17 points "seems" respectable.........until you consider, it was Vandy. What, they've beaten us once in 32 years?
It's not looking good on that side of the ball. I'll tell you that. To have a chance against Matt Jones, we better not need to punt the entire game.400 yards of offense to an 0-6 team with a true frosh QB. That equates to giving up 800 yards to Bama.
Told you Joey Gatewood was terrible.I have a bad feeling the Gator D will shine on Saturday.
Those few fans that seem to hate Grantham are correct on how bad his Def is....
Florida currently ranks No. 1 in the SEC in sacks per game with 3, and
No. 2 in tackles-for-loss per game with 6.43. 🤓
You're misrepresenting what Dan said. He said he TOLD Grantham to start rotating players in because he wasn't doing it early in the game they way Mullen wanted him to. So no, the mass confusion we saw early in the game wasn't due to planned substitutions because we weren't subbing in young players then. Otherwise Dan wouldn't have had to tell him to do it. It was due to Grantham idiotically trying to match personnel against a tempo team. Grantham doesn't even know who his best players on defense are to the point Mullen has to tell him to put other people in the game. That's pathetic.
And you do realize Grantham has been fired from 2 of the last 3 jobs he's had correct? See, I can selectively pick stats too. And in each of the last two years his 'Top 10 defenses' gave up 33 points per game in our losses including stellar performances like 300 yards rushing given up to Kentucky. But at least he can bully UT Martin
Your points are good but it took someone (Mullen) to light a fire under them. You can’t depend on the offense every time.Gator fans mourn while they suffer through yet another huge double digit (+24) SEC win.
It's all the fault of Grantham's dumb defensive system that forced an early punt on Kentucky's first 2 drives but then allowed UK a whole 10 1st half points. Todd is given little credit for then not allowing Kentucky to score another point and limiting them to just 46 2nd half yards and his guys getting 3 Ints in the game. Kentucky's six second-half drives all ended poorly: Punt, interception, punt, turnover on downs, interception, interception, proving yet again just how stupid Todd's D is.... 😏
While the Mullen offense scored a quick TD, and then went fumble, punt, punt, constantly forcing the D right back on the field. Thank gawd that the ST's bailed out the offense for a 14-10 half time lead. (is it Todd's fault that Dan's offense only scored 14 pts vs VU or 7 pts vs UK in the 1st half of their games?)
Anyone notice that when the offense plays better, so does the defense, and vice versa. Maybe Dan should have been looking into a mirror when he threw his little 1st half sideline tantrum..... I guess it's a good thing that they both ate some 'smart pills' during halftime....
Commentators view: "Florida was reeling defensively, unable to get off the field."
iG's view: Florida's defense was being worked because the offense couldn't sustain a single drive in the entire 1st half, after their quick 1st possession TD drive. The ToP is on both the offense and the defense, not just the defense. 🤓
PS -- Oh BTW, for those concerned about fumbles, did 3-star RB Malik Davis fumble twice, or should others (4-star RB & 5-star WR) be taking the T-O fumble heat? Or do fumbles only matter in away games that are 3 Pt 'walk-off' losses???
PSS -- UK came into the game with the SEC's leading pass defense. However, Todd's D only gave up a total of 62 passing yards to UK for the game while getting 3 Ints....
Todd Granthams supposedly incompetent defense was able to hold Kentucky to 0 points, 46 total yards, 2 first downs and 0-for-5 on 3rd & Grantham in the 2nd half. A near-elite performance that was capped with an interception by one of the young (tFr Johnson) DB's. (Todd's recruits are coming on, like Diabate among others)
Others see things differently, and that's just fine with me.... 😇

Right Jeff, and since 1988 UF has NEVER had 3 games in a season vs the same level of competition.
Allowing me to see that fans can both figure and lie out of both sides of their mouths.... 🤓 😏 😇

Unlike some of the Gator snowflake fans, Grantham not panicking over defense, instead he's focusing on four fixes.
"I think No. 1 is that we’ve played really good defense around here and that we’ve been able to win a lot of games," Grantham said Tuesday night. "The bottom line is you win games. Right now I believe today we’re the winningest staff over the last three years coming in new as far as number of wins. So obviously we’re doing something right." (as the iG's been saying, the inconsistency of the Jimmies and the Joes, primarily in the secondary)
"When you go back to that last game, at the end of the day, the last eight possessions, they had seven points. When you look at it, there were like nine plays for 218 (yards) and there were like 67 plays or 65 plays for 188. I mean, that’s like a low number, OK? So it’s like I told the guys: I said, ‘These nine plays, how do we fix those?’ If you just reduce it to half of that, you’re holding teams under five yards a play, which would put you as a premier defense in the country."

Here is another take on the D.

Lizzy, you don't seem to agree with Dan's evaluations, but I'm sure that you're a whole lot smarter than he is concerning football coaching...
Mullen: Grantham Has Done 'A Great Job' With Florida Gators' Defense
“I think he’s done a great job," Mullen responded. "Look at what we’ve done in different games and adjustments we make in the course of the game."
Florida ranks 2nd the SEC in sacks with 23 and 1st in tackles for loss with 41.
Mullen: Grantham Has Done 'A Great Job' With Florida's Defense
Florida Gators head coach Dan Mullen went to bat for his defensive coordinator on Monday.www.si.com
Lizzy says Dan's a liar and doesn't know what he's doing as the HC....
UF finished the 2019 season ranked 7th nationally in scoring defense (15.5 points), posted 3 shutouts for the 1st time since 1988, and was one of two FBS teams (Ore. being the other) to hold 5 opponents without an offensive touchdown. The 23 offensive touchdowns allowed by the Gators last season were tied for the 4th-lowest total nationally, and the fewest they surrendered since 2012.
So Lizzy says fire that dumb-azz incompetent Todd and hire someone better,,,, which is???? 😏
This would make sense IF EVERYBODY ELSE IN HERE DIDN'T AGREE WITH ME.
And yeah, I do say FIRE THAT DUMB AZZ INCOMPETENT.
Hire someone better than Grantham? Plenty to choose from.
Grantham is really an NFL guy and for some reason tries to be the smartest guy in the room and tries to run a defense that is too exotic and complicated for college kids to be running. We have the talent and athletes that we don’t have to running crazy defense. At this point just simplify it and let our athletes make plays. Too much thinking and confusion going on. All we need is an average defense and we have a chance to win a SEC/National title.
His defenses have been ranked high when it comes to stats, etc but it is fools gold. We have typically feasted on offenses that are weaker and we just overwhelm them. When we played against a decent offense or decent QB we would get exposed.One of the main issues i see is tackling. If his scheme is too exotic how were the Gators good on defense his first 2 years? These player just not get it or are these players just not as good? Maybe its both but ive seen a lot of bad missed tackles and misplays on this as simple as a bubble screen. Hell at times you guys have looked worse than us on defense.... Thats hard to do
1) I must have missed that vote where everyone else here agreed with little Lizzy. (more fake news)
2) Your own BS opinion which doesn't agree with Dan's public statements.
3) Let's see YOUR list of betters that are a) available, b) interested in the job.
4) You're FoS, but then that's just my own opinion, as I don't need to claim that everyone else here agrees with me....
Numbers.... it's not just tackling. Hell.......our guys don't even know where to line up!! They have to sprint on the field every other play and most aren't even set before the ball is snapped. I swear it's like Willie took over our defense. 🤣One of the main issues i see is tackling. If his scheme is too exotic how were the Gators good on defense his first 2 years?

This has been a problem from game one. Mostly in up tempo situations. players(or coaches) should recognize this and act accordingly. The defense being on its heels is the result.Numbers.... it's not just tackling. Hell.......our guys don't even know where to line up!!
