Captain's Cogitations - Colorado State

[GatorJ]

Hard to say. The only two I think will blow us out for sure at this point would probably be MSU since its a road game and Georgia probably.

I expect 9-10 wins. But some of them will be really close. I think we get blown out by somebody like LSU. I think MSU will be a close loss.

I think we stomp FSU.

Solid break down,captain!

Noticed JZ at DT as well due to the strong push inside. And beyond the sacks, he provided additional pressure. Good effort overall.

After 3 games, I realize that the growth of a better team isn't going to happen game by game. Saturday night showed baby steps. Some plays were stunning. Others made me yell at the poor timing and defense making.
We are just going to have to live with the mantra: 2 steps forward and 3 steps back.
It is what it is. Enjoy the games and tailgating soon it will be over and you'll be stuck waiting for basketball to really get going.

Welcome to the funhouse, Preacher. We can use all the prayer we can get this year with the baby steps........

Who was 96? Jefferson? He really added a push on the line.

Stiner was AWFUL. Safety is still a mess.

An improvement circle jerk against CSU? I might need to rewatch the game and see what I missed o_O

In all seriousness, in the 1700s, don't you know rookie pirates had to go to boarding school ?

Hey, Mullen, Damien Pierce is our feature RB, who would be the feature RB at any college... yet over 3 games DP has 14 carries,165 yds, 11.6 ypc. Heck, Perrine has 100 yds in 13 carries, 7.6 ypc. Hey gang, that's a running team that doesn't call running plays! -- except for leading in carries = gimbal-legged Franks.

I hope you meant 3 steps forward, 2 back, otherwise we're going in the wrong direction.

I watched the SEC Network replay today, and I’m a little confused as to what everyone is saying about missed tackles. There were a couple here and there, but there was a VAST improvement from UK.

What if our improvement curve starts improvement exponentially ? Such that v UT these Gators improve 20%? Followed by 30% - that includes ole 'slogjam' Franks. This weekend we gotta break UT asunder.

Agree that the defensive front played much better. But the competition was very poor so it's hard to read too much into it. The toothless numbnUTs will be a better measure.
