    The TE was coming across wide open with an easy 1st down. Mertz is just spooked.

    I would love to see the ball travel more than 20 yards in the air, I don't even care if anyone catches the thing. You know, kinda like they did on the first play.

    I think someone said it before. The scoring streak will really be in jeopardy after SEC play starts.

    Mertz got rocked twice in the 1st quarter so yes he may be spooked a bit

    That is the story of the game. Nothing else. Miscues on special teams for sure. But o-line has cost us so far.

    The Gator experience is unrivaled off the field and in the stadium.

    The issue since 2010 more often than not is on the field. Just need the right coach and/or the right pieces to come together.

    Jury’s still out on all of the above. But to put it mildly, Napier needs to be better everywhere outside recruiting.

    We are not playing well relative to the game of football.

    It's easy to say Pearsall should have caught it, but he didn't expect the ball to be coming and next thing you know it's in your hands. lol

    Pearsall stopped, if he continues forward easy catch and first down.

    Receivers are getting jammed easily and not getting open.

    Who sprints back to field a punt inside the five?

    One positive - that number 3 is all over the field!
