More missed tackles after contain breaks down. Ball is down from our defense. This is turning into a complete disaster, with 1st stringers dropping like flies. If this season goes the way I'm starting to think it is heading in a hurry, we will be starting all over with a whole new coaching staff next year. I can see that this team is giving up--and that's COACHING--yeah, it's going against us, but we are the GATORS! Where is our pride, our fight? By the time they pull it together this one's gonna be out-of-reach, you can see it coming. I may have to pack it in after this score, friends...call my girlfriend to PLEASE come get me, hell, I'll ride around with her while she SHOPS, fer Christ's sake..we can't stop them, and now I've got happy, drunken Aggies howling at me from over the fence
(instead of 3rd and goal, another STUPID roughing penalty late after the play, and 1st and goal--God, what a loser's mentality this team has!). One thing that is depressing is that their redshirt freshman is looking a LOT better than our much-heralded sophomore "formerly best in the nation" guy...do we see Brisset in 2nd half? Don't know if that is any answer here, or even good idea--sadly, it is our defense that has really lost it here today...and with all these injuries they aren't going to be "back" 'til mid-season at the earliest. Any chance at ALL of us coming back here, making it close, at LEAST? Only way now is a shoot out, which is just the worst-case scenario...Got to ride the pass, now, even with Gilly back in there, banged up.
I just can't get over the collapse of our defense. Despite the irritating commentary by these two, I have to go along with their questioning our toughness. We ARE still just a collection of "talented individuals"--you can see that they can do good things, but we are NOT "playing together" on either side of the ball, really. Neither am I impressed with the play-calling on offense: they're just trying to pull big plays out at this point. there appears no larger plan since that first drive. Now our only hope here is a big kick from Sturgess to get us within a TD--when our only HOPE is to hit on some long TDs and get the lead back, shut this crowd up and put SOME element of doubt in the minds of the opposing team--who until now have basically had their own way. 51-yard FG GOOD! Well, we are sort of still "in it" with that kick--but with a banged up and shaken defense and a less-than-impressive thus far offense, I doubt we'll get much closer than that today.
Can this Gator defense get a stop here, the first one today?!!
