After that all around gut-wrenching performance yesterday, you better hope our team can pull it together real quickly.

It is true that many teams have lost en route to a national championship (i.e. Clemson in 16, and Ohio St. in 14). But we also cannot forget the other teams that have started out higher ranked, containing all star recruits, who went on to take a nosedive midseason (Auburn in 14)

We all remember Tebow's passion after losing to Ole Miss in 2008, going on to make his famous speech that resulted in their national title bid. Am I a bad fan for wanting our QB, Jake Fromm, to mimic that intensity? To put the team on his back? Fromm's strengths are supposed to be his leadership abilities, and mental awareness. When are we going to see that sort of drive from our star QB?

When Fromm has to put the team on his back, it doesn't generally go well

that whole thing seemed forced and fake as frick. I hope jake doens't publicly do something liek that. It's also worth pointing out that UF was much, much better than everyone else on their schedule after ole miss. I'm not sure we're much, much better than UF/AU/Miz this year.

No you are not a bad fan to want our QB to be this type of leader... the issue is I don’t think he’s gifted physically enough to do it... I wish he was.

I prefer to have have a game changer who needs to be taught how to mange a game.

Than a game manager who can’t change the game when needed.

My main concern is those teams truly had a game where they were off whereas it felt like we’d been showing cracks all season and it finally all showed at once. Against a 2-3 team.

This team absolutely deserved to get punched in the mouth and they needed it if they have any shot at winning vs the November slate. The attitudes and effort coming out of fall camp, from the coaching staff on down, have been doo doo. Now we’ll see what kind of staff and team we have - Kentucky won’t tell the story. We’ll know by halftime of the Florida game though and color me skeptical because I think this team is akin to 2010 Alabama. Load of talent but too much broken to fix.
