    I am going to catch a lot of crap for this but..... I would not mind if Dan Mullen left the Gators. His offensive play calling is crazy and he seems to only call a few plays a game. I think this offense needs to do more with the talent it has and use our weapons more. Now I am not saying this becuase of this year but it has been a few yrs now. Now do I think Dan Mullen is bad? No I don't and he could easily turn it around. He should not be fired at all but if he left I would not shed any tears

    You won't catch any crap from me. Take a look at the old site. I know I was posting my frustrations back when Leak was being asked to run the spread option. Talk about square peg / round hole.

    It just kills me because this offense could be deadly.

    I don't think you'll catch any crap from anyone here. I agree, I think he could turn it around but I have been very frustrated with the lack of creativity from the offense for awhile now. We have a solid defense now, the offense needs to step up.

    Well I am glad I am not the only one. I agree with both of you. Our offense could be soooo deadly without even trying hard. Rainey, Demps, and James need to be used. I know not everydown but let them make plays. How Rainey has been so quiet after the spring is beyond me.

    Motion I actually have faith in our defense. I know it says 31 points v.s. Ole Miss but they played much better than that.

    This could turn out to be a blessing in disguise. Hopefully Hicks can step up and fill in.

    Does the article say Hicks is filling in? Typically that would be Stamper, and I've been liking Stamper more than Doe this year anyway.

    There better not be anymore fumbles! That's all I care about. Start using our other weapons other than percy

    Can I just be a proud dad for a minute?

    My son just turned 5 in August. The other day my wife came running in the house so that I would go out and watch him playing football. He was out there with about a half dozen other boys between 8-12. As I walked out they were choosing up teams and my son was picked first. I started laughing trying to figure out what they were doing, so I asked the oldest. He was beside himself, saying "Have you seen him tackle? Watch this!" He took off running and told my son to tackle him. Straight up Zach Thomas human missel stuff. Had me rolling thinking I was watching the Water Boy.

    Now we're watching the pregame and they're showing Ark and UF highlights. He jumps up "Wow! Did you see that hit!"

    I'm raising a LB :D

    How many sacks does Dunlap have this year?
    He's improved quite a bit. I would hate to line up against him.
    As good as he's become, he isn't even in sight of his ceiling yet.

    Totally forgot to give you props on this last week :up:
    This kid is has been great.
    I'm pretty disappointed with Wondy. So much talent there. I just don't think there's a lot going on upstairs.

    Thats awesome bro! :up:

    He's a beast, I'm surprised he hasn't started the last two games.

    Anyone else notice my boy Jenkins started over Wondy today? :wink2:

    Cool story, thanks for sharing.:hi5: Must be awesome having a kid, even better having one that enjoys the same things as you. Good luck with Arkansas, they have that coach who's 'Sabanesque':up:

    Little Ahmad Black with the big hit on 4th :woot:
    It's not often you hear about the less than stellar physical talent rising to the top with at a school like UF, especially in the secondary. Black is just a straight up football player though.

    We are getting shredded on the ground though. Lots of misdirection has our guys very confused.

    How was that not P.I.!!!

    Why do teams bother with that? I just don't think the risk/reward is worth it. It's so obvious when you're trying to pull the other team offsides and thus wasting a valuable time out. :nono:

    Yeah but there are some team who still have that one guy. Well I missed that Fake Punt call. Our defense needs to step up. This is by far the worse we have looked on defense

    Recipe for a long day =
    Great running back (Smith looks fantastic!) + offensive line opening 5 yard wide holes + confused defense.

    Spikes is lost. The misdirection is keeping him from attacking, and they're getting a body on him 4 yards off the LoS. Bad stuff.

    Hey, how has Spikes looked this season? I think he is a good player but I have seen little and am basing it off of that. You guys got any details on him?

    Btw, good luck in this game. I expect you guys to win.

    Its not just Spikes it seems like half the defense is lost. Major Wright is not playing well as of late

    He's looked like a 1st round draft pick this year. Outstanding up until today.


    BTW, Hicks got away with one there, but really attack the previous play well. I forgot to watch for him earlier, but I'll keep an eye on him going forward. Very excited to see what he's got.

    It's certainly not just him, but when your stud MLB is struggling, you're not stopping anyone's running game. That's why I mentioned that there's been a body on him before he can attack the play. That's akin to a RB having to juke before getting to the hole. Bad stuff.
