It's clearly a new era of Gator football

It's clearly a new era and I loved the homage to the last great era of Gator football with the Tebow play, and with Tate Casey on the sidelines no less! I'm not rearranging my vacation yet for the CFP but it was fun to see. It's what we should have seen which doesn't mean a lot going forward. Trask lowering his head for the score probably made me cheer louder than anything.

Anyone else concerned about EJ? I hope the first snap he had doesn't shatter his confidence. Glad we have JJ DT QB on our 2019 commitment chart to be honest.

We will find this out next week, Ch.Southern did not blitz even one time last night.....Kentucky has the best LBer in the country and Stoops will have him in our backfield all night. If Mullen doesn't find a way to keep Franks moving away from that dude it could be very bad.....If he does find a way our WR's will DESTROY their DB's....

There was a mullinz quote post game that pierce went in early because of the special teams hit.

No. He got the yips. Expected for a true freshman.
Trasks eyes were huge during his 1st series. It’s been so long since we’ve thumped who should be thumped. It’s nice to see backups get PT.

Their DEs were both 225lbs. I expect a much closer game next week.

Franks looked relaxed, while the other two looked pretty nervous. I think Trask would have settled down and played fine had he gotten another series or two, but EJ was clearly terrified. 
No big deal, good to see him get playing time already.
Let's face it, our entire damn season comes down to Franks. He did some things last night I had never seen before, like go through his progressions and actually throw a couple of balls with touch instead of trying to blow the receiver away with a rocketball. However, he had more time back there than he's going to have against our SEC opponents. All we can do is pray like hell he holds it together under a pass rush.
As for our WR group, they are spectacular. Love all of them.

He had a pretty easy time of it last night. That won't be the case against quality teams. Franks' kryptonite is the pass rush and all our opponents know it.

Wouldn’t it be nice to get back to the point where we beat the Kentucky’s and Vandy’s of the world like we beat CSU last night? Our back ups would get real experience instead of JV experience. Hopefully DM can unlock that again.Franks looked relaxed, while the other two looked pretty nervous. I think Trask would have settled down and played fine had he gotten another series or two, but EJ was clearly terrified.

I was totally shocked about everything Franks did (accursey, progressions, decision making) and as long as he keeps his head on straight he should have a great year.
The starting D-line was dominating and the LB's cleaned up plays nicely.
A few disappointing things I saw were, the 2nd team D-line was awful, but will hopfully improve with the return of Campbell and Ancrum.
I was at the game and it was hard to tell, but did Cyonti Lewis still have the frying pan in his hand, on his one and only target?
We again gave up a drive after singing We won't back down and need to clean that up or quit singing it.

The gorgeous TD toss to the corner of the end zone with a couple rushers on him shocked me. I honestly didn't think he had that kind of poise in him. The Mullen effect is already there.

this was exactly what i wanted to see, and it met all my expectations. yeah ej did not impress, but hopefully he got the yips out of the way in a blowout . plus we had 9 guys not playing ( taylor, copeland, reese) should have more depth next week. i like have the cupcake in week 1

The difference this year is I actually expect Mullen to know this and take advantage. A coach that can actually plan for these things and make adjustments when needed, it's been too long.

Agreed. BUT the good thing is it appears that Mullen will call plays to counter that. Short drops, screens, slants. Quick hitters. You know, things McNordelnusselwain didn't appear to have in their playbook.

Again.....not to be a downer but if I see him standing over our RB who just lost 2 yards or got no gain because he didn't drive a 230# DE/LB into the Gatorade buckets on the sideline whenever we run wide to his side, I think I'm going to puke.....less technique and more power please......

Well, at least the coaches have some actual tape they can use to berate these guys with now.
