Official Game Thread Week 5: Florida Gators vs Eastern Washington Eagles, 10/2/2022

[DRU2012]

My goodness, we need a BUTTload of talent brought in on the defensive side!
We've upgraded on the coaching side of things, but it seems the quality is still under the minimum threshold. I mean, one of our BETTER players (Trey Dean) got burned a number of times against Tennessee--and for whatever reasons, he and a couple of other of our supposedly "better" Defensive players are sitting this week (it's said to be due to "nagging injuries" in several instances--but it is also somewhat vague too).
We are STARTING to assert ourselves on the defensive side now though.

Eastern Washington QB is from Florida. Florida QB is from eastern Washington.

 

[DRU2012]

Overthrew the open receiver, damnit.
But makes up for it on next play.
Oh oh--AR is tripped up by his akready-injured ankle. He is hurt.
Kitna in.
Hits a long pass.

Eastern Washington QB is from Florida. Florida QB is from eastern Washington.

Weird.

 

[DRU2012]

Hope AR not badly injured...but those ankles can drag on, especially with REinjury.

 

[Escambia94]

Richardson is okay. Whew!

 

[Escambia94]

Apparently the Gator defense is only available via pay-per-view and we did not pay Disney for that option.

 

[DRU2012]

Like to see us take the next step, shut them DOWN now and get us the ball back to drive the field one more time, go to the half at 28-3? Too greedy?

 

[DRU2012]

This has thus far been a nice offensive display by this Gator team...but clearly we have a GREAT deal of work to improve the D.

 

[DRU2012]

Nice play! THE FAKE AND REVERSE...
TOUCHDOWN!

 

[Escambia94]

Scooby, Torrance, Mitchell, and McClellan get the turnover.

 

[DRU2012]

All a bit faster than I had envisioned--but we'll take it. D is getting a WORKOUT here today.

 

[Escambia94]

Gainesville to Gainesville connection for 23 yards.

 

[Escambia94]

Of course. Great run by ETN nullified by holding on Zanders.

 

[Escambia94]

Henderson on the crosser, first TD of the season.

 

[DRU2012]

Am I too far ahead of the RUF online broadcast?
If so, tell me: I'll pause before blurting out big sudden scoring plays.

 

[DRU2012]

Or is it ME that is behind???

 

[DRU2012]

I have us driving for ANOTHER score...
Yeah--it's ME that is behind--here's that Etienne run and penalty.
OK...never mind. Just do your thing...
I am enjoying this. Nice throw for the 5th TD.

 

[Escambia94]

I hope to see 500 yards of offense from AR before he turns over the keys to Kitna.

 

[Escambia94]

INT by AR. Threw into triple coverage instead of throwing to Pearsall.
