Smart to rest him until UK, but him combined with the suspensions is going to make for a rough first half (if not game) for the OL... I expect it to look sloppy, will be really pleasantly surprised if it’s not.
Hopefully not sloppy, but definitely good for the 2s to get significant playing time and reps. We’re one snap away from a guy like Farmer or Harris(who I’m actually not that worried about) being a starter.

That’s what makes this game a little concerning to me. If there’s one thing we’ve seen is a lack of consistent, week in week out, performance from this team. The hangover from ut, the accolades this week and the feeling that we accomplished something, combined with a QB like Jones who, if nothing else, was a P5 talent, makes this game a perfect blah performance. Not calling a loss obviously, or even a close win. But if we go into this with the wrong mindset, we could end up with starters spending way too much time on the field. That defeats the purpose of these games and puts important pieces at risk for longer than they should.

These are the kind of weeks that our huge support cast earns their check. It’s not just the talent that teams like uga and Alabama have, it’s the people on their staff tasked with keeping the kids sharp and engaged. We have that now and hopefully it shows.
BN isn't happy with this week's practices.

Time for some midnight workouts?

Agreed, but what I was trying to subtly say for the ballless nervous Nellie's among us was: "Don't get all apoplectic 'n schit when we have basically a new Oline, several playing out of position, struggle against a team that while yes, it's little ole Charlotte, but a LOT of their players are very high talent athletes/recruits to P5 type schools that couldn't hang either academically or whatever but are high talent athletes nonetheless." :lol:

This game may give our punter a chance to work out his kinks.

Come out with a win and no injuries.

Napier is worried that his team will play down to the level of a lesser opponent and have not developed the mental toughness that it takes to win big in these types of games where the emphasis is playing to your standard. We are not just playing Charlotte Saturday but in a sense we are playing ourselves. To get ready for the tough games ahead we do not want to be riding an up and down roller coaster but want to be consistently getting better. This is what Nick Saban preaches and his team obviously did not play to the Alabama standard against USF.

Glad to see the fans on board by selling out the stadium even though it's Charlotte. Anticipation is building for a good season. We'll see.

Maybe Jackson and Terjada are not the right players to be talking.

The players who need to do the talking are some starters from last year’s Utah win who thought they were world beaters until KY smacked them.

The Gators cannot stop being the hunters just because they beat UT.

Nope... LEADER's lead.
