My only problem with this is Batoon let Kamario stand in his spot and throw deep. IMHO, loop a LB around and get him off his spot. If he still makes those deep throws, we'll so be it.
The reason I called Barry and Idiot is because he knew he wasn't an ace recruiter from his time at Mizzou. Any Blue Chip player in his area will choose between ND, OSU and Michigan ( and now maybe Indiana), so now the NIL bag comes into play, oops that's empty.

If he keeps winning at UNLV, his name co.es up for the Arkansas job because they waited so long and were desperate. Iowa State would have been better. This year, Colorado may be looking, NC State may be in play, Maryland will fire Lockley. Dan Mullen is at UNLV to win and Rehab. But when you are in rehab mode, you have to be selective about your next P4 move. There won't be a 3rd chance.
I know there is no way in hell a Florida fan would consider Mizzou a rivalry game but CoMo is a cursed place for Florida to play. I've seen several UF fans post they were worried when they saw "at Mizzou" on the schedule.

Im not worried about Drink opening it up at Ole Miss. They will be ready for Simmons and Lee. They will play 4 quarters which will force Drink to banish the turtle.
Barry is an idiot. Should have stayed at UNLV, get more wins, and earn a job with a decent chance of winning. To take the Purdue job when you are not an ACE recruiter and you don't have a 30 million NIL bag is career suicide. He may have gotten an Arkansas offer and had more talent to work with.

We needed the MSU loss to convince Eli to get out of Simmons way.

Just saw a TikTok on Dowells play that doesn't show up in the stats. On run plays neither the center or guard could stop him from flowing with the run, preventing a cut into the hole and basically feeding the RB to tacklers. And on passes Donta Simpson was running through paper to the QB.

The DTs should be building alot of confidence
Arkansas fan because they just got a new coach, so they are stuck with him for a few more seasons. South Carolina fan will be fired up with their new coach next year.

OK but why the move? Was it size on that side, or is the DE depth that bad? Any explanation?
Coaches are supposed to be more connected to the game than writers. So how do coaches ignore a 28 point win and rank UF higher than Mizzou?
Don't get me wrong. The play calling was much better. It made Simmons the focus and not zone running. But you could tell when the turtle came out. Roberts just pushed the turtle away and ran those 2 long runs.
Eli did coach not to lose. The team just overcame him.

1. Last possession before halftime. Drink drains the clock and then passes for FG position. He didn't use the clock to attack for a TD and plan the FG as a 2nd option. He drains the clock because he fears a turnover and leaving too much time for UF to respond.

2. Roberts 77 yard run was actually a give up run call. All the Gators did the weirdest thing. They piled on top of each other facing the sideline. No one sees the spin until he's at full speed running past them.

3. Roberts 80 yard run. Easy, UF defender doesn't cover his gap. If he does, Roberts can't hit the hole full speed. At this point you don't expect Drink to be aggressive, he likes the UF coach.

Drink likes to talk trash, but he still needs to develop that killer instinct.
To be fair, most Athletic Departments show a loss because;

1. Athleric Departments technically aren't a part of the University system. They are stand alone non-profits.

2. AD's pay the University for athletes tuition, books, food etc. The University credits the AD back the following year for out of state tuition and charges the AD for all out of state athletes in State tuition. This helps the AD post more expenses.

3. The NIL collective is also a non-profit not connected to the University system.

4. Only the ivy League has the school control the AD and they don't offer sports scholarships.

Nuke, what's the best way to contact you on a military question?

Sack numbers mean very little. If a player gets 2 sacks in a game, it sounds good but its only 2 plays out of 60 snaps. IMHO pressure and disruption is more important. If you apply pressure the QB has to hurry, the field shrinks, short yardage check downs are used also turnovers are more prevalent when pressure is applied. I like Hopkins because he has really good " QB pressure" numbers.

This is just my opinion, but I would like to see us cut a LB loose similar to how LSU used Perkins his Freshman year. He was the guy constantly pressuring the QB into mistakes and also piling up sacks, I think 3 vs Arkansas. I believe that's how we beat MSU today.

Gonna disagree. South Carolina has excellent edge rushers and MSU handled them, and threw those long passes to their fast receivers. Hopkins will grow to be good but he's not Dylan Stewart, and not as quick as Addison.

Getting Taylor off his spot especially running to his right would be massive for us.

Blitz, blitz, and blitz again. Hes an over the top passer, get him off his spot at all costs. The DE's don't produce the kind of rush alone, they were always gonna need blitz help no matter if Smith played or not.

If we sit back, this kid will pick us apart. We need the Blake Baker blitz plan.

"Overlooking" meaning players know when coaches aren't putting in new plays to attack a specific weakness, or making defensive adjustments to confuse the QB. They know coaches are holding back and saving the "real stuff" for MSU. And no matter how much the coaches try to convince players that every game is important, players start looking toward MSU.

I will see your comment and raise you;

Cotton Bowl vs OSU was the best complete game by Drink.

Same year vs Tennessee with Blake Baker sprinting down the field following a pick 6.

Focus on the good ones, the rest will drive you crazy.
