Aggravates me that people can't see the impact the offense, or lack there of, had on offense. Had a friend text me after the game saying man the defense looked bad in 2nd half. I was like....uhhh, look at the # of plays they were on the field.

Why cant some people see this?

Exactly. That loss was ALL on our anemic offense. The defense played their asses off and we still had a good chance to come out with the W.

Perfect storm for a warm-weather team to get tired. It had been cool earlier in the week so the team was getting used to cooler weather. Game Day, it felt like fricking August camp after everybody had gotten used to the cooler weather.

Then, the offense couldn't stay on the fricking field.

Any defense would tire playing as much as they did. I really thought if the cool weather we have now had hit Gainesville on Saturday, LSU would not have been gashed the way it was gashed.

I can see that being the defense problem and it does excuse them if blame had been put on them in the first place. Now what happen to the offense? They had plenty of rest.

The defense was on the field for seventy plays. Kenyan runners would be winded by that point. They still only gave up 14 points, and about three yards per play.

I was at the game and during the second quarter I started to worry about the players. Florida was in the shade but we were in the sun... And it was the second most humid game I can remember... After the Tennessee game at home in 2005.

I wasn't surprised in the fatigue factor in the second half... especially since we couldn't get a first down for three quarters. The defense was on the field the whole time.

“We worked super hard during the week to come out and play two dominant halves,” defensive end Sam Montgomery said. “Sadly, our stamina couldn’t hold up.”

Can't believe there's been no comment on this statement yet. I know Miles has been accused of working them so hard that they "leave it all on the practie field". Haven't seen that one in awhile though. (of course maybe it's because I haven't caught the Buddy Songy show in while.

wait,



Our offense was the most inept I remember seeing since...well, the UF game in 2009, where we would have lost 6-3 except for the awesome jersey grab of our DB by their white boy WR (Cooper?). Valiant effort by the defense, an offense that looked like a junior high JV team. Different QB, different OC, so what's the common denominator? Chavis should tell Miles he's going elsewhere unless he hires a Monken type hire, and GTFO of the offense.

The humidity here sucks—but really, how much worse is it than BR? Can't imagine there's that much of a difference. This isn't to slag Minter though—he played a king hell of a game, a beast among children, and we're all in awe of his performance last Saturday. If the rest of the team and coaches had played at his level, we'd have won by 5 TD's.

Miles has convinced the defense it was their fault that the team lost

He'd rather blame the defense than his shitty inept offense

Congrats.. I promise you it was more humid/hotter in Gainesville than it had been in BR at least the last couple of weeks.

The humidity in Florida last week was terrible. It was the worst that I've seen in a long time.

I attended the game and it was terrible in the stadium. Florida's players were more conditioned for it than ours were. It seemed very obvious to me. Also, the visitor's bench was in the sun until the 4th quarter.

I'm convinced now that our offense is designed to wear down our defense.

It worked brilliantly Saturday.

tonite on tigerrag radio, the statman said we threw 60% of our plays. almost 50% in first half.



60/40 (33 pass calls to 22 run calls...some of those passes turned into sacks and are statistically recorded as run plays, and some are negated by penalties.

Even before the skewed fourth quarter, it was 55/45 in favor of the pass.

Lot of great posta in this thread. Agree, that Florida looked like the better conditioned team, and had a big edge with the home crowd, and the excitement of knocking off a top team. Our offense was the key to controling the game, and making them work harder in that environment. Instead, their offense sustained more drives, and wore the Defense out. We needed more 3rd down conversions, that we seemed to just seemed to fall apart on, not to mention penalties that just killed us. It happens, but the one glaring thing about conditioning is I somehow feel that we were very fit for last year(I guess having to play Oregon), but it doesn't seem that we are a 4th quarter team, like we were last year...Just me, our do anyone else see that there might be a slight step back, there??
