    Note that almost all your list are on O. Offense isn't the glaring problem.

    I'd say we have missed on LB more than anything. It feels like we've been hurting at LB forever. I like a lot of pieces on DL, just too young and I don't feel like you get a lot of physical gains during the season. Its one thing to know your assignment, but we can't beat our 1v1's late in games, particularly.

    Yeah, those were "good" losses. Then again, Ark scored 3pts at home against MS st the same team that FiredCoach U scored 51 on. Yesterday, Ark looked good in a 10 - 48 home blowout loss to Aub. It appears that Ark is a Jekyll/Hyde team and mostly Mr. Hyde, but they sure went Dr. Jekyll against the Gators. Or do I have that backwards :emoji_thinking:. At any rate, don't pay attention to me. I'm just ranting and pi$$ed about losing again and again and again and again. And again.

    agree with all of this. Question though, would the LB’s look better if the DL created more push? A lot of times it looks like the LB are in the right gap but have to fight through the DL getting pushed back but then again…Ventrell Miller (except on passing downs because he just didnt have foot speed) never looked out of place like our current LB’s do

    Can we get a Dr. Defense to cure some of the Gator patients' ills?

    So you think if we had Justus Boone, we would be fine? Watching the games, we need a lot of help…especially speed and strength and depth at all positions.

    Lmao. I’m negative. You don’t read much. Show me where I’ve posted that Napier needs to be fired.

    I’ll wait.

    Can’t wait til this is no longer a usable excuse. Look at how many of FSU’s roster is transfers. They went out and got players they needed. We could have done the same thing. I hate that the college game has changed, but it’s changed. Adapt or get left behind.

    Yes, LB has been a glaring hole in recruiting for far too long.

    It'll always be an excuse, we'll lose a ton in the portal every year so we'll always hear 'we don't have the guys' no matter what.

    Worst defense in history goes way beyond the Jimmys and Joes.

    Arky is 3-7 and got slaughtered by Auburn. They’re a cream puff.

    So, if I am interpreting these post correctly. The excuse that we don't have the horses is, lets say "weak" when used as a reasoning for why we got obliterated. Am I getting that right or completely off base? His data would seem to indicate the UGA game is in line with what would be expected, but not this one.

    If Billy survives the 2024 season, we should start winning against ranked teams on a consistent basis.

    These were all pretty good coaches, I think. I could keep going, but this is a pretty good starting list.

    EDIT: They didn't all turn these programs into perennial NC contenders, but that's a ridiculous criterion. They all ended up being pretty good coaches.
