    There always has to be a turd in the punchbowl. Gawd, can't you just enjoy a win. Do you have clue as to why they use motion?

    You understand that I was describing the staff and giving them benefit of the doubt- that we don't know as much as they do. But they need to have more breadth and depth to their play calling. We should not have to describe decent alternatives to their odd, predictable, and ultimately low percentage plays.

    A&M might be bad but I will take the win especially since I thought they will lose. You guys who thought 8-4 might be right

    Nice win. This team needed it. And finally able to shut up Jimbo at his house.

    No, I'll say whatever I want. Let me know when I lie, because we are lucky that A&M actually is a bad team.

    I must have been excluding the first half.

    You should start a Negative Nellie Forum so all of your ilk can opine about all things wrong with the Gators. You're an embarrassment that you can't even enjoy a victory.

    The defense looked entirely different in the second half. They showed some intensity, covered more closely and challenged throws. Other than Eastern Washington County High School, that has to be our best half of defense I've seen this year. Hopefully, they can bottle some of that up and apply it to the rest of the games.

    We must have watched a different team today - I found the offense was in rhythm and very efficient both passing and running. The motion was effective at keeping the defense guessing and the team executed well.

    Our supposedly depleted team... We played a lot of man and that seemed to work really well. Imagine that? I guess we could not have played more man sooner... ? Lets see what happens next couple of weeks. But A&M stinks, end of story. If they don't stink and we finally allowed our players to play a winning defense, then that's a different issue altogether and it should mean our defense is ready to shut some teams down.

    We needed this game badly. Lets see where it goes next week. A loss would have been a disaster. A couple of more wins this season will help us... more than we will ever know.

    1. the post is correct in that TAM is not a very good team.
    2. Also correct in that although we looked good today that there is plenty of work to do if we want to perform the same against most much better than us teams.

    I must recommend a video to you called Sports Go Sports on YouTube.
    This might help you understand that your "anger" is quite silly.

    You say that "A&M stinks, end of story." But then you keep right on going.

    The motion does almost nothing. Unless it's a pass play, or AR will actually keep the ball. But in a read option it essentially puts a would-be blocker behind the LOS.

    Lets just say the offense will be pretty good once the staff installs and calls the plays we need.

    I'm not angry. I know that A&M is a very bad team. My point in the whole thing is we won, and he still posted nothing but negativity. Not a f'ing good thing to say. Also, don't be so condescending.

    Our playbook is small. We finally saw AR throwing the check down today and X got 8 yards. He needs to do that more to keep the offense honest.

    Overall, our plays are long developing and our OLine isn’t that great. That’s a recipe for plays getting blown up before they start.
