After everything that happened tonight my respect for Jaylen Wright has grown so much. Kid is a verified stud and even when the game was out of hand he was running his hardest

Wright has officially reached Dude status in my book. Shame we fell behind by so much and couldn’t ride him to the finish line in the second half.

Florida is not good at all. It’s not a good sign for our season. That team couldn’t barely score ten points against Utah with a third string QB. Unless we change QBs and some OL, we’re going to struggle.

Agreed
Florida is bad
20+ year of losing in Gainesville is embarrassing

Number 5 is a pussy and needs to be benched

Number 2 is still slower than pond water and the fact that a player better hasn’t been recruited to take the place of 5 and 2 is ridiculous and that coach should lose his job

Joe played better when they seemed to open up the offense in the second half

Oline played better when we got going bc the truth is they probably aren’t great right now but when we’re moving they have an advantage

We miss pili, the young lbs will get better with growing pains unfortunately but they are gonna be good

OL is a much bigger issue, and that will be helped if Cade comes back but it won't be fixed. OL recruiting isn't great either. Just not good.

True. I think our offense doesn’t do well with noise. Every away game we struggle. USC and UGA ate the snap count up and made the OL look bad.

GA and AL looked like **** today too.

But they didn't have their games stolen from them. That's the difference.

Playing a bad game does not establish a "moral principle" that we didn't "deserve" to win, and what the SEC crew did was THE difference between winning and losing.

Florida didn't "deserve" to win after all of those bogus calls. I say this as a challenge to people who like to play the "deserve" game.

Can't put all of this game on the refs. We played poorly. Especially the OL and the secondary.

This would have been an all time classic comeback if we'd pulled it off in the second half.

I hate for our guys who were playing their hearts out, like Bru and Wright.

I love when Bru just knocked that Florida dude on his azz on the screen catch. Wright had some hard fought runs in the second half too. Those two were giving their all to lead us on a comeback

I just got home..... Do I want to watch this? Sounds like we didn't get it done on the d line and couldn't clean up at linebacker.....I saw too much of this against VA for my liking.

If the defense isn't very good up front..... The question is where do we improve it? We haven't really signed a lot of prospects inside....... And we didn't have much luck in the portal this go around.

I'm a little worried. Sounds like Florida dominated the first half and coasted to the finish line.

Need to fix the OL before we worry about switching QBs. Nico will play just as poorly behind this OL. Give Milton a chance behind a functioning OL.

That’s the thing, though. This offensive line is what it is. It’ll be a little better when Coop is back, but him being back ain’t going to fix everything. It’s going to still be an average OL at best. We need a QB with the mobility and playmaking ability to overcome that. Joe lacks both of those. Is Nico the answer? Won’t know until we try.

Some sobering facts that will hurt people's feewinz...

1. Joe is not it, and plays like a unmotivated puss. No fire, no drive when things don't go his way. Big talk, no walk. Put Nico in for experience the remainder of the season and call this one a wash at this point.

2. Heup may be getting exposed for the UCF coach he and his staff truly are at this point. This was a defining moment for this staff and they failed miserably. No argument.

3. Banks and staff should have their pink slips on their desks by 8am Monday.

4. Disappointed that there is truly this much talent on this roster and it can't be coached into a fine tuned machine at this point. A Waste of talent. Conf USA coaching.

5. Those that think this team and Milton will hit their stride after this game and come on strong the second half of the season are living in a dream and probably still wear masks alone in their car.

6. We will go 7-5 or 6-6 and will get at least 2-3 high-tier de-commits by early signing period and will struggle to sign a full class unless we just bottom troll for 3* to fill out the class.

Pretty much. We had a chance in the second half, but lack killer instinct. Also the refs swalliwed their laundry and let Florida get away with lits of penalties down the stretch. Nico might have the "IT" factor. We might see him start closer to the end of the year given how it looked tonight.

We really missed Coop and Pili.

He's average. Any average qb behind a bad OL is going to look bad. Put him behind a good OL and he'd have confidence and process things better and look really good. We need a QB who can overcome a bad OL, and he's not it. We'll have a 7 or 8 win year and hopefully have a better OL and a great RS freshman QB next year to get us back to ten wins.

Idk about the 7 wins part but I agree with everything else. He has high potential but just can’t carry a team. Defense in the first half let him down along with the coaching staff

Have not recruited very well on the OL and it’s going to show up big time in the future.

Agreed. Rattler will get his. But Heupels teams at home are hard to beat. Plus you know those players want the SC game the most.

Hope you're right but I'd be lying if I told you I was confident at this point. I think the team that struggled against Peay is probably who we are. The defense isn't good.... Again and the offense isn't anywhere near as good to offset it.
