UF team stats through week 4

[BNAG8R]

Ah...leave it to Omar to start a thread putting our team in a negative light. Couldn’t just post it in one of the other 500 threads? Nope...gotta start it’s own thread. Well guess what, I can fix that...

So you're saying we're good?

I'm saying that we have improved all the eaw up to mediocre.

Some of these stats aren’t correct. For example, we’re averaging 41 points per game.

The good: 86th is an improvement!

The bad: This is the easiest 4 game stretch of the year.

I won't debate the last point. But I do think we've become so wired to think negatively that we forget that, in theory, a team could and should improve(which we've already seen to an extent). As we gain confidence, I'm not sure we can't end the year looking a lot better than we started.

I'll also add this. While Franks will certainly see better defenses than he did Saturday night, I'm not sure he'll face a tougher overall environment than a night game in Neyland, celebrating the '98 team. We've never doubted the physical side with him. It's always been mental, which was a signature reason used by those that picked against us last week. Considering the noise of the crowd, his getting sacked on the opening possession, and the fact that 2 of his TD's were plays where he was forced to scramble, I think there's a lot to build off of there and an indication that he's growing as a QB.

It was more in jest and the O has looked better. I'm just not sold on CS, Tenn and CSU. Those teams are the dregs. If we show improvement vs the better teams I'll be the first to recognize it.

My how the atmosphere has changed.

 

[Omar's Coming Yo!]

One of the things I truly dislike about college football. There's nothing wrong with Morris' spread-em out system. Just as there's nothing inherently wrong with the ground-em/pound-em, slow, down hill running football that the previous coach employed. But there's absolutely something wrong with attempting to rewrite the genetic code of a program, completely dismantling what's currently there, and insisting on doing a total 180 in football style. Just in recent years, we've seen RichRod try it at Michigan, WM at UF, and now Morris at Arkansas. It makes zero sense, puts fans, current players, and the entire program through hell, and generally has a failure rate of nearly 100%.

Most programs have certain characteristics, typically dictated by geography, culture and historical preferences. Bring in a coach that can harness that and build upon it, not burn it to the ground in a rushed attempt to build something foreign. Why otherwise intelligent people who have power and influence at their Universities continue to experiment like this is beyond me.

Arkansas is staring at years of disaster, when they--and Morris--could've had success just accepting reality and choosing different paths.

Or put more simply Morris like champ is a terrible coach.

Sorry, had to point out that a Florida team is averaging 40+ points per game 1/3rd of the way through a season

-Florida is currently #4 in TO margin at +2.3

-Florida is currently #2 in takeaways/game at 3.7

I would have killed for us to have had some of those stats at this point during any of MacElstain's seasons.

meerkat offense

I lol'd when I read that. But it's pretty damn accurate. Now I won't be able to picture anything else when I'm watching games

 

[URGatorBait]

And we are one of the few that don't do any of those turnover gimmics. We just go get the damn ball

 

[jhbyrd]

I wouldn't get too caught up in our current national rankings statistically as we have played the weakest teams on our schedule. Tougher teams upcoming.

 

[URGatorBait]

Thanks captain

Watching the Willy Tagelwain Show has him in a bad mood lately.

I think we were pretty solid in least number of offensive plays then also.

I'm sure. That wasn't one of the stats I was thinking of.

Sounds like we've been getting a lot of short fields and scoring fast.
