Why are we playing Merk? I get he’s done things the right way and all that but dude is leaving. Going to be the same crap next year when GMac struggles because he has no experience.

What you talking bout Willis?
He’s probably gonna throw at least 8 passes this year 😉

Really hoped we’d look sharp & see GMac get some real work.

Disappointing that didn’t happen, do like the youth on D. Think we can be pretty good if we keep them & keep adding more talent

Need a port hole qb for sure. I don’t think Mac would last 3 games in SEC play unless he bulks up quite a bit. Oh well, nice to be able to grumble about a 30 point win. I don’t think we have a player that’s a team leader and fires up the team. We need a Drew Gilbert on the defense next year and a junior or senior transfer qb.

No we don’t need a portal QB for sure. He will put on weight. We will be fine at QB next year.

Really is a shame not getting Gmac more snaps in this game. Dont understand why we are giving Merk the 2nd string snaps. He is gone in January and we are gonna go into next year with a starting QB with absolutely no experience at all. This staff baffles me sometimes.

Never in doubt.

Won by over 30.

Still sloppy and not super crisp, but I think that's identity of this team.

This season may come down to the next two weeks.

Unfortunately, after the events of today, I have little confidence against the Gators.

I remember back in the day, our 2nd unit oLine would come in a game like this and just maul folks.
Back up RBs like a Onterrio Smith would run for days… smh what happened to our line of scrimmage dominance

I think it’s S&C

Remember how weak we were because Dooley did it care?
Then started off good w butch and switched to a soft S&C guy because the soft players complained?

To me it just doesn’t look like we have an imposing, strong, in shape team.

We're just a young team, the line is a concern, the one thing I don't get is how we flipped from not able to pass block well but run block well last year, to the exact opposite this year. Part of me thinks it's scheme but I can't completely say with certainty.
