I feel sorry for Florida. We are going to boat race them. 

Beating Florida wont erase the damage this has caused Sark. Something broke yesterday.

It will be better but his issues are still issues even against bad defenses.  He didn't play that well and threw 50% completion rate against UTSA (120 ranked).

He'll have a few more good drives but we'll still see a fair share of 3 and outs. If he just throws to whoever McClain is defending this week, Arch will look like a Heisman candidate. 😄
