You are not the first gator on this board to say that.
The other 2 said it had something to do, with the Dunlap situation?
Gonzalez wanted to be the OC, and begrudgingly accepted Addazio getting that role after Mullen left.
I hadn't heard anything regarding Gonzo and Dunlap. I put the blame squarely on a 4th year player who should know better....there's more to that story as well. When was the last time you saw a football player out drinking by himself?
Agreed.
Word is several defensive players were out drinking on Tuesday AND Thursday night before the Bama game.
Our offense looked like garbage against lesser defenses than Bama this season.
For the first time all season our defense took the night off, and we got ***** slapped.
The gator on here the other day, said that Billy G. would not be the only one to leave ( under these circumstances). As in, not really on his own accord.
Losing Mullen hurt. That dude had a nack for calling plays. For the talent he had, he used it well.
I think between Strong leaving, and what ya'll are losing/could lose on D, your D will take a step back.
If Brantley plays well, the O will be better in some ways. I think we would match up better against a passing QB out of the spread.
Hard to replace experienced talent. The talent part is pretty easy, the experinced part not so much. We will gain a little of both next year, due to Kiffin playing the best players, and not just the most letters.
Our D may be a little better, even losing Berry. I think the second year under Monte will be better.
Our O will be the question, OL and QB. We are pretty solid everywhere else.
Yeah, losing Hardesty and Crompton will hurt you guys. You should take solace in the fact that your coaches got improvement out of Crompton as the season wore on. You'll need that same improvement out of Stephens.
What's your D-line situation look like? I know you lose Dan Williams but that's about it right?
Yeah, maybe we can get something out the ex Gator DT, Brown? (assuming he makes it here)
DE looks good (pretty deep, and adding some more with this class). Looking for depth at DT. We have some young guys (Hughes looks to be on his way) Still need some depth there.
Secondary should still be good.
Im more worried about LB, if we can get Reviez and Frazier back healthy, and ready by spring that will help.
UF got our best D, we fell off some when Reviez got hurt. (And hes former walk on)

Yep. :thumbsup:
I see you failed to include my post that said UF's offense would also need to overachieve....but that wouldn't help your argument.
At no point did I say UF lost to Bama solely because of Dunlap's DUI.
You get a B+ for effort though.
I've yet to spot the post where you say UF's offense would need to overachieve, and I don't see how its relevant to what I'm saying. I never claimed you said UF lost solely because of Dunlap's DUI. You did imply that (large number of gator players) were out drinking the week leading up to the game, and as a result the gators underperformed.
I expected to go undefeated in the regular season. I expected to beat Tennessee by more than 10 points.
As the season wore on I didn't think we'd get past Bama unless our offense overachieved and our defense held serve. Neither happened and we lost.
And the sun came up the following day....
