Florida played a good game

Figured it was legal term. Gonna use it a lot in the future... incorrectly. If the defense had played with a little more sophistry we might have won.

I looked it up. It said something about using fellatious arguments with the intent to deceive. Fellatious arguments sounds like a lawyer, especially Swamp Donk.

Fellatious! I know that one.

It isn’t that hard, it just means that someone (usually a lawyer) is a minion of Beelzebub; a purveyor of lies; an enemy of truth, civilization, and humanity as a whole; and as an exemplar of hostis humani generis at law, one of the reasons that the great statesman Cicero once mused that the initiation of a just and liberal society must include the physical removal of the legal profession from society and ultimately life itself. So, no big deal really.

Definitely a favorite of mine, no doubt.

You do realize that UF had a 7 point lead in the 2nd half, right? Some of you guys are acting like UF was blown out by 50.

Despite the historically bad defense, UF had a realistic shot to win.

Being tied at halftime was a minor surprise. We barely kept up with their scoring. Yes, we went up by one score and that gave us all a hopeful chubby. But in the end, they were the better team. Their safeties and corners out-played ours. Their rushing attack far out-shined ours. We could not stop them. We lost to a superior team with superior talent. Mullen battled. Mullen did plenty. Just came up a few plays short of toppling them.


Maybe we'll win out and get a rematch. Stranger things have happened. Come on back down to Earth and enjoy the show again. And no More EJ, we promise. Not unless Trask is injured.

 

[YLGator]

Not really.
Ox is right, we could have won that game. A few plays here and there and one less holding call. Mullen said in the presser that EJ had a sure TD on the 3rd qtr drive but a receiver ran the wrong route. Previous to that was the holding call drive. Then the Trask interception in the 4th. Would've made the final drive mean something. Even with the defense shytting the bed. We were in the game but everything had to go right and it didn't.

If Mullen really said that about that absurd EJ series, then he's completely hopeless. We were moving the ball at will with Trask. There was absolutely no reason to gamble with EJ at that time. You do something like like when you need a spark, not when you're scoring with no problem. And if the point of that series was to set LSU up for the deep ball, how the heck could the wide out run the wrong route. Makes absolutely no sense.

Trask’s prior series was a 3 and out.

Trask’s prior series was a 3 and out.

He drove us down the field for a TD two series before that and on the prior series hit a beautiful screen pass to Perine for 20 yards that was called back for holding, Dan then turtled up and ran up the middle on 1st and 20. Trask then threw an incomplete pass to Cleveland on 2 and 19 and got sacked on 3rd and 19 when the o-line failed to block anyone. Absolutely no reason to pull him at that time.

So the three and out was Mullen’s fault, and there was no need to reestablish the run once they started keying on the pass. I’ll also assume that Trask’s later INT was due to the EJ series. Thanks for clearing that up.

You're close, but don't quite have it. The int was due to Dan pulling Trask on the play before, breaking his rhythm and running another failed EJ QB keeper.

I'll tell you why he did it.
1.) EJ had gotten tons of reps during the week while Trask was nursing his injury.
2.) He had something he thought would work with EJ that they practiced all week and schemed for using.
3.) At the same time, CDM was worried that they would eventually get to Trask and cause a game-changing play.
4.) Trash barely avoided (by millimeters) his fourth or fifth strip sack on previous 2nd half drive. Trask was getting too comfortable and was potentially due for a turnover.
5.) Thought that the defense was catching up to the Traskman. Pitts was covered.
6.) Wanted to mix it up for all the above reasons.

It didn't work, so now he's stupid and an idiot and deserves all the blame. Seriously though, hindsight is 20/20. Mullen called a heck of a game. Perhaps blew it at end with his Redzone calls in the 4th quarter. Not enough play-calling perfection to score with LSU. Who we did not, could not, Stop all Night Long.

Of course. If Mullen would just get out of the way Trask would have thrown for 600 yards and 7 TDs leading us to an easy victory.

I think it was not on EJ’s drive - it was on the drive when we were down 35-28. It looked like Copeland ran a slant instead of corner route. Looked perfect and wide open if run correctly. Could be wrong though.

#1 is irrelevant
#2 wasn't needed as what Trask was doing was already working
#3 is just an excuse
#4 simply isn't true. Trask hadn't turned the ball over once all day
#5 is silly. We had just scored a few minutes earlier
#6 is probably true. He wanted to mix it up because he's more comfy with a running QB. That's it.

And yes. The buck stops with Dan. It didn't work, so it was stupid.

If that's the case, my question would be why was Copeland, a green redshirt freshman, in the game down 7 at LSU in the 4th qtr when we have 4 or 5 more experienced and equally as talented WR's on the team that more than likely would have run the right route?

The numbers say it all: 42 points allowed, 511 total yards, 10.6 yards a play, plays of 57, 54, 36, 33, 25 and 19 yards surrendered, 0 sacks, 0 quarterback hurries, 1 tackle for loss, 0 turnovers.

Yep, kind of disgusting

Pretty much everyone has stipulated that the D was horrible all night. Our only hope was the go aggressive on O. For some reason we didn't do that.

The game plan -- working successfully thus far in the game--- was to make methodical progress, ball-control TD's to slow LSU. For the most part we accomplished this.

In your opinion, it was time to abandon the game plan- even though it was working- and start being more aggressive.
At the time, we also considered ourselves a superior 4th quarter team and that our T.O.P. advantage was going to pay dividends. Why change your game plan. Follow through.
In that position, you want Dan to what OX said and ditch the run plays completely? Throw deep every time with flawless Trask? Foolish.
1.) Trask is turnover prone. Pass Rush was intensifying. He almost got Striped in previous 2nd half drive.
2.) No time to launch deep routes. Besides their corners are fast enough to keep up. Furthermore, Not Trask's strength to go deep. Not that we've seen so far.

Basically, you just disagree in hindsight. The game plan was solid. We just came up short.

I disagree with every word of this post.

It’s okay to say that Mullen made a some bad decisions. You can still like him anyway, and lightning will not strike you.
