Am Christian and welcome to the scouts so please be joined by Scott Kennedy of scout dot com Scott were right here will how SU football. Now keep open -- every year it seems like the national champions come out of there every year at least for the last 35 maybe more as he grad gloating over here. I would talk in Florida at the top ranked gators opened up as he he played against Tennessee but more that we're joined by Florida beat writer Bob Redmond Bob. Tim Tebow recently dated at -- and pre season comments about Florida head coach Urban Meyer have not affected them. What do you what do you that as motivation for Saturday's game.
I think they'd be used did all preceded him. In the all he did in you know I think this is big game they've been targeting the start basically start there. This year and I think this week it's all been ratcheted up a lot they're. But I come out publicly say it but I think on the track this mile they probably talk players were -- all week long.
Bob last season we had you on a lot and we're talking about the help of Percy -- this year any injuries we need to worry about.
Are the one guy hit. Is a concern right now a little bit is that wide receiver -- and he's playing. He's actually playing Lewis -- people who's not -- this year on put. Not -- pulled up with a hamstring injury in the last game on his touch in his final post number 33 yard touchdown catch. On -- he's been slow to recover actually pretty fast to recover very hamstring injury and defensive tackle they're getting Lawrence marsh who hadn't played at all this year and that's a big get. And pretty much everybody else on the team that was going to play significant time it kielty put the game so overall it's pretty healthy group.
Bob how are things gonna go in the -- will be Dickey for the volunteers.
I think. Florida will do well. Basically what people want you on defense and doctors say and force it and it's a real traffic regulations which they don't wanna begin. And I think afford Alford will be getting enough and they're good enough with a little former Heisman Trophy winner at the Helm. Two score -- point I think Florida went big.
Bob thanks a lot for the volunteer side of things we're joined by tennis he beat rhetoric anymore and Randy head coach Lane Kiffin. May the prix is promised we -- all of bottom off Florida four game win -- begins volunteers coming to an end. What will Kiffin need to do to back up his statement.
Well about him not start prying immediately. -- When you look at it on paper this is it's it's a colossal mismanaged Tennessee's coming off a loss at home the UCLA. Can't be UCLA and home I -- on the road so. And I think I think Florida clearly the best team in America and and Tennessee's gonna have to play a near perfect game I think. They're gonna have to force some turnovers. Obviously not committing eight turnovers. And just hope that if Florida. Makes some mistakes become as a in a really when you -- look at the -- talent levels it's it's not really game.
Ready Jonathan prompt in his had a rough go throughout his career at Tennessee do you think going to the sloppily played -- Florida's the best way formed to bounce back.
Look at -- says that the receivers ransom some wrong routes and that. That of detection at times was not up to -- so he is hoping that that Jonathon -- a little better this week with better protection. And with an extra week to work with his receivers to have his best receivers. Gerald Jones and at various more and missed almost dollar pre season where and there was not a lot of timing in. And that's one thing between the two -- and incompetence so. They're hoping that a -- another week of practice will maybe get those guys on the same page. Randy finally what do you see the score being down in Florida but I think I think Tennessee's to me it is pretty get happily about will be able to hang with Florida. Perhaps but I think Florida will look just eventually wear down involves. And I think tennis that the Florida will pull away in the second happen and probably. We in about that the Martin that's being predicted about four touchdowns.
thanks a lot Scott is right in your -- and put the ball let's see who wins this as he conference -- and off I don't think there's much doubt in my mind who wins at Florida's gonna want it now how the question is -- they cover that thirty point spread that we've been seen in. He's Scioscia pretty tough league isn't it now I maintain last year I thought the league with double bet that Florida was just the best team in the country. They they're average margin of victory last year including a lot to -- to ole miss was thirty points on the notes after all mess including seven games and SEC play. They won by an average of 35 point three points that I cover the thirty they cover the third. They played at a grudge match last year against Georgia beat him 49 to ten Georgia was a better team last year than the Tennessee squad they're gonna see this year. Tennessee plays good defense -- expect to be pretty tight the first half club and settles on a little bit but there's too much talent on offense too much on defense Chris training. -- Louis Murphy spot has been filled very well by -- up possession receiver sale of the best tight ends in the country and Aaron Hernandez -- roles on this one. Pac ten guy I have selfish reasons a what'd you do well -- UCLA victory looking better but. I don't think it had I think there is general this time then get beat by by Florida's not gonna say too much what you Helio you Selig does the rest of their season will be better. Florida is better than everybody in the SEC and all they went mall again I don't know. They might go to all the wanna win another another championship but they're better than everybody so I wouldn't worry too much about UCLA a Florida blows out Tennessee -- of the coaches -- importantly -- against an -- I'm hoping it works for us.
