Zaire cant grasp the offense. Toney is better in the wildcat. Zaire is never seeing the field again

Noodle arm Luke. Holy shite our football program has been reduced to this by Muschamp and now Mcelwain. Well you know guys, this is pretty cool man. It's what life is all about.

He intially brought the dumpster to UF. frick him. He left a depleted offensive line, a 4-8 season, and loss to an fcs team that failed to complete a pass. Again frick him. I'm glad he's your problem now. But you're right, this team is all on Mcelwain

Didn't y'all do pretty well with noodle arm last time he played?

You can always bring in Felipe for the hail Mary's.

Luke is sadly the best option. Franks simply doesn't grasp the offense.

The bigger issue is the complexity of the offense. Its far too complex for someone like Franks who really hasn't been coached well till he got to college. So he doesn't know how to read the defense, he throws the wrong route frequently, doesn't check down, and doesn't call blitz at the line to help the Oline.

End of day Del Rio isn't great, but the offense will move with him in.

Florida has a LOT of play makers now. Davis, Toney, Powell, Cleveland, etc. So all we really need is a Qb to gel it together.


I will say it right now. UF will have a decent offense with Del Rio. Davis was a great back the last two weeks. Kentucky had the third ranked rush d and Davis went hard on them.

Its tough to swallow, but Luke is the best option. He will move the ball because he knows how to function this scheme. Nuss sucks. But his scheme is a decent one with the right Qb.

The fact that they can't get Franks ready to play after a red shirt season, is the real concern. Nuss is a horrible football coach. He makes over a million $ a season for an offense ranked in the 100's for 3 straight seasons.

Franks was extremely raw coming out of high school and he always seemed, how do I say this, a little "slow". I never believed he'd be ready so quickly.

The Grier situation obviously fricked us big time but the fact that Mac can't even recruit another suitable halfway decent starter in all this time is ridiculous. He went out and got three transfers that couldn't hack it at other schools in Appleby, Del Rio, and Zaire. And he signed a QB that no one else wanted in Trask.

He's your best QB right now. You should be glad he's starting. Franks obviously just doesn't get it at the moment.

I feel like Del Rio can lead us to a comfortable 13-10 win over the commodores.

**That is about as close to a blowout as we can get.

Damn, yall don't think you can get more than 13 on Vandy?


I think Saban only ran 3 plays; horse dick right, horse dick left, and QB keeper. Then he let the backup run a few pass plays just for shits and giggles.

Franks is the future right? Why not just take your licks with a freshman? Much higher ceiling.

We have one in Del Rio, who is half-way decent. He tried out Franks, Franks didn't do so well, and his change kept us from losing to Kentucky on the road. We also have a five star quarterback coming in next year???

What disappoints me the most about you guys, though, is how little respect there is for Del Rio. Dude comes in, lights up the offense and gets us down the field and all I read here is how mediocre he is.

I fricking hate the way our program treats quarterbacks (anyone remember Driskel?), and it's no wonder no one wants to come play for us where when you win all you read is ''noodle arm'', ''not even half-way decent'', ''nothing to look at''.

Personally, Del Rio looked poised, calm and collected, moved well in the pocket and made several very good reads, checking down and eventually converting several times.

Franks, in 3 quarters had not converted a third down once. Del Rio had 5 in one quarter. The offense will move with him, and I think Del Rio surprises a lot of people.

Because shark fricker might not be there for his sophomore year if he doesn't win this year.
