1. We know our guys have heart and don't get rattled too easily
2. Our offense might lead the nation in 3 and outs
3. Halftime adjustments were made on our end and not on theirs. Feels nice feeling what our opponents did during Blandito/Golden eras
4. Hartley's role needs to be revisted. Elite recruiter, **** poor special teams coach
5. Jess Simpson has the DL ballin
6. Too little use of short passing game allowing our athletes to be athletes with YAC. Everything is a 50/50 ball with the "our athletes are better than yours"
7. Hard Rock Stadium has become a place teams don't want to visit
8. Encouraging to see the freshman OL class starting to see more time over Golden holdovers
9. Perry needed that win and like that he plays with more emotion than Rosier
10. We will have turned the corner if we go up to Charlottesville and dominate

Agree with your 10 points. I will add that the Scaife experiment MUST be permanent and now time to let some of the other FR Lineman to get some more burn time. Not sure who is better at punter at this time, ST specially punts/punt returns need emergency surgery!. Overall a great place to be at 5-1 we can recommend small items, but we are 5-1 and beat FSU a huge rival. Teams have off games all the time, we come back and we WON!
 
Said it in another thread, but we should think about hiring John Lovett back as ST coordinator.

Before coming here as DC, he was ST coach for North Carolina and produced a top 15 ST squad. When he was here; we had good ST as well.

Hes currently a scout for the Eagles I think.
 
Agreed with everything on your list. I'll add one point though -- We don't come out of the gate with enough intensity. We're getting off to too many slow starts. The passion the guys played with in the second half was night and day different from that of the first half, and I'm seeing that as a pattern.

We're not talented enough to just turn it on whenever we want to. We've got to be clicking on all cylinders from jump and play very aggressive football for a full 60 minutes.

The last complete game of full intensity I can recall was the ND game last year, and the results speak for themselves.

Thats who we will be on offense. Richt will 75 percent of the time come out running the ball conservatively to begin the game. But the problem is the running game is too simplistic so against talented teams it doesn't stand a chance.

We looked rattled on Saturday night going through the motions with very little fire.
Our offense only added to our dominance of 3 and outs
Adjustments might of been made but this is bigger than halftime adjustments
ST was better but still a weak spot
DL continues to look good
The biggest issue IMO is the structure of the offense. How many times we threw the ball to a receiver that was completely covered is beyond me. Balls being thrown out of bounds is that 50/50 approach that just isn't working instead of letting a Jeff Thomas get the ball and out run the 3 star UVA defenders
After this loss Hard Rock will go back to Golden style attendance and deservingly so
Mahoney is the biggest liability on the OL and was completely exposed (see Golden holdover)
Perry needed to be roughed up to grow and learn from it the same way he needed that win to learn and grow from it
Clearly a no
