Improvement each week will be the name of the game for #5
Good Job as usual Cover. Thought E.J. showed a little moxie with his play after we went down 14-10.
Will be good to see #15 play again. You never know which KY. team is going to show up, I think they lead the league in turnovers. Gators need to start forcing some.

@cover2 what is your take on why we start so slow, on both sides really, but especially on defense. This was true for the last three years also. We always act like we're surprised by what they're doing, even when it is nothing new from the other team.

We tend to give up a few scores often quickly, the settle down after halftime adjustments. obviously adjusting at halftime does suggest good coaching but not being prepared at kickoff suggests poor coaching.

The truth is both these teams run much of the same playbook. I was kind of hoping that we might not start slow this week.

Lack of preparation? Or something else?
I was at the game last night. One thing I noticed in the 2nd half is that Tennessee was dragging ass. They were flat exhausted. Our depth and conditioning seemed to make a big difference.

My Maxwell House Sunday morning... Coffee and Cover 2, both good to the last drop!
I've come to the conclusion Gator fans are adrenaline junkies and just aren't happy till they get their fix. I'll admit I am as well. How is it that EJ can pull off a long run for 40 plus and while we liked it and cheered loudly... we cream ( just another coffee reference) all over ourselves when AR15 does approximately the same thing!
We like what EJ is doing for the most part, but we got a taste of that stronger drug, and when it's not there, the jitters set in...Need to keep that AR15 drug in your holster Dan for the right moment! I love EJ to death, he is a marvelous athlete, loyal Gator, and a fine young man,, (props to his momma)who can take us a long way....BUT! AR15 is the "Silver Bullet"! In Dan I trust
When you saw EJ run for forty plus yards, did you wonder (just a little bit) whether AR15 would have taken it all the way to the house?

You were making a lot of sense right up until this.

Doering said the trick play was an SOS play. He said we scored a TD against Bama in the SEC Championship game using that play in the 90s.

Alex.

I do remember that play in 94 SECCG, 1st such in Atlanta. It was effective. Mullen also used it in his year 1 as Gator HC at Mississippi State for a TD

I’d like just to mention that only a dick head as big as Zambo would give Cover’s post a “drunk” rating.
I’d like to mention that destingator is the biggest beta cuck on this board and doesn’t realize that cover and I are friends and that this is what friends do. And lets face it, cover was indeed drunk because he’s always drunk.

You’re still a piece of ****. Always have been, and I’m going to point it out as much as I can, and whenever I can.

In the stands, after the one run, there wasn't a person around me who didn't say "woulda been a TD with AR." ;)

Ahhh...so your saying he was on the field and should have been given the ball instead? AND all those people around you saw him too?
Listen... I know what your saying, but I deal in reality ... Dan gets paid alot of money to make his decisions. He doesn't have time to put it up for a vote. He sees both of those cats in practice every frickin day, and my guess he knows who the guy is he wants in is, and damn it, I don't know about you, but I'm pretty happy with his results so far.
