The Florida Gators are turning to Steve Spurrier to help fix the team's floundering offense. Steve Spurrier Jr., anyway. Interim coach Billy Gonzales said Wednesday the younger Spurrier, who was hired as an offensive analyst earlier this year, will be more involved with quarterback DJ Lagway when the Gators (3-4, 2-2 SEC) play No. 5 Georgia (6-1, 4-1) in Jacksonville on Nov. 1.
The Dallas Cowboys are looking for their third win of the season on Sunday afternoon, and to get it they'll have to hand the Carolina Panthers their fourth loss - but first at home. The Panthers are 2-0 at home so far with a decisive 30-0 win against the Falcons, and last week's 27-24 comeback against the Miami Dolphins.
Offense, meanwhile, involves anticipating needs and planning for various scenarios. Defense looks like sitting still. Defense looks like reacting to rates, [and it] looks like expanding and contracting to every market term. So we're not necessarily just in a turbulent market right now. Our market and our industry are evolving faster than any of us can really reorganize our orgs to keep up. So what offense looks like is trying to anticipate those needs and being ready for anything, Snow said.
"Primarily we're focused on bats in the draft. When it comes to trades, we'll try to pry the best talent that we have. It could be pitching, it could be position players. But going into it, we're looking to improve our offense long-term."
In the previous matchup against a healthy Houston squad, the Lakers closed with this same five. Rockets head coach Ime Udoka spoke on the challenges of that unit. "It's obviously a spacing unit that shoots a lot of threes and the spacing is totally different, obviously, without Hayes in there." Udoka said before Friday's matchup.
