***OFFICIAL GAME THREAD: UF vs Charleston Southern***

[SaltGator]

The lack of penalties so far is refreshing to see as well.

^ I should say some of those pass plays, not a lot.

Oh I get it. I'm not saying we're ready for Bama. Just nice to see a team that looks like they've practiced before.

Bring on Georgia Southern! Rematch! Yeah, baby!! Go Gators!

Actually we did in 2014 and 2015 in the openers

Neither one of those years did we look dominant though. In all 3 phases.

Wait and see mode

I'm betting jboss gets something pregnant tonight.

This post deserves HOF status.

For sure. Solid fundamentals, just need to pick up the pace a little bit. But they are taking what the defense gives them. And our D had only one breakdown to my recollection, that long run.

Not really a breakdown, It was a missed tackle by Shuler.

Well the running game looked more dominant in the 2014 first half. I am just a natural pessimist until I see it against a team with a pulse.

Who the hell cares at this point? Actually we are seeing receivers who are running routes and catching. We're seeing effort to block punts and successful blocked kick. We're seeing Franks as a "willing runner". And we've only seen two penalties for total 15 yards.

We're not learning how competitive we'll be against more beastly competition, but at least we are learning that Mullen and his staff have worked to correct some of the atrocities we've witnessed over the past few years.

And it's fun to watch.

Absolutely correct. Oh, and by the way, Dari Noka can bite me at any time. What a hater that douchebag is.

This forum has been full of Mullen and franks haters. I want to hear honest opinions now. Franks looks like a different qb now am I right?

We haven’t played well against an FCS team in 10 years so I’m excited

Its early to say but I do see MUCH improvement in Franks and I like it. Finally. Lets see what happens in real games now.

I like my crow blackened on a bed of rice pilaf - thank you very much.

Whether we get to our destination or not, take time to enjoy the journey. This feels great so far.

Agreed let’s see what happens next week. But this is sure dayum fun to watch

That was the best half of football I've seen in years. I know, I know, its only Charleston Southern, but we played crisp, confident football and did what we should always do. Put a beatdown on an overmatched team. Nice to see that again.

As someone pointed out the other day McElwain's first game was a 61-13 win. So lets see if UF can look good against a BAD SEC team next week.

Franks looked better than I expected, the running game was fairly pedestrian and the D was dominant. Two out of three's not bad.

Imagine how good Trask is going to look. I learned from most of you guys he's a much better passer
