Just confirms a lack of focus, discipline and preparedness that's on this team. I would also suspect a mentally weak group of players.

The number of key or ctirical no calls on Florida early first half was outrageous and definitely made a difference in the first half going to Florida. The second half calls were ridiculous. Not excusing our penalties but officiating was one sided and announcers agreed.

Inexcusable and cost them the UF game
I think I remember in Y1 w/ JH we played clean. Penalties are one thing when they take away a big play, but they entirely crush momentum of a game when you have presnap penalties. When we get behind the chains with this group, it usually doesn't end well. Hooker, Hyatt, Tillman, etc were dynamic enough to overcome some of this. We can still win alot of games but the margin of error is tight...if we don't play clean games with penalties and then pile on with other gutting mental errors, you get what we got in the Swamp Saturday.

By my count, UF had zero penalties called in the 2nd half
You are mostly correct. They had two right at the end - one for a delay of game when Nappier tried to call back to back timeouts after the 2nd down play (which is now against the rules); and the Unsportsmanlike Conduct penalty for the brawl after the 4th down play. That one may not have been counted since it was "offsetting" with the bogus targeting call on Omari. FLA had 5 penalties for the game, according to the stats they had on the scoreboard; UT had 11 or 12.

We weren't disciplined last year either, but we moved the ball at will. Often had to score a TD twice for it to count.

By that logic there’s no point in having coaches. If the coaches can’t impact what the players do in a game with what is worked on in practice, then there never would have been a college football coach make a million dollars in a season. But they can and do impact that, which is why some make big money for making a big impact. Did you notice that the teams that win the most also were among the least-penalized? It’s not coincidence.
So by your logic the coaches are teaching the guys to commit penalties. They are actively teaching them the wrong fundamentals on purpose. Get out with that mess. Coaches definitely deserve blame but at some point players have to execute.

Not sure of our total penalty yards, but the 30 for the blindside block call and the roughing the passer for a hit to the head call were bogus. First contact on the block we were inside his frame in front of his face, and there was NO contact to the QB head. Don't know if the guy was trying to tie Alama Matthews in the FL game years ago with 3 or not. Matthews had two more awful calls before the free Gafney touchdown that required an in-season emergency rules meeting and then had him transferred to Rocky Goode's crew so he could not call another UT game.

After watching the replay, it was worse than I thought. Their RT was constantly holding, and nobody watched it. That is with the QB rolling same side, the white hat missed a ton on holds. Some were full tackles that were on third down and would have gotten us off the field in the first half. The replay they kept showing of the third down passes where Mertz escapes were both egregious holds and the play is only not a sack because of the holds. It was pathetic.
A few of us were definitely complaining about it in the first half. #76 I believe it was, was holding on almost every play. I believe it was him as well on the critical third down that would have prevented the ensuing TD on the next play, where Hadden did the bump instead of tackling. There was definitely an increased effort in the second half but I definitely think it’s important to take into account how much of that first would have been different without the one sided nature of how that game was officiated. Each bad call or no call came at important parts of the game and seemed like absolute back breakers. : /

Then the second half….we’ll nvm lol
