DeSean Bishop added 120 speeding yards and two TDs within the first half for the Volunteers (3-0). They led 65-0 at halftime, the biggest level complete in a single half at school historical past. The 71 factors are essentially the most in modern-era faculty historical past.

These two had been initially booked again at UFC 303 till well being points post-weight minimize compelled Ortega to withdraw, which, in flip, arrange a memorable last-minute reserving between Lopes and Dan Ige.

For that purpose, I virtually discover myself leaning into issues like age and sturdiness given the x-factors that quietly loom giant.

Ortega is the extra confirmed product on paper in relation to all the pieces from his expertise to his expertise, however Lopes nonetheless possesses some stylistic edges (that I additional define within the in-depth breakdown I put out for this struggle again in June) that would turn out to be useful for this struggle.

Whether or not Lopes is countering Ortega’s kicks or taxing him with straight photographs down the middle, I believe that the Lobo Health club consultant will be capable to pile on to the present injury that “T-Metropolis” accrued over his profession.

I will keep on with my preliminary forecast for Lopes to provide a stoppage through strikes in Spherical 2.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Jimmy Johnson, who gained three Tremendous Bowls with the Dallas Cowboys throughout the Nineteen Nineties by developing and managing among the best rosters in NFL historical past, was as soon as requested concerning the beginning standing of a participant who was coming back from damage. A media sort made the suggestion (assumption, really) that cited an age-old adage {that a} participant couldn’t lose his job due to damage. 
 
“The place does it say that?” Johnson shot again. “Whoever mentioned that was in all probability injured.” 
 
Which brings us to Saturday’s Southeastern Convention opener between Florida (1-1, 0-0) and Texas A&M (1-1, 0-0) at Spurrier/Florida Discipline and, extra particularly, the five-alarm storyline for the Gators. 
 
Graham Mertz or DJ Lagway? 
 
[Read senior writer Scott Carter’s comprehensive “Opening Kickoff” preview here]
 
Mertz, the sixth-year senior and 2023 incumbent beginning quarterback, was beneath heart for UF’s season opener two weeks in the past towards No. 19 Miami, an unpleasant 41-17 blowout loss when he accomplished simply 11 of 20 passes for 91 yards and an interception earlier than exiting the sport within the fourth with a concussion. Lagway, the heralded freshman and five-star recruit, went three of six for 31 yards, a choose and a landing drive in mop-up obligation towards the Hurricanes, then assumed the Week 2 beginning spot whereas Mertz was in concussion protocol. 
 
Towards FCS foe Samford, Lagway performed to his five-star 2023 Gatorade Nationwide Participant of the 12 months credentials. He went 18-for-25 for 456 yards (the ninth-highest single-game whole in UF historical past) and three touchdowns in a 45-7 rout of the Bulldogs. 
 
So Gators coach Billy Napier had a choice to make this week. Would he reinstate Mertz for the primary convention sport or journey with Lagway and the electrifying power he zapped into “The Swamp” in his beginning debut? Florida followers, through social media, broadcast airwaves and messages boards, made clear who they needed (The Child), however Napier needed to steadiness what Mertz’s regular hand and on-field administration of the offense has meant for this system the final two seasons towards the spectacular one-game statistics Lagway put up towards a vastly inferior opponent and resolve which QB provides the Gators the very best likelihood to win.
 
Napier already has mentioned each will play (with all indicators level to Mertz getting the beginning name), however which one runs on the market first could have so much to do with the collective early sport temper of the sold-out crowd at “The Swamp.” Then once more, if both (or each) can transfer the soccer, the joint needs to be leaping. 

Whoever is beneath heart, the defensive expertise and resistance put up by A&M, of their first season beneath Mike Elko, shall be far better than what the Gators confronted towards Samford, however in all probability not within the class of the Hurricanes. UM, with its ferocious entrance and all-around velocity, held UF to only 261 yards of whole offense. The identical day the Hurricanes have been steam-rolling the Gators, the Aggies have been overwhelmed 23-13 at house by then-No. 6 Notre Dame and have been gashed by the Preventing Irish for 198 dashing yards and 356 whole. 
 
A&M, like UF, rebounded towards an inferior foe final week, smashing McNeese State 52-10 and cranking out 529 yards of whole offense and 29 first downs. Sophomore quarterback Connor Weigman, after going simply 12 of 30 with two interceptions and no TDs towards Notre Dame, was 11 of 14 for 120 and two scores and not using a turnover. The Aggies did the majority of their offensive injury by dashing 38 occasions for 338 yards and 5 scores. 
 
On paper, the 2 groups would seem like fairly evenly matched (particularly when weighing ND’s loss final week to Northern Illinois) and given the Aggies have misplaced 10 straight true street video games. It could come to right down to which quarterback performs higher. 
 
And which UF quarterback performs. 
 
Protection begins at 3:30 p.m. on ABC, with the crew of Joe Tessitore on play-by-play, former UF quarterback Jesse Palmer offering evaluation and Katie George on the sidelines. The Gators Sports activities Community from Learfield broadcast will air with pregame protection starting at 12:30 p.m. and ultimately give technique to Sean Kelly, Shane Matthews and Tate Casey from the sector on the decision. For GSN stations, click on right here. A nationwide ESPN broadcast with Marc Kestecher and Kelly Stouffer is on the dial, as properly. 
 
The sport shall be re-aired Tuesday at midday and once more Wednesday at 1 a.m. on the SEC Community.
 
Lastly, comply with senior author Scott Carter (@GatorsScott) for commentary and evaluation all through the sport. FloridaGators.com could have full post-game protection from the sport late Saturday evening and follow-up content material Sunday, additionally.

The No. 24 Boston Faculty Eagles soccer group suffered its first lack of the season to the No. 6 Missouri Tigers 27-21 on Saturday afternoon.

After the sport, Eagles head coach Invoice O’Brien spoke about his ideas on the loss.

Under is a transcript of what O’Brien stated.

Q: Coach, within the late second quarter and third quarter, you guys appear to be scuffling with some tackling. Are you able to guys simply discuss that situation and the way that should get corrected?

O’BRIEN: Yeah, I feel at instances we tackled effectively, however you are proper. I imply, we did, we did battle tackling at that time within the recreation. We gave up too many yards speeding, turned the ball over an excessive amount of. How will we appropriate it? We return to work. We return to follow. We’re by no means going to simply accept dropping at Boston Faculty however these guys fought onerous, very pleased with these guys. We bought to educate higher. I feel all of us have to provide a collective effort. Get again tomorrow, we go proper again to work. That is what soccer is.

Q: What does this recreation say about the place you are at and the place you need to be? How far are you as much as get to the place you need to go?

O’BRIEN: Yeah, that is query. Trevor, I do not know. I in all probability have to look at the movie to actually reply that for you in all probability after I see you this week, however I used to be very pleased with these guys to come back on the street within the SEC. We’re by no means going to simply accept dropping. It is not an ethical victory. That is not what I am saying. I need to be actual clear about that however even with the adversity that we handled, we turned the ball over, we had hassle stopping the run on the finish, we have been within the recreation. If we cease them on that final that second to final third down bought shot to get the ball again, you by no means know what is going on to occur. So ought to’ve, might’ve, would’ve, little question about it, however I feel we bought quite a bit to construct on right here and I am actually pleased with these guys and I am trying ahead to getting again to work tomorrow.

Q: Coach, starting of the sport you begin extremely quick, no less than on the scoreboard. You get out, get out to that fast lead. It clearly goes away, however then to come back again. For you in that recreation circulation, what does that type of communicate to the group as effectively, simply that you simply have been capable of get out to that fast begin towards opponent, whether or not, realizing they have been ultimately going to, you realize, have their talents?

O’BRIEN: Yeah, I used to be pleased to see that. I feel the massive factor once more is, like, particularly, actually either side of the ball, however sustaining, like placing drives collectively. Too many three and outs, too many yards on the bottom, operating the ball for Missouri. That is not us, BC. We have been stopping the run fairly effectively that we bought to get again to stopping the run. They did an amazing job with their stretch and minimize scheme and individuals are going to see that, and we have gotta be able to do a greater job towards that. However like I stated, I am very pleased with the best way the fellows fought, and searching ahead to type of getting again after it tomorrow.

Q: You talked about third down, you guys have been 4-for-11, they have been 11-for-19. I do know you gotta watch the movie, however something particularly you noticed?

O’BRIEN: Yeah, positively a distinction within the recreation or one of many variations within the recreation was their potential to transform. That they had much more third and shorts than we did. We had a number of third longs and that is not a recipe for fulfillment, particularly towards group. So we have got to remain on schedule higher offensively after which defensively, we’ve bought to do a greater job on first and second down. That they had too many Third-and-2’s, Third-and-3’s and that is probably not recipe for fulfillment. In order that they positively gained the third down battle, little question, them credit score.

Q: Coach, looks like your go rush was capable of get you out of some conditions the place Mizzou might have actually pulled away there. Simply discuss how these guys carried out tonight and what you preferred from them?

O’BRIEN: Yeah, I feel the protection was on the sphere fairly a bit, and I give them credit score. I feel, like I’ve stated all alongside, I feel Fitzy did an amazing job with this group. These guys are in form. It was scorching on the market. We rolled a number of guys in there however they have been on the market a very long time and to proceed to attempt to put warmth on the quarterback, which they did fairly persistently was was good, it was good. It was simply actually, to me, it was not, an incapability to cease the run. I feel if we are able to do a greater job of stopping the run that is going to result in extra success for us sooner or later.

Q: You guys established that early 14-3 lead after which they took a 55-yard discipline purpose to enter the half up 17-14. I simply need to hear about type of your message to the group at halftime. What the main focus was after going into the second half after which secondly, are you able to simply take me by means of that damaged play that resulted within the 67 yard landing from Castellanos to Reed? I simply need to hear type of your account of that.

O’BRIEN: Yeah, halftime. I simply stated, look, it is going to come right down to the group that executes the very best. It was a detailed recreation. It was an amazing Division I, it was an amazing recreation. I felt prefer it was, undecided what the followers thought, however I felt prefer it was a very good soccer recreation. And I assumed these sort of video games come right down to who executes the very best, they usually executed higher than we did. And provides them a number of credit score, they bought soccer group. On the 67 yard deal, it was type of a quick break sort play, stand up, get set. I feel they, they type of shifted their entrance, Drew, snapped it just a little bit early, not Drew’s fault was type of the best way they shifted their entrance and the ball was rolling round, and Tommy improvised. Made a very good play. That was the play, although. And, it was a heck of a play.

Q: What’s your message to Tommy after this one?

O’BRIEN: I have not talked to him but, however I talked to him quite a bit throughout the recreation. He is, he is performed so many good issues for us and all of us want we might have performs again. We want all of us might have performs again, coaches and gamers alike. So we will work very, very onerous to get him again on observe. He’ll work very onerous. He is a really, superb participant. We’re fortunate to have Tommy. We’re within the recreation due to Tommy and people a number of the performs that he made and he is aware of that he is bought to execute higher, make higher selections, extra constant selections, and he’ll do this.

Q: So that you guys have run the ball rather well, the primary two video games however this recreation that wasn’t the case. Are you able to discuss me by means of what you felt was not going effectively on the run? What Missouri did to cease it?

O’BRIEN: Bought entrance. Bought entrance, we bought offensive line. I’d say that we battled, we bought behind. We needed to throw the ball just a little bit extra however give Missouri credit score, they did job up entrance. They tackled, effectively, they bought group. I imply, if Missouri’s quantity six within the nation, they’re there for a purpose. They bought soccer group and we simply weren’t capable of set up a constant operating recreation, and that is bought to enhance transferring ahead.

Q: Coach, you simply talked about the stretch and minimize, I feel is what it was known as, you talked about about Missouri. Simply as a clarifying query, might you simply clarify what that’s, only for these of us that do not know or communicate the language.

O’BRIEN: Yeah, no downside. They run an amazing, they’ve an amazing operating scheme, type of just like the outdated Denver Broncos, the place they run the skin zone to the tight finish aspect, to the break up finish aspect, and the backs do an amazing job of urgent a number of scrimmage. The offensive line may be very athletic. The tight ends do job, they usually minimize the bottom and so the again presses it. If he retains the entrance aspect, he retains the entrance aspect, in any other case he is bought planes to chop it bottom and we struggled to cease that play. We labored very onerous on it this week, we did a number of various things to attempt to cease it. However it was a troublesome play to cease and we have got to do a greater job of that transferring ahead. I feel our guys fought onerous, I feel, you realize, we’ll all work collectively to enhance that.
