It was admittedly very subpar for this staff, but really, worst ever?
I was just making a funny point Tom. Trust me I've been around a while now and scene some ugly sh!t.
I guess I was a little puzzled that Mullen had no wrinkle in place for the situation. I truly did not believe they would be that solid on defense BUT anyone watching could see by the 3rd or 4th series that they have a legit(not great) defense... I don't love Mullen but one thing I've noticed last year was he seemed to have at least one or 2 gimmicks up his sleeve to offset a particularly aggressive defense....I missed that last night.

Is the OP because I said the last one was too long? I like your write ups, man. I was just anxious for the season to start. Now we have actual things to talk about.

so you guys think the assistants were screaming "hey run the option again, surely it will work this time" for the first three and a half quarters?

No clue. I’m guessing an assistant was the one who came up with the deep ball to Hammond. Probably had the same look as the play before when Franks was picked and the assistant noticed. Johnson in the booth most likely.

Did NOBOBDY observe Trask on the sideline? It doesn't take much to be holding a clipboard and slyly slip on a headset. Then try to contribute with the one play on your clipboard. Sheesh...ya'll act like Trask transferred. He's still all Gator, giving what he's got.

I know that you didn't mean any harm and said as much buried in the comments of the other thread. However, and I'm not sure you saw this, most of the comments afterward were about length. So, I decided to have a little fun for everyone since I knew a lot of people were tense after beating a rival because being mad seems to be the flavor rather than celebrating a win over a team we had previously beaten once in 30 years (and here we go...)

Riddle....What are 3 things you ALWAYS do against a fast, aggressive defense?
Lots of pre snap motion
Counter plays, misdirection and a couple of reverses
Play action
I remember seeing none of the first 2 and maybe play action twice....
Concrete. I'm not so sure I would label it the worst called game but it was pretty poor. I think the Chump called a worst game every time and Old Hee Haw was consistantly horrible. Neither of those clowns would have won that game.

Solid post. Fair and balanced.
Speaking of suspensions, just saw the Malik Davis fumble...HOW IS THAT A MIAMI RECOVERY? Davis is getting up and it appears Buchanan is on it after that. That crew should be suspended.
Mullen was the one that deserved the "suspension" for not challenging the call. He stood over there like a dummy and let it ride. He said later "well I didn't think they would reverse it." I guess he was saving his timeouts for something brilliant.

Well, just read that Franks said he was throwing to Swain on the first INT. So, being the person I am, I will admit I was wrong about the throw going to Cleve. Also said route was off, but sounds like he is putting blame on himself. So my bad

Glad to hear that he said that. Just listened to a 15 year old who won her first round at the US Open graciously thank the crowd for their support. Maybe if FF keeps working on it, he can get as smart as the 15 year old.

That girl is awesome. She’s never faced a hostile fan base and hopefully never will. Franks is always generous with thanks and praise to his teammates which Is why there is so much respect between them.

He is emotional and he takes being vilified on social media way too hard. Then overreacts to it. Typical young dude. I don’t assume that college football players are any different than most young dudes today. Young guys do stupid shyt all the time. I did, my brother did and my sons did.

As a Company Commander Monday mornings were both concerning and fascinating because that’s when I was briefed on all the dumb **** my Marines did over the weekend. It also reminded me what I was at their age. I would not have had the career I had were it not for my CO who saw my potential through my immaturity.

I find calling a college athlete a mental midget or an idiot far more immature than a player getting too pumped up during a game.

@Slevin yea so about what you were saying earlier... that would be both ints responsible for - per him.
