Florida “flunked” at Alabama---I think BEATING LSU “is

a MUST”… if the Gators ARE TO BE legit contenders in the SEC---

back-to-back losses would be devastating... LSU is a “difficult

challenge”... “Defensive stats” of the Tigers ARE SUPERIOR to “mighty

Alabama”---No. 1 "Overall D" in the SEC---No. 1 against the RUN---No. 1 in

SACKS… Quarterback is “a shaky position” for LSU---but tailback

Steven Ridley is a GEM---rushing for more yards than "anybody from

Alabama"... It's "A NECESSITY" that Florida’s DEFENSE be IMPOSING...

"Gator NEEDS" on “offense” are obvious---Mike Pouncey is STILL the

center---will his “shotgun snaps” STABILIZE?... Florida’s offensive line

MUST play better--and tougher… we're talking HUGE FACTORS if John

Brantley is to become a “first-rate quarterback”…

... It'll be a FIESTY evening” in Gainesville---ALSO in MIAMI… the

Hurricanes play Florida State… Winner becomes “ACC favorite”… Randy

Shannon and Jimbo Fisher are "an INTRIGUING new coaching rivalry"…

the “saucy history” of FSU-Miami sends A MESSAGE---“Win this one and

it’s a TRIPLE SMASHAROO---in the POLLS---in “recruiting”---and, in “public

support” for two schools that “must WORK at filling their stadiums”…

From OUR STATE, in the SAME PRIME-TIME Saturday TV HOURS---TWO significant

football dramas… if your team wins, it's ENORMOUS... if it's a LOSS, the

season "gets A BIT UNCOMFORTABLE... I’m Hubert Mizell and that’s what I

think.
