McElwain is trying to save his job by looking for any reason to suspend players so he can claim the deck was stacked against him.

of the year. You got to ask yourself why his players keep on breaking team rules, and now on game week you suspend your starting running back? I mean if the prior actions failed to set a tone, how will this action send the message?

I actually am starting to hate all of the UF suspensions.  When we beat them on Saturday, all the SEC talking heads are going to say the loss was only due to Calloway and Scarlett being suspended.

Here's my theory. Florida knows Michigan is going to beat them. So why not just suspend a shit ton of players to have a real nice excuse as to why you lost.

Even if our DL can't move sideline to sideline, I guess Scarlett won't be moving much at all. 

But in all seriousness, now we have to win this game. Florida has nearly 10 guys suspended, several of them being starters or at least key contributors. I can't imagine the crap that will spew out of Finebaum's mouth if we drop this one.

Of course if we win, he'll continue to slob-knob all over Florida for putting up a valiant effort, and tell Michigan fans they shouldn't be proud of beating an crippled Florida team unfairly hampered by sanctions (he'll spin it as being unfair), and that Michigan is still wildly overrated.

Any chance this could be Florida's gambit for not showing their hand against Michigan not releasing a chart and really nothing happened?

Gotta hand it to the Florida fan base.  Some of their comments leading up to this game are pretty funny & self aware.  

I don't totally hate these guys, despite the fact that their team has a ton of idiot criminals on the roster.
