Game Thread ***OFFICIAL GAME THREAD: UF vs Vanderbilt*** ETN likely out

[wrpgator]

We beat 2 teams we lost too last year, that’s getting better correct?

I’d say yes. Gators lost some quality players to the NFL & portal, we’re a young team. We have potential to make big strides with a good OC.

 

[AnObfuscator]

Well I guess we shouldn't fire Napier today.

Still believe nothing offensively will work until this OL is much improved. It’s hard also when OL haven’t been healthy. Just can’t see how we can throw downfield when we can’t maintain a block for more than 2 seconds in passing situations.

 

[MJMGator]

Much improved over last week. Keep getting better Gators!

The routes aren't the best. But, Mertz also needs a little more time for the routes to develop but the pass pro breaks down almost everytime. When it doesn't, he thinks it will, and he screws up the throw.

I don't see it getting better this year. Maybe after the bye week.

 

[Silverback Gator]

Decent game. The mistakes and penalties though. It’s a win.

Go Gators. Carry that swagger up to SC.

 

[Silverback Gator]

Damien George is really good at killing drives.

He got beat on that play AND committed a personal foul. Brilliant.

Wish I knew staff tried hard to retain the two good OL who transferred out.

I won't say anything bad about a win, but I turned it off at halftime. If you had to pick one word to describe this program's identity, it would be "pedestrian." Felt like I was watching paint dry. No energy. Just going through the motions (or the process). We clearly had much better talent than our opponent, beyond that there was nothing special.

But hey, it was a win.

Perhaps you simply shouldn't watch the rest of the season?

Yeah, Pretty much my sentiments as well.
I mean, Vandy had all kinds of injuries in the secondary and we still couldn't take advantage down field.
We did use that short passing game very effectively. Montrell got untracked a bit and Trey Wilson is a stud.
Brown for a few reps, so, Thats a good thing because Mertz is going to be nicked up all year with this line.

Then again, It was Vandy.

For me, It was very hard to even get excited when we scored. I mean, It was Vandy, after we just got blown out by a Kentucky team, already down 21-0 in the first half to Ga..

Oh well, On to the next one.

 

[Theologator]

This felt like so many Vandy games. They hit a few plays but we control the game. I’m glad for a solid win against a under-manned Vandy. We ran well, efficient passing. Too many penalties.

I liked that we tried some deeper passes. I’m unhappy that we can’t connect them. Every team we’ve played has hit at least 2 deep balls. Why can’t we?

SC is off, sharpening their knives and preparing to avenge last year’s drubbing. Can we meet that intensity on the road?

I think we already know the answer to that question.

"Good night, Billy. Good work. Sleep well. We'll most likely fire you in the morning. "

 

[MJMGator]

Y’all some miserable mfers.

Extra points for the Princess Bride reference.

 

[Theologator]

Then again, It was Vandy.

I mean, It was Vandy,

True. But 38-14 is a solid ho-hum win over Vandy. We really couldn’t gain much more than we did.

Next.

Oh hell yes, I agree!
I think the games where they don't have the on field mics on, or the press box open to hear the crowd, contributes to the ho hum feeling watching it on TV.
When you can't hear the excitement, it's really hard to get into a game like that.

It will be much different next week in Columbia.

 

[Tunaboat]

Tonight's UGA-KY game showed that KY just isn't worth a sh@t, again. That means we are weak as water, they blew us out all game and they suck against quality competition. Just depressing AF

 

[Gatorraid81]

Soak it up boys, likely the last win we'll see this year.
