    Preseason you picked UF to beat UT?

    Then, they’ll match us against some team shooting for their tenth win, while FSU goes up against some 6-6 team in their bowl game.

    Good news is we don’t have many seniors that would skip the bowl.

    Coach needs to win the next 2. Just to get Gator Nation to calm down.

    Yes sir!!! For quite the same reason I didn’t think we’d beat UK. I’ve seen Milton play, we have TN’s number and it’s at home at night.

    preseason, the only game I thought is a almost definite loss is Georgia. The rest of them are just not insurmountable teams. I was hoping for 7-5 or possibly even better if we could block and tackle but we can still win any of these games besides Georgia

    Yeah we will see but Napes is 8-2 at home with losses to KY and LSU. We are a different team at home. Really need to learn how to take the same approach on the road.

    Learning to get up for road gangs is on Napier. He obviously has a problem. Surely he can see that and realizes he’s got to do something differently.

    Well, UF isn’t the only team in cfb with youth. A good many of them make it work successfully. It’s up to coaches and veterans to prepare them for road trip experiences.

    Some former players need to have a conversation with him. Cheston Blackshear (former OL 95-99/NC team) is on staff. Billy Gonzales knows! SOS is on site. There might be others. Get talking!

    Near term: beat vandy, then prove we can win on the road at usce.

    USCe will be pumped, they want payback for last years debacle. Rattler is a wild cannon and not telling what that dude does.

    I think the guys are up for road games it’s just playing fast, under control with discipline is the issue. Can you play fast but under control! They want it and are pressing to hard in my opinion. That is on coach to change the approach to get them to that next level of playing fast with discipline and under control.

    To me they look like they just woke up. Coming out of the tunnel in the swamp fires everyone right up. On the road we are flat every single time.

    Obviously last Saturday was rough but like Napier likes to say, the team has another opportunity this weekend. Hopefully, they come out firing on all cylinders. Good time for a home game.

    Definitely seems that way. Our linebackers were over running their gaps playing out of control and undisciplined. Add a Lambo leap penalty on special teams and the game was blown wide-open in the first quarter. Let’s get to 4-2. SC will be another chance the Gators can get the road win monkey off their backs.
