I am very impressed with the attitude and energy of our Gators--both the fans and football team. I understand the talent gap, but this is more about attitude, motivation, and rekindling the passion for the game--to just go out and execute, and have fun doing it.
These kids play football for a reason. Of course they are talented athletes, but they need coaching and motivation to fulfill their potential. And they need to have fun doing it.
That's what was most impressive to me, and I credit Mullen and the coaching staff for that.
Can they keep it up under adversity from more talented teams? I hope so.
I do know this: talent needs coaching. Look at some of those passes from Franks. Pretty impressive and nothing even the most die-hard pumper would have ever predicted.
Coaching, we all have witnessed the difference. Maybe we are better than we think. Or maybe we're just over elated to finally watch an exciting football game with a heartbeat. Either way, I think we beat Kentucky and UTooth, then the real excitement begins.
