    How many Touchdowns did Charlotte give up in 6 games and what was the competition? Blame the coaches or players, the play on the field is the story either win or lose

    You might want to double check CMS record. Oh...and he's under ZERO pressure at UK.

    We need more explosives, for sure. Even Spurrier is saying as much. If Mertz has as much control of the play calling as Napier alluded to, then Mertz needs to toss it downfield a bit, call some pass plays get it downfield. (in the air!)

    Crap, more hustle, less mistakes, more creativity and being a bit more refined on the execution side of things would help. (Captain obvious here).

    A unifying effort and win would hopefully be the tonic needed to get back on the road the week after and have success against SC. But perhaps taking it one game at a time would be good too. I get a little anxious...:eek::confused:o_O

    Go Gators.;)

    You missed my point. Stoops was 26-36 at UK after six years, and ppl on this board want to fire BN if he loses to Vanderbilt. Ridiculous mindset. Look at Stoops, Harbaugh and Sark now. Leave BN alone and give the man four years.

    I’m guessing we’re not ready to settle for being KY. Although after last weekend we may be wobbling a bit.

    The UF job and the UK job are NOT comparable on any level using any metrics

    Again for those in the back…that is not my point. No one on any planet would think that.

    I think you've confused yourself. One of these (UK, Michigan, Texas) is not like the other. Yet you are comparing all three to the UF job.

    Despite virtually no pressure Stoops alternates decent seasons with bad seasons. Stoops has had a couple very good years .... wait for it.... by UK football standards! The guy would wither under the stress of an elite job.

    Same as last week, if we can run consistently we win, if not, we lose. I expect the D to bounce back.

    And yet wait for the apologists say but Billy’s oline is hurt. Same people that said Braun, Tarquin, and White weren’t losses. Can you imagine if we still had them?

    If Florida loses to Vanderbilt, then I hope it's lights out for Napier. Yes, beating TN was good, but losing to KY canceled that win out!!

    How about a little emotion from Billy and no more “ you weren’t asking us that when we beat Tennessee” comments? Said it several times.

    It’s how we lose and his attitude afterwards. Excuses only go so far. Braun and White are starting for power 5 schools. Telling me right now we wouldn’t love to have them both. We don’t have a right tackle or left tackle. Tarquin sure would be nice in one of those spots. Better than George. And Braun was a good guard that was athletic enough to play tackle.
    Why didn’t we grab Tight ends in the portal or a Keon Coleman at Wr?
    How about instead of losing our Linemen that are starting at other schools not grabbing George, Hudson, etc. etc..it does not take 4 years to win. Only if you make it that way. Very tired last year of hearing AR this and AR that. AR covered up a ton of deficiencies in this offensive system.
