Total O and Total D

Putting up those numbers all while having our top DL, top LB and top WR out for the last few weeks.

Not to mention, Stetson with a shoulder injury (extent unknown)

Let's say those players are back (supposed to be by 10/29) and we blow out UF, I have a feeling that the team we saw against Oregon will be that team the rest of the way and we aren't losing.

I don't think we realized at the time how big a loss AD was. We probably knew that losing Carter would be huge considering he's a likely top 5 pick, but it's night and day different on the DL without him.

Like you said I think getting those guys back healthy (along with hopefully a healthy Ladd, Arian, and Smael) is going to really help us big time.

AD being such a good deep threat seemed to really open up the middle of the field for our TEs and McConkey to get good YAC.

Losing Carter was a blessing in disguise.

It forced the coaches to find position solutions that will hopefully free up Carter when he returns (i.e. not playing so much 0 tech on early downs as he did before the injury).

We have a bunch of DL making plays without Carter where consistency is the biggest question. They will see a bump in production with Carter drawing attention and disrupting the line.

I don't feel like we took advantage of that in ADs absence. I would have liked a little more experimentation. I'm not at practice, so I'm sure there are things dictating to the coaches who is best where.

I think Bear is really coming into his own. Those two will wreck opposing lines themselves. This is shaping up quite nicely.

I feel like we have all been waiting on this for the last ~4 weeks.

Every play, all you see is an OLineman grabbing is chest area as he barrels past them on a bull rush.

I guess it should now be called a Bear rush.
