Regarding FL :

I live down in SW FL and I don’t know how any Gator fan can say they get confidence in having Mullen as their coach. 

I get that it’s the first game, and in college it’s all about win and move on... BUT  just watching him in interviews and that play call on their last real possession to throw the ball after all those turnovers, to me, are just signs of pour game management and at what stage your team is at in development. You have to understand the situation and play to pin Miami deep and make them go the length of the field. 

Cant wait for next Sat! Go Blue!

It looks to me like Franks isn't taking the next step in his development and Florida's O-Line is pretty suspect.  Also both UF and the refs gifted Miami a few key penalties on scoring drives.  The 2 fumbles in the first half in plus field position were important too.  Florida could have built themselves a lead if not for those.

Their D-Line looks super strong but Miami's O-Line reminded me a lot of when Michigan's line played Notre Dame last year.  They just weren't ready.

Rich Rod's career there died because he acted like a prick and apparently cheated on his wife, along other Title IX violations.  (I'm not the biggest fan of all of the aspects of Title IX, but in this case I'll give it its due).  Had he not done that, he probably would have been a high-side-of-mediocre coach like he was in his first few seasons there, and the Wildcats would have been fine with that.

Instant Classic - lol I watched the entire game and was getting tired I think it was 230AM.  I thought for sure Tate was going to score there and I would have been up past 3AM
