Do you feel like #12 & #13 and Abernathy are going to be ready to cover at a SEC Championship level with another year of seasoning? I'm only worried about our coverage going forward. I think we're fine upfront. A lot of times it seems our guys are in the vicinity of the play, but they can't seem to make the play. I like Jancek's scheme overall (do you?) but sometimes we just don't appear to execute it correctly. I was just wondering what you thought about our young cover guys and how you see it going forward.

Foreman is doing better. I have faith in Abernathy. Moseley = no comment. 😂😂😂😂😂

In the past, I have seriously thought about writing a letter to the SEC office about its officiating product. I am an attorney, so sometimes I think about such things.

I was in the process of getting home and putting kids to bed, so I missed the Moseley call. But this isn't the first bad call and won't be the last. It has been building for a while, and I have said for several years that it is a shame the most powerful conference in the country can't find competent officiating.

Murray was 20/28 for 223 yards and he also had 156 on the ground yesterday for A&M vs South Carolina.

Orth had 64 yards rushing yesterday, but he had 66 in one play so outside that play he had -2 yards on 10 carries.

Dobbs should be able to get loose again and if we shut down Wilds there shouldn't be much of a problem in this game.

That's a great way to put it. And all of a sudden the real Barnett showed up. Maybe coincidence who knows. I don't know how often they have a TE or RB chip on 9 at the start of the year.

Really though, everybody in the front 7 is playing with great instincts and speed. Foreman has been the weak link (see most passing TDs) but I absolutely don't mean to knock him he's playing his best and a great team player.

Barnett has been around all year. OL have been tackling him all year too. He'd have around 20 sacks if he wasn't been tackled to the ground.

I knew that. My post probably sounded more confrontational than intended. I like HG, just like I like most UF fans I know personally. But I really do believe UF's season is going as well as it is because we were misaligned on that 4th and 13. I think it was a fluke play they came out on the best end of, like so many other times in our miserable rivalry with them. And I really do believe UF's upside the rest of the way this year is limited by that offense, which is bad without Grier IMO. I think they lose to FSU and to whoever comes out of the West. And if somehow they don't, then they are facing a 2 TD or worse loss in the CFB playoff with Harris at QB.

Dobbs has a decent shot of gaining 1st team all-SEC QB. Prescott's passing numbers are better right now, but his schedule is substantially harder the rest of the way than Dobbs.

Right now:

Prescott - 173/260 2048 yds 14td/1int, 72 carries for 371 yds and 7 TD.

Dobbs - 127/217 1505 yds 11td/3int, 96 carries 438 yds and 7 TD.

I don't think Chad Kelly, Brandon Allen, Brandon Harris or Jake Coker are in the conversation at this point.

Martin opposite Sutton along with midseason rest has done wonders for him, I think. Their tight coverage has allowed a fraction more time for the somewhat less athletic members of our line (Vereen) to be disruptive from the opposite side, freeing him up a little bit from the double teams, holds, tackles, etc.

I love Martin and think he may be better than Sutton once all is said and down. He's a beast.

Next year when we have better nickel play by addition of Gaulden et. al. and are able to throw a mature and hopefully healthy Kyle Philips in the mix we will really start to produce well. Kirkland has already defeated his freshman wall.

Also Darrell Taylor is redshirting this year. I think he's got the potential to be another monster DE.

The scary thing is that officiating is clearly getting worse across college football. The Miami player was clearly down on the lateral play and the officials spent 10 minutes looking at it and still missed it.

Not only was he down, they missed the two real block in the back calls. There was possibly a fall word lateral as well. Any of those would have given Duke and Coach cut the win.
On the other hand why in the world would you kick it to them. In that situation kick it out of bounds let them have one play from the 35. I think the play from the line of scrimmage is more containable than a kickoff return .
Just ask Evan Berry :)

Evan Berry houses at least one more kickoff return. North Texas will kickoff to us at least once and he will have a great opportunity there. Plus, there isn't much team speed in our three remaining SEC opponents.

I wonder what the odds in Vegas are going to be for him to house a kickoff return in each of the remaining games? That would have to be some type of record correct?

The refs have proved they just pretty much do whatever the **** they want and roll with it. No consistency. No accountability from the conferences.

It's unbelievably bad

Except for the targeting call, did y'all notice how many holding calls went against the team playing opposite us? Are we becoming a favorite of the SEC home office? Should be for the rest of the season at least. Next year could be the start of something big if we get the calls! :)
