I don't know if I saw improvement or we just simply played a much worse team. The outcome was much better tho so I'll take it. Still say we won't know anything until a few more games.
Exactly:
1. The offense was still awful against one of college football's worse defenses.
2. The defensive effort was better but still too many missed tackles and too many third and Granthams. The effort which is what was mostly lacking against UK was better. Certainly the Colorado State offense is more of a challenge than their defense.
3. Special teams showed some promise. Place kicking was good. Punting was ok. UF did NOTHING to cause their punter to miss an ok snap on the first punt. The punt that was blocked was a nice play. The punt returns were good, but the TD return was when the clock was such that the game was becoming over. The coverage teams seemed solid.
4. I am concerned that the staff had clearly pumped the announced and analysts full of 87 DB are out or whatever number they were claiming. I am not sure I feel good about a staff that spends their time pumping the press full of excuses particularly against the likes of Colorado State.
5. I sure wish Mullen would give Trask a series in the first half and then Franks an extra series in the second half. Franks is one hit away from UF needing Trask to have some experience. It would be nice if some of Trask's experience was with the players who play.
