    Agreed. The quotes in the article are very promising but we'll see what shows up at kickoff this Saturday.

    Does sound good. At least the effort is there. Man I'd love to see us come out fierce and focused. Post bye week night game against UCF. No excuses!

    It’s hard to drink the koolaid now after hearing similar promising stories prior to the beginning of the season. I will try my best along with the rest of you. My optimism is not high…

    MEH, they didn't really say anything. Did the D stick to their assignments and tackle any better???

    The pulse of Gator Nation is weak, coach has used up all of Gator Nation "Capital".

    Time to make a deposit!

    Am I the only one who thinks what was described should be the norm for all our practices?

    The statements coming from the seniors Marshall and Mertz are more damning to the program than encouraging. It has taken 3 yrs to have a competitive bye week practice?

    That's only when coach whips out his fancy plays written down in the back

    Oh man, that’s not encouraging at all, because so far the games have sucked!


    “Thought it was phenomenal. Physical. It was fast. It was game-like. It was very competitive.”
