re: Florida fans, do you blame Mullen or McElwain for Kentucky?

They got 2 natty's from CUM, that's not too bad

It's the same problem every single year.

We don't have a viable person standing at the Quarterback position.

You can't have a functioning offense without that crucial piece and while other parts of the team were bad, none were as bad as the QB play.

Mullen inherited Feleipe Franks -- a guy cosplaying as a Quarterback, two-star Kyle Trask and True Freshman Emory Jones. Franks went for 44.7% passes on 44 dropbacks and was only hurried four times. Any team with any Quarterback throwing that badly will struggle to win.

A lot of people point at S&C, defense, etc. etc., but that game was more than winnable. Kentucky won by two possessions, but were gifted the ceremonious Feleipe Franks strip-sack touchdown at the end of the game.

I think, suffice to say, that if our defense has to hold every single team for the rest of our season to less than 14 points so our acrid offense can win, then we're in for a long season.

We fix the QB problem, we'll be okay and win a lot of games. If it remains the problem, we're looking at two more shite years. Bottom line, though, is that this is on Mullen -- specifically for believing in Feleipe Franks.

Kentucky's defense didn't cause Franks to completely misread them, he does that without the aid of opposing teams. The problem I'm referring to is:

Kentucky only scored 21 points on offense and outside of Franks being stripped sacked (it happened like three times last year, and already once this year) -- that was an entirely winnable game for us.

It wasn't like you guys scored 45 points and we could have never scored that many points. A real Quarterback playing at Florida would have absolutely changed the entire landscape of the game.

I wrote in the off-season about Franks not being able to see the field beyond 6 yards (he had zero completions over 6 yards in the Spring Game) and last week he went 4 - 22 on throws over than six yards.

The only reason Kentucky beat Florida is because our offense is a complete shitshow. 21 points at home is not insurmountable for an offense who even has a good -- no -- mediocre Quarterback. Franks is not even mediocre.

Straws hates Franks and wanted his boy Trask to win starting job...regardless of the fact Trask hasn't started a game since middle school. Franks led the Gators on a 99 yd TD drive late in the game but Straws overlooks that.

NO QB will perform well when the team is being manhandled by the their foes defense. Franks was our leading rusher with 47 yds. Once a team is one dimensional....the other team knows you have to throw. UK just flat out beat us on both sides of the lines. UKs center pushed our nose tackle around like he was on skates.

Straws wants to blame the QB...but there were plenty of blame sandwiches to share.

Has anyone blamed Muschamp yet?

Gator fans would take that in a heartbeat

Good grief, this is stupid.

Don't start threads if you don't have something reasonable to discuss.

At MSU , Mullen was 8-1 against Kentucky and undefeated when not saddled with shitty Peter Sirmon.

Now, from watching Dan for 10 years, he very well could have overlooked Kentucky and not fully prepared. That's part of his MO

You mean the Kentucky team that Rich Brooks was saddled with the effects of probation team?
