That speculation of Bray, Hunter and CP leaving for the NFL draft were very premature. This doesn't ruin an entire season, and I think we still have an upper tier SEC caliber team.

Nevertheless, what we need is for those 3 to return next season, and if the staff can pull off a monster recruiting class, we might be the team we thought we had tonight.

We need to go lights out on DL recruiting, cause UF just showed how critical of an advantage it can be, to have premiere talent there. Same with RB. Having either Derrick Henry or Derrick Green, would have made a big difference tonight.

Bray and Hunter lost millions tonight. It's that simple.

As I stated in another thread, losing Bray to the NFL after this year should be welcomed. I think we've seen his ceiling.

NC St is really the only decent team he has a win against since being at UT -- after Alabama crushes him and his ego he will be another Jevan Snead

Kinda hard to out-recruit other teams when you can't out-coach them.

What this game revealed is the fact that this team doesn't have the heart to play four full quarters of football against a mediocre Florida team. Face it, they wanted it more then we did. Sure, we can beat up on these "cream puff," teams, but when it comes time to sack up against a hard nosed SEC team, we quit. Dooley has not won one single game against a ranked SEC opponent. At least Fulmer would win that one game a year that he wasn't supposed to. I have been a fan of the VOLS for 30 years. Dooley should be embarrassed at the way this team played tonight. In my opinion he should be apologizing to us fans for the way they gave up tonight.

Most our recruits were at this game, good luck with that monster class.

I wouldn't go that far. Last I saw ESPN has Hunter as the #1 WR in the 2013 class. Unless he steps up dramatically for the rest of the season, his stock definitely took a hit for coming out this year. Teams will probably be worried about the ACL and the drops he's developed this year. Bray is nowhere near ready as shown today. Put pressure on him and he makes terrible decisions.

This is the first post I have seen in this "pandemonium" that I agree with tonight. Only time will tell. I hope that in a few months we are looking back on this and thinking "that UF game is when things turned around" and "if we hadn't lost to UF, those guys would have gone to the draft, etc etc".

But they play well against the Georgia State's of the world...
