Our defense is a joke so far.

Inability to wrap up. A Florida tradition.

3rd and 18. Throw the ball downfield. Does a pick really hurt at this spot on the field?

Play calling sucks.

Oline sucks.

We need our young D to bail us out.

Special teams again. How does he ask for the biggest staff in school history but not have a special teams coach.

This is embarrassing.

It always amazes me that we continue us to run it up the middle for little to no gain as much as we do.

If only we had speed at RB and could wear the defense down by running it to the edges…

This game is a complete joke so far. Our coaches and players both are taking an a** kicking.

The worst part is their QB is garbage.

And still we can do nothing to stop them.

It’s one thing to lose a close on on the road. But to be getting skull-drug by a not very good Kentucky team? This whole coaching staff and team is getting mauled mentally and physically.

They have 220 yds on the ground on 15 attempts….FIFTEEN. They’re getting over 14 yds per carry. Unbelievable.

I posted this on another board. It's longwinded, but it's my honest view of this coaching staff.

Every season of football every game ever played is algorithm solving for the best way to get the most wins. Look at how many of those "solved" seasons included no special teams coach and two offensive line coaches. Additionally, in the last 40 years or so, while there have been coaches who won calling their own plays, they were almost always elite offensive minds, at least in the period in which they were winning those championships. Or they lucked into a generational talent (who may or may not like stealing crab legs).

So we have over a century of running this same problem every fall and solving for best practices, but our staff is going to reinvent the wheel because it knows better than history? I'd almost give it a pass - sometimes being eccentric leads to a new evolution of the game - but when you are having all the exact problems decade after decade of running this program predicts you should expect, you've more than likely found dead end rather than a new solution.

Which is all to say, I don't think a team coached with this current philosophy, even with all the right pieces, will ever see a 10 win regular season, much less any championships. These heterodox approaches aren't exactly unknown. The vast majority of elite coaching staffs don't do them because they don't work.

Agreed. Utah left a bad taste in my mouth. It's like I'm just waiting for us to implode like we did in that game.


Imploding. Tennessee game seems more like an anomaly...and this is who we really are. Especially against any team with a pulse.

I'd almost say what's the point of a play action on 3rd and long, but then I remembered we always run on 3rd and long.

They’ve thrown it deep twice.
Overthrow by Merrz on an open WR
Drop by pearsall plus a penalty that would have negated it anyway

A couple of deep balls isn't the same as throwing it down the field regularly.

Almost all of our passes are shallow crosses/hitches, or check downs to the RBs.

We don't spread the defense out at all on a regular basis.

We can’t block consistently to do anything
