Gators averaging 34 points a game before today. 44th nationally. They showed this stat at the start of the game. In '08 We averaged 36 a game which was 8th nationally.
My mind is blown that we ran 92 plays. That's incredible. The offense line played well at times. Very balanced offense.
I know a lot of us wanted Chip Kelly at the beginning because his brilliant no offense of mine but for me I always questioned whether he would have his heart in Gainesville or not. That was not a question I had of Dan Mullen. He knows what it's like to be in Gainesville and live there. Chip just did not want to do it. Kelly would have been much better off coming to Gainesville but he did not want to deal with the toughness of the SEC and having to make changes in his life he wanted the West Coast he got it.This is with a roster that was 4-8 last year. Thats both an indictment on butters and a compliment to Dan. We navigated a minefield. Just look at how the othet coaches are doing
If Butters was coach we would have lost like 35-9 it’s nice seeing some explosive plays and a team that doesn’t quit when they get down by multiple possessions! I know it’s just Vandy but the way our guys fight is just amazing!
Two things:
-Amazingly reduced number of injuries at Game 7 compared to years past. Go Savage!
-We are improving week to week. We haven’t seen that steady upward trend in many years. That’s coaching!
Rotating players a bunch helps a lot too.The difference in injuries is mind blowing.
Vandy has a decent defense. Nothing spectacular but decent but I certainly get your drift. The play calling inside the 10 is sometimes weird for sure.Other than it being Vandy, it is nice to see the offensive output. I just wish we would t pucker inside the 10 yard line.
You said it. They have shown no quit. They deserve some yeses.but they have 4 full quarters of fight in them
Really. Who wouldathunkit?92 plays. What did we have against UT? 45?
