    Time to let the young guys on the outside play, what have we to lose? Lets see what they got.

    Then put a running QB in the game! See if that changes the situation...

    They’re not even playing. Haven’t seen Mizell or Jean all night.

    We were left in a similar situation that FSU was when Norvell took over. Took 3 years before they turned the corner. May be the same for Napier if he's the guy.

    No one expected double digit wins this year. This is a disappointment for sure, but Florida has had ZERO luck in this game too. No bounces. I think it's worse than it probably should be. But we also haven't helped ourselves much with penalties and dumb mistakes.

    We are young. Inexperienced. And have a bunch of transfers who aren't used to winning. Culture building takes time. And unfortunately, our culture was a dumpster fire a year and a half ago. I'm willing to give Nape 3 years. It doesn't happen overnight when you're left in the gutter recruiting wise, which Mullen clearly did. The lack of defensive talent on this team for the last 2-3 years is astonishing.

    Throw the ball 20+ yards - this is disgusting offense

    Defense will collapse as the season goes on as this offense continues to get smoked. Seen this story before. Could be an ugly season ahead.

    Before tonight, I was thinking 6-6 was likely, 7-5 would be good. Now I’m just thinking I’ll be happy if the scoring streak remains intact throughout the season.

    I figured we would be in a 2 back set and motion them out to get the ball in our playmaker’s hands

    or just hand it to them.

    We out gained them by a lot of yards in the 3rd Qtr but still got out scored.
     
  14. Yep. I am not seeing the benefit of having two OL coaches instead of having a dedicated OC, or in this analogy…two floor sweepers and having the CEO deliver pizzas.

    Defense does look better, but I think Napier’s MO offensively relies on respecting the run. If that isn’t working, the rest of the offense falls apart.
