Predictable and Boring

[aecho]

This offense has no innovation and is painful to watch. I see the other teams play and there is all kinds of movement, they line up in different formations, change the pace (we did it twice today) and so on. Seems like we play to run out the clock, hope the D holds and escape with a victory. Don't know if it's the OC or the HC wanting this product on the field but this offense is flat out boring.

We aren't executing worth a damn. I dont know what happens the rest of the season. I don't think our starting QB is capable of placing a team on his shoulders against a good SEC defense. I hope I am wrong on that however. Our running game hasn't been good the whole season considering the competition level. Scarlett ran hard today.

I went for another drive at half time,,, watched the 2nd half on speed review again...

This offense is going to be predictable and boring, look at out HC and OC. Its what they do. But remember, Mr "Title IX" Jeremy Folley. "The fans said they wanted offense so that is what I went and got".

So glad orlut next coach will be hired by a new AD!!!!

I know it's got to suck that it's already freezing, but it shouldn't effect your tiny ice cubes.

Mac would do well to get an innovative guy and hand over the reigns.

I never understood why he got pub as some sort of offensive genius. He's decent but his offenses have never been big time. The offenses at Bama were methodical, rarely had big plays, and just stayed out of the way of the defense. They won the 09' championship game with like 60 passing yards or something ridiculous. That's why Saban encouraged Nuss to move on when he was ready to revamp their offense, the system they were running was held over from Mac. The QB and the passing game were always the weak links for Bama and we somehow thought hiring those guys was the key to an offensive resurgence. Makes no sense.

Yes, Inhave just recently become critical of Nuss. I loved the hire when it was made

No, you've always hated him.

But I'm sure by Monday you'll be gone again until sometime late in the LSU game to rain down your wisdom (unless, God forbid, we knock it out of the park).

Just like all season.

Nuschamp.

Okay, I'll admit to laughing at that mix...

The swamp donkey and Nusschamp are limited in what they can do with a below average offensive line and a club footed QB who has limited mobility.( Treon at least made defenses respect his running ability) Nusschamps passing attack is built off the run and play action passing. Lizzerds have a average oline, running backs, and only one real game breaker Callaway at receiver which will make it difficult to move the ball and score on good atheltic defenses.

You know, with all this amazing football knowledge of yours, maybe you should go over to the board of your professed team and spread some of it around. Barely making it to 2-2, I would think that would be your concern, rather than what goes on at Florida.

Seems like you 'think' you know a lot about Gator and/or SEC football.
I just wonder why you almost NEVER want to talk about your own doomer-swooners?
That 'Big Game' slob-swoops dude is a much better coach than UF ever has.

What I remember is a lot of nailed-head yapping to begin this season, with Choke-la-homa highly ranked and UF out of the Top 25. What I see now is a bit different.

18. UF 4-1 - 1-1 SEC

20. Choke-la-homa 2-2 - 1-0 with a dust-bowl choker defense that just gave up 46 points.
And your chokers beat a Big-whatever team that gave up 52 pts.
I've always been impressed with those Big-whatever defenses... (UF 24 - 14 OK)

We were a 14 point favorite on the road against a SEC team and won by 7. Played an uninspiring game but still won. Not great. But it could be worse.

We could have been a 10.5 home favorite and lost. That would really suck donkey balls.

And would have won by 14 if Appleby hadn't fumbled on the goal line.

Foley tried to burn this football program down to the ground i guess.

Muschamp was in over his head and Mac being an offensive genius is comical.

We were only favored by 10 yesterday

 

[sadgator]

The better question is: why are we not a 20+ point favorite over Vandy?

 

[sadgator]

And anybody who uses the spread to make themselves feel better about Saturday's game must have been awarded a lot of participation trophies (still displayed) growing up.

Fisher did it again

Wasn't the over/under something like 41? In retrospect that was rather generous.

 

[oozie7]

I don't care about the spread. And in some cases, the score can be irrelevant too as long as you win. I do care about execution, and doing basic things right. And we're on game 5 and can't do basic things correctly. And we got manhandled by Vandy. Those are things you just can't excuse away. Vandy has one of the worst offenses in the country and outgained us, and were more creative doing it.

sad, here is some 'reasonable perspective' for you to consider on that question.
And all four of these Gator coaches beat the snot outta VU most years,,, however....

1996 with the HBC, mNC -- UF 28 - 21 VU (2-9) -- +7
1999 with the HBC, -- (9-4) UF 13 - 6 VU (5-6) -- +7

2002 with the Zookster -- (8-5) UF 21 - 17 VU (2-10) -- +4

2005 with the Urban liar -- (9-3) UF 49 - 42 VU (5-6) -- +7
2006 with the BCS-NC -- (13-1) UF 25 - 19 VU (4-8) -- +6

2011 with musclecramp -- (7-6) UF 26 - 21 VU (6-7) -- +5
2013 with musclecramp -- (4-8) UF 17 - 34 VU (9-4) -- -17
(his reasonable caveat for that loss was the 72 lost starts due to injuries + VU's best team in decades)

2015 with Mc-Nuss -- (10-4) UF 9 - 7 VU (4-8) -- +2
2016 with Mc-Nuss -- (3-1) UF 13 - 6 VU (2-2) -- +7

VU always does 'more with less' than any other team, at least when they play the hated UF.
They've come within 13 pts of beating 2 of UF's 3 NC teams, with 2 of our best coaches, which would have knocked the Gators out of even playing for the NC.

 

[MJWilliamson]

Yep.

And a large segment of Gator fans still would have bitched

 

[MJWilliamson]

I thought so too. But according to this site, the closing line was 14.

 

[MJWilliamson]

Fisher did it again

The gifts that keeps on giving.

Now we have to hope that he has at least one more egg to lay this season. Sadly for us, by that time, beating Florida might be the only meaningful thing left for the FSU season.

All i did was correct the spread


don't shoot sad

Vandy has one of the worst offenses in the country and outgained us, and were more creative doing it.

I agree about Vandy being a bad offense. I disagree they were creative. The two views are not consistent.

Vandy had one basic run play they ran over and over and over. That little counter,trap play. We never did really stop it until the end of the game. The fake toss sweep and QB rollout they threw to the TE or RB was almost always effective. Anzalone was almost always out of position for that play. Vandy went with the philosophy if what we are doing on offense is working, keep doing it till they figure out how to stop it. I was very annoyed that Collins could not find an answer for an offense that ran only a few basic plays.

Even with all that, Vandy had what, around 250 yards on offense and 6 points? Can't really complain about the defense with those numbers. Those numbers almost always mean a win.
