One thing I was told by my good friend who was there and I trust his observations… he said there was no energy on Uf sidelines… even before the game he didn’t see the same intensity that was coming from Miami… even Miamis coaches were giving off tons of energy like they were about to go play themselves.
The body language told him a lot from the players…. Even that some UF players seemed gassed in warmups. Now this is just his opinion and observation but it did seem to translate quickly into the game
Told my lil bro the same thing. I wasn’t at the game but even after the Montrell TD, you would expect the stadium would be at an all time high but while it was loud, it was still a lil bit muted
Now that the “fog of war” has passed, did you see anything from your roster additions that really made you think you guys would be better than last year? I couldn’t name a difference maker on defense coming in after the kid went to Ole Miss and the only guy on offense was Wilson, but that’s not enough. Losing Ettienne was big because it leaves you with one good option at RB, but outside of that it’s bang average. I just didn’t see the net talent gain to compete. The only thing people said was “the swamp” but thats not an answer.
I like Pup Howard (why we kept subbing him out for Derek Wingo/RJ Moten is BEYOND me), Badger (think he can be a 500ish yard WR for us), annnnnnnd thats it. Along the DL, it was pitiful except for James (24), Searcy (19 who provided SOME pass rush), and true freshmen Michai Boireau at DT & LJ McCray.
I’m DONE with Sapp, Boone, Watson, and Cam Jackson.
