I feel like we might get them. 6.5 seems like they’re baiting people into better FSU

2 backup QBs under the lights at the swamp. It has potential to be a wild one! I wouldn’t touch this one!

Me neither. Too much uncertainty to bet this game.

I can’t say anything that hasn’t been said a hundred times this year. We are an undisciplined mess of a football team. I guess it’s part of the process. Im sure there will be analysis and evaluations.

As we have proven over and over and over again, undisciplined with no situational awareness is a terrible combination.
That and the fact that we have defensive backs that are totally incapable of tackling, not just bad at it, incapable of it, really is tough to overcome.

Our secondary is a bad matchup against anyone carrying a footballl.

Can teams that take a guy out of the portal wake-up later on and put him back in? Yes, I am looking at you Damieon George.

I am wondering who those young guys in blue polo shirts with headsets are.

It’s really the rubber meeting the road now. The rubber being a poorly coached team and the road being the SEC. Billy Napier isn’t the guy. Terrible hire. And even if we keep his monster class we have two more years of excuses of why kids that have played their whole life all of a sudden forgot how to play football. The only talent issue we have are wearing headsets.

Billy Napier is an embarrassment. This is the worst coached football team I have ever seen at the major college level. The fact that he and stricklin are presumed to keep their respective jobs for at least another year is sickening to me as a fan. That was an undisciplined, classless football team today especially the defense with their marshmallow man leader jumping around like a kid on a sugar rush when things were going our way. To expect 18-22 year olds led by that clown to show any maturity whatsoever is foolish, although I will say the fact that they should have ejected 2 guys and given 30 yards in targeting because not one but 2 guys went head hunting on a sliding QB 5 yards short of the line to gain on 3rd down in a 2 point game is a new one. How sad that there’s no end in sight

I intentionally left the quotes off of the monster class because I live In reality. Just for fun let’s land Lagway and put him behind this line though.. iim going off a little here. I’m sorry guys. GO GATORS.

I didn't realize how truly bad that our defense is until ESPN put up our national rankings in multiple categories. Near the absolute bottom in FBS, and that includes some truly horrible teams.

GO GATORS. Right there with you my friend. Couple things are going to happen before NSD that make me wonder about lagway ever donning the orange and blue. First, Texas A&M will make their hire. Lagway is from Texas and has skyrocketed to the top QB with some services and a consensus 5 star. The wrong guy (for us) gets that job and says he has to have lagway to the tune of 8 figure NIL would be quite the test. Second graham mertz is sure to announce his return. I really don’t see Napier not having mertz start. If etienne can’t beat out Johnson despite averaging a yard more per touch and doubling up on TDs at RB which is a lot less complex than QB why do we think a true freshman will beat out a 6th year senior? Finally, per all accounts lagway has been working hard to recruit for Florida. It hasn’t worked. If our class keeps falling and some of his buddies land at a (currently) better program does he jump too? I don’t know why nobody ever points out the fact that we lost 2 returning starters to the portal and replaced them with kids who couldn’t start at other schools, but I guess we’ll just pretend that didn’t happen.hope I’m Wrong. Go gators. I didn't realize how truly bad that our defense is until ESPN put up our national rankings in multiple categories. Near the absolute bottom in FBS, and that includes some truly horrible teams. My favorite part was they showed that as he was jumping around like a jackass because we actually were holding down a kid who had never really played. That didn’t last.

No bowl game is a big hit to recruiting as well. One big chance to show off that all our competitors get and we don't.

BILLY NAPIER: Discipline? What specifically are we referring to? OK, I'll bite. A defensive lineman spitting in the face of an opponent - caught on camera. Defensive backs repeatedly grabbing or pushing receivers on passes that were going to fall incomplete anyway. Two separate players spearing a quarterback who had given himself up and was sliding well short of the first down marker. Sound familiar, Billy? I realize that you have only had two years to fix this.

Boy that's just a TERRIBLE quote. Napier worked for Nick Saban. He's lost to Kirby Smart. Surely he understands what a disciplined team looks like even if he's incapable of getting there.

Here's the plan, let's get the former blue chip from Bama who had his scholarship pulled because he couldn't get on the field largely due to weight issues and we'll take the blue chip from Kentucky who was supposed to be their best OL recruit ever but never played due to weight. We'll put them with our crack S&C staff that developed Desmond Watson and it's magic time.

Something to compare to better programs. Showing him that he had better sign or he could wind up with Gainesville as his only option.

On his last trip RDB forgot to tell him, "I invented Gatorade in that building right over there, it don't get any more real deal than that, am I right?"
