Couple big plays go the other way and we win the game tonight. Go rewatch AR’s fumble. If he just continues to run the ball around the edge he might score. We had 4 or 5 guys lead blocking with only 2-3 defenders on the edge.
We all knew this year would be rough if you didn’t you had unrealistic expectations. We’re a young team still learning a new system and how to elevate our game at the next level. The jump from high school football to college is astoundingly difficult. Especially in the SEC. We need time to gain experience and learn.
One thing we do know is Nap can recruit. Urban was gifted guys like Percy Tebow Rainey Hernande the list goes on. Outside of AR who was Nap handed the rains with? I’m not saying Nap is the next Saban or Dabo or Urban but look:
Saban’s first year at Bama: 7-6
Dabo first year at Clemson: 9-5
Urban at Florida: 9-3
I’d say all 3 of those guys had better rosters ie more talented than we have right now. Especially urban and Dabo. Mullen not recruiting set us back a few years.
Let’s all take this year for what it is, a rebuild. Give this man time to cook and let’s see what he brings to the table the next 2-3 years.
None of those guys were on Florida’s roster when Urban took over. He recruited & signed every one of them.
