Florida defense flaw?

Naturally I expect Debord will take note of this, and respond by promptly running Hurd directly into the teeth of the defense on both 1st and 2nd down, thereby forcing us into lots of 3rd and longs.

Our median gain last year was 3 yards/carry. Our average was just north of 5 yards per carry. There were 10 carries that went 10 yards or better, 18 carries that went 5 yards or better, 23 carries that went 4 yards or better, and 27 carries that went 3 yards or better. One of my old coaches use to say if we can get 3 yards every carry, we got a first down. I figured that was the magic number. We rushed 51 times last year, including 3 times for no gain, 7 times for a TFL and 3 more for sacks. Our longest run was 62 yards which we will probably average against you guys this year and still rush 51 times so we'll have I guess 3,162 yards rushing against you guys Saturday. We get 0.164 points for every yard we gain on the ground so the final score will be something like 518 to what every you guys can manage. :hi:

Teams have been able to rush 3 and create pressure, so I'd doubt they have to blitz unless our line shows improvement (which we hope they do with Chance Hall and Jack Jones getting more playing time)

We need to get away from the horizontal passing attack and try to push the defenders back some. Otherwise it's going to look like the Gators have 15 players in the box to stop the run (and our swing / screeen passes)

Croom, Wolfe, and the slot WR on a skinny slant should get plenty of balls thrown their way on the seam routes down the middle of the field. Think the play we ran against NW in the bowl game. We hit those for a few big plays and that should make the LB back off or hesitate a little which will open up the running game and give Dobbs a little more time to find his WR.

The players are being over confident from Florida, that will work against them in this game. This means they are gonna be overly jumpy to cause turnovers, which in turn will cause blown coverage for gators. Adrenaline is a gift and a curse. Right now they are using it as a curse

I wish a certain tailback from 2001 could suit up for this game. :whistling:

Chance hall will change this line drastically. I promise. It will be a different line. They will work in unison. He been missing link

I agree. Jack Jones had a big impact when he came in. The thing that bothers me is, as bad as the line play has been, we haven't gotten anything out of Sanders, Mosley, and Boulware. Depth was supposed to be our strength on both lines this year.

If one lineman is off, the whole line is off. With hall back they will be solid. The guards won't worry about picking up the slack of the tackles and the center won't have to worry about picking up the slack from the guards...

VFL34 who do you think the starting 5 will be once Hall comes back?

I wash watching the UF UNT game and noticed something. Other than the Florida d pretty much exploding the UNT line each down, I noticed they blitz their linebackers every single play.

Now that is tough to handle from the QB perspective, gicen that the ends come in lightning fast, and if they don't get you the backer or the DT that sheds a block will. However, the center of the field is wide open about every down. We could cheat a bit and have a slot receiver ran a slant to the middle or a tight end leave his man and take the pass. Now I am certain their D can adjust to this. Perhaps they want that so they make the QB get comfortable and then make a dangerous pass. Still, might be able to keep the line honest this way and open up some run plays.

Did anyone else see this in that game or in other games? What is your perspective on this?

As close as we'll come to exploiting this is Dobb's designed QB draw. I would love to see a properly executed screen to Kamara over the middle. Its just not in our playbook. Look for lots of bubble screens!!!!

Watch the michigan and alabama tapes from their last 2 games---wide receivers were running open the whole game for huge plays. UT needs to throw deep early and often!
