    First time in her two years I’m questioning whether Bohan is right for this gig.
    Hope it’s a short term aberration but the offensive problems are now her entire tenure with little improvement. And now even the defense is looking suspect.

    Announcer says, "UT clearances are heading straight to the feet of Florida players' jerseys."

    I'm not there yet. I hate to say it, but Florida's talent is clearly at the bottom of the SEC. The entire team struggles to pass accurately, and their first touch of the ball is often hard and uncontrolled.

    That said: you're correct that they seem to have no concept of what they want to do on offense.
    Hinnenkamp is good at breakaways, but otherwise is a non-factor on the field. Without the ball, she has two speeds: jog and walk. And she's not the only one. Coach has got to put a stop to that.

    Yeah to be clear, I’m not that upset we lost, but we should at least be competitive against teams like this.

    This was still a rebuilding year, I’ve said all along this was a 3-4 year project. But there needs to be improvement from last year, and right now I’m not seeing it either in talent or strategy. And the recruits we’ve gotten so far for next year aren’t going to move the needle either if their rankings are accurate.

    We didn't beat a bad Mizzou team at home. We won't beat any SEC team.

    Through 2 games we are the only sec team without a win or tie.
    And we didn’t win a single sec game last year. So it’s a really ugly streak.
    7 straight losses to the vols too.

    Defense is improved, but they have no clue how to get their offense going. Just can't get any decent shots, or even corner kicks to stir things up. 8 shots for the match to 13 for UT and only 1 corner kick to their 8. I have to blame the AD for letting Becky Burleigh stick around too long and allow this program to sink to the depths that it's in. Burleigh started Gator soccer and won a national title early on, dominating the SEC for years. But she was allowed to stay too long when things started going south. We've gone from the elite SEC program to the bottom of the pile. We're better this year than last, but still have a long climb to get back to respectability.

    holy cow, just a few weeks ago people were on here singing her praises and now throwing her to the wolves. Geez man we were awful the last few years, she is just getting in a recruiting groove. I am not expert in Soccer and everyone knows that. But I have friends who have played and coached at very high levels who specifically said we are missing two pieces bad right now. Two Alpha females at midfield and forward(I am repeating because I have no idea who is who) but I know a better product when I see it and when we played FSU I saw a much better product then last year. Even in the last 2 losses to me they looked more competitive and better then last years squad. I am willing to give this woman another good year after this.

    UF just plain ol' outworked UK throughout the first half (with just a little dropoff for the remaining 5 minutes after the goal).
