gonna get that deadly COVID.
you should stop watching, you might get it too.
I think that's a little over the top.
People here begged for Charlie Strong but he's a bend but don't break guy. I was there in Auburn on the front row when we lost in 2006. Our DBs were playing 8-10 yards of the LOS so of course they dinked and dunked us.
just like when I was in the Swamp in 2005 whenJay Cutler ripped us apart on 5 yard slants.
no DC is perfect, and Grantham has plenty of flaws, but the fact that all anybody talks about is our defense is silly.
Defense has a lot of work to do. I thought the game against Ole Miss was an anomaly, but I was completely wrong.
You still feel this way?
I too had that flashback to the six fumble game and Reed fumbling as he was about to score. I think it was Jordan Reed. Rough day.still feel that way.
Grantham has plenty of flaws. I'd be fine with firing him, don't get me wrong, but no one in the SEC seems to be too hot on defense this year.
Davis fumbling at that moment in the game is theworst thing I've seen since the end of the UGA game in 2012.
losing 13-10 wouldn't make anybody happy either, but I suppose we can't talk about how on fire the offense is simply because we're giving up too much on defense.
magazine, an effing decade of bad offense and we can't enjoy anything because we're not finishing games 45-12 I guess.

I agree but we have to get better on defense or we’re going to have to listen GAWA, Gwinnet and company another year.it was Jordan Reed.
good news is we're not out of it.
There is a notable lack of aggressive energy on our defense.No passion.
still feel that way.

I think it’s safe to say that LSU is a must win now.
I can't remember a Gator defense this bad - and I'm 68!. And it's virtually every aspect that is lacking. No pass rush, poor run defense, bad tackling, missed assignments, standing around in the zone and can't cover man-to-man, linebackers and safeties not filling gaps, no energy, no passion - I'm sure there are some other defensive qualities I'm forgetting, but the point is obvious. This is a terrible defense, one that doesn't get "fixed" in a week of practices or team meetings. It will take running the table to get in the playoffs, but there just ain't no way we even come close to that goal.
You DO realize Vandy held this team to 17 points, right? I'm not saying we need to have the best defense in America, but is it ok to not be happy with a defense that is this much worse than VANDY?
Your analysis is right on the money, IMO.A calm day later, and I haven't read this thread, I'm just posting my own thoughts...
1) As to the defense 3 games in: It's time to replace older starters with the younger guys. I'm not saying that will flip the situation instantly, but at least it will give the young guys game experience and work towards a better future down the road. It's not like the defense could get much worse with the younger guys. The guys that have been here for 4-5 years have shown in 3 games, who and what they are... 😏
2) To the current secondary: You are now officially Ho-dunk-U, no longer DB-U.
I'd take away their 'Game-Boys' first, that wasted time would be better spent in the film room. Then I'd spend half of practice every day with them on the tackling dummies. About half of the defense doesn't know, or if the know they don't do it, WRAP UP AND TACKLE TO THE GROUND. I would replace 3 of the 4 DB's with hungry young guys and work towards the future. There are a few exception on the defense that this doesn't apply to, but it's damn few at this point. 🤓
To the one's that this applies to,,, excuses = yap-yap-yap = ZZZZZzzzzzzzzzz
3) At this point, the ole iG would go to 3 down linemen with 4 LB's.
Stop trying to sack the QB and instead STOP the runs and the short passing game.

"It was a great day of football, great atmosphere here. Crowd was certainly a factor in the game, I will certainly say that," Mullen said. "I know our governor passed that rule, so certainly, hopefully the university administration decides to let us pack the Swamp against LSU … 100 percent, because that crowd was a major factor in the game. So, I certainly hope our university administration follows the governor. Governor Ron DeSantis (R) has passed a rule that we're allowed to pack the Swamp and have 90,000 in the Swamp to give us the home-field advantage Texas A&M had."
Sorry coach and fans, it's not really about safety at UF, it all about liberal politics in Gainesville and at UF, as always. But sshhh, don't tell anyone, because it's such a well kept secret.... 🥴
PS
Without drastic changes on D, they will be lucky to finish 7-3 this season....
DB-U??? From 2 of the best in the SEC & Nation, to 2 of the worst...
SEC Passing Defense Rankings:
#12 UF - 331.0 Yds/Gm
#14 LSU - 380.7 Yds/Gm
I have no explanation for this fiasco, on the part of either team's defense....
==========
The silver lining for UF is the passing offense.
Trask - 74 of 103 for 71.8%, 996 Yds, 14 TD's, 1 Int, in 3 Gms.
ZZZZZzzzzzzzzzz
says the guy that loves every coach until he's fired and then immediately turns on him.
Says the total scumbag that has given his daughter up to another man to be raised.. 😏
As usual, spot on!Grantham is garbage and has been for years. Mullen’s program isn’t going anywhere until that useless clown is fired.

Dude has been average at best for several years. Can't hide from that fact. If we are going to make the leap to national title contender Dan needs to upgrade the D coordinator position.Then fire that dumb-azz Dan for hiring him as his DC to begin with, and then giving him a raise to retain his services.
Dan's obviously not as football smart as the few Grantham detractors here are....
He's struggled this year for sure.I just dont know whats going on but is Marco Wilson going to do better things for the team or what. Not the same Marco Wilson I have seen in the past.
