Neil W. Blackmon (Saturday Down South) and Eric Fawcett (Gator Country) discuss Florida's 66-55 victory over South Florida in the Orange Bowl Classic.

Finally, the guys break down why Florida has struggled with drop pick and roll coverages, and what they might do to get Myreon Jones going for Florida.

Later (minute 31), the guys preview Florida's December 22 matinee matchup against Stony Brook. Why the Sea Wolves, who were the preseason favorites in the America East, are so solid-- and why they can test Florida defensively.
