Did we lose the game in the first half or second?

First half. Momentum on our side, even with shitty field position. Possession after possession we run the ball on 2nd and 3rd long.

Then when we have a chance to punch it in and take a 10 point lead going into half, we decide to get cute with a jump pass?



Second half. Complete momentum shift. Our players are going down like flies. Our D is exhausted for being on the field for 40 minutes. After the 3rd it was like our players had given up knowing since we had lost the lead there was no way we could come back and win

Not getting in the end zone from the 6 yard line was a killer.

Lost the game when we couldn't punch the ball in from the 6, and when Odell fumbled the long pass. I wasn't THAT upset with the rest of the first half offense. We did have shitty field position for the most part.

That's 7 points probably right there if those two situations are handled better, and both times would have been a huge boost for the Defense.

As tired as they were, if the O goes back and at least gives them a 9-7 lead to work with after the Beckham play, they may have been able to hold on.

First, and everyone knew it. Getting that 10 point lead would have made them pass, and play right into our hands. Instead, they just wore out our D, and ran the clock.

We lost the game on the OBJ fumble. It had shifted momentum back to us for about 10 seconds. Would have given the D more time to rest and adjust. Would have probably gotten points out of the drive.

Firts half. If we run it 4 times in a row there we get into the end zone. The rollout pass call on 2nd down was horrible.

Combination of rare streak of inuries,
but also horrible coaching on offense since midway through last season.

Les can't pound the rock because our OLINE is swiss cheese, so he looks like a deer in headlights.

The game was lost in the Spring and fall camp when this mickey mouse offense was designed and installed.

It's criminal what Miles has done to this offense.

We knew before the game about UF's halftime adjustments. U have to score on them in the 1st half. We didn't, we lost.
