Our OL can't pass block for more than 2 seconds. This is the worst OL I've ever seen at UF


What's funny (ok, not really) about all this is that I was thinking the OLine would be adequate enough to get by (and the WRs being not that great)...holy shite, was I wrong about this OL .

Most of us don't know what's really happened to this team behind the scenes. I think we got a little overjoyed at first by Murphys first few games when Driskel got injured...but it was against inferior teams and when we played the last two teams it showed his flaws and lack of skills that made him a 2 star recruit. This isn't to bash Murphy...on the contrary I think he has enabled us to continue playing at least.

Im a little upset at seeing Skyler Morningweg(sp) chat on the sideline without a care in the world and obviously knowing he isn't going to play. There may be a reason for that..we don't know. But lets cut the coaches a little slack...fans always attack the coaches and want to replace them when the road gets a little bumpy.

We may HAVE to run into the teeth of an eight man front because of the lack of throwing skills that Murphy possesses? None of us know for sure....but I don't want the kid killed either trying to throw 35 times with our OL....that's our biggest problem. Moore should never start again imho and I rarely name a player like this...but I know people who knew him from high school and they warned me...before season started....they couldn't believe he would be a starter.

Our problem is the rest of the OL...our center Harrison and left guard Halapio have started many games and have gotten worse...why? Koehne is also a OG/OT that has played a lot...but he wasn't highly recruited and has been a backup mostly...but forced into service over the past few years. Humphries? We lost future star in Dunker because of the scooter incident and he has issues...Max Garcia is built like a brickhouse and I don't understand why the turnstiles? Trip Thurman r/s soph?, Tommy Jordan r/s soph? Thurman and Jordan were the sum of our hugerecruiting haul at OL afew yrs ago...thanks Meyer. Patchan never did anything, Silberman r/s jr ? And we recruited a JUCO OT that appears to be r/sing this year. Where in the world are our OL? If you are a high school recruit...what kind of warm and fuzzies do you get that UF will get you into the next level?
Pass block for 2 seconds? No...try about 1.5 seconds...I timed some of the pass rushers with a stop watch and they almost beat the ball to Murphy. When he does have three seconds he is so rattled now that the passes are off target.
We HAVE TO start over on offense.

Everyone was wrong about the OL. They were hyped up to be a strength of the team.

Come to find out only 2 of em are worth a shite, Garcia and Harrison.
