The targeting has a LOT to do with it. 3 players got thrown out out of the UK vs UF game last night for targeting. And with the escalating penalty for repeat offenders this year, kids are afraid to get tagged for it. I haven’t seen actual data but from watching the games, I think the targeting calls are up this year even though the actual intentional headhunting is way down. The officials are calling way too much shite.

Yesterday wasn't a demonstration of great tackling technique by the entire defense. Surtain was actually escorting a SC receiver downfield as another Bama DB was trying to get him on the ground.

We were also late in coverage on the simplest of passing plays. How many times did we allow those TEs to make those 7 or 8 yard catches in the flats? McKinney came up fast once or twice but that was about it.

Golding wasn't getting our guys lined up on plays we were seeing run over and over. Are we still subscribing to the Kirby Smart defensive philosophy of putting pressure on the QB? Leaving our defense out there for almost 90 plays is not good business Mr. Golding. Let's get off the field.

Not a great defensive game, or gameplan.
