Great, great win! Lots of players contributed but Mertz definitely should get some extra credit. He made some crucial plays when he absolutely had to. I was somewhat disappointed in our defense; especially on third downs. Our blitz packages don't seem to be very sophisticated.
The only thing holding GM and the offense back is consistent pass blocking. Hence, all the short throws to keep the offense on track and the chains moving. If the oline can generate 1-1.5 more seconds on the deeper routes GM will look much more like the player many on here have been clamoring for It has been fun to watch the team grow in 2023 and Billy acknowledged as much post game. Its only 20 games into his tenure and despite the deliberateness of the process we are seeing progress Let him stack up consecutive recruiting classes in successive cycles and watch the emergence of a PROGRAM not lightning in a bottle
One thing that really stuck out to me in this game was defenders slowing up when the first Gator got to the ball, then trying to catch up when the tackle wasn't made. Play until the whistle blows.
I live in Columbia. I went with my wife and in laws who all went to USC and are huge fans. I'm a UF grad. The moment they all started mocking the Chomp, I told them mocking the Chomp is a curse. They now believe me. If you saw a guy in Florida gear losing his mind in the middle of all USC fans, that was me. Go Gators!
I think Billy realized he was going to have to change things up. 500 yards of total offense, he let Graham off the leash.
Okay, here is the primer. This is NOT a "preview" where they use a bunch of snippets of the movie to get you to buy a "prime time" ticket to only find out that the snippets have NOTHING to do with the actual movie. This is all about the real movie and what I saw: This WAS a change-of-course for this program. I won't say how fast and effective the change will take place, but it WAS a change. Damn fine win. Wait for tegator80's "final" performance. It will be epic!!!
