the team just did not seem motivated at all. Defense got pushed around and gave up lots of yards, but until the last quarter helped keep it close. Offense was pathetic- again. Reminds me of Butch”s infallible offense that went dormant too many times as we hurry up and punt.
Heupel is...
Those still thinking 8 wins may be vastly over estimating this team. Our “elite” defense (coaches words) got exposed again. And the offense has struggled for the 3rd game. Have other teams figured CJH out or is it just Milton cannot deliver at the high efficiency required? Much like the...
If that’s your record prediction you might be far wrong. Season is reminiscent of when Dobbs left and we replaced the OC with a tight end coach. Don’t see our record being much better unless CJH steps up and makes big changes which is not likely given his past record
Sadly our coach loves him as much as Butch loved Guarantano. So we will go .500 (or worse) with him unless he gets hurt again like he did the first season
3rd bad game of the year (so far - there’s always hope in 2nd half). We are playing worse now than the first year with a depleted roster.
The difference; New OC and new QB. Which one (or both?) is the main reason for the decline?
Worst Florida team in years dominated every aspect of the...
Just means you are in same boat as the coach.
The kid has a lot of talent but seems like when the pressure is on or he gets “punched in the mouth” he folds up like a cheap suit (or Giarantano if you will). I hoped he’d turn the corner this year, but honestly it’s time to put Nico in more and...
Butch Heupel showed his stubbornness last year by keep trotting Milton out as QB when we all knew Hooker was a better fit at the time. Chances are he will want to stick by Banks too.
Wonder if the defense would be better if he has just kept Steele on staff
Great write up as usual. I was at that game too and agree it was one of the besT I’ve ever seen even though we came up short. I was at the Sugar Bowl game too that you mentioned- not often that the half time show turns the tide of the game like that one did. Thanks for sharing
The committee changes what it considers important every year and often it seems mid-stream. Used to what a team in conference tourneys mattered a lot, now they don’t seem to get considered at all (unless a team wins that wasn’t getting otherwise). that thinking allows teams just to tank...
