Gators offense as usual is horrible

Talk about luck. 9 points missed off 3 FGs by Tennessee too

Technically it's a Hail Mary but he hit him in stride. That was a 65 yard throw, that was on the money.
Why don't you have a safety further back?

what the fuck were the two deep safeties doing?

The Hail Mary is the throw.
That was a great game

In Gainesville.

I think this LSU/MSU game will be good too.

I'll be in Baton Rouge next week for the Cuse/LSU game.
Anything can happen  
bigbluehoya : 9/16/2017 7:46 pm : link
But 7.5 was too many for LSU to be laying at Starkville
C'mon Tom Herman  
KerrysFlask : 9/16/2017 8:53 pm : link
Fuck stuff up for everyone...

(actually no chance, but...)
Why wouldn't Hermann just kick the 32 yd FG?  
PatersonPlank : 9/16/2017 8:54 pm : link
Instead he goes for a 4th and 3
Herman says he hates short field goals.  
KerrysFlask : 9/16/2017 9:41 pm : link
He's very aggressive. To a fault probably.

Darnold looks pretty unimpressive. Too bad texas has zero offense. Their defense is killing it.

Sound like Texas homers announcing this game.

And that's coming from a Texas fan.

We have not had an even semi-competent QB since colt Mccoy. Amazing
TD Texas - Pick 6  
PatersonPlank : 9/16/2017 10:09 pm : link
Texas needs their QB Buechele back in the game. This freshman isn't ready
Is anyone else annoyed by the amount of reviews going on?

Even things that are straight forward

UW receiver. Just scored his third punt td this year (one each game) and tied the NCAA career record.
LSU getting mauled by Miss. St

In Starkville
Collin Johnson is insane  
KerrysFlask : 9/16/2017 10:43 pm : link
2 incredible catches so far. If only he had a qb.

And buechele is not the answer. Dudes never thrown a pass over the middle in his life.
Ellingher is getting time and the WR's look open  
PatersonPlank : 9/16/2017 11:04 pm : link
He just doesn't hit them. If Buechele isn't the answer then who is?
Also the Texas D looks very well coached  
PatersonPlank : 9/16/2017 11:05 pm : link
They are not letting USC get the edge, tackling very well, and flying to the ball. They have come a long way in 2 weeks.
This is a surprise performance by this defense.  
KerrysFlask : 9/16/2017 11:26 pm : link
Complete 180 from the first game against Maryland.

Like I was saying, they've been looking for the answer since Colt Mccoy and haven't come close. Garrett Gilbert, David Ash, Swoopes, Heard, etc. They're all supposed to be the next big thing, but fail every time.
Maryland might be pretty good.

Of Gus johnson? I find his energy level grating sometimes
Yea that jump pass when he was about to get destroyed  
Stu11 : 9/17/2017 12:26 am : link
was a thing of beauty. Am I the only one who can't stand this OT format? The pro way is so much better.
Double OT

for beating a 14-point underdog by 3 in 2 OTs.

Hilarious how they're calling this revenge for 2005.

He's a freshman. Relax tuff guy.
Tuff guy?  
KerrysFlask : 9/17/2017 1:01 am : link
Give it *to your backs. Haven't established much of a run game this year, but Warren doesn't fumble there.

It was shot against Tim Beck. You relax, goober.
Nobody has even mentioned this on TV...  
KerrysFlask : 9/17/2017 1:03 am : link
(from reddit)

First half usc:

Timeout 1: Before 4th and goal on their 2nd series

Timeout 2: To prevent delay of game before punt on their 5th series

Timeout 3: To stop the clock before Texas' punt before the pick 6

Timeout 4: To stop the clock before the hail mary

Maybe fix your writing if you're going to make a point, goober.

Absolutely incomprehensible. Goober.

I love how everyone says relax he’s freshman. And Patience, now with Texas. No one wanted to say be Patient when Strong was playing all these guys you see out there now as true freshman. Herman gets to benefit from Charlie taking all the lumps of playing these guys early. Evey guy on that team right now basically played a ton as true freshman. But no one wanted to hear Patience then.

But no one wanted to hear Patience then.



The majority of Texas fans were willing to give Strong more time, he got a lot of patience from the fan base. I was 100% against letting him go and bringing in Hermann. The decision was made by the administration and insiders (like long time donors). Also Strong's undoing in the end wasn't the offense, it was the terrible play of the defense. The offense looked better under Strong still, however the defense was very poor for whatever reason. I am not a Hermann fan, but the D in the last two games has been years ahead of the Strong D for whatever reason. The guy, or his staff, has coached them up.

What got Strong fired wasn't patience from the fan base, it was some rift with the administration, the lousy D (which is loaded with top prospects and as you can see was underperforming), and a few horrible losses led by the one to Kansas (which really was not excusable).
Again the defense has a ton of prospects  
Rflairr : 9/17/2017 9:09 am : link
But again. Strong was playing them as true freshman. They're going to struggle in a pass happy power conference.

I thought they were both plenty impressive. Sometimes these guys get held to such high standards, if they are not perfect, people like to knock them down a few notches. Say what you want about Rosen, but he's literally putting that team on his back. He's got no running game, a horrible offensive line, and a defense that is giving up points in bunches.

And Darnold, I don't see how you can even criticize him.

Don't get me wrong, I liked Strong and wanted him to get another year. I hope he does really well in SoFL. I was just trying to shed some light on what happened, and also that most of the fan base wanted him back. Even Matthew McConnaughy came out in support. I especially like how he cleaned up the program and made the players accountable for classes, their actions, etc.
I liked Strong as well, and I was pulling for him to stay on board,  
barens : 9/17/2017 9:54 am : link
but after the Kansas game, that was going to be a tough sell. And like others have mentioned, the defense just wasn't up to par. Sometimes that happens, but game after game, there were so many missed tackles, that it became hard to overlook.
Rosen reminds me of Eli

Makes a lot of great passes and then some inexplicable ones.
