    Mertz is definitely not the problem in this offense. He is accurate, smart and savvy. He needs help.

    Etienne needs to get 2/3 of the carries...Johnson is tough, but Etienne has similar toughness and much better speed and vision

    Our special teams and secondary are big weaknesses.

    The line needs to make some holes open and get the running game going

    The offense is so much better in 11 vs 12 personnel. I really wish BN would just keep doing it until it doesn't work.

    I don't particularly care if we have a guy with that title since other teams do just fine without one. that said what we're doing right now is terrible and has to change.

    Our secondary is young, but TN's is just bad. We need to get to it if our OL can hold.

    UT will make a change and make sure Mertz can't roll out of the pocket to his right and Mertz will have to make throws from the pocket

    According to their website, UF has 77 people between coaches and support staff and yet special teams play like they have never met a coach. They have people to attend to all this minutiae and somehow a big part of the game looks like an afterthought on the field.
