Our OL getting hurt last game has made it improve dramatically immediately

Truly amazing. Down to 3rd string center, line looks the best it has all year.
Luv the new avatar.
It's because Dillard's awfulness isn't in the middle. I was hoping Jordan would start there this season for that reason. Can't have a good oline when the center gets whipped almost every play. I was done with Dillard last year when that FAU center put him on skates and pushed him back like 5 yards into the backfield. That was the play Scarlett lost like 20 yards. It was hilariously bad.
Man, and Scarlett ran his ass off too. It was like the players said, we don't care about anything or anyone...this is for us...and they did it!
Jordan is a backup at C or RG imo, he's too weak in the legs.
Fred Johnson at least continues to improve at RG. It's either him or Harkless.
Taylor is the comfirmed RT.
Sharpe needs to move in to LG, he's a good player, but he's too fat-slow for LT.
Ivey needs to play at LT, his natural position.
And as I said last week, T.J. needs to remain at center.
Next year, T.J. and Heggie can compete for, and/or share the C position.
I'm often left wondering how the starters are really chosen...
If it's solely from practice, then that might be a mistake, cause some guys are not parctice players, but they can raise to another level when the lights come on. Wuerffel was a prime example of that.
Their current problem seems to me to be that they don't play guys on game days to judge that difference, Franks and Trask being the prime examples of that this season.
Even if you wanted to redshirt them both (not best imo), they could have still given them some playing time in the early games, just to see if one or both could light it up.
Nothing more than MOHO's there, and the coaches are supposed to know a lot more than me, so they'll just continue to depend on their own judgments, cause it's certainly them that will pay the toll, when and if they get it incorrect.
While all of us fans risk nothing when expressing our opinions, except the expected abuse from our fellow fans, and more so from the rival fans, when we get it wrong...

Yet despite this we are now back to triple digits in total offense just like the same patterns under Muschamp. # 102 in total offense per game now.

^^^Geez Fever....take a breath my friend and enjoy the moment. Everyone knows this isn't a perfect team, but we just won the damn division again.
^^^ This!
And would you rather have LSU's 400+ yard game stats, or the Gator's 200+ yds win?

Muschamp never ever won the SEC East much less win it back to back. You whine about everything
So you are happy with us dropping all the way down to 102 in offense per game. That is our biggest issue right now and it is what it is. The East is bad the past couple of seasons and winning it isnt like it was in past years if the West winner beats you. I got jumped on for saying our offense wasnt heading the right direction in 2012 also despite the single loss before the bowl game. I think we are looking up more this time but it needs to happen on the field.
This is like a Trump supporter whining he did not get more of the popular vote.
No its not. Our offense is still lacking and winning a down East doesnt mean much of anything unless we follow up with another win over FSU or Bama.
Yes our offense still isn't very good but your also one of those people that complain about everything. We could beat one of Bama or FSU and you'll still bitch about something. That is just who you are.
Are we there yet? Of course not. But we just won the East 2 years in a row with a less talented team than UGA and UT on paper. Last time I checked NOBODY picked UF to win the East this year or last year.
I just dont pump sunshine unless its warranted. If we win at FSU or beat Bama this season its clearly an improvement over last season and calls for sunshine to be pumped. If we end the season like last season it will be a big disappointment again. Though it would be a lot more positive imo if the offense was getting some decent output in the losses. I think FSU is definitely a winnable game.
Dude post what you want who cares. There's a subset of people here who like to play board police. They are the same folks that blamed the offenses performance on one player and told any and everybody it would improve and now that it hasn't improved this year the argument has switched to "well what are you bitching about we won the East!" It's so transparent. The offense still isn't good AND we won the East, the two aren't mutually exclusive. And pointing out that the offense still sucks doesn't imply you're any less happy about winning the East. What sort of retarded logic is that?
Ah yes the old and tired bromide. "Hey the east sucks so it does not mean much to win it." One wonders what the fans of UGA and UT think about this "logic?"
enjoying a win and enjoying winning a championship are not the same thing as pumping sunshine." Try enjoying the win and the championship.
You're getting really frustrated, aren't you?
Still not drinking or have you finally wised up?
What does the SECe trophy look like? Do they get rings? Because all of a sudden getting to the championship is winning one? Participation ribbons for all
And you'd be bitching to high heaven if we didn't win it.
Hahahah no drinking.
And yes I get frustrated by lazy logic regardless of what anybody's point is. Think it through is all I'm saying.
So you would be more pleased if we didn't win the SEC East? What would you be saying then? I'm starting to believe you're letting your agenda influence you so much you're actually rooting for the Gators to lose. It's funny how you disappeared for a couple of days after we beat LSU. Relax, man, enjoy the victory. Tennessee has the participation trophy, according to Butch they just won "the championship of life"
Don't get me wrong denying the SEC East title to Georgia and Tenn is great news but I remember most of us Gator fans laughing at FSU for winning the ACC because they beat some joke Coastal team usually but now that the East is really down like that its supposed to be this huge deal we won it even if we don't follow up with a win in the SECCG. To me this season is putting us in the same position as last season and we need to finish with a win somewhere for it not to be a big let down again. We need a win against FSU real bad to say we have actually turned the corner at all. I think we have lost 5 of 6 games against FSU since Tebow left and that has to change. To me with the situation we are in right now FSU would be a much bigger win than LSU.
Beating that SoW will NEVER be a bigger win than beating a 2 TD favored LSU, in Death Valley, to win the SECe over tennis-sea.
Short of following up with an upset of Bama beating FSU would be a much bigger win imo. LSU may have been a big upset point spread wise but is not one of our two biggest rivals that we happen to be on a 1-5 streak against right now. An FSU win would probably do more for recruiting going forward also.
