Apparently.
I’m fine with whatever the coaches decide. As I’ve said, if there’s ever a season Smart and Monken have earned the benefit of the doubt, it’s this one. I just hope it’s a call driven by what they think will work best today, rather than an indication that Daniels still isn’t physically ready.
That all being said, the one thing I ask is that they avoid being cute by playing the two in alternating series, or some other silliness like that. This ain’t 2018.

We gon find out who starts on the Dawgs first O series. On3sports? Riiiiiiight. I’d like to know who their “sources” are.
If Monken is going to play both QBs then maybe it’s best that SBIV starts. The last time he relieved Daniels he came in jacked up and promptly threw an interception. I trust the coaches much more than On3sports. Sounds like those shitheads are looking for cheap publicity.

I would be more dubious if Seth Emerson weren’t saying the same thing. But regardless I bet Daniels plays today and gets back the starter role by Atlanta

Yeah I’m ok either way and I wouldn’t be surprised if JT tames back the starting spot today when he plays. And I agree on Bennett coming in after JT. He hasn’t done much of the dumb stuff that he did last year but what little he has done was when he cane in after. He reminds me of Murray with that stuff when Murray would do something stupid and we would hear about how “amped up” he was. The quarterback is one guy that doesn’t need to be all hopped up on Mountain Dew.

“If Monken is going to play both QBs then maybe it’s best that SBIV starts.” Ranger, that is one of the most insightful things I have read in a while. Brilliant really. No snark. In 2018 if Fromm had got injured mid season and Fields was named the starter, I think you would have seen a completely different player.

Either one of both our starters is fine with me. It would be poetic justice if Stetson starts and lights those bitches up as payback for last year. The one thing that concerns me are possible cheap shots late. Wouldn’t put it past them.

Ive been all over the map with my anxiety regarding cheap shots/late hits/trying to hurt our dudes this week. I am hoping that those turds come to the realization that there are a lot of draft picks on the field and on some level players on both sides should respect that and not try to hurt anyone.

Two points: 1) I think that either Bennett or Daniels can do enough to beat Florida or any team on our schedule that’s because I have faith in Monken, the defense and the QBs, 2) I hope this has not become a distraction for the team especially today against our biggest rival. Hopefully the focus that we’ve shown thus far is an indication of a special team and this QB uncertainty (at least from our perspective) is not something the players care about or waste any time worrying about.
GO DAWGS FTMF!

If Daniels is truly ready to play, I admit I find this to be troubling. Not enough to think we aren’t going to win, but enough that this game could be very uncomfortable. I keep thinking about 3rd down conversions and how the 2 QBs have been very different in the passing game on 3rd.

SBIV will be center stage and by choice not necessity. We’ll see how he handles that pressure. I’m trying to tell myself it will be okay but I am concerned about this game. UF is much more capable than their record. What Stetson hasn’t dealt with is being behind and having to make plays. Could that be when the pressure gets to him? I hope not.
Bottom line: We all know dem dere Gatas don’t take no jive. What we don’t know is exactly what that means.

UF still has playmakers. We recruited some of the guys that are on their roster. Also, they turned the ball over a ridiculous 4 times against LSU and would have won that game if not for that. The law of averages will balance that turnover ratio back out at some point in their season.

Yeah but I’m enjoying it right now and it has been a lot of fun so far. Worrying isn’t going to help Georgia win so I don’t do it. Georgia is the better team by a wide margin and is better coached. Kirby has talked to them about everything they need to be aware of at length and several times over. So they will either win or they won’t and me being concerned won’t turn a possible loss into a win. No Florida won’t turn the ball over four times today most likely but I bet they’re good for one or two. A couple of wasted possessions against this team is game over. FTMF. Georgia is going to kick Florida’s ass.

My desired scenario: Bennett puts it out of reach early enough to bring in JT, and then- under the pretext of getting him some needed work- run it the hell up. Way the hell up.

Just my two cents without reading all of the above. Bennett starts because we want to run and see if the Gator’s suck against the run like against LSU. If we can run it will be Bennett, if we need to pass to beat them then you will see JT.
