Hello and welcome to football on grits. It's Monday, November 1st. I almost said October 1st, which is not.

I hope you had a very spooky weekend, Andy, I think. We know Florida did. We'll talk about them here in a second.

But I am your host, David Ubbin here with my co-host, Andy Staples.

Andy, we got a lot to talk about.

A big weekend in the SEC.

I assume Florida has been to better cocktail parties.

Anyone associated with Florida probably has been to better cocktail parties.

We've got to start there.

We've got a lot to talk about today.

Florida, obviously, they hang around for most of that first half.

The Stetson Bennett, J.T. Daniels, uh, discourse was growing, I imagine. Um, and then of course

Georgia's defense happens and you snap your fingers and it goes from 3-0 to 24-0 and the game

is essentially over before they get in the locker room.

This morning on The Athletic, our colleagues, Bruce Feldman and G. Allen Taylor had a very revealing piece where they talked to a dozen or so coaches around the SEC about Florida.

Andy, I'm going to read you one of the key quotes from that piece. Florida, they just don't play hard, said an SEC East coach. Georgia's trying to rip your head off. They might be up 30 to zero, and their linebackers are flying upfield to get after your ass. Florida is a finesse team. Kentucky plays hard. You watch UF on tape.

They've got skill, but they're not physical. What did you make of that piece? Many quotes like that. What did you make of that frank assessment of the Gators? Well, there's nothing that's on video

that would refute that. Yeah, LSU especially.

LSU, I think, was a really eye-opening.

That's exactly what we've seen from them. And it's been the recruiting piece of this,

which Alan and Bruce get deeper into in the story,

has been a complaint about Dan Mullen since he got to Florida.

And it has been one of those that's been, okay, he's doing well with the guys he has.
