    Puzzled by both. Running up to line of scrimmage at 1 with 3 minutes in the half was dumb also. You want to run clock. At this moment, the tenn qb gifted that td. Take your time, get the td... go up 10-0, get the ball coming out of halftime. Remove the energy from tjr stadium completely. Especially in this rivalry

    But you see that's why you need to go for 2. The game is in your hands at that point. It's not with OT, especially when I saw UT win the toss. Right there I knew the game was over. Go for 2 on the road in a hostile environment - end it on your terms.

    Napier hasn't beaten a single ranked team since his debut against Utah.

    Shout out the Dike... he was one of the reasons why we got back in this game... He wasn't alone, but he was great on kick returns and receiving yards in clutch moments.

    He's a good coach and a great dude it seems like. He's just not good enough to keep up with the best and doesn't have the humility to leave. He doesn't need the money unless he's as bad as investments as play calling. On second thought maybe he does

    Go back to middle of the road football and be successful and rich.

    This is hindsight but I would have been more ok if we went for 2 and failed, we really have nothing to lose and in the end lost anyway! A bad loss but I didn't really expect us to give them a game!

    He will also take with him the title of the worst football coach in Gator history.

    I agree. I think everything he did in this game was wrong except for this. The TO we had left was worthless. I think he threw out the crazy formation to get them to use a TO. He made a good coaching decision here. The only one of the whole night. Everything else he did was awful.

    Wouldn't have been this upset if he tried to end the game at that moment. Rpo with either baugh/wilson/badger. The crowd was still in shock from the td.... could've taken advantage

    The humility to leave? What coach just up and leaves because they're not having success? He's going to get fired like every other coach that couldn't hack it and that's fine.

    The one thing that I can see as plain a day, Napier has no problem assembling a talented team. He just has an ego so large that he cannot understand that he is NOT a play-caller... not an OC. If he had simply accepted his role as the CEO of the football program, from the beginning, we would be winning with the right OC
