        I think y’all’ll get it. EDIT: or not. This game is so damn stupid.

        Also was hopeful about that replay until I saw the puff of sand.

        Yeah normally I like Heup’s playcalling. It can be controversial but it’s aggressive… that wasn’t

      1. “Gutsy throw” = announcer speak for “Stupid freshman throw that somehow worked out”.

      2. I don’t hate that fourth down decision or the call. Sometimes they don’t work out, and Creepy Zombie Science UT clearly has the momentum.

      BAH, there we go. I knew Lagway wouldn’t go under center. He takes spikes and kneeldowns from shotgun.

      Being in the gun is a disadvantage. Jet sweep against a fast team is dumb and why Billy is probably still going to get fired this year.

      1. Interception! LOL.

      2. Gotta give Heupel credit. After his playing days, he didn’t do any Kingsbury/Reilly bullshit. No sir, with athletic fitness no longer a key requirement, the man went full fat-dad. I can appreciate that.

      3. Neither team wants to score any points. Jeezus.

        This times a million. Billy seems like a good dude, but he coaches DUMB.

            The announcers keep talking about it being “like an NFL game.” Well, right now it looks like the fourth quarter of the Hall of Fame preseason opener.

      Somehow Florida gets a brilliant improvisational play for a TD, and decides to to some bizarre trick play, but then says nope at the last second. PAT good. This game is very stupid, LOL.

        The last one looked a bit sus, but as they mentioned you wouldn’t want to have a key pass rusher out on a key third-and-long. I would in general be in favor of having to stay out more than one play if you have to come off, though. Realistically, can you even be properly evaluated in the 30-60 seconds that a play could reasonably take in real time?

        I thought he stepped out and was still a bit short, but I admit I was pleasantly surprised by that spot.

      Crowd noise was a given. Billy might lose close and still get tarmac’d. Such an underwhelming coaching display.

        To wit, the play calling FOR LAGWAY was much more aggressive when it was his designated possessions, but now Billy is acting like he’s a raw backup with no reps.

      Punting is smart for Tennessee. The more plays Florida has to run, the greater the chance Billy Napier does something stupid. Big Brain Heupel.

        Worst part is, I can’t even blame that on Billy. Lagway just forgot defenders are allowed to jump.

      Florida scores a TD.

      Mertz has non-contact injury. Johnson still out.

        I have this game on in the background while I do chores and I swear every time I check back in I see an injured Gator. I’m new to the SEC – is this field really cursed as was purported in The Blind Side?

        Apparently they also sacrificed the entire defense. Nice drive, undersaturated orange team.

        I feel exactly the opposite. This Gators team is not built for high pressure situations where mistakes are punished.

            Y’all are talented but have a few issues to sort out. GG (of a sort, LOL).

            Any sort of competence from Billy in the first half, and I don’t the second plays out how it did. This one won’t get Billy fired tonight, but it won’t help much either.

      Montrell Johnson twisted all funky on that tackle (it was clean, best I can tell, though sort of an unintentional hip-drop). Not optimistic he’ll be back tonight.
