He finally hired an offensive coordinator, imagine that. Billy thought he could call plays against SEC defenses; looks like he wised up after getting shitecanned and got one so he can get back to his roots and dominate the mighty Sunbelt. I know for a fact his ego is bruised about it though, he defended his playcalling to his last breath at UF.

The defense is not good this year outside of run stopping. While occasionally able to make big plays, for most of the game the defensive line generates little pressure, giving the opposing QB enough time to pass on rhythm.

This is not good when combined with the fact that our DBs range from average to bad. Some have been picked on more than others but overall they are struggling as a unit. No pressure and giving the QB all day to throw is the last thing this group needs.

LBs are solid, have had some hiccups against the pass.

Honestly despite all of that, the biggest concern I have with the defense is the scheme under Brad White. It's like he plays prevent defense 24/7 everywhere on the field except for the red zone. DBs lined up 15 yards off the receiver (and still somehow getting burnt sometimes). Maybe Kentucky fans can chime in there. But he takes Bend but don't break (sometimes do break) to a level I feel like I've never seen.

I believe the Gators squad THIS YEAR is and will continue to be a really good team. We will see what happens post Buster. One good season won't convince me we are back. The Gators will be "back" when they are consistently good and competing for the playoffs and the SEC title year in and year out.

We got judges now?

We may really be back.

Baugh is the best RB in the country. Clark is very solid as RB2 and will likely be our starter next year.

Philo is good. He's not a top tier elite college QB like Chambliss or Mensah from what he's shown so far but he's 10x better than Lagway. Takes care of the ball and is accurate. His two interceptions this year were bobbled passes from the WR/RB, not his fault. He can run pretty well for more of a pocket passer but that obviously isn't his main strength.

Oline seems decent this year, better than I expected, but it isn't elite. They can be beat, especially the tackles against a good EDGE. Biggest issue from that group is penalties and the Center occasionally snapping it 10 ft too high.

WRs loaded with talent. I believe Brown and Wilson will both be top 1-2 round draft picks. Singleton, our big "free agent" acquisition hasn't played yet due to injury and is questionable for this game. When he gets healthy and all three of those guys are on the field it would be hard to rank many Wideout trios over those 3 IMO. Stockton is Philo's safety blanket from GT and has been good as WR3 for us while Singleton has been out.

TEs haven't had a lot of targets in the passing game, seems like they aren't a major part of our pass attack, but they are on the field a lot to block which they do well.

Defense struggled against Auburn. The linebackers which were good last year seem to be in a slump this year, especially in coverage. The Dline has gotten a lot of sacks but this is IMO a misleading stat; take away those random big plays and watch them and you'll see little push and the QB having all day to throw. Ton of talent there with Woods and the new British guy that I won't even attempt to spell his name. If they get going I think the DL can improve as year goes on. Run defense is solid when the guys are locked in.

The DBs are the weakest link. They have had a few blown coverages already this year. There's talent there but whether they just stink, Brad White's scheme is awful, the DL is giving the QB all day to throw, or a mix of all three, it's obvious you beat this defense by throwing on them.

Special teams are strong. Solid kicker, great punter (which we have hardly had to use this year so far), and Brown is a weapon at PR.

I do not expect us to win this game unless Ole Miss really does have a letdown game and plays really flat, while we at the same time are sharp and clean up the penalties. Could it happen? It's in the Swamp, anything can happen. If Ole Miss plays to their capabilities I think it will be tough for us to compete with Chambliss.

Folks hated Tebow because they assumed his very outward religiosity was performative like it is for a lot of athletes (and politicians for that matter) and that he didn't actually walk the walk behind closed doors. And honestly given the abundance of performative Christianity we see everywhere in the sporting world, it was a fair enough assumption.

However at this point I think it's plainly obvious to everyone in hindsight that... yeah, that's actually just who he is.

Edit: As someone else stated above, he also was glazed by the media heavily, which is always going to drive up hate.

High Point made it a hell of a game. Shout out to those guys.

Georgia is going to continue having a love hate relationship with Mike White until they realize that better coaches do exist out there and they could probably get them.

White had the keys to the castle at UF with Billy's great players and couldn't get it done. He made one little run with his own guys but also screwed the pooch that time. He is what he is.

Bring him back to the SEC, just another Gropin' Golden victim.
