Yes, I said it...no need to pummel me finchy...Ive seen enough.

Let me point out crown jewels of this awful game.

1) I hope all you who were clamoring for Franks now understand what I was preaching....ITS OBVIOUS HE ISNT READY YET. Zaire is not good either...he cannot pass so we stick him in the game (way too late imo) down 2 scores WTF? Coaches know he cant throw.

2) OL SUCKS and I was terribly wrong about them. No blocking and 100 yds of offense at halftime...we MIGHT have ended up with 150 total.

3) Clock management????? Do our offensive coaches understand what hurry the frick up is? Six minuters left and we have thumbs up our butts.

4) Del Rio or someone from the stands needed to take snaps midway through the second qt. How much terrible do you have to see before realizing it aint working?

5) As far as I'm concerned...fire every coach on the fricking offense. That's how PISSED I am.

The good news? Our defense was awesome until Gardner got hurt and the defense was on the field WAY too many time after too many three and outs. This has NOTHING to do with suspensions...its about an offense that is high school grade. Our defense scored 2 TDs....they needed to score 5 TDs. Moon and other frosh played on D...Henderson is still learning but he better learn to tackle...Slaton and Campbell both some snaps on the DL to give starters a rest.

This shite has to stop. LIGHT A FIRE under the OL's asses....start replacing them...cant be worse than it already is.

#1 is the biggest one IMO. If you start Franks, you know his strength is passing, so frick it, let it rip. Instead they call about 11 or 12 passes for him (and he did oK, 5-9, 75 yards and a couple of runs and a bad luck fumble).

Then they put in Zaire who obviously can't throw and they drop back 25 times to pass? WTF!?!?! That is so insanely dumb.

Defense, I am proud of them. Offense needs an entire new coaching staff IMO.

No Slayer, you don't let Franks air it out...he tripped and bumbled and fumbled...a r/s frosh starting his FIRST damn game....exactly what I feared. Del Rio must really suck in scrimmages for him to not get snaps.

Don't surprised if Del Rio doesn't start or at least get a lot of snaps. FRANKS ISNT READY YET. LDR may not be the great QB we want but he has experience in the system and is a fairly accurate passer.

Our main problem is the OL and the shitshow they put on. Taylor was abused at RT all game long....at least he is a true soph...but he had his lunch money takn from him.

He had moments where he wasn't great, sure, he's a RS frosh, it'll happen, but they didn't let him do anything. He had 75 yards passing on 9 attempts. Maybe if he had 18 attemtps UF would have had 150 yards passing and a TD at a critical moment in the game.

We don't know because they gave up on him.

No Slayer better watch game again...Franks was excited which is why I thought he might not be ready yet. He may be by mid season or end of the season but watch the game and he looked so confused, tripping over McCoy twice, fumbling and only 100 yds at halftime.

He needs seasoning and he will be awesome, strong is useless if your mentally not ready. Ol didn't do anyone favors...Zaire is NOT the answer when we are down two scores WTF? Our entire OL was shite, center and RT especially...two true sophs.

We still can improve since we have a good defense. I'm worried about UK @ Lexvegas. Start Del Rio and let him be game manager til Franks is ready. Fire all the offensive coaches as far as I'm concerned. This shite has to stop. Donors will bitch loud and clear...Mac will be our coach at least til 2018 season...but he better get offense going or he wont see 2019.

I think you are being too harsh on Franks, but OK.

Definitely shouldn't have taken him out for Zaire though, that much I KNOW.

We need to pick a QB and ride with him. I like Franks still.

We could have had take your pick at quarterback with this putrid off line it would not have made a difference.what was suppose to be our biggest strength is our biggest weakness where was Dre Massey and kadarius Toney all you heard about all camp was those 2 named and nothing from either one in this game.

Heck it would have been better to let Toney take snaps instead of Zaire

Franks will never earn his lumps if he never plays. Let him start again next week and play the whole game. It will help! I promise!!!

Sure lets play Franks all the way....but be prepared for a 6-6 season at best and we might be 6-6 regardless who QBs this team if the OL doesn't get fired up.

We need someone calm under center, Franks is NOT calm, he hasn't grown into his body yet and when he tries to run around he looks disjointed and awkward. Stay the frick in the pocket and throw. He ran for a first down...but he also fumbled while running...he hasn't gotten the memo that he isn't a dual threat QB. He will be a damn good QB...its not that I don't like him....he just isn't ready yet. We will ruin his spirit if he plays 90% of the snaps.

I'm so fricken tired of this offensive look. Same shite different year. Nussmyer has to go. When I watch the other games with much lower level talent field good offenses and decent QB play it enrages me that in 8 years we can't recruit one GOOD quarterback!
After watching that shite show yesterday I've lost all respect for Coach Mac. I just don't see him ever taking UF to the level of SEC champions or beyond.

Bengal....easy now...Franks is a damn good talent but he isn't ready for prime time yet. r/s frosh Danny was pulled several times by Spurrier and even as a r/s soph he was pulled and finally he got it together.

Some QBs are ok as first time starters....but they are usually dual threats with passing skills. Franks is almost 6'6 and he is awkward and gangly...hasn't grown into his body yet. He CANNOT run around in pocket, UM loaded up and came after him...OL sucked and no fricking schemes to throw QUICK passes. They left their secondary bare and we couldn't hit shite cause Franks tried throwing moving around.

Did Nuss & Company not realize that UM was going to come after a first time starter with NO snap experience??? fricking morons. Max protect with two TEs and Thompson and throw to Cleveland to back off UM from blitzing.

Dan Marino couldn't have done much with this offense.

Went to the game yesterday and it was sad to see that OL and offensive performance. Them keeping Zaire for as long as they did pissed me off so much but just sad offensive day for sure.

Reel, you're not telling me anything I don't agree with. The o line and QB need to be one unit and they have not been in many seasons. We've had pedestrian Qb's some could have been even good but with our shitty coaching they make them look like piss.

I was hoping to wake up to news that Nuss was fired.

This.

He got absolutely nothing out of getting pulled out of that game. Let him try to make plays and bring us back. Don't bench him after a mistake. It's lazy, uncreative playcalling that puts our guys into bad situations. Let Franks take his lumps!!! Don't pull him about he was putting out the effort to try to make a play. frick.
