdown.
Andrew:56-3.
Nick:Was that borderline erotic for Bielma?
Andrew:For real. That is whoa. I mean, Auburn’s improving, but 56 points? 500 something yards rushing. Whoa. Arkansas, watch out.
Nick:What is the status of Alan, the quarterback? He got hurt in the game.
Andrew:He came back though. I don’t know that there’s been anything, but he came back in the game. Their just, Arkan
