They aren’t true fans. They are projecting their miserable lives onto us and hoping we hop on the hate train. We can make a case we easily could have put up a 50 piece on Florida today without our top receiver and yet people still want to point out negatives. We could give up less than 100 total yards and they would still not be happy. Let them wallow in their misery and let us live in happiness and enjoy the second win against Florida in the last 7 meetings. We haven’t been able to say that in nearly 20 years.Ive never witnessed a fan base that seems to hate being 4-0 and just beating our hated rival. It’s absolutely baffling.
We’ll duh. Who in the world was expecting us to beat Bama and Georgia in the second year of Heupel’s tenure? We are still short of defensive talent and that won’t be solved overnight. Some of you folks don’t have a clue what it takes to build a program in this conference. Expecting Heupel to make chicken salad out of chicken in less than two years is living in fantasy land. Tired of talking about it. I’ll take the 4 and 0 and move on to LSU.Regardless, we won’t last forever if the defense doesn’t get better.
Seriously. You guys need to objectively look at this. If we truly want to be competitive with Georgia and Alabama, the defense has to get better. You can say “scoreboard” all you want now, but if we give up 600 yards to UGA or Bama the result will be a loss in our favor.
The same way we got Hendon Hooker to commit after seeing the QB play in 2020. Kids want to play.Honest question. When recruits see our current DBs looking lost, do they say " Hey, I want to be coached by the coaches that are coaching a defense that is allowing record stats every game?" I mean how do you sell that to a recruit?

Ughh, they went for 4th and 2 from their own 28??? Nobody does that. When did they not go for it?? I know it sux they made all but one, but to expect a defense to stop a team 4 times on multiple tries is crazy. They basically cheated their way to a close game. They always play their best game against us and they held on every play and never got called for line holds. No way they didn't hold as often as he scrambled out of trouble. We won in spite of it, though it feels hollow after the way it ended. I wish we would have thrown a TD on that last 4th down we attempted instead of just trying to get the first down. It would have been nice to have not had all that drama. Makes hopes of beating them regularly seem like a pipe dream. We had to be twice as good as them to barely win.We lucked up and beat them. That was a piss poo performance. No one should be happy, we should expect more. The bar should be higher.
"Lucked up"???? They had no answer for our offense. None.
They haven't had to. Richardson and their RBs just run all over people.We have to celebrate the win but let's not act like we aren't going to have to improve a lot. This Florida offense looked like a juggernaut when they've had trouble completing a forward pass all year. Our home crowd got us this win.
