Yes but Florida with the talent they had last year struggled in games, had they had the issues last year we faced this season... they might have dropped another 2-3 games... while they still lost 4, they didn't have a lot of blanks like we do. Lets not forget the whooping they took by Michigan who got beat by App St., that alone was embarrasing for UF.
But with the talent margin they held over Michigan... it was a whooping. But they also like I said, did not have the huge voids we did this year. We had a lot more to over come this season then Florida did last year, and I for one think had a few things been done differently we atleast have 2 more wins... not a great season but still not bad considering where we could be right now.
"A football team should win that game. A football team should manage that game. You've got to play smarter. I told the team that's the last time. That ain't happening again". Quote from Les Miles after yesterday's debacle. Now it's time to see if and how CLM will right the ship before bowl day. I personally support CLM and think that he will make the changes needed. I, of course, as do the vast majority of fans, believe that the co-DC's have got to go. When they were concentrating on their position coaching, they were really doing good. Now they seem to have forgotten that they have a line and backs to coach. yesterday, it seems they never knew that Arkansas had changed quarterbacks in the second half. Crowton has had a bad year trying to call games. I understand it is difficult when you continually are changing quarterbacks, and have to try to call the game playing to their strengths, but yesterday, when Jefferson was having success, it seems that we went to conservative "not lose" offensse rather than staying with what was obviously working in the second quarter. Overall, I wm waiting to see what CLM does. His quote above seems to carry the same flavor as his response to Herbstreit at the SEC Championship last year.
Exactly! Florida- dominated us from beginning to end. Georgia- NO defense what so ever. 2 pick sixes Alabama- ONLY well played defensive game all year. turnovers gave them the game. Troy- we LUCKILY won that game which is embarrassing. Ole Miss- No defense and no running game. Arky- defense melts down in 2nd half. penalties and hawkins beaten twice by casey frickin dick. I've said all year that the QB play has not bothered me nearly as much as the pathetic defense that we have played all year. And i've also said that this offseason will define Miles has a coach. You live in the past, you die in the past. Forget about what Miles has done and let's see what he does in the future. That's what UT did with Fat Fullmer. Im not saying Miles is the same as Fullmer, but you can't give him a free ride cause he won a NC.
