Game Thread ***OFFICIAL GAME THREAD: UF vs Kentucky***

[FireFoley]

Billy will put the usual spin on it…we’re young, we have to learn how to win games like this, it’s a process, blah, blah , blah.

You are correct but only the transients will fall for it. Every team is young these days. Every team has turnover yearly with the portal.

 

[LaylaGator]

I am done with the Napier experiment. At some point the CEO HBC has to coach and he ain't doing it.

Yup. I'm willing to be patient to beat fsu and Georgia. I am not willing to "wait til next year" to beat Kentucky. Chalk me up in the dumper column from here on out.

Ground made it come loose.

 

[ted]

This is a shockingly bad performance in all facets of Football. As much as I like to be patient, especially with such a massive rebuild needed for this program, this may be the beggining of the end for BN

It just comes down to the little things on the road again

Bad tackling
Bad QB play
Running game shut down because of the QB play
Stupid penalties hurting us and helping the other team
Huge momentum shifts because of the above

Just did it again. They weren't hiking the ball yet 8 false starts...they were adjusting the play and he jumps wtf. Players panic on the road is very bad

Then a dropped bomb of a pass. Nothing but the ground breaking it up, but also a 15 yd PF penalty on the same play lmao

Mertz throws a good deep ball. We aren't using this guy to his abilities at all.

 

[LaylaGator]

Yep. Just unbelievably stupid on the road

Good to see you, Lee! Can you please move up the start of basketball season?

 

[GatorInGeorgia]

Listening to Napier during the sideline interview. Pathetic! No fire, no emotion, excuses galore! This translates to the players. This sucks!

And I get a “Stoned” rating on this? I have no clue WTF SaltGator has seen over the past year & a half but it’s clear as day to me that teams mirror what they see from the HC.

You left out "Getting our asses dominated on both lines of scrimmage"

They aren't though...they are just getting out played by positioning and numbers

 

[Towels 'N Sporks]

I can't believe I'm discussing this but if we are going to be this bad this season, firing Napier will be a very serious discussion soon by more than just dumpers. We have played 3 serious teams now and only have one quarter where we outplayed them so far.

I have a feeling we are 3-15 months from digging through the bargain bin again.

Sorry , was a fat finger. Sun Belt Billy blows.

 

[78]

I gotta say the more I see of Mertz, the more impressed I am. Combine that with a pair of fine running backs and Pearsall, and you come away scratching your head as to why we don't score more points.

BTW, do we have a tight end that we throw to?

Sad but so true. Can’t believe we are becoming Kentucky’s whipping boy. Pretty freaking sad. I know folks don’t like Stoops, but damn he coaches better then Gomer Pyle!

 

[Swamped Gator]

If I was Stoops I wouldn’t throw another pass all game.

 

[ted]

No matter how this plays out, Strickland and Foley have to be jettisoned or there is no use changing coaches. We need a new athletic department philosophy from top to bottom. Make a clean sweep and reclaim our prowess in the revenue sports

 

[Ironhead]

I'm afraid, this is a "wheels come off" type of game.
Players aren't going to continually "trust the process, right" when losing to much lesser talented teams.
Instead of what should have been, a Statement game from the Gators.
Turns out, Stoops, can coach circles around Sunbelt Billy.

 

[Tunaboat]

Whatever dude. We're getting our asses handed to us. Why split hairs

 

[AuggieDosta]

This is ugly.

 

[LeeForThree]

Pick 6...dropped lmao
