    Exactly. I'm tired of hearing about talent we're bringing in. Show me what the talent we have can do

    Lets see what Napier has to say on the after game press conference. I am sure that the 700 yards will be an interesting comment.

    Th whole talent thing is annoying and total bs. We are more "talented" than Kentucky, Utah, Arkansas, Sandy last year, etc. We are sure as hell were more talented than barely beating USF last year, Charlotte this year.

    Folks echoing this are the same ones last year saying Kirby Smart's jump in year two and for us to wait. They have to glom onto some narrative.

    11.5 yards per play. That's not coaching, that's not talent, that's not scheme. That is everything, every single facet of the defense didn't function.

    Based on what? Recruiting rankings? Because it sure isn't based on on-field performance for several years now.

    Wait, are you saying recruiting rankings aren’t gospel? Blasphemy! Top 5 classes cure all!

    I’ve been advised we just need the horses. Really, that’s all BN needs is the horses.

    Maybe they are. We will need a top five class in order to determine that however. I guess we will never know

    Seriously? Okay attack me. But you know full well we don’t have talent on the D-line and LB position. So fire Billy if you want. It still won’t be there. Will you magic it there with your Gator spirit? Lol

    everyone else has talent to keep Ray Davis under 200+ running yards but UF? South Carolina has more defensive talent to go into Athens and hold UGA to 24 WITH a healthy Brock Bowers?

    Um, no, his absence does not explain the score and stats of this game and the last. There are WAY more issues than a single football player. If you want, see my "Post-Arkansas thread" posted either Tuesday or Wednesday. As an aside, Arkansas played a 5-4 Auburn at home yesterday and lost 48-10. It IS telling.

    701 yards of offense tells you all you need to know.
