FINALLY.
Man, it has been a CHORE just getting this one even. Thing is, we OUGHTTA be up a COUPLA scores at this point. Let's see if this team can pick it up, let the mistakes slide off their backs and get the lead here.

Well, end of the first.
This looks to be a close fought battle after all.
We damn well better have an improved D if we wanna stay in it and have a chance to take it at the end.

Damn. Officials missed the call there--but WE should appealed quickly.
Now THEY are driving. This is a game we should be dominating, I think--but instead are barely holding up our end.
Maybe by later in the season we'll put away teams like this EARLY.

Gators are their worst enemy today, Utah is playing well.
Right. Utah "is playing well", but you can SEE that we are faster, more exposure at key positions...
But we keep finding so many ways, large and small, to screw OURSELVES.
EARLY 2nd quarter, down 10-7 at HOME to a team we have well-outGAINED here so far.
More Gator penalties.
Holding on the return. Ridiculous.
We are just gonna HAVE to hit someone ones to win this thing, I fear--and if we don't pull one off SOON here, we will find ourselves especially in a hole we can't get out of.

Play calling has fallen off here too.
Now we gotta surrender great field position to the Utes.
Ouch. They get it on our 40--all thanks to that stupid holding penalty earlier.
This the SECOND big mistake that flipped the field for them. Either our defense comes up with a big stand, right here/RIGHT NOW, or I fear that "big hole" I mentioned will be here before the half. The game is on the line NOW.

#22 Rashad Torrence keeps playing out of position, and not wrapping up his tackles.

#22 Rashad Torrence keeps blitzing from 15 yards deep, but it worked on that last play.

Now the bad tackling returns.
Oh oh, guys:
I got this feeling this one is just about to get away from us. Now, if they make the mistake of THROWING one--oh we miss ANOTHER tackle...
If they take this in (as it appears they are on their way to doing), I may have to go away for a while.
4th down and 2, inside our 10.
If we keep them from the TD--and we get screwed by the refs AGAIN! Stopped them on 4th down--but somehow a timeout no one saw or heard a whistle for saved their asses, gives them another chance on 4th down.
There is something going on here.
We're getting all the breaks AGAINST us IN OUR OWN PLACE!
I wish the Swamp crowd was more vocally disgusted than they've shown so far.

Do after l that we do hold 'em to a friendly, and are still downers than a TD.
Oh well, another look back.
Except maybe to learn an early lesson about this Gator team early in the season: Might be a good idea to see about more of a big play/"quick strike" approach on these Gator drives.
We just are too mistake prone at this point to expose ourselves to long meticulous drives against experienced defense.
And there one IS a long TD run by AR.
Beautiful.

AR really is a BEAST.
And he's found a sure thing in Pearsall, it seems, by the way.

I really HATE the way Florida's defenders keep letting these runners escape containment.

OK. Let's get outta this half with the bare lead, at least, right?
Maybe take one shot long, then run the clock?
No, just gonna run it out, get to the locker room.

Gators look okay. The wet field is making both coaches play conservative. Napier said he blew some play calls. Shane Matthews seems happy with the calls.
