Milton's good at hitting grandma in the second row. The receivers don't even try anymore because they know on outside the hash routes that need loft that they cannot jump that high.

Heup is wasting on a lot of time and reps on him. Hooker is the #1, move HB into #2 and move on. Might win some games if he will.

Ok boys and girls. Honest opinion. I expected a lot worst. Jimmy Callaway drop on 4th down was the nail in the coffin. It is a one possession game if he just makes that easy catch. We played well for the most part although lots to improve on. Hyatt has got to improve. Idk what his deal is. Evans looks good and defense did well for MOST of the game but depth hurts there in the long game. I feel better about the Missouri and UK games after that. Heupel called a mostly decent game with a few errors. I know I’ve said it a lot but we look a lot different if Callaway catches that ball. We can win 6. Gotta recruit better talent and we will be ok.

I think we can get to six if we can stay healthy.

We were a great team in the first half. We lack depth, obviously-- one good player goes out, the team struggles. Hooker is the quarterback. I hope he isn't hurt. I hate Florida team-- they intentionally tried to hurt both Hooker and Evans. Same crap, different year. With Hooker, I think we have legit chance to beat the teams that aren't Alabama, Georgia and probably Ole Miss. Our receivers need to catch better. Hooker made very few bad throws.

This year, all he can do is keep the boys motivated and playing hard, and getting to a bowl.

Has to hit transfer portal, juco, and as much athleticism and speed you can find in the offseason. I think next year looks more like Ole Miss last year. Offense great, defense bad. The defense will take longer to sure up.

I suspect the transfer portal will begin to dry up for us, as far as players who can come in and make an impact. I feel we lose more than a handful at the end of the season ourselves.

I disagree, we are missing the equivalent of a recruiting class of depth and starting players, we aren't going to resemble an Ole Miss, closer to a Kentucky.

I like Heupel, and feel like he could have been the guy if we'd hired him instead of Pruitt. I'm not sure he can survive these expectations given the lack of talent and our challenges recruiting players. We and he are in a very difficult position.

We weren't great, but we were good enough to win. Florida didn't execute well in the first half, but their depth won out.

More reps to HB behind Hooker. Milton was getting those this week instead of HB. Give him more reps with the #1's and 2's for when Hooker gets banged up like tonight.

Too many three and outs with Milton. Most times, receivers don't even have a chance to catch-- either over their head or way too hard.

It must be exhausting to have such a constantly negative outlook.

I think every game he plays it’ll get better and better. Somebody check out Kentucky’s stats. I’ll take our guy any day and twice on Sunday.

Yeah health is key. Watching all those guys go down makes me nervous about getting to six wins for the first time.

I recall Pruitt’s first year where the team was so depleted and worn down by the final two games they just got railroaded.

Yeah, for sure need to get & stay healthy.

Got some studs on this team I hope they keep playing hard like this all season.

We get healthy for that last 5 game stretch we may surprise Georgia, they seem prone to get upset.

The only thing that we’ll surprise Georgia on is when they get to play their backups in the 2nd quarter instead of the 3rd… we are WAY too thin and lack talent to compete with good SEC teams much less a Georgia…. Need to get the McDonalds machine back up and running for some players
