‘23 Recruiting Forum: Official Florida Pregame/Game Thread

[Enki_Amenra]

The lifelessness of this team needs to be asked about and addressed. Why have they been so apathetic from the first snap at Virginia?

They are entitled because of last year's success. They think they can show up and people will roll over for them.

I wouldn't put in Nico in this game....this is Milton's game....I would start Nico against UTSA next weekend and let him play the whole game

Right because this game is all joe’s fault!!!!

 

[Ashevolle]

Yeah how dare he not pass all over bama

You're right. He's the second coming.

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

This is the hallmark of Heupel’s teams. There are no consequences for them. Was just like this at UCF and that was my main concern when he arrived

Agreed. I said it first game against UVA that we were lucky we didn’t get a bunch of calls and their attitude was huge. He doesn’t get on them ever

 

[Nash_Vol97]

They’re coaching around their quarterback and offensive line. I do think they’re doing it bit too much, though.

Exactly.

 

[headhunter15]

We’re not even going to get three more possessions

New clock rule and Florida being more than willing to drain the clock. That new rule sucks.

 

[Glitch]

We did not play well enough to win this game. I just wish the refs would stay out of it.

 

[VolNRaleighNC]

Right because this game is all joe’s fault!!!!

Joe’s got severe limitations which thus shrinks the playbook.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

3 TDs and we pull off a huge comeback!!!

 

[UTK]

5 mins off the clock. New clock rules also ruin any chance of a comeback. They’re legitimately killing college football slowly.

 

[VolGee4]

I’m not talking about the play calling, I’m talking about why it is the way it is. They don’t trust Milton. It’s as simple as that and it affects the playcalling.

They do trust him. He’s thrown deep balls since the beginning. Teams are playing two high safeties. Guess when UF played 1 high safety? First possession. Joe is simply doing what he’s taught to do.

 

[vols4lfe]

Do we even have a chance for three possessions at this point with the new clock rules, and our idiotic burning of two TO's?

 

[gainesvol82]

Don’t forget the missed PI on Thornton too.

How is it that every call seems to go against us man.

There were legitimately 4 different PI calls they could have mad on that play.

 

[Nuctech777]

He's 1-2 btw

Bc that has anything to do with him being our OC? He also took Alabama to the wire today. But again, I’m only talking about him as our OC. What a ridiculous comment by you by the way. Maybe take second and think before typing next time.

 

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

I wouldn't put in Nico in this game....this is Milton's game....I would start Nico against UTSA next weekend and let him play the whole game

I get that line of thinking. I also don’t think I’d let his first start come after not having played since week one against UVA where he only threw 3 passes. Nico gets the rest of the game for me for what little that’s worth.

 

[De La Cloobs]

We have actually outplayed Florida by quite a bit this second half. The refs essentially deducted points from us. We had two drives that likely would have put us to within a touchdown at least.

That third quarter officiating was atrocious.

 

[VolNash17]

I wouldn't put in Nico in this game....this is Milton's game....I would start Nico against UTSA next weekend and let him play the whole game

That actually ain’t a bad idea. See what you got. Get some experience

 

[GoBigOrange86]

We did not play well enough to win this game. I just wish the refs would stay out of it.

I think we could’ve won based on the 3rd quarter. I think the officials had that much of an impact, no matter how poorly we’re playing.

 

[Jackcrevol]

3rd year and getting spanked by a not-good Florida team?

the issue i see is that we had an opportunity to capitalize on a banner year, the excitement was high... and our offensive line is a massive liability. that inability to land top flight blue chip o linemen has hurt us. and that's the difference. sand for d line. i mean we may go another cycle without any top flight d lineman. that is a huge red flag.

 

[WebbCobb]

As soon as the refs call a straight game.

A high number of penalties isn’t an isolated problem for UT

 

[mrMet]

Agreed. I said it first game against UVA that we were lucky we didn’t get a bunch of calls and their attitude was huge. He doesn’t get on them ever

Oh yes, just like this is all joe’s fault like you said just 2 posts ago. Keep going

 

[Pepe_Silvia]

This is ridiculous all around, refs included. But staff deserves all the criticism in the world for this **** show of a performance

Yep, no excuse for this kind of game in year 3. Playing bums at offensive line and qb at this point is an indictment on the coaches ability to recruit.

 

[volbeast33]

Yes the offensive line and play calling is all his fault. You’re a ****ing clown

play calling and the line has a lot to do with Joes ability and i am huge Joe fan.

 

[berryvol]

That's like saying us losing this game doesn't matter. Of course it matters.

Us losing to an inferior team and underperforming is so much different from CU way outperforming expectations and losing to a superior team. Some of the sh*t I’ve said tonight has absolutely been reactionary but the CU stuff is certainly not.

 

[Ashevolle]

All on Joe. Lol

10 pts ain't enough. Joe ain't it. Maybe someday we can have a stellar defense, but until then, we need Caleb Williams.
