Official Game Thread, Week 4: Florida Gators 47 at Tennessee Volunteers 21, September 22, 2018

[DRU2012]

As long as the Gators get those turnovers, we have a chance .Up to this point, UT had not been turning the ball over.

And that is what it is--a CHANCE, at this point. Need to keep a lid on this Vols drive.
Unless they (foolishly) go for it...Our ball.
Well, they are doing their best to GIVE is this chance: Let us not be ungracious...and we give it back. THIS is how you FAIL to capitalize. Why is the less sure-handed Perrine in there? Scarlett better guy there.
Tackling better--but DAMN, Gators! Can't you stand good fortune????

 

[DRU2012]

And we let em get the first down.
Damnit!!! All we had to DO was play with confidence and poise, hold onto the BALL where they did NOT.
NOW they are in red zone--and we'll be lucky if we hold them to a 3.
Defense had to cone through AGAIN. Now. Tou hdoen for them puts them AND crowd right back in this--when we were on the VERGE of running 'em off the field.
Sorry: I just NEED to begin seeing glimpses of the "calm, poised, DRIVING" Gator team-to-come. SO tired of "up n down"...

 

[DRU2012]

Third n short. Doubt we stop them now.

 

[Escambia94]

Both of these teams are garbage . They might as well let these teams figure out the winner with rock-scissor-paper and save us the agony of watching crappy football.

 

[Escambia94]

Special teams delivers, but maybe that was because the kicker sucks at onside kicks .

 

[Escambia94]

Okay. Getting a push up the middle.

 

[DRU2012]

But we DO. Do they GO for it this time? Big moment, big decision. They HAD to take pts--but overall a "win" for us after a "bounce back" for them.
Well, a drive from our offense is needed now. Doesn't have to be on the big play--but they ONSIDE IT!!! PERRINE makes up for his fumble with a greatcplay to KEEP possession there. We start at midfield.
C'mon, Franks. Sharp passes, when asked.
For us, meanwhile: Run game is paramount.

 

[Escambia94]

Every other team in the SEC looks better than Florida and Tennessee.

 

[Escambia94]

Safety!

 

[Escambia94]

The Safety Dance

 

[DRU2012]

Nice punt n down it. Anotger turnover here woukd be nice--Doesn't look like Franks is particularly sharp, and our running game is uneven, so far.
It is ALL our D! Pin them back, stop them, and now SCORE! Safety!

 

[Escambia94]

That touchdown play took all day long to develop.

 

[DRU2012]

Pardon the typos--but our D is making things happen FAST AND FURIOUS.
At this point, I'd like to see our offense burn some time, give this D some rest...
Swane breaks free--TOUCHDOWN!!!

 

[Escambia94]

Tennessee fans are so upset that the men stopping kissing their sisters .

 

[DRU2012]

NOW fans, Vol players, even COACH (him most of all, looks like) frustrated, beside themselves in shock and "not supposed to BE this way!" disappointment.
Keep the pressure on. Turn the screws. Bury them before the HALF, if we can.
"You are going your way, we are going OURS!" is the message you wanna drive HOME here.

 

[Escambia94]

Pruitt is so upset he might divorce his sister.

 

[DRU2012]

Stars, PLAYmakers starting to show way, make the difference.
Missed tackle there.
C'mon, Gators: Gotta stay on top of them.
Don't let them get going at ALL.
NOT A CRACK OF LIGHT.

 

[DRU2012]

GOING FOR IT AGAIN.

 

[Escambia94]

Crap. Spoke too soon. Lucky Jefferson poked that touchdown play through the end zone.

 

[Escambia94]

Perine looks good running.
