Please explain how going for two helps you?

I believe the rationale was that if Utah was to score and make it 27-10 (if they don’t go for 2) it’s right back to a 3 possession game, at least it being 27-11 it’s still “two possessions”

Not that it mattered because holy **** was that abysmal. I’m here in Gainesville and watched it with a few Gators and…what a sight to behold

10 carries total between Etienne and Johnson. Riding Mertz is not their path to victory. Shorten the game down running the ball then play action to Pearsall should be their only game plan

And teams will double/triple Pearsall and those dink passes and make him throw the ball downfield where ints will rain down like **** tears on the Day after another loss…

I wish Billy had hired an OC. Yes we shot ourselves in the foot and right side of the OL was bad (Barber was a unit at LT imo) but offensively it was more of the same lethargic pace.

Defensively they played solid but i wont judge since Utah was w/o Rising and ole boy at TE

Their oline suck tho. 10 for 31 yards on the ground, you ain’t beating Utah with that average

That's true... But for me, 10 carries is not enough to make that assessment. You have to keep pounding the rock, especially when the RB room is legit your most talented room. Definitely wouldn't have tried to put the game in Mertz hands.

But hey, Billy is gonna Billy and I love him for that 😉

let’s keep it real, Mertz was the least of issues tonight. I thought he played solid outside of a few ehh passes/decisions. George was really bad at RT, Slaughter was bad at C, and abandoning the run from the jump was just ridiculous. The shovel pass on 4th down to an unathletic TE in Zanders almost made me curse CBN out lol

So basically billy didn’t believe his D could stop them. How many gators did you keep from jumping off a ledge 😳

Mertz threw 44 passes and I’ll bet maybe 70% of those were WR screens or short 4-5 yd passes.His accuracy downfield was well let’s sY lacking.The TD pass took an incredible catch and should have been knocked down or int.
At some point teams are going to move everyone to the LOS and make him throw the ball downfield where his inaccuracy is going to come into play.

No this loss was as much on Bayou Billy as anyone but if you guys have to rely on Mertz to throw 40-45 times a game and can’t run the ball what is shaping up to be a rough season is going to get REALLY rough…I wish you guys good luck….no I don’t.
 
I’ve had enough joy for one night…one things for sure I won’t have to shoot many rockets for a while cause there will be plenty of tears to help with that.

Good night guys this old farts going to bed.I’ll look forward to reading all the tears with my morning coffee.
