A lot of teams did struggle, that is true. Get the penalties down, be more consistent on O and establish yourself, that would be great.

He just looks pissed that ball left his hand poorly. He knew he grounded it as soon as he slung it.

Hmmmmm

Not that it doesn’t make Texas’ offensive issues any less significant, but after watching so many top 25 teams lose or struggle to win, I feel better about this season if the offense continues to improve and they clean up the boneheaded penalties.

Here’s a bit of perspective: Quinn played 37 college games. In all of those games, he only had a higher passer efficiency rating FOUR TIMES than Arch had in this game (183.3). We are all being extremely critical of Arch, and he certainly left a lot of meat on the bone. But let’s not act like he’s a scrub. He is oozing potential and still extremely inexperienced. And despite all that, his mediocre game against SJSU still resulted in a PER that was the equivalent of Quinn at his peak.

I wonder if there’s any players this staff would want for next season and how UF’s 2026 high school recruiting class would be affected if they can Napier mid season. Gotta think about that when letting a coach go now, even when it’s clear they’re not the right guy for the job. Not fully sold on Kelly and Cristobal to both beat Napier though.

Really you think after tonight? That game was in the swamp. I don't know if I'm too concerned about that game in a few weeks. I think less now than I was before the season started. We'll see though, that's why you gotta play the games. 😁🤘🤘

Who did we have a chance to land in the portal at WR? I'll give a mulligan for that, as I believe it was smack bang in the middle of the playoffs, no? But I don't remember us being a favourite for any WR's.

Again, I said we get the W and nobody said we weren't deeper. You just don't overlook playing at the swamp. Y'all keep the confidence though.

After today I would say Florida will be less of a challenge then we thought and Zero U is much better than last year

What about the Michael Taaffe injury? He looked shaken up left the field and didn’t return.

Love to see it 🤣. But I do think they will be a little amped up since we smoked them like a pack or cools last year.

Quinn’s first year starting had some pretty ugly games. He improved a lot year 2 then seemed to regress final year (likely due to injuries). Arch gonna be fine.

Actually your stats do lie. We ran for 155 yards and averaged 4.8 ypc. Not great but in most games, I’ll take 5 ypc.

Great perspectives Jeff. My questions / concerns are: 1) OL and DL through two games look extremely undisciplined with all the stupid penalties. Gotta clean up quickly. Collin Simmons, wtf with the stupid penalties through 2 weeks? 2) Arch appears to have regressed in past 12 months on fundamentals/ mechanics. What is AJ Milwee teaching our QBs? Concerningvtrend with the way Quinn seemed to regress his final year? Way too many examples through 2 games where Arch not seeing wide open receivers down field, poor mechanics, sloppy footwork. 3) Wide receivers dropping very catchable balls (Wingo drop inexcusable) and holding call on Livingstone was crushing in the moment. Those kill momentum. 4) DBs getting burned too often. With a better QB, several additional TDs get scored against us today. 5) Jerrick Gibson gonna be sitting a lot this year if he can’t hold the f’ing ball. Like Christian Clark A LOT. So good to see Baxter building momentum. Feels like our running game could be a real strength this season. 6) Punting seemed off today compared to last week. 7) I heard Sark talk this week about how much he loves blocked punts but good Lord, that is a nut crushing stupid penalty on 4th down to get roughing the punter. Same as a turnover but it’s self inflicted to give free 1st down. 8. We won by 30+ but for much of the game, it didn’t feel good. Very sloppy, erratic. We easily could lose upcoming games against OU, Georgia, A&M, staring at 8-4 if we don’t make big strides in lots of areas quickly. The good news is lots of good tape to highlight areas to improve. No part of the team should be overconfident. Long season. Lots of time to improve, just cannot afford to lose games we’re favored. Hook em! 🧡🤘🏼🐂

He hurt his thumb against OU and was ineffective the rest of the game which fueled their comeback. I don’t think it healed for much of the rest of the season.

Florida lost to South Florida today

believe it was later in that season when Thompson went out with Injury and it might've been WV or someone like that. He came in and played pretty well. He also came in during '22 when Ewers got hurt in that Bama game. Even though he was banged up himself. That might be the game you're talking about.

I agree, Wingo needs to up his game. He looks like he doesn't even want to be there lol. Which is odd. Stroh definitely didn't have a good game where he had a better one against Ohio State. Disagree taht he doesn't need to be on the field, he just needs to get better/consistent, like most of the team. Niblett is a bit of a disappointment because he has some game changing speed but that's about it. Suppose the positive is that they have a few gimmes to get things sorted/fixed.

Called bad throws

I think if Wingo is going to play as bad as he has we need to try Lockett. Nibblett being on the field and expecting to be a lead blocker on screens shouldn't be a thing at all. Stroh doesn't need to be on the field. He's a liability due to having 2 cinder blocks attached to his feet. He's only good if he can get his hands on you. I think sometimes coaches tend to have a tendency to put too much into how a player practices and don't account for gamers.

good luck getting that info here

I thought card was going to be good to. I tend agree with you, that arky game had a Garrett Gilbert affect on him. And he always had a nagging injury to. I dont remember the game but I remember him having to gut it out on 1 leg.

That is a definite concern. 2-12 against SJSU. The score isn't what bothers me, it's the execution and lack of consistency. It's the sloppiness and laziness getting 12 penalties. I saw Simmons jump offsides 2 or 3 times.
