    With a 3rd stringer, tons of injuries, vs Texas, away game, we didn't have much of a chance to begin with. Still this team has fight and with a healthier team we could beat Texas.
    A question that has to be asked/answered after the season, how can we reduce a multitude of injuries. I still believe we need an elite OC and we need a proven and experienced S &C coach. Potentially, we could have most of our starting OL back for next year. I still think we could win 2 more games this year if Lag is healthy.

    Some will say we scored in the second half against their second team.

    I would submit they scored all game against our second team.

    It was 42-0 with 12:52 to go in the 3rd qtr. Can’t remember the last time UF was in that bad of a spot. Vaguely remember one of those Mizzou games in the Swamp was something like that, 45-0 maybe? Not good.

    When will Cam Ward learn his lesson about carrying the football in one hand down by his waist in the pocket? He's only had a major fumbling issue for the past half decade. This just so happens to be the first time it's bitten him in the ass at Miami.

    I apologize to everyone who I questioned about progress. Congrats to BN on the 17-14 2nd half victory, it's great to be a Florida Gator.

    I mean, we were .500 before, wins against Samford (free win, 3-5 FCS), UCF (4-5), MSU (2-7) and Kentucky (3-6), so we we're basically toast before as well.

    This game told me nothing about the gators except they have heart - which I already knew. Get some of our guys healthy and then we'll see how good we are. I think we have a good team.at this point of the season. We will have a chamce to prove it.

    Was at the game. Texas fans were cordial but not knowledgeable. They thought Warner was our starting qb and I had to explain the situation to them.

    When a group of people remove a cheer, calling it racist when it clearly is not, you know you have the wrong personality types in charge of sports. Send them to HR where they can thrive.

    Edit: I'd bet my bottom dollar that the c'mon man came from someone who works in HR or a general hall monitor who is likely the president of his HOA.

    Our DL and LB’s were all out there. Castell, Bridges, and Gates played as well.

    The excuses are tiresome.

    I'm afraid what is going on with the Golden leaks is related to foreclosing on that possibility.

    Power struggle playing out.

    Just imagine if we played in the SEC and took a pounding week after week.

    Isn't that the line when teams blame injuries?

    It is year 3. We should know everyrhing about our team by now. A blowout like this in year 3 tells me all I need to know.

    Yep, he didn't even mention we outscored them 17-7 from that point on. Some people will twist any situation to look bad, am I right?
