Wasn’t pretty

They were missing 3/4 of their defensiveline. Now we are acting like they were the 85 bears, after reading on this board ealier this week that LSU Offense and Nuss were bad and we expose them.

4 Defensive starters missing
Very strong on paper defensive back room. Corners on paper are more highly ranked than ours.
 
Idk now I'm feeling a bit better after listening to the press conference. Beck seems so unfazed and has a lowkey confidence. Idk it I know it's a Mario team but...now I feel good
 
Beck has this thing where he has a tendency to throw low on short passes. Maybe it has something to do with his injury post-arm mechanics and the point of release, I don't know.

What was frustrating to me was in the 3rd quarter, we went away from running the football to passing. Why? We were pounding them into dust with the run. And when we went back to it in the 4th quarter, worked just fine.

#52 was having problem hiking the ball, lol. I've never seen a center that flustered in a half of football.
 
Can Heatherman help Dawson and Mario identify and clean up Offensive tendencies on tape? That would be lovely
 
It was a pretty dull game, and I didn't like our QB play, but if you gave me that score I would have taken it. I knew this game wouldn't be that easy.
 
It was literally raining the whole game ….Beck gotta tighten up but Florida defense is legit even with players missing ….every game is not going to be pretty ..Our defense is legit Bain being 100 percent healthy is paying off …I would like to see Jojo back because I know he can get open hopefully he’s back after the bye week we need him
The wet conditions were a factor....there were off and on heavy downpours in the area all day, the field never got a chance to dry out all that much

I would argue UF made the play of the game by their WR running his route 2 yrds short; it was wide open. What I saw from us is a better coached team, but no way should we’ve allowed them to hang around. To be brutally honest? This is why Mario has yet to field a CFP team despite the resources or talent discrepancy. When u face teams that r inferior & u allow them to hang around, u give them Imposter Syndrome. This is 2 of 4 games where we dominated & allowed inferior teams hang around creating undue anxiety.

If we play anything like this against better offensive teams moving fwd, we will see October - November woes. This was not just a bad UF team, it was a bad UF missing multiple starters. We played against a QB seeing ghost when he says “hike.” I know every victory is not going to be blowouts & I’ll take an ugly W or a bad L, but between ND & now UF, I have concerns. I felt way more confident at this same juncture last yr than this yr.

But we r stl wng which we wudnt hab last yr don u agree? we r mor complete dis yr dan last yr…its da defense dats da diff
 
Funny enough, Beck had issues facing Florida while he was at Georgia.

Passing game has to be clean led up and still lacking some explosives, but part of me saw some of those designed plays during the USF and ND game.

Which tells me they approached this game differently.

Florida also made us be patient and play methodical. I think we should have ran more. Less visually appealing but we were gashing them on that right side.
 
I didn’t like the third quarter. Seemed like Dawson was determined to get Beck going. UF seemed very content letting us play between the 20s. They aren’t a top flight defense but their scheme isn’t that advantageous to how we play offense. Manhandled them and did what we needed to when it mattered.

The only thing we didn’t do well was throw the ball. Every other aspect we did at a high clip. Ran well, tackled well, STs were good outside of that idiotic punt in the third. I think most expected a rock fight. Take it and move on.

Moving forward we are going to continue to see 2 high safeties and 7 guys walked up on the line. Dawson either goes full phalanx until the safeties creep down, or he starts to get creative with his short passing game (tunnel and bubble screens ain't it).
It won’t matter as much. Every team can’t do what Florida or a Notre dame can do.

UF seems super content bending. We just seemed to get too cute in plus territory. They were more than ok getting into 2&6 3&3 situations. Should’ve just been content running it a will. Hindsight is 20/20. Rather have these issues today and not 10/4.
