    I was going to say something about coffee enemas here but it's not appropriate even if it is July.

    Correct. And it's not appropriate to say something about Pumpkin Spice Latte enemas until October/November.

    7th, I do believe in total yards and 7th, IIRC, in first downs.

    Our offense was significantly better than Gators acknowledged and certainly wasn't our primary problem. Nor was Billy's playcalling. We were seriously unfortunate on some situations. But that's football.

    Improve the defense is the imperative this season. The offense will be fine.

    You are so right. I just wonder if mistakes were made from the get go in the hiring of defensive staff and that includes S & C coach. I would love to see Armstrong with experience develop into a great DC. This is a put up year.

    I’ve watched a lot of high school ball over the last 15 years. The problem that college coaches need to acknowledge and deal with is that most players graduate high school having never been taught proper tackling.
