So how did Kenny Guiton do?

We still have some glaring issues on offense, with no insult intended to Florida we probably would have blown them out in this one but for a ton of dumb penalties and mistakes. We still tend to be an undisciplined team.
Yet, when we needed it, for the first time this season, our offense played clutch.
When our defense started to get worn down in the 4th, and they were put in some tough spots today, I was certain we were screwed. But Guiton dialed up the right plays and gave KJ free reign to do what KJ does best... which is rumble ahead on broken plays and make something happen.
I'm not saying extend everyone for another decade, but Guiton's willingness to be a little more freewheeling (and take some shots down field) seems to have paid off for us.

I think the success today with the offense pissed me off more than what we saw under Enos. We would probably be 6-3 or 7-2 right now if we had just kept some variation of this offense as opposed to do a complete 180 to Enos’ system. That’s 100% on Pittman.
Loved what I saw with Guiton though and if he continues to have success over the next three games then I assume we see one more year with Sam with KG getting the OC job full time.
If you haven’t seen the video of KG and KJ celebrating after the game, you should. Really emotional to see how much this meant to them both.

Funny, it was only a month and a half ago Enos was trying to grill an undergrad on how to call plays minutes after a big loss
I can only imagine the schadenfreude Enos expected this game to produce. How would we ever succeed with a stripped down version of his almighty offense?? Turns out, maybe the average fan could do better than Enos...

I mean it’s one game. We had plenty of offensive miscues as usual, penalties, fumbles, etc., and also per usual damned near gave it away. Getting Rocket back certainly helped and he made some key plays. KJ played well but he can have good and bad games and we saw it last year too. But I doubt his success today is because we now have a new OC. I do think we are better when he can and does run the ball well. But people on social media are all giddy and going nuts that “we got our OC now” by beating one of the worst Florida teams in recent history.
I thought it interesting that on 4th down KJ got under center but then shifted back in the gun (we converted but only because of the off sides penalty). I remember the fan base wanting Enos fired because of this tactic.
I could as much attribute the success to the rain we got over the end of last week into the weekend.
Our defense wasn’t great today tbh is what I noticed most. When Florida woke up we really couldn’t stop them and of course they managed to score 36 points.
I am going to wait and see; it still all lives or dies with the head hog as far as I’m concerned.

We should probably let the other teams get some tape on guyton before we decide one way or the other on him

Kenny G did exactly what he should have done. He simplified the offense for a quarterback that should be playing tight end. He isn’t accurate, so he didn’t ask him to throw tight windows. He isn’t accurate, so he wasn’t asked to hit timing passes. He is a chunk, so he let him run.
All those would have got use about 3-4 more wins this year.
