In my opinion, we were looking at two legitimate 10 win + teams tonight. Yes it was really sloppy, with far too many penalties, missed tackles, trash talking/penalties, mental mistakes, etc.  All of this can be corrected.  But both teams were extremely athletic, especially defensively. Both of these defenses are fast, physical and athletic; they will win a lotta games for both teams. Miami's OL, which looked bad due to fact both OT's were beat all night by Florida's NFL DE's, is actually not that bad and will be much better with reps and against defenses in the ACC which don't have NFL DL-men to block, (Clemson excepted though not as much as last year of course).  Both teams need their QB's to play a lot better. Canes' QB needs to do 3 things: 1) not lock on to receivers so much (and thus feel the rush better); 2) throw the ball away when needed; 3) run for the sticks when things break down.  He is physically gifted but was unable to take over the game and execute in the face of an equally physically gifted defense. Excusable in his first start against a defense of this caliber. Gators' QB needs to be less emotional generally and more focused on what he is doing AT ALL TIMES. He has the tools, when he is consistently excellent with those tools, he can be a high 1st round draft pick and put his team in SEC championship contention.  Bottom line is both of these teams have top 10 talent and are good especially defensively.  They will *dominate* against many if not most of the teams on their schedule.  But cleaning up mistakes (very doable) and better QB play (we will see, not as doable) will determine if they are just good or elite. The talent is there ....
