The opportunities to get a sack were few with how UTC played. They ran the ball on 3rd and long and when they weren't doing that, they were calling 5 yard out routes. They were intentional on getting the ball out of their QB hands which is why we only had 1 sack. They only attempted to push the ball down the field a handful of times.

Pearce will play his normal amount of snaps and be a problem against NCST.

Right, but you don't just sit a top draft pick if he's 100%. I've never seen that. He can get tfl, he can get pressures, he can get some game reps to be more ready for a game that matters.

Jared Verse wasn't sitting out vs scrubs last year, you just don't see that unless they were making sure some health issue was 100%.

UTC was cut blocking too which increases the chance of injury. I'm not sure it was worth the risk giving the situation. It doesn't take much to tweak a knee or ankle.

i saw that a couple times and after one particularly dicey moment (cut block on west), I magically didn't see JPjr the rest of the game. pretty obvious the staff didn't see the need to endanger him.

Throughout the game i saw Pearce on the sideline getting into people's ears, coaching them up, etc while still in full pads so it seems like he had his 10 snaps or so and then staff is going to let him loose for an entire game destroying McCall

I kind of want Billy to have some little success so they keep him around. I definitely don't want Beamer to have any, I'm not worried about usc hiring a great coach and becoming a great program that makes our lives difficult.

I hope they fire Billy sooner than later so it will be stricklin doing the hiring….I don’t want them to bring in a competent administration first.

If we played him 10 snaps against NCST I would see your point, but this was against a FCS school.

If UTC was throwing the pill all over the field I would see your point as well. But they werent doing that. They were trying to get their check and get out of there as healthly as possible.

He is fine health wise. We were able to play alot of guys which was the goal. It's a long season and we need Mr. Top 5 pick for the SEC/Playoff games. Don't work yourself up over this, I'm just as excited bc I think you agree that this is the best team we had in a long time. Man it feels good.

Enjoy the ride. GB🍊.

Mexico City.

There's a huge anti-Gringo movement in Latin countries among some locals. Just goes to show that racism breeds among the poor and uneducated. When we feel powerless and can't think clearly enough who/what to blame, we tend to go for the low hanging fruit.

I was in Mexico City earlier this year. It’s a sweet city!

They need to give Napier a long term contract. That kind of commitment will be very beneficial........🤫

Florida was historically irrelevant in football before DAD made one of the worst decisions of his life and went back there.

While he only helped build UF to have later suaccess, how UT handled his departure took us from poised to win multiple NC's over a couple of decades to a 16 yr drought for even a conference championship.

Not only that, but it allowed Byrant's/Bubba's ascendency with the vacuum left by UT's decline.

If we thought the 90's were fun, what the 70's would have looked like under DAD would have reshaped SEC history.

They aren't southern. They live in a giant stagnant pond covered in scum. They are arrogant, even academically. They are just gross They are USCjr just in a state with 10x the local talent.

I want the fallout from this game to set their program back a century.
