re: Expectation vs Reality

Hopefully we're not like that 2014 UF team who finished what...7-5?

I agree to a degree with you. Again, watching the game live and knowing we were chasing points and seemingly unable to get any makes you perceive everything as bad. The gameplan wasn't terrible. We threw high percentage throws, we pushed the ball downfield, we ran the rock...we did everything we typically do...

But go back and look at the execution again. With fresh eyes and no panic of the outcome. There were 2 or 3 runs in the first half that Swift or Zeus break for long runs if we hold our blocks or don't let guys go free; it's an explosive play or drive continues. Drive continues if Mays doesn't get blown up on 2nd down after a successful 1st down, and then whiff on 3rd down. Drives continues if Wilson doesn't get blown up by Kenlaw and Fromm doesn't get cute and makes the better decision to throw it away instead of throwing his pick 6. Drive continues if we don't get a holding penalty on Big Ben behind the play and get behind the sticks. Everything, I mean everything, that could have went wrong did. Injuries, missed assignments, lack of effort, poor decisions, missed field goals, fumble, interceptions...everything!

Our execution was shat...moreso than the playcalling and that's coming from a person that thought the opposite on Saturday. We had so many opportunities...hopefully it's one game and not a sign of things to come.
