As i am reading this. Issue occurs to me is that even with a super accurate Deep ball QB like DG. Gus wouldn't change his Offense to the players strengths. It will be interesting to see how this all plays out.

He’s a prototype slot guy. Fast, crisp routes. 1 year is enough for many, he never looked bad and caught difficult balls every game. He’s got enough film. I doubt he transfers again, I feel like if he leaves the team it’s to go pro, not transfer.
Comment about j-flash seemed concerning by Gus. What exactly is j-flash situation? Injury, transfer or what? Didn’t he go to Hawaii with DG last summer? Wonder where he’s at?
Robinson for sure has NFL speed and ball skill, the guy runs a 4.3 and has made amazing catches. The question is his size
DG leaving is horrible news for Okeefe and JFlash. How do you be a great receiver without a great QB?
Anyone who is a first round grade should be so out. If that’s true, Elam should be opting out also.
Wish the BYU QB last year would’ve got the memo.
Maybe that’s the mindset of Jones with playing. Look really good us against us in a bowl game and open up more transfer destinations.

That same Qb, Tysom Hill, just beat Tom Brady's Buccs.
EDIT: made mistake on BYU qb. oops...coffee too strong but when I was watching that Buccs game the other night I thought it was the same guy in the Boca Bowl. After googlin' I see that byu qb is with the jets.

2 days away. Anyone getting excited for this game?
Yeah for this current weather moving out by then.

Oops, I got the BYU Qb wrong. Nevermind. Zach Wilson was BYU Qb in Boco Bowl. Taysom Hill played for BYU in 2016.
I’m talking opt out of Bowl. Game is in 2 days. He can’t wait that long for the game. The deadline to declare for NFL draft date is in January.
From Gator journalist Pat Dooley:
* Florida has maintained a six-point spread in its game against UCF in the Gasparilla Bowl and this is the most difficult game to call for Dr. Football. I just don’t have a feel for how important this game is to the players and coaches who won’t be around in 2022. Never bet with your heart and take the Knights and the six.

DGs spirals may be beautiful but he was not super accurate. His completion was 60% which was 67th among FBS qbs and this is middle of the pack. He very often made underthrows on deep balls but was bailed out by our excellent receivers, (Davis, Nixon, JFlash, etc) who would make the adjustment to turn poor throws into a reception.
great article:
Here are the UCF and Florida football players to watch in the 2021 Gasparilla Bowl
Few pre-Christmas bowl games have ever generated this sort of excitement, so it's only right to take a deep dive into this game between UF and UCF.

Lucky the bowl is happening now, everything pointing to another spike at an even faster rate than before. Unfortunately, its also looking like spike in hospitals too, which I didn't think would happen so soon after Delta.
Yeah we might be able to squeeze this game in before the shit hits the fan… I’m still concerned that we’ll have some surprise players out due to covid, given what’s happened in the nfl.
I’ve seen a lot of people selling tickets. Everyone with different reasons. One guy said he was selling 4 tickets because his wife was recently paralyzed. I went to her page and she was talking about not being able to walk in late August. He knew he was buying to just flip them.
Another way to win the UCF vs. UF game is to get their QB Emory Jones. Provided our guys give it their all, Jones could be convinced that UCF is the place to come when he transfers.
I’d rather risk playing the freshman over Emory Jones
MK has a better completion percentage throwing 2 yard outs than DG did throwing go routes. DG sucked.
Keene is on the Milton trajectory, sub par Freshman year so that means he will be Heisman caliber sophomore. Gabriel with his career 5-1 td/int ratio was awful.
I was day drinking in a dive bar over here in Brevard just now and in comes a guy with a orange Gator shirt. His first comment was, "Gators are gonna beat UCF by 50 points." An hour later he was agreeing with me that UCF is probably going to win. Bowser Bowser Bowser... 
If Bowser can make it through the game! He's an impressive specimen when healthy. Rare combo of power and fleet-footedness.I was day drinking in a dive bar over here in Brevard just now and in comes a guy with a orange Gator shirt.

Might buy me some Bowser socks!
If Bowser can play at the level he did in the Boise game. He was in beast mode!

Yeah, we need a lot more than just that. Bowser can certainly help, but those are high-level SEC front seven guys on the other side of the ball. They’re not going to respect our vertical passing game, so running the ball down their throats will be pretty tough. They will certainly play man on the outside, and they have the guys to do so (led by DB Elam, first round pick).
I think we are going to have to take down-field shots, hit on a couple trick plays, and use O’Keefe (pre-snap motion) running outside zone plays. That’s where we can loosen them up, off-tackle (as long as receivers block).
Defensively, forcing turnovers has been somewhat of a strength for us, will need 2-3 of those. But we’re talking about slowing down a top-15 offense in the country.
We have a huge challenge in front of us, don’t get it twisted.
