    Glad he's a Gator. He has done everything he can to win. He deserves a stout line and a solid defense.

    That game was exactly when you want to get your backup experience. Unfortunately the backup is going to get more experience when we are getting blown out later in the year.

    Plus, the backup was pretty damn good!

    Excellent 1st road experience. Happy to see him get to execute the 2 minute drill.

    Agreed but I was referring to the TA&M game when Mertz heated up but was replaced to suit the "plan." Much discussed. Wasn't clear, sorry.

    Mertz had been a really good QB for us the last two seasons.
