‘23 Recruiting Forum: Official Florida Pregame/Game Thread

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

I didn't put all of it on them. I didn't say we didn't play poorly. I said the two drive kills, followed by the missed PI in the endzone on the next drive was the difference in the game. I think it was. I'm trying see the second half for what it was. Even though we did play like horseshit in the first half.

I thought the DL played fine. They got pressure on Mertz, just couldn't quite catch up at times, and I think some holding calls were missed. LBs were quiet. Herring struggled at times calling sets. The secondary was bad.

Most upsetting play for me in the first half was Hadden trying to knock down Etienne with his shoulder rather than wrapping him up, allowing him to run for that first TD. That was ridiculous.

DBs not wrapping up on "tackles" was blatant last year. I am shocked that they are still not wrapping up.

this offense won’t be **** this year bc the line is bad and the qB isn’t heady enough to get in plays and go on the fly without having to check with the Oc. This offense isn’t as fast without HENDON bc HENDON had a grasp of the whole game
7 doesnt
Who does this team beat? Seriously bc as the season plays out we’re gonna se just how bad this Florida team really is. We just lost to Ron Zook 2.0

7 missing reads again tonight?

I think the defense is still what they were last year.... Not very good..... The offense just isn't good enough to offset against good competition is my fear......I hope I'm wrong.

I worry we haven't brought enough talent at O and D line to do what we need to do.

Bruh! You didn't watch the game. Wtf.

Admittedly I haven't watched the game but ....

 

[KB5252]

Bru. You didn't watch the game. Wtf are you talking about.

I've watched them this year though. You really think the defense is improved? Where? In what facet of the game have they improved?

 

[Orange.]

TD drive killed right there.

 

[Orange.]

With all do respect....

[KB5252]

Watching this game, almost through the first qtr and the defense at linebacker and safety has been pretty damn bad. Linebacker play especially, they aren't where they should be.

 

[KB5252]

Offensive play calling on the second drive was too predictable.

 

[KB5252]

The offensive line is not very good

Not only did you not watch the game, you didn't read my post.

Just being out schemed on defense.

The first half is painful. I almost feel guilty for prompting you to watch it. You don't have to.

And some tried to argue that losing Pili wasn't a big deal

We REALLY missed him tonight. Herring wasn't ready.

Really missed Pili and Cooper

 

[KB5252]

Linebacker lapses are the big issues with defense so far. DB's aren't great but it's obvious they are taught not to jump and commit. Just play the body and run with them, keep them in front of you.

The linebackers have not been getting it done......

The d line, especially interior isn't getting home and being disruptive in run game. They are fine in pass situations.

Young guys will have to get up to speed on the field all at once instead of being rotated in behind the veteran.

Herring I don't think knew what was going on in the first half. I think we needed Pili reading the situation and making the right calls.

Okay, so I stayed up watching this Colorado/Colorado State game. Colorado State had this game won, then they crapped the bed. Poor defense at the end of the fourth quarter. In OT now.

This isn't against Deion, but I'm sick of these announcers sucking off Deion and Shedeur. I get it. They're the star attractions. But at some point, come up for air.

 

[Weezer]

Did they change the alternating possessions in OT rule?

 

[Weezer]

Former Vol Amari McNeill making some tackles for Colorado.

Never heard of him.

 

[Weezer]

Looks like Colorado State is going to lose. Shame. They had this game until they shat the bed late in the fourth.

Would be nice if this game humbled Colorado, but I doubt it does. Colorado State is a team they should have handled easily, but it's been a war.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Did they change the alternating possessions in OT rule?

I was confused by this too

 

[Weezer]

LMFAO! The announcer just asked "Do you believe now?" after Colorado wins in 2OTs against a team they should have manhandled. What a freakin' joke.

I honestly think they're in trouble next week when they play Oregon. Colorado and Deion are not this juggernaut that ESPN is making them out to be. I swear, this is like when they hyped up Woodson so much that Peyton was robbed of the Heisman.

And I'm not downing Deion. He's doing a great job so far. I'm not a fan of his cockiness, but his team is playing well. He deserves kudos for that. But he's not Vince Lombardi. I'm tired of the press hyping them up as more than they are.

 

[De La Cloobs]

TD drive killed right there.

There needs to be harsher actions taken against horrid officiating. That was an insane call.

Imagine the nail biter this game would have been had the refs not been objectively shite.
