I actually liked that play. WR should have caught it as it hit him in the hands. I had no problem with the call.

Only problem I had is who they put in that spot to catch the ball. I liked Holiday as a prospect and I hope he ends up being great, but shouldn’t it have been someone that has actually made a catch in a game for us?

This seems to be hard for most people (myself included until recently) to grasp but I’ll say it again: we are that level. The Tennessee way is to hire cheap or hire in house. That’s it. We have never pulled a Mel Moore and we won’t. The admin has made it clear they’d rather be Vandy than Bama. If they did just a little bit of homework they’d see how winning has elevated Bama in every area possible. But that’s not us. We got lucky with the 90’s and early 2000’s.

Truth. The game plan nearly worked defensively. Credit to them for something that at least partially frustrated UF.

You just can't have 24 yards in the 1st quarter and 114 yards TOTAL in the first half.

Sucks, but for once it seems playing Shrout/JG/Maurer may have given us a chance. We had the deep passes available, but not the QB to deliver.

Man - you are on HB nonstop. Was his first start as a true freshman with very limited reps coming into the game. He missed some passes, sure. And that’s to be expected. He also had to work with horrible play calling. And had some passes where his WRs didn’t make an effort on the play.

You’ve been on him even in the limited reps he had earlier in the season. Starting to get a little Midfielder/Bray vibe here.

No question, HB should be the starter now. I get if he wasn’t ready at first. I get if JG knew the play book better and had better chemistry early. I get if Shrout scared the staff and Maurer had outside issues that no one should knock. There is zero doubt in my mind (not a football expert by any stretch) that HB is the best QB on the team. He showed it on the field. Play calling was questionable at times (like always) but seriously, he just went and played the right way. We have so much talent on this team, I hope Pruitt post game is just coach speak and he sees what everyone else sees. If so, and he keeps recruiting, we seriously are so close to being really good. Put this in the game thread but had to copy to get @Bassmaster_Vol and @HankHill thoughts.

Bailey will be even better next year under a new head coach in a better scheme. Darnold jr.

Only issue with that is, if you throw someone in who isn't normally in there, it kinda gives it up that you're trying a fake.

The fact it was Holiday probably made it more of a surprise. Ball hit him in the hands. You can't ask for more from a punter. Holiday should absolutely have caught it.

Don’t think I’ve ever not watched a minute of a Florida game. I’m only now catching up, why did Shrout get so much PT? Looks like HB did decent based off box score, he could have used Shrout snaps, no?

Inexpicably pulled for the last two drives. Yeah, it would have been nice to get 15 or so more passes in when Florida wasn't teeing off on him everytime he dropped back.

Don't watch the game. Worst playcalling of the season.
