Well if someone had told me we would be 6-1 right now I would have laughed. This loss sucks but our d played bad and with no grier, I think we did really good. Hopefully lsu runs the table and we get them in Atlanta.

Game Day--Week 7: Into the Night
- Thread starter DRU2012
- Start date
The Gators are thin at linebacker with Anzalone's injury. The depth chart looks like this:
- SLB - Anzalone (injured), Powell, Harrell
- MLB - Morris (slowed down by injuries), Anzalone (injured)
- WLB - Davis, McMillian
The defense did suck. The silly Twitter wars on who was DBU really riled up the LSU DBs, and the Tigers showed the Gators who really was DBU. Blame Muschamp--he recruited a ton of DBs, but no LBs or DLs. The DBs are simply too small to stop a power running game.
On the flip side, I can think of a few plays that showed this was absolutely a winnable game:
- Fournette's fumble -- The refs clearly blew this call. He fumbled the ball inbounds, and the refs called it the other way. This would have deflated the Tigers early.
- Fournette's false start out of the Wild Tiger -- The refs clearly blew this call. The QB cannot tapdance his feet waiting for the snap, and neither can the RB lined up as QB. This would have nullified the only way LSU could have scored against the Gators in this part of the game.
From what I gather, ALL of us here were at least thinking bout the possible fake...and I know I wasn't the only one yelling at the screen, "Look out for the FAKE!!!" If our coach missed it, as appears, it's 'cause he just got here (SEC) from out west, basically--hadn't seen Les do this before, done it to US! Well, now he knows; WON'T happen twice. In fact, we get another crack at 'em in Atlanta (oh great God of the Gridiron, give us that chance), some version of "payback in kind" would be in order. 'Course, come the day, Mac'll say getting there and winning it should, will be enough. But if the opportunity should present itself...
(Y'all KNOW I'm only HALF kidding. Probably not even THAT much...)
EXACTLY what I've been thinking and talking about, here and elsewhere.
Yep. Couldn't, never DO practice against/prepare for some new, illegal style and formations using it. And Fournette's getting every benefit AND benefit-of-the-doubt--and he doesn't NEED it: He's already really good without all that!
Meanwhile, not only are you right in all you note, but there were a bunch of other things that were stacked and/or went against us Saturday, some (but far from all) of our own making, and yet after everything, we were there at the end...Even after one of the game's Gator stars (Callaway) failed to hold onto a pass for long TD in the endzone near the end, ended what seemed our last gasp drive to tie it, at least get to overtime, we STILL 3-and-outted them one more time, got the ball from inside our 10yd line out near midfield where Treon, our "Mad Bomber" QB, was launching 'em to their endzone AGAIN as time ran out.
If I were them, I wouldn't wanna see us again this year--say, in the SEC Championship Game.

I agree with Escambia on a lot of points but I want to submit the following:
To me, I think this Loss was a teach moment for all coaching staff and players involved. Coach Mac learned to watch everything (even Fake FG's), Treon learned that it is okay to let it fly a little bit; the Defense learned that RB's like the Chubb's, Dalvin Cook's and Fournette's of the world, require a team effort to stop. Our WR's learned, that they have to show up every saturday.
I think the Gators, are gonna use this loss, as a win, and come back swinging against UGA and the rest of our schedule.

I agree entirely. This is the first "good loss" I have seen from the Mighty Gators in a very long time. The defensive coordinator is going to have to adjust the defense to stop the run with only 2 quasi-healthy linebackers. The QB has a lot of film to study, the the offensive coordinator needs to go through the playbook and find some plays that suit Harris.
