Gators win, so what
Miss St G4 team, O up
D down, onto bye
Praises:
- QB accuracy
- Dike with ball - especially special teams
- true frosh skill players
- Bridges - seems to be around ball making plays
- connecting on downfield tries
- goal line D - forcing stop/fumble in Q3 and allowing time to expire at end of game
Postulates:
- Middle 8 - tied 7-7
- Turnovers - tied 1-1
- 3 & outs - occurred 3 times - all 3 by 9:36 in Q2, 3 of first 5 possession - allowed 14 point lead build up
- Gators scored 7 times: D allowed MSU to score on the next drive 3 times, and had 2 other posessions end inside the 5 yard line
-> including Miami (scored 3 times, immediately allowed 3 scores) & A&M - (scored 3 times, immediately allowed 1 TD and 2 missed FG's)
-> out of 13 UF scores - D immediately allowed 7 scores, 2 goal line D (where clock expired on one) and 2 missed FG's
-> Only once of the 13 - did the D get a 3 & out (after 2nd TD vs. Miss St)
- Jamari Lyons - biggest difference maker missing on team. The run D and player rotation impact speaks for itself
- Gators D had 7 plays that resulted in loss yardage - 3 were sacks and half (3.5) were created by the secondary.
- The Gators scored on O despite handcuffing themselves... they took awhile to make any downfield throws - when they did - it was open all day.
- It felt like 20 of the 26 completions took place inside 5 yards from LOS. That strategy will not work against remaining SEC schedule.
- Love Lagway's deep ball potential. Also they seemed more dynamic in big play ability when the other RB's and frosh WR's were in.
- Thought Lagway got short changed in first half when on his series the RB fumbled on the second play and had to wait another 3 series before getting another opportunity
- Officiating in this game was different than what we're taught... Instead of first analyzing if the action led to an advantage and impacted the play, this crew were looking for opportunities to throw the flag and anticipating an infraction - this happened to both sides.
- With that said - when UF commits an infraction (90% rightly justified), why does it always seem to have a major consequence on the trajectory of the game
- Maybe it's just me... the noon kickoff, how the season has transpired, I watched the game without emotion, without passion... TD's scored - so what... our D continuing to allow itself to be dominated and expecting that result (outside of the first 20 minutes of the game) - no anger, no muttering... just apathy and acceptance.... I can tell you - it sucks ... its like the passion for this brand of Gators football has been sucked out of me - like watching a Billy N press conference.
- I still don't know after 4 games - which coach is in charge for calling plays on Offense and on Defense... maybe that's why the players look confused and slow. Maybe that's why the offensive playcalling seems to have no rhythm... Are the players thinking vs. just "playing" and letting their natural ability take over?
- With 4 games completed - decisions are needing to be made - especially the younger players - are they going to redshirt? Are they planning on going into the transfer portal and shut it down for the season (which will impact depth)? this might be the greatest sign as to if/when any coaching changes occur in conjuction with W/L's.
- UF clearly had better talent than Miss St (explains why Vegas had UF favored by a TD on the road), however winning this game doesn't move the needle on Napier's future and likely he'll be given a Zook exit - where he can win his final game at Ron Zook field.
Good news - with the bye - there will be at least 14 days celebrating a win as the last result and 21 days since the last loss.
