Yeah but those guys weren't catching Grimes regardless.Raymond blatantly held on that block.

Remember 2014 when Roper came in? We lit it up in the first game and most of us thought we were on the way to better offensive performances. That was the first thought that came to my mind as I watched the 4th quarter last night......All that being said though we have MUCH better skill position players surrounding Franks than Driskel ever had here and at least a marginally better offensive line. I'm certainly not going to make excuses for Driskel's subpar play that year but he had a mess of an offensive line and the WR's were so bad that I can't even remember who they were except the guy who now plays DB for the Redskins.....I don't think this game means a lot either just like the 2014 and 2015 games didn't mean much for the offense anyway. Heck didn't we roll up over 600 yards in those games. If we roll KY and its not just due to turnovers I will have more faith.

He might be the #1 or #1a back w Malik.
The only real disappointment of the night for me was Scarlett.
The other team loaded up to stop the run assuming Franks would screw up passing. Bad decision.That was my thought exactly. We should beat these kind of teams like that. We could have scored a 100. It was a great first step and I believe it will carry over to Kentucky. Some nice throws by Franks and that RB Pierce, he's an animal. Scarlett seemed to be the weak link.

As the opposing defense wore down the blocking improved not Scarlett's fault. Loading up to stop him opened up the pass.
Good Lord.Never said it was a really good block, said it was one of my favorite plays. And....no flag. But hey if you'd rather us get flags called on us, then that's your prerogative.
Mac beat nmsu 61-13 and would've done the same thing. This game told us nothingThey may be terrible but it’s been years since we’ve beaten teams like this the way we’re supposed to. Too many times over the last 4-5 years we’ve let these teams stay in the game through the 4th quarter. We’re moving in the right direction and this is definitely a fun product to watch! If the was Mac we would’ve went out there and ran the ball all night and tried not to lose instead of trying to win. Go Gators!
Jury will be starting deliberations on your Clowns recent hire soon.Jury is still out on Mullen and franks.
