As I watch ESPN and see all the other QB's out there, it really makes me realize how much trouble we are in...I'm not negative, I just see reality...If we can't move the ball against these stronger teams, Fla., Bama, Auburn, Ark., we will lose...Why? Defense will wear down after being on the field that long, it's that simple...this is not being negative, it is a fact...

It's really hard to pick up a 3rd and 8 when you run a 6 yard route

Yup. D will be on the field 45 mins if this doesn't improve.

Which is the reason you become a ground pounding team and turn the tables on those four. Only 'Bama comes close to the style of D the Tigers are currently playing.(UF is susceptible to the run). The Tigers have a top 30 running game without even really committing to it. Line up and run Ridley,Blue,Ford, Shep and Murphy and make the other team prove it can stop you, thowing just enough to keep them honest. My guess is a top 30 running team can become a top 20 running team if that commitment is made. Given the short field the Tiger's often get from the D and S/T this would seem to be a viable option.(no pun intended)

But we CAN move the ball on those teams. And we HAVE moved the ball on those teams in the past with JJ at the helm. Play selection, and execution are the major factors contributing to our short-comings so far this season.

Dude, we had 110 yards in excess penalties against WVU alone. That shite will directly affect your ability to move the ball.
