From Florida Sports Info:
Yes. He really IS special--the best we've had here in a long while, and we have HAD some good ones in the meantime.
We can WIN some shootouts with this kid...
But the thing is, can Billy learn to USE that?
I doubt it: Coach turns out to be the EPITOME of "SCARED MONEY", so we won't likely MAKE a whole lot of money that way.
So: Gotta somehow hang onto DJ, but at some point bring in the guy who really IS more of a "gunslinger".
I am beginning to envision some scenarios that might accomplish that and MORE, this year or NEXT, depending upon circumstances--but am gonna let all that go for now.
I am watching the game-replay right now--my 2nd one since the actual game. They are not just improving game-by-game now but PLAY-BY-PLAY, it seems.
Now, it IS against UK. We ARE more talented than they are. But due to injury this is with a lot of our freshmen, too. What might an aggressive and talented GAME-CALLER DO with these kids--especially with time and a full preseason of proper conditioning and experience?
Buy we can proceed fully to THAT discussion later THIS season, after we run some portion of this pending "SEC GAUNTLET" ahead.
And make no mistake: This was NOT any kind of "Perfect Game" by our team. We made our share of mistakes, same old bad play calling and missed tackles--but THIS time we found ways to overcome them, RISE ABOVE...We did a lot of good things, and in the end, we pulled AWAY.
And THAT was great to see. EXTREMELY SATISFYING. So we back off a little for now:
Coach (and the team that still is buying IN to his plan) get THAT much "benefit the doubt" for now, anyway.
