A stat I liked from yesterday

[AllAboutTheU]

Glass half full view was he was accurate, didn’t throw the ball into coverage, didn’t force anything, and made some excellent throws in the middle of the field on money downs.

Glass half empty view was his pocket presence/awareness was very poor and he did not press the ball down the field much, although that was probably by design. But it does concern me somewhat that he couldn’t/didn’t get rid of the ball the 3-4 times he absolutely could have. You simply cannot run out of bounds behind the LOS. It scares me he didn’t have the simple awareness to not easily get out of a couple of very negative plays.

Don't know if it his pocket presence was poor. He extended plays and stepped up in the pocket and made big throws. The issue is that he just held on to the ball too long on occasions where he didn't have a chance.

D, I think the INT was big fat 0 also. Nice sat.

Got lucky with 2 fumbles he had that we recovered

Jarrens completion percentage would have been higher had Enos just stuck to what worked on the first drive..

Defense adjusted. You can’t run that little dink and dunk stuff all game. The DBs got up closer to the LOS to take that stuff away. We didn’t have many answers after that.

Seems like maybe Enos would anticipate that and have something ready to counter with.

Funny thing is the 2 Brevin “drops” and the JT “drop” might have been 3 of his best throws of the night.

I agree. The first down throw to Brevin and the touchdown throw to Thomas were both absolutely dimes, low and away where only his guy can get it, all while under duress. What's even crazier, is though both of those throws would have been very tough catches, we've seen Brevin and Thomas make tougher catches in the past.

If that's the type of accuracy that we can expect from Jarren on a weekly basis, we have something special on our hands.

Apparently he didn’t. Maybe we didn’t have time to let those longer routes develop, as Florida was in the backfield as soon as Jarren planted his back foot.

They did adjust, but let us be real..the UF tackling was abysmal, I would not have been scared of them playing closer to the LoS.

Their tackling was horrible. But that has nothing to do with trying to throw short passes with defenders sitting on those short routes. Henderson is a gaping pvssy, but he’s made his name jumping those little routes and going the other way for 6.

 

[KrazyCane]

It was his FIRST game.

No it wasn’t but it was his first game starting against a legit Power 5 team.

His completion percentage is nice but it’s not that impressive when majority were short yardage passes.

Take away Brevin Jordan’s run after catch and the total amount of yards actually thrown for is in the 100 range.

 

[Kjdcanefan]

It seemed to work for UF.. Look i'm not disagreeing with the things you are saying, but the goal that whole game for Enos should have been to get the ball out of Jarrens hands asap. Especially after the sacks kept coming in. Instead, deep dropbacks, too much play action, and longer developing plays put Jarren under enough pressure to where he would either get sacked, or throw the ball away. To the original point, just because UF DBs play close doesn't mean we can't throw rb flat and TE flat passes. Once they switch to zone to counter it, go to the short corner and routes, and the seam routes.

This might be unfair to Jordan because of the level difficulty was high, but he still should've caught the ball in my opinion. If the ball hits your hands, catch it. Same goes for Jeff who covered by Henderson on his drop. Big time players make big time plays in big time games. Ours didn't Saturday night.

If you rewatch it the safety knocked it out. Given the position he was in he didn’t have any leverage to prevent someone from knocking it out. Not his fault.

Jordan made plenty of big time plays.

 

[HSFC]

New offense.

We will have a few additions - changing cadence, more capacity for chipping, and trying to get more shifts and motion pre-snap.

All these additions, and others will be added as we go on. It's a progression more than a three ring binder like Golden had.

Gators would give their left nut for Jarren.

Not so sure about he giving away of that left nut, Emory Jones already there, and for MSU Qb Keyonnata Thompson in the portal

I think we got from Jarren what we all could agree was what we expected for the most part. RFR in his first start in a new system against a hated rival in an away game. He had some WOW moments and he had some RFR moments. The RFR moments will improve with time and experience. The WOW moments are what's encouraging.

Someone mentioned in another thread that the coaches now know what they have with live game tape instead of just Greentree tape. I'd like to give credit to whoever made this observation because I think it's great perspective. The coaches can now look at live game tape, see what needs to be fixed, and go about getting it done.

generally, they played a lot tighter man to man after the first series and took away some of the stuff we did in the first series. Enos' adjustment to Grantham's adjustments were not as good, in my opinion

 

[Waffle Honcho]

While I like the % numbers, if the QB would have avoided half the sacks by throwing the ball away, the number would have been in the 50's and lost yardage would have been less.

Exactly. I could care less about his completion percentage. His arm looked great and on point and that's what excites me. What doesn't excite me was how he held onto the ball too long and would take 2-3 yard losses when he could've thrown the ball away. It really kills your chances to sustain a drive against a great defense when you'd have these sacks/penalties and having to go through multiple 3rd and longs. This was another frustrating part of the Kaaya years. Everyone lauds his completion percentage and stats but we need to sustain drives, put points on the board and keep the defense off the field.
