I know Fan Duel had the Florida Gators with a 10.5-point favorite, but with Missouri almost taking out Georgia last week, I was a bit nervous about this game.  It was Homecoming week so the pressure to get a win was definitely on.

The defense did play better, especially with Jaydon Hill’s two interceptions, one of which was a pick six in the first quarter.  That said, the defense will need more tweaking as they face LSU next week.  The Florida Gators gave up 150 yards rushing, 220 yards passing, and allowed Missouri’s QB Cook to have a 73% passer rating.

That said, Florida’s offense is starting to look pretty good.  Anthony Richardson threw for only one interception this time, which is definitely better.  Running Backs Johnson and Etienne were a formidable duo with both players getting over 80 yards rushing and Johnson getting a touchdown.  WR Ricky Pearsall had a nice throw from Richardson to score a touchdown early in the fourth quarter as well.

In the end, it was a good win to celebrate during Homecoming week and it will definitely carry some momentum into the next match up against the other Tigers of LSU on October 15^th.

Due to Hurricane Ian, Saturday’s game between the Florida Gators and the Eastern Washington Eagles was moved to Sunday at 12:00pm EDT. The last time the Gators played on Sunday was back in 1977. Florida played Texas A&M during the Sun Bowl to finish off the 1976 college football season. Unfortunately, Florida lost that matchup against the Aggies 37-13 in El Paso, Texas.

Nevertheless, it’s time to get fired up! QB Anthony Richardson played pretty good last week against the Tennessee Volunteers, but not enough to get the win. He definitely seemed more confident behind center last week, but he still ended up throwing an interception. Good news is he threw for 453 yards, two touchdowns, and ran for two more touchdowns.

The defense, however, still needs tweaking. Against Tennessee, Florida’s defense gave up 576 yards and could not force a three and out. The heavily favorited Gators can, hopefully, fine tune the defense to get ready for an SEC East match-up against the Missouri Tigers next week.

The Gators are 2-2 and ranked 5^thin the SEC East division.

You can watch the game on the SECN+ or ESPN+ networks at 12:00pm EDT.

It’s that time of year again! With the release of the Modern Warfare II open beta, Call of Duty hype season is under way. I was able to finally play a few rounds on the Playstation 4. The Xbox version doesn’t start until next weekend, so I’ll see how that one plays on the new console. Since I don’t have a PS5, I had to settle playing on the PS4.

The game seems very similar to Modern Warfare, like the environment, for example. The hit detection seems different from it’s predecessor. The time-to-kill (TTK) took longer than expected. Not as bad as Treyarch’s Black Ops series, but not as good as the Infinity Ward’s iteration of the game, like Modern Warfare 3. The modifications for the weapons are similar to Warzone and the first Modern Warfare (2019). I did like how you can run a UAV and counter UAV on two separate kill streaks. I remember running this combo during the Black Ops days and loved it.

Overall, I am excited about this game and I’m curious to see what kind of tweaks Infinity Ward has in store.

Check out the gameplay below. I played some regular Team Deathmatch in first-person and third-person view.
