UF:

Offense: C-
Didn't have high expectations, with two unseasoned QBs and a new offense. Definitely need to open up the passing game more, but Muschamp admitted to playing run, run, run... Which, btw, looked impressive to me. Gillislee ran well, especially on the counter to the weak side (TD).

I felt in my heart like Driskel gave us the better chance to win. When it was evident we weren't going to run away with the game, Boom made the right call keeping one QB in the game, regardless of who it was. Jeff, getting more action in the 1st half was probably the best call.

The 3rd and short run plays we will be able to convert, once we open up the passing game, so no worry there. Hard to run with 8/9 guys in the box.

Driskel will be fine... and I think Brissett will be fine if given the opportunity. Jeff has to throw that ball away, not run out of bounds, and work on hitting guys in stride.

Defense: C+
Has got to tighten up. Not sure if bad playcalling, or just being out of position, but the 3rd and 6 or so where BG ran right up the middle 10 yards untouched can not happen. Looked like the DBs were playing way off, but when they clamped down, we saw an INT and a few good pass breakups.

Special Teams: B-
One missed FG on a tip, need to address the assignments. Punt returns looked good (Debose impressed me).

Absolutely hate new kickoff rules!

Coaching: D
The penalties,the pooch kick, the consecutive 4th down failed conversion attempts, even switching QBs once, and the stubbornness not to throw more than 1 out of 8 times on 3rd down give the coaching staff, particularly the HC a D-. Calling it a D, because I really want to believe in Boom. Call it wishful thinking.

Team: C
I think we saw a lot of 1st game mistakes. Reduce penalties, open up playbook, and continue to run north and south, and I think we will improve on last year.

Don't do these things, 6 wins tops.

I do feel like we will beat A&M.
