1. The offense works better with LDR. Period. I know nobody seems to like him, but he is sharper. Two more years of playing showed that. He deserves to start. He is a good actor, and he has shown that he can open up running lanes just by waiting a second.
2. Something is changing in the fourth quarter. This is the second game where, somehow, we manage to get two touchdowns in the fourth quarter. I don't know what it is, but it can't be coincidence.
3. The team has a ton of talent, and hopefully this will get McElwain at the very least motivated.
4. 9 players down, best linebacker out, on the road against a super energized Kentucky, we pulled it out.
5. 400 yards of offense.
6. 7 plays for 80 yards, 13 plays 58 yards won the game for us, and the defense nearly cost it for us.
I think in the end of the day, the biggest thing is: How did they not know Del Rio was the guy?

Im gonna frankly stop trying to understand this team, because none of it makes sense.

1. I guess... he made a big play on 4th down, and that pass to Powell that Powell fricked up by just wandering out of bounds was nice, but the INT was REALLY bad, and the slant pass on 4th down HE STARED DOWN was also really bad. That being said, the team played better with him in. But remember - UF ALWAYS PLAYS WELL AGAINST KENTUCKY LATE. He might not have the same impact on other teams that he had on Kentucky.
2. It's called desperation. And playing UT and Kentucky - two teams that aren't very good.
3. The team has a lot of individual talent, but they are inconsistent as hell, and the defense is a mess right now.
4. They did what they had to do. Scrappy win.
5. Yes! They ran the ball far better than I thought they could.
6. Hard fought final drives.
MY OPINION - THIS STAFF DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO MANAGE A QB ROOM, AND IT SHOWS ON THE FIELD AND IN HOW THEY SELECT THEIR QBS. THIS IS ULTIMATELY WHY AT LEAST NUSS WILL EVENTUALLY LOSE HIS JOB.
Final Edit - That last 45 minutes was a lot of fun. I really like this team. They are fighters.

When I heard on TV that Del Rio was warming up...I was ecstatic. Not because I don't like Franks...he will be a great one imo....when he settles down. He could have thrown 3 picks that were dropped off richocets by WRs when Franks tried to gun high and too much mustard,
As in high school....he just gets too emotional and as a QB that's not always the best thing. He needs to learn to calm the frick down and throw with touch.
I know one thing ....my heart cant much more of this last second drama.
Oh BTW Slayer....stop blaming coaches...Franks was very ineffective for most of the game...0-6 on third downs? The coaches knew they HAD to make a change. The Int that LDR threw BTW may have been partly the WRs fault for not coming back to the pass...which I believe was the playcall. Franks stared down a few WRs my friend and he just has to settle down...it was only his third game period. Some QBs do well as true frosh...like Fromm...but look at his build, he is solid with guns. Franks is still skinny and needs the training table. He will be a great one.

We're way too conservative in quarters 1-3 and then in the 4th it appears there's a more sense of urgency. Some of the play calls are still stupid (running the toss to the short side) but the urgency is obviously greater in the 4th

What ever they do in the 4th quarter needs to start happening in the 1st.

LDR is a lot calmer then Frank's . I would hope the coaches could actually coach him him up and get him to calm down. If LDR is going to start then we need more wild cat with Toney playing QB . He had the best pass of the day and looks to be the best athlete . We can't beat good teams with LDR as the starting QB . UGA has started true freshman the last 2 years and both looked better then any QB we have had under Mac .
This offense is still a complete mess and we need a major change . Nuss needs to be fired ASAP . I would rather let LDR call plays then Nuss.
We have play makers on offense but the coaches can't seem to find ways to get them the ball. Toney should be returning kicks.
I don't under stand why the offense changes in the 4 quarter and actually looks like an offense. Are we going to have to wait till the play calling cost us games before we make a change ? I would like to see Mac get pissed and actually show he cares about this sad offense.

Another thing that is weird is: Comeback wins. Florida usually doesn't win like this. Usually we just give up, let the other team win pretty easily.
Watching us do it a couple times a year is kind of baffling.
The good news is: We beat Kentucky at home, who beat SC at home (handily). Georgia is the only real team on our schedule that is gonna threaten us.
LSU is horrible, A&M has no defense to speak of and Vanderbilt just got wrecked.
