UF was "vanilla" on offense - per UF fans.

Mark it down, every team that is on the Gator schedule will be watching our defense on how to shut them down. If we had a QB we would have won going away but the Gators will get beat this year.

UF's top 2 playmakers on offense(not including Tebow) were injured for the game. That's the reason there was not a single deep ball attempted by Tebow in the game.

E to the X to the C to the U to the S to the E!

How about: Meyer didn't want to be uncivil to Kiffin and decided not to put the pedal down.

How about: Tebow read something in the Book of Mormon about charity to the down trodden.

How about: Meyer has a lot of respect for Monte and didn't want to make him look bad.

How about reality: Our D owned you for the majority of the game. You know the truth. With something other than an anemic passing game, you guys probably don't get the W. That gnawing feeling in your gut is you not wanting to see what happens in Neyland in a year.

Sleep well.

The game was a snore. UT never forced them to do anything and Meyer is excellent at doing "just enough" in key games. Kiffin didn't play to win he played to keep it respectable. See the dive plays into the line down 10 with 5 min to go. UF ran for more than 200 yards and was one play from 30-6. The UT TD was aided by one of the worst intentional grounding non-calls ever seen. I'm glad I got to visit the swamp. I'm glad I took UT and the under but the game was NOT close. Kiffin will be fine as long as Dad hangs around.

That was objectively. Objectively, the grounding you mention was borderline at worst. The one play shoulda coulda woulda argument is typically for people too stupid to present anything worthwhile. Most recognize that the argument could be made exactly the opposite. Kiffin's playcalling reflects the weakness left his as a passing attack. He is immediately rectifying that on the recruiting trail and it has nothing to do with his father. In fact, he'll be fine as long as Orgeron is around.

they looked vanilla because we took alot of options away. our DB's played well and were able to get pressure on tebow. their "vanilla" play was more of a result of our schemes.

Not really. They don't have anything on the outside. We spent much of the day defending the outside. We would play differently with another shot.

"I got to watch some of the game. Looked to me like UF kept it pretty vanilla again. I too think it was sloppy and I think Kiffin's antics are going to put the biggest bullseye in the SEC on him, which is saying something considering the coaches, teams, and recent championships the SEC has won."

Geez.

Agreed. It's one of those with the most exposure though and that's one of the reasons, IMO, that UF continues with the "fan" reputation problem is because of posters such as those. Once UF loses a single game, be it this year or next, they will resemble "Charlie the upset UF fan" on youtube.

Good game NCGB.

One of their senior members even said a decent post was rare on the board when he was complimenting a poster for actually making one.

That said, there was an amazing amount of love for Berry. One guy even made a pretty good argument that he, not Tebow, was the #1 player in CFB.

and on a side note can you get intentional grounding if your not under duress?cause he was not being pressured at the time the pass was thrown.

It didn't help being without Deonte Thompson for the game but 1 receiver a offense does not make, even Percy. I was really concerned for both our offensive and defensive lines. On the offensive side, both DE's for Tennessee were constantly in the backfield. That, coupled with the 2 deep safeties didn't permit the long ball and so we played perfectly into UTs hands of playing conservative. On the defensive side, we couldn't get any pressur eon the few times Cromp dropped back and when UT did run it seemed like Hardesty or Brown were past the LBs before they got hit. Not good.

Overall, it wasn't thrilling. I knew we had the game in-hand throughout the second half and was just unexcited for the rest of it. Our playcalling on offense is, at this stage, missing Mullen - I don't care who you talk to. The Tebow read was called once every 4 downs and more often than not, Tebow ran it. He was running it with a minute left in the game. Either way, the game was pretty blah, as a Florida fan. I was in the small minority that predicted that it would be closer than the 30, 40, and 50 point spreads I had seen. This was too close. Monte's playcalling trumped our offensive playcalling.

Kiffin's sissy gameplan was to play not to lose big, and we're not so vain and stupid as to risk a certain victory guaranteed by the opposing coach's womanly philosophy just to beat the spread. So if we lacked the playmakers to stretch the field, why not just play ball control?

Yes in fact your are vain enough...see your fellow UF fans talking crap - "beatdown" "half a hundred" etc. You sound like unsatisfied old women now.

If FL could have put up 60, they would have.

Times, they are a changing.....

Yeah i have to agree UF's offense looks very vanilla, average at best. No Percy =No BCS national title. Prepare for the fall gators, hope its a rough landing.

They were vanilla because Monte Kiffin's defense FORCED them to be. Everytime Tebow attempted to drop back and throw a long pass, he gets sacked....3 on the day. THAT was why it was so vanilla...the defense took those big plays away from the Gay-tors.

I thought he should've opened it up or put Stephens in...but all CLK was doing was limiting Crompton's ability to screw up the game all by himself, and put the load on the running game. Can't fault him for using the strength of the team and protecting the weakness (Crompton).

Yes Papa it was that bad a "no call". A dry heave over the FL bench from the left side of the pocket to avoid a sack. I'll add that your other Vol fan also pointed out the FL only punted once. Seemed more than that - but like I said the game was a snore where one team wasn't trying to win and the other was doing just what they had to not to lose. I have a lot of respect for Monty Kiffin and I think he did have some impact but I wouldn't have termed it a "shut down" like an earlier poster did.

Or it could've been the fact that Tebow was sacked or pressured every time he tried to set up in the pocket.
