This Tiger Fan's take on the UF game.

Its not the no huddle cause he is ok in that set to..what I see the problem is when they call a play get to the line and then wait 10 secs for the coaches to call the play and then 3 secs to tell everyone on the line.

Watch sometimes he doesnt get the play in from the sideline until there is 5 secs on the play clock....Florida does the samething with calling in the plays but they give Timmy 10 secs to get the play into the other players..hell a couple of times he had enough time to go completely down the line and tell each lineman.

Perhaps Miles is calling in the plays and we all know how sometimes he gets tripped up on his own thoughts...

 

Jefferson has to learn to operate on the crawl before he can operate on the fly. Long long way to go before he gets there.

 

i shouldn't have called it no huddle, when he changes the play at the line, is he calling out the wrong play? Is this on JJ, our players not knowing the plays, or is that too complicated? If other teams can change plays at the line, then we should be able to too. To me its a JJ issue, not being able to run the offense, and change the play at the line of scrimmage.

 

And it very well may be. Perhaps he is not understanding and its taking him longer to understand what they are calling. But its not him reading the defense and then changing the play on his own..its waiting for the coaches to change the play based on what they are seeing.

And you can tell when they know the play is coming from the sideline...the linemen dont hurry and get up on the line as quick and snappy as they do when the play is already called.

but if that is the case it is still on the coaches. They either have to put someone in that can do it OR if Jefferson is the starter then they have to coach to his level.

But like I said its just not him. The WRs are not close enough to hear what the play is most of the time and they are suppose to be coached to be able to look at the sideline and know which play is being called as well...thats why they have the play cards on their arms just like a QB.

And if they are looking to the sideline and then running the wrong route....it seems there is a failure to communicate.

 

One thing... stop it with the, "our D held them to 13 points." Florida moved the ball fairly easily on our DL. Florida was playing conservative and Tebow was not his normal transcendent self. Our D looked good, not great, last night.

 

But do you honestly think that Urban Meyer wouldn't have put 40 points on us last night if he could have???

Tebow was not himself in the first half. In the second half, he seemed to shake off his trepidation and made more incredible Tebowian plays.

Our defense had a heck of a time getting off the field, it's true, but it's also true that Florida couldn't score at will. As true as it is that we couldn't score at all.

 

That was about as plain & vanilla O game plan as the Gator staff could put together. I think they knew we couldn't score against their D and game planned accordingly. Can't argue with the results.

 

I agree with you lsu-i-like, UF did move the ball steady but considering how long the defense was on the field the entire game, I have to say the D did do well.

The 1st half UF was very conservative and only ran the ball and the D did OK. But the D got no rest because of the horrible offense.

I'm convinced that if the Offense could've established some momentum and put a few more points on the board with a couple long drives the Defense would've held a little better. I think the D deserves some props though even if the UF was conservative in the 1st half. LSU D did get burned a few times with good running plays and couple of pass plays and a few Tebow rushes, but overall I thought they did well.

 

I don't think he had that ability with Tebow in the game and was playing it very safe anyway. We looked damn strong at times, but we had trouble slowing their roll, at least outside the 20s.
