Idk if this has been discussed or not yet but what the hell was going on during that play?? Was it supposed to be a throwback to Jennings?? Why did the Lineman start running down field? They think Mett was about to sprint for the end zone??

That whole play was confusing and a complete waste.

The throw was going to be behind the Los, but the 1 defender played it perfectly. Mett just thre it away and it happed to cross the line.

I think they just read it well.
Nice play design though

supposed to be a throwback to Jennings but the defender sniffed it out, Mett didn't really have another option. Not a great play, but does give future coaches something to spend a little extra time on.

Danielson said it would have gone for a touchdown. he thought it was a brilliant play. Danielson was all positive on everything miles did yesterday. how come most of the media are calling miles a genius?

are the media that smart or negamiles posters that fricking stupid?

It's basically the QB Screen. WKU ran it on UK last year in OT for the win. UF defense read it well. Mett threw it away down field and we got a penalty. Jennings throws to Mett, Mett turns and throws back to Jennings with a convoy of lineman in front of him.

Only reason I don't like the play call is OBJ/Landry had been dominating Purifoy/Roberson/Hargreaves up till that point, especially on that drive. Purifoy and Roberson were on the sidelines.. We didn't need to try and get cute there.

The play was unnecessary and never really had a chance. We were trying to be too cute by half.

We weren't saving that for bama. It's on tape now and they will be setup when they won't be allowed to sub on defense.

I hated the timing of the play. Thought it messed with momentum, continuity. As soon as Mett headed towards the right side, it was diagnosed. What's he gonna do, run a post/corner?

It reminded me of the Spurrier days when they used to run it at Florida. Wonder if that was the same concept as the 'jump pass' we copied and used against them back in 2011?

Not a bad call. The setup and alignment was correct. The defender did his job. Mett actually deserves a pat on the back for handling it well. If he had tried to squeeze it in, it is likely a pick. If he had thrown it away behind the line, it would have been grounding and a much bigger penalty. Throwing it forward and taking the 5 was the right decision.

The next time a team sees this setup, they will focus side to side. Perfect for a QB draw with a mobile guy or a middle screen. The rest of the Ds on our schedule will have to gameplan for it now.

Rhetorical question?

You would have thought that the play was supposed to go downfield ala TD with option to throw back to Jennings. I think OL's just messed up.

Good design

Floridas Defense is just very sound fundamentally

Thats a TD vs Ole Miss

I am just glad we have creative play calling. Cam is great.
