Transcript excerpt:
At the same time, they're they're still what? Undeniably a top 10 team? Somewhere in that somewhere in that conversation. Um let's go ahead and hit a break and then on the other side, we will get to Florida-Tennessee. So coming up on the other side the John Sumrall era had an extremely confusing spring game scoring system. So what do we make of a 45 to 45 tie? All that and more next. When you need your sports news all the time >> we've got breaking news to bring to you. CBS Sports HQ hits every highlight from all the sports that matter to you. We're bringing you that breaking news right here on HQ. CBS Sports HQ streaming free 24/7. Back here on the Cover 3 podcast. So in Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, the Swamp as they like to call it, it was 45 to 42. And the team with 45 came out to kick a field goal. It was Patrick Durkin. The other team gets three points. Three points awarded for the stop on the missed field goal. Very complicated scoring system here in the blue orange game. Very difficult for me to be able to understand what to make of that. So that's where we had to go a little bit under the hood. Trevone Jones and Aaron Filo, our quarterbacks battling for QB1, played somewhat evenly except for Filo had two interceptions. Jones had no turnovers. I've got some some highlights for a couple of new transfer wide receivers. But this Florida Gators team, as we've discussed, is going to be favored in 15 games this fall. So what's our takeaway from the blue orange game? So all right, quarterback, obviously I I think, you know, Jones playing that well has to be encouraging. I I also, you know, you you read Swamp247, you read all all the excellent Florida sources out there. They still like the guys that have watched all of camp still lean Filo. Filo did have a really rough start and then he closed like crazy. I mean he was like he missed like like I don't know, 13 or 14 or something down the stretch with with two touchdowns. So like he he closed really strong. Singleton, the the transfer receiver I I think money well spent for sure. I mean that one feels like uh I mean he's been good everywhere, right? Or at least talent He was banged up a little bit last season, right? Yeah, like our our our friend J Bot Davis, I mean got like a college football guy named Bud, right? Um you know, big Gators fan.
