Since most of the weekend is over, I’m not feeling that bad after Thurs…

Everyone is beatable. Just gotta adjust, clean up those 3rd down penalties, OL play and we should be competitive.

What FSU did tonight in year 4 of Norvell is why you don't give up on a HC early in year 2.

He has learned to play the portal like a fiddle. When he lost to the staff that was left after Mullen got fired I thought he was done at fsu. Then he went on a tear in the portal.

My point is that time for the sake of time isn't going to solve the problems. Something has to change. We will learn a lot about Napier this season and in the off-season. Let's hope he isn't as stubborn as his predecessors.

He is going to have to go get a proven OC!!!!

Sale is not the answer on offense. Plus the 2 minute offense was atrocious to be nice. Napier going to have to bite the bullet on his friend and get a real OC!!

Can anyone explain the 2 point conversion? I know we made it but why even attempt it?

a PAT would've given us the lead without OT if we had scored 2 TDs.

But if you miss it that early in your comeback, it makes it harder to complete the comeback, because then you have to make at least one 2 pointer, to tie. Down 24-9 in the fourth quarter, 24-11 is no better than 24-10. Just seemed to be a desperation move.

Yep a few show it in year 3 but good ones never take 4 years to have a pretty good season at the top level of football. We will see what we have later this season and in 2024. You have to blame him for the terrible game management.

analytics favored the gators in that situation.


eta: he did the same thing against Tenn last year and almost won because of it.

I disagree with using that mess in some situations. It says that due to the OT possibly coming into play etc but I think you should play for safer OT possibilities instead of doing something there is less than a 50/50 chance to convert. To me it's like going for a very short 4th down on your own 40 just because some analytic says it's better to try it.

At least we shot ourselves in the foot

Could’ve been drug like LSU
Could’ve been damn near 30 pt favs like Baylor
Could’ve been embarrassed like Clemson

The sky isnt falling
