We haven't been pushed around on D the last two games and we are hitting with malice. Maybe we can keep making baby steps and give a somewhat credible performance with the defense in the SECCG.

I'll believe that FF can get through a game without the help of a serious running threat, with subpar pass protection, and a history of screwing the pooch when he's under any pressure at all, when I actually see it. I predict that the toughest questions CDM will face after the game is why did Trask have to wait for a serious injury to FF to take over at QB.
Okay, I'll admit that I was off base about FF absolutely, positively doing some bonehead schytt. He did not. He actually played as well as I can ever remember seeing him play. My hat is off to him. But Trask is still orders of magnitude better than FF is - or will ever be. That is all.

Franks threw ONE nice pass. ONE. That last long TD was an effing joke.

Now we can fumigate the field knowing he'll never set foot on it again.

And you're not factoring in the coaching that best passer in football is getting either.

And EJ looked pretty good when he came in late in the game.

I honestly still don't know who the hell Sam Pittman is but he's at least helluva lot better Coach than Burp Bielema there's no doubt.

Fun game. We have a dynamic pass oriented offense. We spread the ball around again tonight. Mullen called another great game.

Let's not go nuts. There were some hideous calls.

It wasn’t a perfect game but not every call is going to the house. One call could be setting up another. The point is there is a real good flow to the game. He clearly has a game plan and everyone has bought in.

I’m glad we beat him, and wished it would’ve been cleaner in defense, but I have no issue with Franks. My biggest problem with him was always his maturity. It may still be a problem, but it wasn’t on display tonight. Especially considering the fans apparently booed him(which makes sense, he’s a rival now). He looked like he had a much better handle on things and I was happy to see him not be a toolbag. So glad we have Trask, but I’ll always enjoy that 2018 season that finally started to right this ship, and FF had a major hand in that. I watched closely his talking to KT and Mullen and in both cases, he was about as gracious as could be expected. Glad we beat him, but wish him the best going forward.

Mr. Hot dogs played tonight and has played all year better than we would've expected from him in Gainesville. We may be looking at a really special team/season and he was simply outgunned. What we are witnessing is prolific. At what point do we give Brian Johnson some serious love? I'll be the first to say I had never heard of him. The offense this year so far has taken steps forward similar to LSU under that 1 year (coach)Joe fella. We may want Mr. Johnson to stick around for more than 1 year. The offense has been a pleasure to watch this season. The spread fun 'n' gun is here boys.

Did you end up busting a nut? I'll bet when Franks threw that second TD you needed a canoe to float out of there.
I know I sure did after watching the replay and confirming that it was offensive PI. Doesn't count for me and it increased not the amount of strokes necessary to finish the right way. You can't stiff arm and shove the DB to the ground 25 yards downfield.
