at least our passing offense; mett missed more open receivers than any game he's played and there were a coupla key drops. boone was wide open on that one play and mett threw it about 5 ft over his head and then our TE was open for a TD on a play where florida had busted coverage. now that's it's over and we won, i'm glad he got his "bad game" out of the way.

our running game looked good though and indeed was good enough to beat them but we sure let them hang around.

where did our D come from?

I don't know about it being "off", we just faced an incredible D and didn't really have to open it up. WE probably went from the shotgun less than 5 times.

Landry dropped 2 passes and HArgreaves pretty much owned him today except for the incredible play Landry made on the near-pick. (to be fair, landry was injured)

No need to open it up when the other offense is LSU 09 offense and your RB is having his way with them.


Mett was a little off, but he's missed passes in other games too, he just made up for them.

Don't be so quick to forget how good Muschamp is at making halftime adjustments on D. He is one of the best.

Chavis blitzed a lot more and seemed to play more zone than we usually do. He also chose his faster players to blitz (eugene) so he could reach the QB in time. The zone coverage allowed our D to keep eyes on the QB.

I am not ready to say our D turned a corner, but they certianly looked better. Some of that is better play and tackling, but some of it is UF's style of offense that allows us to blitz and not have to be so spread out.

No they didn't. They chose to run and not pass. It was a running game workout.

So you don't believe the Fla defense had anything to do with it?

It was nice to see the defense help carry the offense to a win today. This is a positive people

That defense is top 5 in the country. LSU still averaged more than 6 yards per play, averaged 8.9 yards per pass attempt, and rushed for 175 yards. The great thing about it is that this offensive line is getting better.

I really think the only way you come close to stopping this offense is to blitz often and see if your corners can hold up. The amazing this is that Florida didn't even try that approach and they are probably the only team of anyone on the schedule that can do it. I'll be shocked if this team scores fewer than 30 points in any game the remainder of the season.

They played the best defense in the country and scored enough to win.

I thought the game plan sucked, Miles went all 2012 and Mett looked just like he did last year. You have to throw to get into a rhtymn and they just didn't give him or the recievers a chance to get in synch.

Mettenberger was protected very well today and he rushed a few throws he didn't need to rush. He's looked better.
