Subject: If you're gonna be playing Florida...
C'mon, that Gibson kid is sick, and the team has their squad
together.  Not that anyone asked for my opinion, but I'd love to have
natties be exciting as opposed to not, so....

What I'd Do If I Were Playing Florida.

On D:
Mix in trash zone with force backhand and Force Middle.  Look, most
college teams always play force flick by default.  But against FLA,
that's dumb - Gibson's the game on that team, and his best weapons are
flick and hammer.  So neutralize those with a force backhand.

You mix in the others to keep them from getting too comfortable... and
FM is good in that it generally reduces the yardage available to give
n go's (which they run a lot, since Gibson wants to touch it every
other pass) and forces most hucks into the stack / help coverage.

On O:
PLAY WITH AN OBSERVER.  Call "DOUBLE TEAM" early and often.

Their 4-man Z, which they run all the damn time, is WAY too close to
the disc (at least, they were all the time when I saw them).  You need
to be vocal about calling that violation - don't just accept it.  Call
it, every time, over and over.  It's a rule that's in the books for a
reason - to prevent D from getting an advantage it shouldn't have over
the O.  Not making that call EVERY TIME means you're ceding that
advantage.

And getting an observer there is a good way to make sure they abide by
that 10-foot line after you make that call.

Florida is a great team.  If you get matched up against them, it's
gonna be a tough game.  Doing dumb things (playing into their
strengths on O, enhancing their D strength by being timid about making
calls) is gonna make it tougher.
