Just a thought

Is it time to maybe take a look at whether or not it's even worth it to play these rinky dink teams? It seems like they consistently do bush league stuff and play dirty. They know they can't win so they try to ruin a major program's season by hurting its players. That face mask on Nico was BS and the refs should be fired for not making that call. Seriously???? How the heck do you miss that? I guarantee the refs would have thrown a flag on us in the swamp if we face masked their QB that blatantly.

Yes, we need these teams or we’d have a losing record this year and we still might

Once we go away from divisions next year, it won't be a prevalent selection any more. We have had the same type bad refs this entire season. Missed PI calls, mysteriously kicked balls when we needed to go quickly. Hadden got 2 PIs called on the exact play that was deemed a good defensive play tonight. Underground ball, db never looks back and runs into the receiver. Tonight is was ok.

How the facemask was over-looked is amazing.

my thought is that MIlton disappears for long periods of time during the game. It just seems like he zones out and just tries to throw it 60 yards when it is 3rd and 6 and we need to keep the sticks moving.

I'd like to see "serious" and "determined" Joe on the sidelines instead of the muscle flexing and dance moves.
In a nutshell, inconsistency.

he missed 9 in a row..3 were easy td passes.if we can get 1st quarter joe consistently would be impossible to beat.

Milton is a good athlete with a strong arm. He is not however a talented quarterback.

They were hitting low.

Seems like the best QBs are the ones who are never too high and never too low.....Mainly because they are preparing mentally for what they have to do next.

I'd be completely ok if our QB made the decision to let everyone else do the dancing. Or maybe just save all the moves for one big demonstration after clinching a meaningful game.

I see PI infractions that are not called all the time. It's like PI is the new " holding' call that ref's get tp pull out of their bag to change a game' outcome

 

[flyvol]

Even though they've not lived up to their billing, UTSA was considered a top-25 team before the season started, so I wouldn't say they were perceived as a rinky-dink team prior to week one.

I have also said I wouldn’t play the Austin peay’s, UTSA’s of the world (or schools whose base offense is the triple option or wing T)… those “small” schools come in looking to show off, nothing to lose, and tend to play reckless, undisciplined football especially when the game starts getting away from them (or the refs help keep it tight).

This ain't it boss

LITERALLY overlooked (and yes I used the word literally correctly, a pet peave of mine is when people use it wrong i.e. “I was literally melting in that heat.”) ; there is a photo of the ref looking directly at it happening

UTSA would smash UF, that’s the hilarious thing

Idk what to say. I'm just convinced we will never win in Gainesville again

Ollie Lane and Tim Banks

I don't know about smash but they could probably give them a game outside the swamp.

Charlotte gave UF a game in the Swamp. UF won’t make a bowl.

Hate to put a guy down but Ollie is not equipped to handle SEC lineman.

True, but they were still somewhat of a paper tiger. Didn't beat many P5/G5 teams with winning records in 2022.

I would probably trade QBs with them since both are in their last season of college football. He finds open relievers, throws balls on target, runs the ball with authority , and sees the field well.

 

[orangemadam]

I admit the facemask miss was bad, but if you take off the orange shades, I saw
a few plays where we could have had PI called on our db's.

I think home team in just about every SEC game gets away with several calls ( the "homer" effect)

Refs hate Tennessee. I swear it's true. I don't care what anyone says. The SEC office doesn't seem to want us to do well. The Florida game felt rugged honestly. They stole two potential TDs from us at least that game and killed our comeback attempt.
