Franks ceiling is 10 wins. Dude just makes some dumbass throws right after he just made a great throw. Reminds me of a post Spurrier Grossman.

Oline pleasantly surprised me with pass protection but they can’t run block worth a damn.

Can’t judge the running backs too much, they never got a hole to run through. Perine looked good on that TD grab.

Receivers looked good when they threw to them. Really good at blocking.

Dline looked great, secondary was meh and we can’t tackle worth a damn.

Looked good on special teams except for 2 plays. I believe we will always win that phase of the game under Mullen.

Play calling was puzzling. I loved the aggressiveness on 4th and the fake punt but I will never understand why we go away from Toney right after he puts the fear of God into the defense.

The refs were straight garbage tonight.

A win is a win is a win and I am happy. This is only the second time I have seen UF beat Miami in my life. I am a happy Gator tonight.

I hope a lot of the errors and miscues on the field were week zero first game jitters.

Go Gators

Looks like we need to pass the ball to open up the run just like last year . Seems like OL has been a big weakness for way to many year .

Toney may have gotten dinged up in the first half, which would explain why he was absent for the second.

Miami's running backs
21 carries
132 yards
6.3 YPC

Florida's running backs
19 carries
38 yards
2.0 YPC

Our running backs don't suck. We need the OL to gel.
Miami has a good front 7 and I knew it would be tough sledding against them and we had 2 DT's out and another one with a season ending injury.

We did not accept yardage losses and tried to make great plays against DL pressure when we needed to secure the football and take the 2 yard loss or no gain. Miami had pressure on our 2nd and 3rd possessions of the game and caused 2 fumbles because we didn't secure the ball. Once it was a RPO and Fransk and the RB fumbled the exchange, another was Malik Davis trying to pick the ball up and run with it after fumbling the pitch instead of covering it.

After exercising my 24 hour rule on commenting on games, here is my bad, ugly and good on Saturday's win over scUM.

The bad
1) Tackling, unacceptable.
2) Run blocking, how good is scUMs D Line?
3) Franks decision making at times.
4) Pass coverage, tackle the receiver style.

The ugly
1) Penalties
2) Players attitudes, showboating, just embarrassing
3) General lack of team play

The Good
1) D Line pass rush
2) Playmakers made plays when they got the ball
3) Special teams
4) They found a way to win the game!

Sloppy first game against a determined rival, the Gators fought thru adversity and found a way to win.
I am not giving up on this team after 1 game and will continue to pull for anyone that wears the orange and blue. Any supposed fan that doesn't do this needs to get a life and pick another team to root for. Calling our team and our players trash among other worse names doesn't help anything.
A win over scUM is never easy, some of our best Gator teams throughout history struggled to win, or lost to the Canes. No one is happy about some of what went on Saturday night. UF now has 2 weeks to get ready for the next game, to learn from the mistakes and correct them. I have my tickets for the home opener and will travel 12hrs to support the team and whatever players take the field because if nothing else that is what George Edminson taught us to do and what the phrase, "In all kind of weather, we'll all stick together for FLORIDA," meant.
Go Gators, 1-0, you can't win them all if you don't win the first one!!

Completely off the wall but why doesn't Grimes get the ball more? He was on the other side of the field and caught Kadarius Toney when he trotted for 6.

How fast is this kid!?

Although Miami pulled out the bling chains and acted like jackasses during the game, most of the talk was how Franks acted like a jackass. This is on Mullen. He needs to have some one on one talk with Franks and show him some baker mayfield and manziel jackass videos. Discipline
