Neylands Maxims

[kiddiedoc]

After physically outmatching the Gators, turn to the General's Maxims:

1. The team that makes the fewest mistakes will win.

2. Play for and make the breaks and when one comes your way - SCORE.

3. If at first the game - or the breaks - go against you, don't let up... put on more steam.

4. Protect our kickers, our QB, our lead and our ball game.

6. Press the kicking game. Here is where the breaks are made.

Blocked field goal
Dropped INT
Kick out of bounds
Muffed punt
Shanked punt

The disappointment is overwhelming, but once again, it came down to the kicking game, and UF won the battle this time around. IN NO WAY did we deserve to win this game.

Bad situations got us away from a game plan that was WINNING (see 2nd half rushing stats). I just hope we can turn it around and come out strong against LSU next week. The Gators are certainly "beatable," and my gut says that if we win out, we will end up in Hot-Lanta.

"Clausen" threads: get a clue

"Fire Randy" threads: ditto

You can't win with mistakes like we made tonight, especially on the road. If you are blaming the coaches, the QB decision was OBVIOUS, and they aren't the ones looking away from a punted ball or deciding to throw the ball on a planned defensive punt bait. How in the heck you kick the ball off a tee out of bounds is beyond me.

Dead on, Doc....

The offense looked bad at times, but how do you focus on playcalling on a night when you Kickoff out of bounds, get a FG blocked, screw up a fake punt, shank a punt 8 yards and muff another punt ALL IN THE SAME GAME???

That,plus the way the Gators played on Defese and being damn near perfect on 3rd down as well

Pediatrician, it would be easier to stop the threads if we had gained more than 70 yards in the second half. This is the second game that we have been shutout in the second half.

Also...our special teams have been terrible for two years. Shouldn't there be some accountablity?

As a former HS kicker, that's a very valid question. Just kick it straight and let your boys do their job!

...number six kinda stands out, don't it.

? Sorry, but not following the aim of your post. Are you agreeing, or disagreeing?

 

[Lexvol]

Probably a little of both. If our offense plays to potential we certainly make up for our mistakes. In other words, it is hard not to blame our offensive game plan, and we must question why UT is not making any offensive adjustments at halftime.

Florida played a tight man to man defense and played 8 men in the box.
Our QB and WR's have to make them pay when they do that.
We didn't.

That and special teams miscues lost us the game. Period.
