Even though the game is about 3.5 months away Vegas just released the lines for opening weekend. We open as 37 point underdogs.

Re: Game 1 (2016): Florida
Unfortunately that's not unwarranted. It always looks shocking but it's really not. Honestly I was kind of hoping they would be under 5 TD dogs, turns out it's a little more.
They've got to work hard to try and prove that wrong. Execute with good habits, try and set yourself up well for the following games. Not at least covering the spread would be tough.

Not sure how much we're going to learn about the squad in this one. In Gainesville vs an SEC defense is a brutal way for a QB to get his first start. Gotta hope Marquis Young can gash a few long ones. If we score more than 10 before the 2nd and 3rd defenses come in and/or hold the Gators to less than 35 it's a positive sign.

Get out of the Swamp without major injuries and bring home a nice paycheck.
Re: Game 1 (2016): Florida
A fat paycheck and no serious injuries. That's the competitive spirit of college football!....smh

I think this is my biggest fear about playing the 2016 schedule. I know UMass has done a better job recruiting FBS size, but it's young size.DrG wrote:Get out of the Swamp without major injuries and bring home a nice paycheck.
Raise the bar, do the minimum.

Saturday night in the Swamp, especially early in the season when it's hot and humid, can be very intimidating.
