    Given that I have no idea how 1st, 2nd or 4th quarter scoring was, I have no reason to be hopeful or disgusted. Idk

    We are cool with sitting on a 3 point lead in the 3rd quarter and not trying to score again?

    There are three kinds of lies.

    Lies, damned lies, and then there are statistics.


    I am not going to say what my reply is about. Take it for what it is.

    To be fair to Bobby, since we (including me) can't tell what this means, I would ask him to explain.

    Two conclusions:

    1. Napier does not make halftime adjustments anticipating or responding to how the opposing defense will adjust.

    2. Napier takes his foot off the gas.


    End conclusion: we need an OC not named Billy Napier.

    It means opponents made adjustments at the half, while we we didnt?

    In 2023 3rd quarters, if I counted correctly:

    Gators out scored opponent 4 times: record 2-2

    Opponent out scored Gators 5 times: record 1-4

    Gators and opponents scored the same: record 2-1

    Conclusion? Score more points? Keep the other team from scoring? Both good ideas.

    I’d be curious to see which of those times we received the kick off to start the 3rd

    At least in 06 you could count on us to have a 3rd quarter meltdown. This is from my memory.
    Note- not vs Ohio state but much of the rest of the year.
