Totally agree. I would also blitz more so they don't have to stay in coverage as long.

We need to risk giving up big plays. We are giving up big plays when we are playing conservative, there is no reason not to risk it. Bend and break is a losing combination.

I wouldn't be surprised at all. Hopefully Sumrall gets them to learn from last week, but I think were exposed schematically and these are Billy's players who had a tendency to quit as soon as they faced even the smallest bit of adversity.

I honestly think we just have dumb players. We looked really bad last year (or maybe the year before) until some of the veterans went to Napier and said it was too complex and we simplified everything.

I think White and Sumrall need to get over the idea of out thinking the other side by disguising pressures and coverages, make things really easy to understand, and let our athletes be athletes. White's good defenses were when he had a bunch of veterans. We obviously aren't there.

Yup, the media was way more optimistic then the fan base was. Obviously there are some idiots in every fanbase, but the majority of us were still in wait and see mode.

Honestly, the biggest issue with Challenger events is the number of exemptions they are giving out. It would be a cool thing if you could see bigger name guys like Max Homa and Joel Dahmen going against up and coming guys. It wouldn't be much different than watching a Valspar/John Deere type of field. They gave so many exemptions for things like career money that it's now going to be a KFT event.

Love that a Plant High kid is having success for the Gators!

People who aren't smart get taken advantage of by people who surround them all the time.

He looks better than Lagway did in the Swamp in 2024.

The defense makes some good plays, then some really dumb plays, especially by the DB's. The Auburn game was not really representative of what we are capable of. We gave up -3 yards in the first quarter. Most of the scoring at the end is when we moved into a very conservative scheme to try to keep them from scoring quickly as we had a 17 point lead in the 4th quarter.

If anything makes me feel better its that we have some good players at DE/OLB, which I feel like will be important to slow down Chambliss.

Our starting CB's are both very highly rated and very talented. One is a sophomore and making his first starts, so his mistakes are more understandable. The other one is great in man coverage but seems like he isn't very bright and is also incapable of playing zone.

There is a $5 billion tax loss that BC Partners wants to "harvest" that is pretty valuable in the financial world. Companies can use this type of loss to offset gains elsewhere. It seems like PIF wants to utilize that.

I was at both games, and he isn't wrong.

Jordan Hare was a mess. With the work they were doing in the end zone, it took forever to get in the stadium and even longer to get to the seats. The concourses were jammed and it took forever to go to the bathroom or through a concession line.

UF had a quick interception to start the game, and every time AU had any momentum, the Gator's immediately pushed back. By the time Auburn made it closer in the 4th quarter, the game was well in hand and most fans had already left.

I honestly don't blame it on their fans, it seemed to be a function of stadium operations and their players/coaches not being able sustain momentum on the field. I was at Jordan Hare when we lost back in 2011, and it was a totally different animal with the crowd.
