Its not just poor game management, its the stupidest offense I've ever seen. And that is the #1 problem.

I won't get over this loss for at least another year, but I intend to try. Butch blew it, Debord blew it, but at this point screw it it's in the past, I'm more focused on Arky. Go Vols, beat the Hogs!!!!!

27 pts is not to shabby against a pretty fair defense. Defensive tackling would greatly help. One defensive lapse and the game was lost

Unbelievable! The article clearly stated there were holes all over the field in Florida's defense. And, people will go ahead and be OK with moral victories when we deserved the win.

I would have called a TO when Dobbs fumbled the ball out of bounds to settle him down and also to give him a couple of plays to run. Would have been a better idea than that mess!

Will Debord keep his job after this season??? Butch can do a lot better with some innovative young coordinator who knows the spread offense.

I think Debord was hired to help install more power runs, which is exactly what he has been doing. The issue is that if we run a lot people are gonna complain we don't throw. If we throw a lot people are gonna complain we don't run. I'm not saying that we have found a good balance, because frankly we haven't, but somewhere there is a balanced offense between those extremes.

I watched the replay last night. Dobbs did have an awful game of passing the ball. He was very inaccurate and had a lack of touch on the ball. It must be a mental issue because we have seen him be good to very good at times. He just seems nervous back in the pocket at times.

Balance has been lacking for some time. During the Tyler Bray years it was the exact opposite, all pass and no run.

Some semblance of balance would be nice.

We scored plenty of points. The defense was the problem down the stretch. We quit blitzing and ran the same defense over and over.

This is a really detailed breakdown. Our receivers dropped balls that should have been caught. Simple as that. Von Pearson and Josh Smith in particular. You have to help your QB out.

How does it make you feel knowing there is virtually no chance it changes this season and highly likely it will be unchanged for 2016? Can you imagine what the offseason is going to be like? ...35 weeks of no hope for the season, nothing to be excited about, no recruits committing who can overcome coach's scheme. Nothing but despair each and every day week after week.

It's almost been a week. Time for me to address the myth that Tennessee was so much clearly the better team.

You relied on trick plays and a run by Dobbs that should have been a tackle for loss. That's how you got your lead. But don't fool yourselves that you were a lot better team. I'd say the two teams were very evenly matched. And Florida gritting it out and scoring twice in the last 5 minutes or so had a little something to do with the outcome.

Last year you had the better team, I'd agree. But this year I think it was awfully close and wrong to use the notion that it's all on coach to talk yourselves into thinking you had clearly the better team.

I don't think a single person has mentioned a moral victory. Everyone knows we let 2 slip away.

But I really don't understand the harping on the offense that scored more points on FL than we have scored on them since 2004. It was enough to win regardless of how the points were scored. Defensive lapses on 4th down were our down fall more than any other thing.

Anyway... It's the day before Ark. Past time to move on.

Players have to make the plays. Those CBs let that guy run right by them. That was on the players. Letting you convert 5 4th downs is a schematic problem. There is obviously a soft spot there that could be filled with the right alignment.. Doesn't matter. You guys pulled another one out of your backside.. To a casual fan with no dog in the hunt, if he were watching that game he probably would have said Tennessee was better. Still doesn't matter. It's how they lost, the coaching blunders, and lack of getting off the field when it mattered that lost that game.

This is suppose to be a run first offense. That is CBJ desire - power running. He would run it every play and fast ( like Malzahn sp?) until it was stopped if he could. One of our problems is the design and execution of the passing game. If you are going to run, run, run, then you have to be able to beat the defense when they start putting 7 or 8 in the box and start run blitzing. Until CBJ and DeBord figure that out we will be one dimensional.

UF was definitely the better coached team, specifically when it comes to managing the game and getting your young players to perform. Half of UF's offense is freshmen, including the Grier to Callway connection.

i would imagine as a Gator fan y'all have to be getting tired of the narrative of this game being how TN lost it, vs. how you won it. it's like they give you no credit at all.
