All those teams lost and I can't gloat!
- Thread starter GatorTheo
- Start date
Can't gloat, but definitely happy the aggies and domers lost. At the end of the day we lost to the expected SEC East runner up and a top 25 opponent....and not to app state or Marshall.
At least we won't have to deal with the media being as focused on UF.

Not sure the deal with all of them but I know A&Ms QB looked shaky in that first game also. I am too worried about our possible QB situation to even think much about them now.
As far as I can tell, Richardson is a better version of Emory Jones. Maybe he can be an adequate passer as long as we can run well. If teams can stop our run, we're in trouble.
Well, if you look at it reasonably and objectively, we all knew there would be growing pains with a new staff and system…as good as they looked in Game 1, Florida wasn’t ever gonna win the East or go undefeated in league play…
that being said, those A&M guys really thought this was the year they could win something…lol…App St. They are all feeling ripped off this morning…

Richardson just had an off night, it was his first start against an SEC team and first time I saw him not play well. New staff with new everything. Growing pains are expected. I was surprised at the playcalling a bit (I would run Richardson more but maybe they are afraid of injury). If you take out about 3 plays, the Gators dominated for the majority of the game.
I hope that isn't true but if it is Napier needs to play to his strengths somehow. Unless he isn't good at throwing while rolling out I don't understand why we don't do that more with him stressing the defense with his running ability. Also the TEs would be a good option with a QB that can run like that but maybe they just aren't good options I don't know.
Richardson has to run. Whether it is his choice or Napier’s or whoever’s. If he doesn’t use his legs he’s not going to be effective. I don’t know why he didn’t run last night. Was it his choice? Was it Napier’s? There was zone read calls and other opportunities for him to run and he never did it.
AR can't have just 6 carries for us to win. He needs 12-15 per game. Can't worry about him getting hurt.
It was like AR forgot what football is.
Richardson is a very good athlete. He could not run because UK’s defense was gap sound and had a Linebacker spy for AR
Shouldn’t matter. More times than not he will win a 1v1 battle against a LBer.
I almost want to say it was his decision to stay in the pocket because he wants to become better in that sense, which makes him the complete dual-threat However, he's yet to learn that if it isn't there he needsto haul ass outta Dodge. Napier should remind him of that option. He's a big enough kid to physically handle the impact he'll take from opposing defenders.
I would roll him out some on obvious passing downs unless he has an accuracy issue throwing while rolling out. It would at least open some passing things up a little with teams having to respect his running ability so much. Cam Newton used to kill teams rolling out on those downs.
Pretty sure that wasn't the game decider. We played like crap on offense, bad execution
Sorry doc but the defense was wilting in the end. We punt there and probably don’t see the ball again. It didn’t work out but I think it was the right call.
You still have to play it safe there. On your own end is never the right call when you still can stop the clock. The defense only had to stop the run there, Stoops would force Florida to burn their TO's.
We had so many chances on offense, both ints turned into TD's and we struggled to even pick up a first down. Offense cost us the game and that first TD before the half turned the momentum against us and we never got it back.
You are right in most cases, however I think CBN saw the defense making stops only to have to rush back out there on defense after failing on offense. The risk was losing AND demoralizing the defense.
All is not lost...AR will bounce back if he's the QB we all hope/think he is. He's had less than a handful of starts.
