in a game where we gave up two pick 6's. That friends is simply amazing.

Best defensive coaching staff in the country with great young talent.

I've been waiting for what feels like 8 years for Mone to be the man he appeared to be in high school. I don't think I noticed him once today. Was he injured?

Both QBs were getting destroyed on the regular. They will be incredibly sore.

He a nose guard. His job is to be a plugger and occupy double teams. He not going to be a sack guy. He's out there doing his job.

They went with only 3 lineman alot, and the 3 were Gary, Hurst and Winovich.

On a 3 man line hurst is a NG, I thought he was great! He won't put up big numbers at times but he plugs holes, moves the line and was a disruptive force in the middle. Others will clean up and get the tackle/stat but he is extremely hard to block. He was in on quite a few tackles if I'm not wrong. Film breakdown will be favorable for him I think.

That one play where he took on the tackle, shed him, then moved laterally to stop the UF back for a short gain was really impressive.

Has anyone heard the status of Watson? It looked like he was favoring his shoulder when he came out. I thought he made some nice plays today.

That game was not as close as the score indicated. The two pick sixes were awful, but take those away and the game is likely closer to 40-3.

Devin Bush is a fucking man.

Stop me if I'm wrong, but I think Gary was great. I think the lack of Mone was mitigated in part by Gary drawing constant double teams and still being able to contain even though that won't show up on the score sheet. UFR I bet grades him out pretty well

Yeah--I am about the worst football analyst around, but when I remembered to look at the D line instead of the QB it seemed that Gary was always getting doubled.

I feel like some hoped for more, but I felt like Florida game planned to contain him by either doubling or going away. But then they got a face full of kemp/bush/winovich, etc

POA. LBs were fairly clean and safeties kept everything in front (other than long run aided by holding). Need to get some rest for the starting DL the next few weeks. Needed more downs from Dwumfour, Solomon, Jeter and Vilain - but great to see Kemp & Marshall contributing. Defense can be great by Nov if it stays healthy.

Any idea why McCray sat out the first series? He also didn't go out for the coin toss as it was Cole, Hurst, and Poggi out there.

This defense looked pretty darn good -- solid or better at all three levels. Line and backers were great. Secondary was supposed to be the weakness but they made plays and I didn't see any busts.

Too bad there's no Florida-perspective UFR, it'd be interesting on the strip-sack-touchdown. Winovich blew between Florida's 73 and 61, and 73 can be seen yelling at 61 a bit like he expected help and got nothing.

A quote from a Gator fan.

I'll be really curious about snap counts and formations for this game. It seemed lke they lifted Mone a lot and went with a lot of 3 man fronts.

Blowouts the next few games. Offense will definitely be better against lesser teams. We may beat sparty by 30-90 points.

Did Mone only play the first drive of the game? Did anybody see a potential injury there? Also, both Long and Hurst both left the game at certain points and did t return... anybody have any info on their status?
