Back on the Heup Train

[Nico ee-ah-MAH-LAY-ah-va]

I will eat crow. Heupel, despite questionable play calling, mistakes, and frustration, was able to at least hang a W over the Gators.

I don’t care if UF is bad this year. Their roster is just as talented as ours and we rarely beat them.

A win over Florida is usually ugly, too close for comfort, and leaves both fan bases feeling icky. However, I’m going to choose to celebrate instead of lament over our glaring issues. If you don’t celebrate tonight then you are just a loser.

He’s still making mistakes. It’s gonna be a ball control year in the SEC. Need to go heavy 12 personnel the first half.

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

I'm not. We just out talented them. He got outcoached bad

 

[mpfvol]

CJH is better than anything since Fulmer but daum. Why cant he get a good QB Hooker was handed to him and he tried to force Milton . Now Nico is way worse than Milton . And the back up isnt even on scholly WTF

I disagree because UF had some atrocious play calling. Florida fans are yelling about Billy’s OT strategy. Why run plays that develop behind the line of scrimmage in overtime?

Good point

Rough night but that is how we win against Florida.

Worry about the future some other day. We are just improved to 7-24 over the past 32 years from 6-24.

Heupel has to make his system more QB friendly. He has had 3 QBs so far at UT and only one has looked comfortable in his offense....and Nico was supposedly built for his system.

If he doesnt figure out his offense, he isnt going to work out here.

 

[MAD]

Josh Heupel now has more wins against Florida than Lane Kiffin, Derek Dooley, Butch Jones, & Jeremy Pruitt had combined.

Again

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

Going for it and making it on our own 10 was solid brass

How did we out talent them if their roster is more talented than ours?

I thought it was great. Coward calls lose games. Ask Stoops about that win against Ole Miss where they did the same thing.

 

[volinbham]

whoo whoo!

Not on third and long

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

I always love it when we beat UF. But back on the Huep train fully? Not even close. How many times have we seen Heupel get a late game lead and play scared and not to lose? He did it against UF in 2022 and this year. And it almost cost us both times.

Heupel’s play calling abilities are a serious question mark. His clock management still suffers. And I feel like he has shifted from living the offense to living the defense more.

 

[kptvol1]

I’m with Heup, but his offense requires QB play at an elite level. It has to happen quickly in the helmet and the eyes. I like Nico, but he’s just nowhere near Hooker in running the offense yet. I actually thought he should be benched in this game, but I don’t think that he’s incapable overall. This new pro league that is NCAAf is still being figured out.

 

[Col_Cathcart]

Nico isn’t good enough to play behind a bad OL. And our OL is awful.

Gaston Moore could run it better!

 

[Carp]

Beating Florida, even when they are bad, makes me so happy that I right now I feel 2024 is already a success.

 

[ETV]

It’s a little early to be considering that.

Nico is having issues with progressions and is hesitant to run when it’s needed.

He gets greedy, he desperately wants the big play.

Shocker...I know it's not the 20 point win you wanted, but you also were saying we were going to lose all week.

 

[B81]

Huep called a good game, Nico is still a freshman.

 

[Volhoops]

Not all the way on the train. Still seeing bad play calls in critical situation. Punted the ball from deep in your own territory to a returner who just burned you last series on a punt and you punt it right back to him. No way he should have touched that ball.
