A few things to get out of my system; Jeff Driskel reminds me of a scrambling golfer. Nothing seems to come easy. Sometimes they make a great play, but a lot of times they had to make a great play due to a self-inflicted error, and if they were just more cautious on the easy stuff, they wouldn't need an up-and-in from the deep rough. The talent is there, but watching Driskel is a rollercoaster of anxiety and breath holding, followed by huge sighs of relief. But, but!, he's 14-3 as a starter and while it has to be the most tedious, tenuous 14-3 of any QB in UF's history, it's still 14-3 and that's pretty damn good. Has Austin Hardin ever been close on a big field goal? Ever? I mean, has he made one kick where all 90,000 fans got some body english going and a little lean because the kick had a chance? Forget making the damn thing, get it in the vicinity of the goal posts. You knew milliseconds after he touched the ball it had no chance. Our rookies in the secondary struggled in pass coverage, although Maye looked Elam-esque against the run. But Maye, Neal, Gorman and Dawson have to get better quickly in pass coverage. Poole was good in deep coverage but got killed on the shorter stuff. Matt Jones and Demarcus Robinson looked like absolute beasts. We're better on offense because those two are big time ballers. Hargreaves and Fowler are NFL first rounders on defense. Lastly, our football mantra seems to be "overcome the adversity." I've heard that six thousand times already this year. It's stupid, we need to change that. It presumes bad things happening and frankly, we often play like we're waiting on the next bad thing to happen. How about "avoid the adversity" or "make the other team overcome their adversity"? So sick of hearing about overcoming adversity, when our focus should be having as little adversity as possible. How about prepare and execute to a point where adversity is minimal? Anyway, tired of hearing about adversity. There, it's all out now! :). Great to be a Gator and great to be undefeated.
