I watched at least 3 times a Tackle totally whiffed on pass blocking. Not sure which players it was though. Our offense looked a lot better in the 25 spring game but we saw what happened during the season so maybe this will be the reverse if we are lucky.

There were mixes of completely different "strings" out there. 3rd string playing with 1st stringers, 4th and 5th string played the whole 4th quarter.

I would not put much weight into this.

I don't have skin in the game either way and thought it was a lot better than the ones under Napier.

Defense has a chance to be pretty good and as good as the skill positions are the offense will score. Also it's year 1.

Maybe the defense is just dominating

The one thing the game did was bring out the Negagators. They were waiting if the Gators didn’t look like the Superbowl champs To pounce.

Sorry but I blew sunshine with Napier last season until that was shown to be a complete joke again. I do like this coach though and knows he wants to win at all costs but that O line and QB situation has me nervous if they dont get things corrected. Everything else i lhink we can compete with most teams in the SEC but those are 2 big things that need some real work apparently.

Agreed on WRs being the best group on the team for sure.

It's probably best to not expect miracles

Every team is replacing a lot of pieces except maybe UGA. Philo has very limited playing time at GT over a 2 year period. We all know in sports there is no substitution for playing time. I hope Philo sucks as does Buster since they left my team, but the reality is Buster is a solid OC and Philo is a good QB. I expect Florida to win 8-9 games. The days of expecting double digit wins every year are long gone for a lot of programs. They just haven’t accepted it yet.

You'll see. Hope your QB has 9 lives because it's a known fact that Buster likes to basically have their QB killed every game.

Key will be fired by the end of ‘27. Buster is the best OC you have ever had clown.

doubt that

He may get fired eventually, or maybe he’ll get hired away.

But after what he inherited from Collins and what he’s done the past two years no way they’ll fire him next season
