Six games and just under a month into a 2017-18 season that will stretch for more than 30 games and four months, we are probably allowed to at least have strong assumptions about the Florida Gators.
Heading into their Monday night rivalry showdown with Florida State (9 p.m., ESPN2), those assumptions would seem clear: Florida is an elite offensive team, and not nearly as good on defense.
I think those assumptions are right — but that they may actually be too timid, given what the Gators have actually done on both ends of the floor this year.
