Gave the team a chance in a game they were given no chance in.

Gators played tough, but injuries have taken their toll.

This isn't going to go well with two of our fellow Gators here. I agree with you though.

I've been hard on Muschamp about the last few weeks, but I can't blame him tonight.

Played to predictable. Bad decision on the int.

Though it didn't matter on the scoreboard, we should have an open tryout to all citizens of the United States to see if we can find a FG kicker.

We were down to our 3rd string RS Freshman QB whom has gotten zero live football snaps.

What did you expect? If Skylar threw 30+ times tonight, UF gets blown out.

True. If we would have made the earlier one we play the fourth differently.

I know. but I wish just one of our QB's would throw it away. I liked the way the team as a whole played.

He deserves the criticism. The injuries are unbelievable.

I agree. Not really much you can do with Mornhinweg as your starting QB. The defense played really well, although the coverage on broken plays was driving me crazy.

The defense was on the field too long in second half...give a team like USC too many snaps and they will produce at least one or two big plays.

Team played with heart and I knew we couldn't let Skyler throw much until late in the game when we lost the lead. We were one mistake by USC from winning this game. Fear not reptiles...good times are a coming.

I knew we wouldn't get blown out...Boom wont let that happen and its time folks realize how hard he gets his team to play..we have looked awful in execution...but in the desire to win department, we have been exceptional. He never lets his team get their head down and I love how he chewed the azz off that official who didn't call holding when # 6 Fowler was grabbed and obviously held. A play or two later we got a holding call on them, so he got what he wanted.

Not having a reliable kicker is hurting this year. If we could just end our drives with a fieldgoal we would probably have 2 to 3 more wins this season.

Honestly I think we have had too many mid week injuries and although we have to practice like we play at times...it seems like we have been too hard on team during the week. That's just an opinion and Im not sure Im correct. Some injuries just happen without any contact when foot is planted wrong etc etc.

We all know that Boom is tough and coaches tough. The players try their best for him and I like DJ Durkin a lot. Next year will be the proof we need to see where we are at and I honestly believe we will surprise folks.

Better game than I thought they'd play, so Kudos to thethe staff, but it just sucks with all the injuries we have. Good to see us at least in the ball game too.

I have been hard on the coaching staff for a few weeks but thought they had the best gameplan to win the game last night. Maybe could have thrown more early but that might have gone bad and taken away the chance to win.

Field goal kicking is unacceptable, we are the University of Florida and cant get better kickers than we have? Punting is horrible also.

Offense has to improve next year but I was glad to see that the players haven't given up. I was proud of the effort last night, coaches did a great job keeping the team together.

Yup, can't be too disappointed.

I am shocked by how bad our kickers are.

It was a good effort, but once again we won (lost actually) the penalty battle. That is every game this year. When you have a team that can't score, that will lead to a losing season.

You can't play football hoping the other team does something to cost them the game, although I understand it in our current situation, but that seems to be the style Muschamp prefers regardless.

Anyway, today under the circumstances was a good effort. Although I would take a 49-35 loss over this if we got some balls to our playmakers and let them have fun.
