    Just stupid mistakes from Florida. This team is a mess. Especially when you consider how talented they are.

    This is all coaching.

      It wouldn’t be week one without these sorts of frustrations. Remember last year when Florida won? How did the rest of the season go for each team, I wonder…

      That was an egregious coaching failure. Rookie head coaches don’t make that mistake

    My daughter to me: “Daddy, I really hope your team wins, even though they probably won’t.”

        Strictly speaking, she didn’t catch that it was only the first quarter, but I LOL’d. She tolerates my Floridaman tendencies, but takes the lead in all things sporting from her Dallas-born, TCU-alum mother.

    Any ACC fans out there who can explain why they’re considering an odd number of expansion candidates? Does the ND scheduling arrangement make it more practical?

    And yes, yes I am trying to change the subject in my own team’s game thread.

      Lol. Well I’m not an ACC fan but I think the ND deal probably helps. Could be saving a spot for full ND membership if they can convince the domers they need to be in a conference and the B1G is full. Maybe the real decision makers (ESPN) asked them to.

    This is brilliant from the Gators. Lull them into a false sense of security with a two score lead and starting a drive on the Florida side of the field. 5-D chess over here.

    Punt team is good when they don’t cheat in literally the most pointlessly dumb way imaginable.

    Cam Rising looks like Pedro from Napoleon Dynamite.

    Of course, Graham Mertz looks like Kip Dynamite without the sexy mustache.

        Eh, good. The blonde mullet is a Southlake Carroll thing. I hate Southlake Carroll.

          Not a fan of them either. Now, when I was a kid did I go to Southlake on Halloween to trick-or-treat? Let’s just say they were giving away full-size candy bars and iPods…

    Jesus. The first play long bomb is usually just supposed to loosen up the defense against the backup QB.

    Can I revise my score prediction?

      Lmao, overreactions in this thread, I love it.

      In seriousness, Utah knew Rising probably wouldn’t be able to play so we shouldn’t think of Barnes as a “backup”. He’s been getting reps in practice for sure

        What’s the point of a game thread if not overreactions and dumb takes, Lol?

        Still think that play call is mostly to make sure the D believes the “backup” will run the entire offense.
