Or will they go through the motions and half arse their blocks, continue to drop passes, jog up and down the field on their routes, and just straight up give up on plays. If they do that then I say I bench em all. Every damn one of them. I would rather see 11 true freshmen and walk-ons that wanna play for UF and give it their all and not half arse it out there then to just go through motions because they dont agree with who the damn starting QB should be. I would have more respect for Muschamp benching these entitled athletes that dont give a shite and losing all the games left on the schedule then if he were to somehow pull off a 8-3 patch worked effort that somehow back doors the team into the SECCG. Screw this so and so player gives us the best chance to win bullshite, play the players that actually wanna play and give their best efforts for UF. From today on, every persons job is on the line, QB, WR, OL, RB, Coach. Everybody.

Hey Gators get and up and motherfrickin go already!

Well, one thing I would keep in mind is that only the team really knows what is going on. Sports boards are incredible in the sheer amount of "fact" that gets produced off cherry picking data and then yelling assumptions over and over again.

It definitely looked like the offense got a spark from Treon coming in, but even if that is verifiable, who knows if it was as simple as it just liking Treon more? It could have been Driskel. It could be that they realized the coaches were willing to shake things up to win and found some motivation. It could have been a benchwarmer getting hit with a snowcone that we didn't see that pissed them off (hypothetical there). We really don't know.


As such, I won't guess one way or another, but I wouldn't assume that it is a given the whole team will be down over today's events. Their just turning it around after getting embarrassed at Bama and shut down through three quarter in Knoxville might have an effect all its own. We were done after LSU last year, but they found a way to bounce back after Bama this year. Wasn't pretty, but it still happened.

I'm looking forward to LSU just because I think this is the game where we might have a better idea of the way the season is going to go.

I want to say first and foremost: This spark shite needs to go.

They didn't get a "spark", they're playing half-assed and it's unbelievably obvious. Everything olemc just said was highlighted by me last week.

I even said it during the Kentucky game. These guys just don't seem to operate the same way.

They need to help out whoever is behind center, no matter what their political tomfrickery is. I get it if they like Treon more, but it's just so unbelievably obvious that they don't perform at the same level when Driskel is behind center.

I too would like to see some freshmen on the field this next game -- and I would like to see them fight in the trenches for their quarterback.

Kind of shite that makes you not want to watch games anymore.

I doubt it.

Next two weeks should certainly be interesting. Hopefully UF can run it down LSU's throat and keep Jeff from having to win the game, similar to 2012.

The one thing that worries me is that LSU does go deep a lot, so the back end of the secondary better be ready. All it might take is one cheap TD for LSU to win the game this week.

My 2 cents

The offensive players didn't appear to play as hard for Driskel as they did for Harris on Saturday.

The next wide receiver who drops a pass right in his hands should be benched for the rest of the game, same with an offensive lineman that blows a block and gets the QB sacked.

This team has no leaders, I will even go as far as to say there hasn't been a leader on a UF football team since Tebow left.

We should stop recruiting players just because of how many stars are by their names and recruit some with character and leadership ability.

Muschamp's teams remind me of Doug Dickey's teams
more worried about themselves than the team. Under achievers that will never live up to our expectations of them.
