4th and 1 false start leads to a missed field goal.

This Florida team does not look good

[-] hellyeahgococks@fanaticus.social 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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...

[-] TheAndrewBrown@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

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

[-] wjrii@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

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

Damn that's good. Good on you for raising her the right way

[-] wjrii@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

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

[-] wjrii@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Cam Rising looks like Pedro from Napoleon Dynamite.

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

Lmao. I miss Rising at Texas. Now we don't have him or the mullet (Quinn Ewers cut it off this summer)

[-] wjrii@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

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...

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.

I think I change my prediction. Utah is on track for 210-0.

[-] wjrii@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Graham Mertz: all the inconsistency of Anthony Richardson, none of the ceiling!

[-] wjrii@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

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.

Fuck, and I cannot stress this enough, fLorida

Looks like all the mods are fans of orange teams. I smell a conspiracy...

Just checking in to say FUCK ALL ORANGE TEAMS

[-] wjrii@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Well, that was one of the more dominant two-score wins I've ever seen. GG to the Utes. Billy has a tough row to hoe this season, but he has got to get the Gators looking less sloppy to keep people believing for the future.

[-] wjrii@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Yikes. Big yikes.

Mertz you goober.

[-] wjrii@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

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

[-] wjrii@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

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.

This year was always part of the rebuild.

Ok, we don't want to beat them by too much. I don't like playing backup gator qbs

[-] wjrii@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

After that Utah punt, do you need some Narcan?

OH BABY THATS HOW YOU PUNT

[-] wjrii@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago
[-] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

So nice you said it twice

[-] eatmoregreenfood@artemis.camp 3 points 1 year ago

I am not impressed gators.

[-] eatmoregreenfood@artemis.camp 3 points 1 year ago

Gators having serious trouble in the red zone

[-] wjrii@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Well, I called "sloppy."

I'm a genius.

[-] wjrii@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

These fuckers just want to keep it close enough that I watch this whole game.

Thank blue-eyed Utah Christ, a stop.

What are your score predictions?

This is a major question mark for me with Rising out and the game being played in Utah.

I’m going with 24-17 Gators

I haven't thought about it much, but low scoring. Maybe something like Utah 17 to 14?

[-] wjrii@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Florida wins 77-7! Go Gators!

Actually, as a true homer, Florida wins but it’s a messy 21-20.

[-] wjrii@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Mertz you goober!!!! 😊

[-] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Also y'all I'm out coaching rn (swimming not fb) you gotta let me know if there are any just incredibly bad plays for florida or and really good punts

[-] wjrii@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

in all seriousness, two punters from the punter farm in Australia, and a game at altitude. Already shaping up nicely.

Not in this game, but there was a 50ish yard punt downed at the one in the Nebraska-Minnesota game (of course it's B1G)

[-] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

PUNTING IS WINNING

[-] wjrii@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Nice catch, Burke. Mertz at least seems to be over the early game jittery overthrows.

[-] wjrii@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Now, I do have to wonder why TF you dress two guys with the same jersey number. It's not like you need 100 players on gameday. Seems... avoidable.
