    Him running could have secured a victory against UF and could have put a few points on the board against Alabama. When you have a guy that can run you run him. It’s not like the guy is Joe Montana throwing the ball.

    It would have helped the passing game too. The backup is pretty slender, though.

    the bowl game, fla, a&m all have the same end result of playing too conservatively in crunch time when a different mindset may have yielded a different result...easy to say in hindsight, but we may have enough of a sample size to render an objective opinion

    Why did we not run the 2 minute offense we saw by the fifth overtime. We saw we have the plays and can execute yet we just refuse to even try it unless forced. Makes no sense.

    Add Joes running as LaSalle said and you have yourself a goddamn modern offense. And it helps the shitty oline.

    We just refuse to change. I woke up thinking I was ok. Those 7 overtimes made me forget just how bad that loss was because of the absurdity of it all.

    I probably won't ever get over this one once I recall everything that had to go wrong.

    But i knew it was over when the Gatorade bath happened.

    Jobu does not smile on premature celebrations.
