9/1/12 FINAL Bowling Green Falcons 14 at Florida Gators 27

[magnafides]

On the bright side, the offense is getting plenty of rest.

[ColoGator]

I hate playing a supposed over-matched opponent only to learn they have a 3 year starting QB and experience on the line when UF is transitioning coaches and players

[GatorAvatar]

What are your first impressions?

[kalaniocc]

Get a stop

[gatorman_07732]

wow

[born2beagator]

and another 3rd down conversion.

Awful defense right now

[FloridaxGators1]

What the ****!!!!!!

[CinciGator]

pitiful

[Setsuna00]

Enough blitzing. Enough. LBs spy the QB he's staring them down.

[BengermanV]

Blah. Not off to the best start, and BGU is soaking up a ton of time. There is a chance this ends up being closer than a lot of us hoped.

[NOTgaGATORanymore]

This is a top 10 defense?

[MR_FLORIDA]

we keep giving up 3rd down conversions...not good

[ThePlayer]

Sure be nice to have that Bowling Green offense.

[tomis_gator]

BG has looked much better than us offensively.

[tilly]

Seriously hating that camera view that keeps showing the plethora of empty seats in the SE Endzone....Those are visitors tix that we usually gobble up.

[Dayman]

Our D is subbing a lot, talking a lot and moving presnap...just play your man and beat him for God's sake we're thinking too much.

[GatorInSC]

There going to throw quick short throws all day long

[GatorLaw]

Are we playing alabama

[NorthCaptivaGator]

Looks like Doak Campbell up there, muschamp is on a short leash

[magnafides]

I hate playing a supposed over-matched opponent only to learn they have a 3 year starting QB and experience on the line when UF is transitioning coaches and players

They play in the MAC, and only won 5 games last year.

[orangebluegator]

Need a take away

[phillyblount]

"roughing the passer.....urrrrnt. Give me a break

[Setsuna00]

Only ONE possession this quarter.

[MelBeachGator]

Does Muschamp ever have ANY imput on the defense? Hard to believe he has a background in it...

[kalaniocc]

Oh boy.

[born2beagator]

This is shameful

[FloridaxGators1]

WRAP UP DAMMIT!!!!!!

[etennant]

Their D is getting a lot of rest. Ours not so much

[NOTgaGATORanymore]

Pitiful

[MR_FLORIDA]

WTH is Purifoy doing? we are making this guy look like an all-star?

[AlfaGator]

Hope everyone took the under.

[Colossus15]

Wow purifoy

[axer13]

purifoy not tackling at all

[jisgator]

This is not a top 10 defense. We can't get off the field.

[orangebluegator]

Wow. Missed tackles. Purifoy won't play much more with the backups we got

[magnafides]

Not good for Louchiez...

[GatorLaw]

I,d be happy if either of our qbs look as good as the bg qb

[Setsuna00]

WTH!? He is STARING THE RECEIVER DOWN. Undisciplined.

[MelBeachGator]

HAHAHA, Dan Quinn needs a f**** seminar on the slant pass......unfreakingbelievable

[BengermanV]

Another reason the swapping QB this is stupid: Bowling Green is going to give us the ball with seconds left in the quarter.

[keypox]

hold fist and goal

Wow this is bad

[Dreamliner]

The l-o-n-g nightmare continues.

[rmonteag]

Here we go again! All the practicing cant correct the one fatal flaw of this team..ugh

[magnafides]

WTF, the flag was 3 seconds AFTER the ball sailed over everyone's head...

[FloridaxGators1]

Wow...

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S III using Gator Country

[MR_FLORIDA]

Good job Danny!

[NOTgaGATORanymore]

And the hits just keep on coming

[tomis_gator]

crap offense...missed tackles on defense and almost had a punt blocked...not too impressed so far. apart from the first defensive series, we've looked like crap...and nowwe got another penalty.

[1996Gator]

Wow.

[tilly]

That play was dead!

[Setsuna00]

WOW. Refs can't blow the whistle? That's complete BS.

[sflagator]

UF seems to be substituting the entire defense in and out, switching the no. 1 for the no. 2 and back.

The thing that disturbs me is not our defense - I can't remember the last time I thought our D looked good in the first game. I can only remember a few times that the offense looked decent.

What bothers me is that our O Line cannot seem to open any holes. The O Line was supposed to be a strength, they are playing Bowling Green for pete's sake, and they should be juiced and ready to kill at the beginning of the game. They are getting no push off the ball. Disturbing

Also, our penalties make me think Champ has not imposed the discipline he had hoped

As mentioned, it is only the first Q of the first game though. If UF loses, then I'll worry. Anything else is fine.

[BengermanV]

Well.... This is no good.

[magnafides]

Our guys are soft. Gators could lose this game.

[AlfaGator]

Wow we let him get in, really sorry.

[GatorWon]

Right down our throats

[keypox]

They should have stopped that play and wow all our guys lost contact

[Baller]

Is this real life

[born2beagator]

any pride gators? Show it

[MR_FLORIDA]

WOW! SMH! looks like i gotta get my Muschamp pitchforks out Lol

[jisgator]

This is our so called tough defense that muschamp likes. Nothing short of embarrassing.

[MelBeachGator]

How was that play not ruled dead?

[Dreamliner]

BGSU more physical than are. Maybe they do Olympic lifting.

*chortles*

[mdgator05]

Well that was some spectacular defense that drive. Absolutely dominating. Top 10 even.

[GatorNorth]

At some point you have to look in the mirror and just be honest, mediocrity has set in

[FloridaxGators1]

We regressed... big time...

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S III using Gator Country

[NOTgaGATORanymore]

I was sure hoping for better than this

[gatordavisl]

What the hell is Jacobs doing swinging blows, when he should be helping to drive the pile and stop that TD?

[MR_FLORIDA]

Urban Meyer.....where are you?

[Setsuna00]

Times like this i miss Spurrier so bad. He'd blow people out no matter when it was.

[ThePlayer]

Defense not impressing.

That can't be right...we have a defensive-minded coach. :huh:

[ceedub]

Play should have been dead and then a lineman pulled him over.

[GatorWon]

Times like this i miss Spurrier so bad. He'd blow people out no matter when it was.

Yah..like Vandy...

[gatorman_07732]

How was that play not ruled dead?

Maybe because our D gave up on the play and didn't finish

[BurnKarma]

Maybe this is why Muschamp doesn't have open practices because he would show how bad this team is.

[Speedofsand]

[NOTgaGATORanymore]

WOW. Refs can't blow the whistle? That's complete BS.

Do you really think it would have mattered?

[dohcvtecpower]

Embarrassing

[jisgator]

Its early but so far I see the exact same problems we saw last year.... A soft football team

[GatorLaw]

I think we got carried away with that 8th ranked defense stuff

[IH8REFS]

Calm down brotatoes, the players will settle and we'll be fine.

[Dreamliner]

I hope for Gray's sake that he has me on ignore.

[bigkid12]

Told you guys this D was soft.

[1996Gator]

There offensive lineman grabbed their back by his shoulder pads and threw him in the end zone. Should have been a penalty

[iam4uf]

How was that play not ruled dead?


Yeah looked like it could've been, a close call usually seems to go with the home team but not today.

[gatordavisl]

Does Muschamp ever have ANY imput on the defense? Hard to believe he has a background in it...Nomination for crappiest post of the thread, which says a ton. Never fear, there will be several others to trump.

[theghost]

Times like this i miss Spurrier so bad. He'd blow people out no matter when it was.

Spurrier can't do crap when his offense is on the sideline.

HELLO!

[mdgator05]

Yah..like Vandy...

Vandy>>>>Bowling Green.

[phillyblount]

BGSU more physical than are. Maybe they do Olympic lifting.

*chortles*

lmao

[ColoGator]

They play in the MAC, and only won 5 games last year.

Exactly...supposedly over-matched...but experience regardless of where u play matters. Experience is more valuable than talent at times.

[MelBeachGator]

Maybe because our D gave up on the play and didn't finish

Oh, I forgot that forward progress needs to be stopped for 10 seconds until the whistle was blown...my bad.

[jisgator]

Another mental error.

[AlfaGator]

Wow, Gilly looked lost.

[tegator80]

Way too early in the game/season, obviously. But it appears as if the Gators are still missing playmakers and leaders, especially on defense. The line of scrimmage is being won by BG.

[tomis_gator]

if this what Florida is going to look like in the second year of the Muschamp experiment, we better cut our losses as soon as possible...what a pathetic showing....and another mistake on special teams...

[tilly]

Are we playing alabama

No. We scored first against Alabama.

[gator34654]

Call me unimpressed and pissed. WM seat has gotten much warmer and it only took 15 minutes. This may very well be his last year if uf has a losing season. This is already embarrasing. I figured our O would take some time and the strength was D, well was i wrong. Quinn, you are a failure.

[MelBeachGator]

No QB established, defense gashed, can't defend a slant....c'mon Muschamp I'm pulling for you...

[Setsuna00]

Embarrassing. I haven't seen any defensive adjustments.

[dohcvtecpower]

It's going to be another long season.

[NOTgaGATORanymore]

Is there any aspect of the team willing to show up?

[orangebluegator]

Poor blocking on the screen again.

[magnafides]

Yeah, there seemed to be a lot of revisionist history in the off-season with regards to our defense. They benefitted from playing some very bad offenses.

[njgator11]

is it legal to to assist a rb by carrying him into the endzone? I have seen guys push from behind, but never a pick-up and carryover over the line.

[gatorman_07732]

Oh, I forgot that forward progress needs to be stopped for 10 seconds until the whistle was blown...my bad.

The D has a responsibility to wrap up and tackle

[GatorAvatar]

I will wait till half time to evaluate this team.

[mdgator05]

This all looks very correctable to me. We just need to get better and better.

[MR_FLORIDA]

we cant even run the ball. lol. come on

[FloridaxGators1]

Where are these holes!!!!!

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S III using Gator Country

[phillyblount]

We're shitty again.

[xenythx]

Same terrible playcalling we saw last year.

[HudsonGator]

Vandy>>>>Bowling Green.

Yep

[ceedub]

is it legal to to assist a rb by carrying him into the endzone? I have seen guys push from behind, but never a pick-up and carryover over the line.

It is against the rules.

[Dayman]

GOt to throw it downfeild

[DSRrg]

I never would hve thought that bowling green looks stronger as a whole than the Gators

[jisgator]

Does Gillisllie even see the holes?

[LeesGator]

BG is beating us along both lines. Not a good start for sure. At some point we need to take a shot down the field to loosen up their defense.

[oakgator]

Call me unimpressed and pissed. WM seat has gotten much warmer and it only took 15 minutes. This may very well be his last year if uf has a losing season. This is already embarrasing. I figured our O would take some time and the strength was D, well was i wrong. Quinn, you are a failure.

Game threads are like a root canal.

[BengermanV]

The whole QB thing is rearing its ugly head right now. So do we pull Driskel now? He got in a sweet 5 plays. This is why you use the offseason to make decisions like this, not in the middle of a game.

[MR_FLORIDA]

if this what Florida is going to look like in the second year of the Muschamp experiment, we better cut our losses as soon as possible...what a pathetic showing....and another mistake on special teams...

I agree. Shouldve been done last year

[Setsuna00]

Yah..like Vandy...

What? You'd rather this type of spectacle? At least we were confident we'd blow the cupcake teams out convincingly. Now I'm not so sure we beat those type teams comfortably.

[NOTgaGATORanymore]

Lol goodbye Driskel. What was that maybe 8 or 10 plays?

[Colossus15]

I want to put Matt jones in the game and see what he's got

[corpgator]

We have almost all upperclassmen for our starters. I'd say we have experience aplenty.

[AH1GatorChomper]

Hard to watch >.<

[orangebluegator]

We are not driving people off the ball on the running plays. We just try to redirect them instead.

[ThePlayer]

I was sure hoping for better than this

And we'll definitely have it...with the next coach.

[gatorman_07732]

Does Gillisllie even see the holes?

Maybe if there was one

[GetEmGators15]

I thought last year was bad but this year is starting worse. I miss the days when we would blow out scrub teams by 40 on sun network. These daus are so different.

[philnotfil]

Maybe this is why Muschamp doesn't have open practices because he would show how bad this team is.

We have been pretty putrid since they started closing practices. Conspiracy Theory time :) They started closing practice because they didn't want us to see how bad they were.

[ColoGator]

They are daring UF to throw down field...throw it forward!!!

[tilly]

We are being beaten in the trenches on both sides of the ball.

[magnafides]

This all looks very correctable to me. We just need to get better and better.

Either you are the Daz or this is a joke post...

[FloridaxGators1]

I want Rainey and demps back

Same terrible playcalling we saw last year.

The season has officially begun.

This is not playcalling. We are a soft football team.

[GatorLaw]

Hard to win games when the offense is on the field for only one possession a quarter

[phatGator]

The D has a responsibility to wrap up and tackle

It looked like they were trying to strip the ball rather than tackle him.

[bluegrassg8r]

I'm not sure I see any difference between this team and last year's effort. Other than a running back that is a bit north and south in a bad way.

[WyoGator]

Muschamp didn't realize Pease saw a succession planning strategy when he came here ;)

[BurnKarma]

When Tennessee beats us by 30 will WM be on notice?

[jisgator]

Maybe if there was one

On his last carry it was 1 step to his right

[FloridaxGators1]

I bet you Texas A&M is licking their chops to play us

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S III using Gator Country

[orangebluegator]

Are we gonna pass the ball vertically?

[gatorfansrule]

Run blocking is not looking good, that's a very bad sign. Offense so far is lacking playmakers.

[AlfaGator]

:nervous smile:Am at a friend's house sitting on a cooler like CW. At least it is filled with cold beer.

[gatordowneast]

Who said Jeremy was scheduling too many cupcakes. We need teams with a "direction" before their name. SW Louisiana or E Montana or C Utah. This Bowling Green team plays big boy football and our 4 and 5 stars can't handle that kind of challeng in their first game.

[kalaniocc]

Trey burton

[BengermanV]

Lets just win the damn game.

[Setsuna00]

Where is Kerwin Bell?

[oakgator]

The snaps are awesome!

[NOTgaGATORanymore]

OMG a first down

[gatordavisl]

if this what Florida is going to look like in the second year of the Muschamp experiment, we better cut our losses as soon as possible.. Yep, let's cut our losses 1 QTR into the season. Brilliant.

Pass protection has been good

Finally big hole for Gilly

[1996Gator]

There is a hole!

[gatordowneast]

Gilly stepping up. Oline coach may have told our boys they are running stadiums tonight if they don't get their rears in gear.

[BengermanV]

Here we go. Liking this!

[WyoGator]

There is a hole!

That's what she said...

[StrangeGator]

Nice way to mix it up and a good run by Patton.

[born2beagator]

I really want to see some kind of receiver emerge

[Colossus15]

Not impressed yet but better

[phatGator]

It's one quarter! No need to jump off a bridge.

[kalaniocc]

Hines

[jisgator]

Much better o line play

[born2beagator]

Is Matt Jones going to play today?

[NOTgaGATORanymore]

Maybe BG defense is gased

[Colossus15]

Hines could be special this year

[gatorman_07732]

Are we waking up?

[Setsuna00]

Dude in my avatar! Hines!

[phillyblount]

patience young gators

[AlfaGator]

Looks like we are not ready to throw the forward pass yet.

[stirfry22]

Looks like the offense is picking up..don't fret

[oakgator]

They are having to stray from vanilla

[StrangeGator]

Hines is in there more than I expected.

[jisgator]

Spoke too soon

[UFNut]

Its always so uplifting in here during first game....sky is falling!!!!!

[orangebluegator]

Flag..... again >.< my eyes

Penalties killing us

[Gatorzz]

5* shariff 5* easley 5* hunter cant stop a bowling green 2nd effort. 5* driskel cant hit a WIDE open WR on 3rd down. Purifoy cant tackle. Gillisslee got othe 2nd level and cant make a BG defender miss. 1on1 tackle. OLine not getting good push on a MAC team Dline.

Real ugly 1st quarter

[orangebluegator]

Not even the lineman. No excuse about being antsy

[phillyblount]

Jordan!!!! gotttdamit!

[GetEmGators15]

The offside calls are getting really old.

[MR_FLORIDA]
