Ohio state fans can be high on who ever they want.

If Miller would have been at 100% on Saturday he wasn't seeing the field. I do think it would have been more productive after our first series in the second half. If Napier would have put in Kitna for a series and let AR kind of see on the sideline what was going on out there because he sure was not seeing it on the field in play.

Plus the Roughing the passer call on Trey Dean is not what beat us but it sure gave Kentucky 7 points though.

Weston returning kickoffs is a disaster. He barely makes it out too the 20 fair catch and start at the 25.

We have no speed at the receiver position. So that means we have no deep threat which is one less thing other teams defenses do not have to worry about. As much I didn't like Copeland he did give us a deep threat that teams had to prepare for. This is probably the least amount of team speed that the gators have had in a long time. Where has Whittemore been I don't believe I've heard his name in either of the 2 games.

The Defense played more then well enough to win this game. They were not perfect but still played more then well enough to win. The offensive game plan was not good AR Should never throw more then 30 passes in any game ever.

There were no misdirection plays like there were in the Utah game no multiple shifts either. Kentucky put 8 in the box manned up and said if you can beat us throwing the ball more power to you and we could not.

AR needs to be a leader out there on the field and on the sideline. Instead of pouting on the bench and staying Quiet sitting by himself. He should have gotten his line and his receivers together on the sideline and talked zbout what was happening on the field and what he was seeing. I have no problem with Sale being our oline coach but co-offensive coordinator is a stretch for him. Calling 35 passes for AR SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN EVER!!!!!

Doesn't Burke have a little speed? I know he was in the doghouse for a while but I think he had a few nice catches against SC when he actually got to play a little.

Isn't Napier the game day playcaller?

Albino, you are right on with all your comments.

Even if someone is your unquestionable #1, if they are having a bad day you have to make a change, if only for a series or 2.

We never get a break from the Zebras. If there is a 50/50 call it will always go against us.

Defense is improving, pass coverage is still a weakness as well as depth on the Dline.

Play calling was suspect, no adjustments were made during the game, IMO.

We have seen the best and worse of this Gator team, I hope that Coach Napier keeps coaching them up and that we see more of the team that beat Utah than the team from Saturday night. Go Gators.

I agree with pretty much every thing you said in your post, but this right here is so spot on.

I can't believe how poorly Mullen recruited the WR position, and I also can't believe that he couldn't get a halfway decent pass catching TE after the season Pitts had in 2020.

I really want AR to be a thing for us, but that USF performance has made me a real doubter.

It's one thing to struggle as an inexperienced starter against a well-coached Kentucky defense, but tonight was ridiculous.

I'm not saying Miller or Kitna is the answer. And I'm not totally off the AR-Train yet either. I'm just not very encouraged by what I've seen these past two weeks.
