Eh. they played much better today. lot of youth and inexpierence due to coming back from injury.

I think this defense will finish in the top 30. just got to keep improving the offense.

They played tough today. UF had been running all over teams the last few weeks. The D has done enough to win all but one game. Not great play but with any offense we are 5-1 after today

Out of seven newbies that replaced the seven players we lost to the NFL, those are the only two playing close to the players they replaced. All the rest of them haven't played nearly as well as the players they replaced. However, it's all coach O's fault. If he were a better coach, his predecessor would have left him better players. Therefore, all our problems are due to the fact that coach O isn't a good head coach.

yep. the defense doesnt trust the guy next to them to do their job.

it was glaringly obvious during the outside run play early in the game where arden key started the play in a great position to contain the play to the inside where 2 guys were in position to make the tackle, but then key inexplicably also ran inside because he didnt trust the guys inside to make the tackle when he saw the handoff, then the rb ran right where key was originally standing and the play was designed for him to be for 11 yards. all because he was worried about the guys in the middle not making the tackle. Aranda is proven to know wtf he is doing, the players need to do their job not try to improvise what they think they should be doing instead

Yes, I think it's our biggest issue.

I think it will continue to get better. I do think Aranda is the guy to take it there.

I expected it to get better faster. That's where my disappointment is. Even allowing for some major depth issues, especially on the DL (which is the key to the whole thing).

I wanted it to get much better much faster.

Yeah, I'm super worried that they gave up 16 to an SEC team that they gave up 16 to last year and lost.

No. They are inconsistent but there is talent to work with and I believe Aranda will whip them into form.

I'm worried about offense.

Our OL sucks arse.

Our QB is definition of game manager.

Guice isn't himself.

Our WRs are the worst I have seen at lsu since Hallman era.

We have no depth.

I still don't believe in Canada. Not against him, just not sold on him.

There was some horrendous tracking. We still have problems with the short passes. I didn't see that change last night. Florida just doesn't have the tools to take advantage. Any team that does will move the ball on us easily right now.

Im still pissed off that Key is getting playing time. But since they are giving him time, I also see that they are using him more as a decoy. He's getting double teamed every play and thats okay if he's just going to stand there. What's going to suck is when they start running his way and he just stands there...
