1/2/13 FINAL - SUGAR BOWL #3 Florida Gators 23 vs. Louisville Cardinals 33

[StrangeGator]

Bad throw. Poor choice on the receivers part tipping the ball upwards.

[Setsuna00]

Lord in heaven.....now we'll be scared to throw. Le sigh.

[scgator_8586]

Gotta ram it down their throats now. Get the momentum back.

[tilly]

Do they have choice after Louisville defers?

Of course. You can choose to take direction and kick. Ive seen it done.

...and I wish we had!

[orangebluegator]

Now they know we are scared to throw. Once bitten twice shy.

[socraticsilence]

Dem nfl hands

Please tell me you're not calling out the wr, that pass was a good 2 feet off target.

[ncorangeblue]

Cards came to play!

[StrangeGator]

Better to sustain a bullet wound in the foot early on that late in the game.

[DSRrg]

I can't wait for our defense to get out there!

[Setsuna00]

Bad throw. Poor choice on the receivers part tipping the ball upwards.

Yep might as well not make any effort for the ball at all. I mean it's not a receivers first instinct to try and make a play on the ball. Put the blame fully where it belongs please.

[GunGator]

Gators got smacked in the mouth a bit. Defense will step up now.

[corpgator]

Wow, lot more UL fans there than UF.

[DSRrg]

Threw a rope to Gilly. Ease up a bit... Geez

[Dayman]

damn we look nervous on O

[co_gator89]

Louisville looks fired up. We don't.

[Dreamliner]

Louisville obviously didn't get the memo that they're big underdogs. They're taking it to us.

[orangebluegator]

Sort of like a certain MNC game one time before as I recall.

That's why it's one of the worst....not the worst. And from scrimmage...not from kickoff.

However, the second drive isn't much better.

[unfgator]

Threw a rope to Gilly. Ease up a bit... Geez

Seriously

[StrangeGator]

Got 'em right where we want 'em. Punting from the forty. That's been the Gators bread and butter this year.

[The_Graygator]

Well, looks like we're coming in pretty tight so far. Can;t believe we've allowed a pass to be picked off and then missed another for a first down.

Lets hunker in until we decide to wake up I suppose.

[socraticsilence]

Not good, we can't let the Cards think they can win.

[born2beagator]

ummmm? are we at the game yet?

[GunGator]

God damn

[DSRrg]

Bostic just knocked bridge water into tomorrow

[born2beagator]

Wow. We are getting our butts handed to us already

[mac4lyfe]

Dam, great pass by Bridgewater. WR out of bounds but of course a roughing the passer. BS

[masterswordmaster]

Do we blame Driskel for making a bad throw or Debose for running a bad route on that one? lol

[trufloridagator]

Lol

That is bullshit. This is football dammit.

[GunGator]

That's BS, flag just because the helmet comes off?

[flwgator2]

seen that coming

[mac4lyfe]

Are you kidding me? That was a good hit on Bridgewater.

[The_Graygator]

Dude, God's last name aint d*mn.

[Noahtogo24]

Wow. We are getting our butts handed to us already

Oh c'mon, just freaking bad luck on the first play.

Welcome to the SEC Bridgewater.

[DSRrg]

Love our defense

[orangebluegator]

Football is now a little girl's game. Both college and NFL. Did Bostic's helmet touch? Looks like it...but should that always be a unsportsman like penalty? No way. Play some football. You're wearing helmets and pads.

We come out slinging it? Really? We made our money running the football and with great defense....let's stick to that for tonight.

[mac4lyfe]

I'm hating this start right now... we need a turnover.

[kalaniocc]

Cmon gators

[born2beagator]

Giving Louisville all the confidence they could ever want right to start the game. We need a TO BAD

[masterswordmaster]

Elam!!!!

[Setsuna00]

Whoa....that should have been 15

[philnotfil]

Hammered by Elam.

[GunGator]

complete?!!?!?!

[co_gator89]

Hit the ground.

[born2beagator]

That is not a catch

[tilly]

Thats so incomplete.

[GatorWon]

Hit the ground

[GunGator]

that touched

[flwgator2]

Incomplete pass

[WillyG8r]

We hit hard, but they are making the plays....

[StrangeGator]

That play won't stand.

[FloridaxGators1]

No catch...

Nah. Coming back.

[Noahtogo24]

Lucky we didn't get flag on that hit.

[Setsuna00]

Elam getting ready for the NFL since that player would still be able to advance. We'll miss you buddy!

[DSRrg]

Hit the ground. No doubt about it

[flwgator2]

Remember this is the Big 10 refs

[ThePlayer]

Why does Louisville's offense look better than ours?

[ennis07]

Hopefully these big 10 zebras get it right

[masterswordmaster]

Is the website acting weird for anyone else? It keeps reloading and sending me to the homepage.

[co_gator89]

That was helmet to helmet but the refs owe us one after that bullshit call on Bostic.

[MelBeachGator]

Geez, EVERYTHING can be considered freaking helmet to helmet...

[Bazza]

Go Gators! :yes::laugh::zombie:

[Matthanuf06]

We hit hard, but they are making the plays....

Bridgewater made a pass that we haven't seen since Chris Leak was here, maybe even Rex.

[Dayman]

That was helmet to helmet but the refs owe us one after that bullshit call on Bostic.

LOL I love the Gators but Bostic's hit was textbook roughing

[GatorAvatar]

Is the website acting weird for anyone else? It keeps reloading and sending me to the homepage.

Same thing on my phone app

[The_Graygator]

Just need to weather the early storm guys.

Louisville is bringing it all early and hoping to get it going, but we just need to weather it for a short while and then take it over.

[scgator_8586]

We need to step it up and not let this one be close.

[socalg8r]

Of course. You can choose to take direction and kick. Ive seen it done.

...and I wish we had!

Thanks for the info.

Me too!

[DSRrg]

Why does Louisville's offense look better than ours?

Do you want an honest answer?

[IH8REFS]

Geez, EVERYTHING can be considered freaking helmet to helmet...

This. It's like the defensive player isn't allowed to have a head. I don't understand where they want it to go when making a hit.

[GatorAvatar]

Why does Louisville's offense look better than ours?

Too early to panic.

[Matthanuf06]

Why does Louisville's offense look better than ours?

Because their QB can throw about 100x better than ours. Our D will win us the game though

[jcp]

It's OK... We just got to get it going.

Anyone who's watched us this season knows. :)

[ennis07]

Good

[wllmferg]

We'll be fine although I hate that too many games start like this. Louisville doesn't have the size or depth to take the physical pounding they've already begun to receive for 4 quarters.

[ThePlayer]

Justice prevails.

[StrangeGator]

Why does Louisville's offense look better than ours?

Do they really? They have less than zero yards rushing.

[GunGator]

Man, come on guys

[trufloridagator]

Wtf

[Setsuna00]

No QB spy? Typical Quinn defense.

[GunGator]

We do look sluggish early, have to shake out these cobwebs.

[mac4lyfe]

Get them off the damn field. Let's go defense. Man up.

[Matthanuf06]

Just need to weather the early storm guys.

Louisville is bringing it all early and hoping to get it going, but we just need to weather it for a short while and then take it over.

What early storm? Driskel gave them a gift pick 6 and Bridgewater made a good pass that he's going to do most of the game. Our O just needs to step up

[FloridaxGators1]

Damn....

[co_gator89]

If they're going to get every 3rd down this is going to be a long night.

[born2beagator]

We are being schooled by a big east team. What is this

[ThePlayer]

Did we employ the Zook prevent on that 3rd down?

[lean_gator]

Can our guys just stop talking for once and just PLAY!!??

[Dayman]

if we don't get some pass rush we will lose to freaking Louisville

[tilly]

LOL...When was the last time we played in a dome and benefited from a holding call?

[Dreamliner]

Gators got smacked in the mouth a bit. Defense will step up now.

louisville receivers are wide open.

[StrangeGator]

Field goal blocking range.

[GatorAvatar]

Bridgewater is very good. He reads defenses.

[DSRrg]

No pass rush at all

[orangebluegator]

How do we let them convert when it was 2 and 17?

[The_Graygator]

What early storm? Driskel gave them a gift pick 6 and Bridgewater made a good pass that he's going to do most of the game. Our O just needs to step up

This current offensive drive they're on.

Just weather it and try to get them off the field without them doing any serious damage with it.

[Gator4Christ]

Did our D not practice the last month?

[flwgator2]

Louisville just wants it more.

[magnafides]

Why is their OL dominating our line?

[GunGator]

TD, shit

[ThePlayer]

Looks like the old Miami Hurricanes have a new address.

[Setsuna00]

WTF Quinn.....unforgivable.

[orangebluegator]

So many open receivers.

[GunGator]

Didn't see this kind of start happening....

[DSRrg]

Wow so this is a game where our offense actually has to step up.

[FloridaxGators1]

Wow..... Just... Wow....

[born2beagator]

We are screwed

[mac4lyfe]

Worst start to a bowl game in Gator history... Awful.

[magnafides]

Oh, it's because they're holding like crazy.

[bposs]

Game over like I said earlier in the week.....I hate these lose-lose games.

[tilly]

Hold? Anyone?

[llm85]

Our defense is playing a game differently that what's happening on the field.

[Gator40]

Uh, why are we rushing only 4 on 3rd down over and over? He's just sitting there picking us apart.

[Noahtogo24]

Okay now it's time to panic a little.....

[Dayman]

Guy has all day to sit in the pocket disastrous start on both sides of the ball

[StrangeGator]

What was the deal with Bridgewater's recruitment? All I remember is that people said to forget about him because he was all UGA.

[GatorStang]

This is ridiculous

[ThePlayer]

It's officially embarrassing.

[Shadowjag]

Is the website acting weird for anyone else? It keeps reloading and sending me to the homepage.

Yes. Wondering if the site has been infected or my computer.:huh:

[born2beagator]

I really don't get it. Where is our team?

[GunGator]

Cause a fumble!!!!

[Dreamliner]

Gators need to nut-up now or they're going to get blown out by a Big East team.

[ih8danoles]

I hate to be that guy this early in the game but it looks to me like we are being held on every single snap.

[Setsuna00]

TD, his knee never touched the ground.

[Gator4Christ]

Looks like some guys have already checked out

[AH1GatorChomper]

Am i the only one that saw a hold? I could just be seeing things.. i am drinking.

[DuPontGator]

Awful

[tilly]

TD, shit

Dude. Do you curse in every post?

[VolsFan07]

Wow. UL coming out swinging.

[raycgator]

lame start

[citygator]

Man up, boys!

[GATORAZ]

I will be back at the end of the game when we have won people always freak out too early

[philnotfil]

Board meltdown in 3 ... 2 ... 1 ...

[StrangeGator]

I know we're good at adjusting at halftime, but we haven't been down by two TDs in the first quarter all year.

[born2beagator]

I will be back at the end of the game when we have won people always freak out too early

14-0 start to a big east team is reason to freak out.

[Setsuna00]

Got embarrassed twice. Awesome. Yes bro. u-n-f-o-r-g-i-v-a-b-l-e.

[SJB612]

Their OL is getting away with a ton of holding. We are going to have to bring some blitzes to get some pressure. This is just like nearly every start we have had this year except South Carolina. Not too worried, as I think the OL of Louisville will not hold up throughout the game, but dang, we need some offense.

[orangebluegator]

Dominated...I expected much better from our D Line.

Looks like some of them are already headed to the NFL and not playing today.

[ThePlayer]

Is this why our fans stayed home?

[DuPontGator]

Lol owned on both sides.

[co_gator89]

Why do our players look bored?

[ih8danoles]

i'm still not concerned that we'll lose (yet), team will settle down and take control. I'd bet we'll see more than 4 guys rushing the passer from now on when it's 3rd and long

[kalaniocc]

What the fugg

[klgator]

I've been fooled by the Gators all year. Instead of getting all riled up, I'm just going to sit back and wait for the Gators to take over the game.

[GatorLaw]

I know we're a 2nd half team but if this keeps up we're going to be so far behind it won't matter. Offense needs to get their heads straight and get moving. We don't need to hand them the ball real again very soon.

[Dreamliner]

The thing that has me worried is that Bridgewater looks like the real deal and Louisville is just taking what they want.

[DSRrg]

Dude. Do you curse in every post?

Lol

[StrangeGator]

UF is not a quick scoring team. When's the last time we scored three TDs in the first half? Maybe Kentucky?

[DuPontGator]

We are Clemson last year... Long night :(

[GatorAvatar]

It's all about having a passing game that is crucial. They have a great passing attack and we don't have a great pass rush. We need a quick score or it will be a long night.

[RealGatorFan]

This is a lose-lose game. We can't win if the players aren't interested. How can you get excited playing Louisville?

[tommyuf21]

I didn't expect 0-14, but I wasn't counting on a fast start either. Lots of time left.

[VolsFan07]

Why do our players look bored?

I wouldn't say that. I've seems some big hits from the Gator D so far.

[GunGator]

Defense had a lot of chances to stop that drive and one serious bs flag to keep it going for Louisville.

The real killer is that pick 6, we will adjust and take charge!

[NOTgaGATORanymore]

Is this why our fans stayed home?

At this point I'm glad I stayed home. This is painful enough to watch on tv

[trufloridagator]

Got embarrassed twice. Awesome. Yes bro. u-n-f-o-r-g-i-v-a-b-l-e.

No freaking out, we'll adjust and improve. But if anyone told me the score would be 14-0 after seven minutes of the first quarter I'd have said "great, we're really playing well."

[ThePlayer]

14-0 start to a big east team is reason to freak out.

Seriously....is Tony Sporano calling our plays now? :huh:

[Matthanuf06]

I think the D will be fine. We will give up in the low to mid 20s, which won't be bad given the gift. The issue is our offense and total lack of a passing game. Can we score potentially 28+? No idea. And 28 should be cake vs Louisville, but we can't pass consistently

[GatorWon]

If they called holding, the refs would have had to flag UL on just about every one of their offensive plays.


Its going to be a long night if we can't rush the passer fairly since he has the speed to run.

[FrolfGator]

LSU fans breathing a sigh of relief that they won't be the biggest conference embarrassment of the year.

[AH1GatorChomper]

Hope that we make some adjustments. Im certian we will.. but hopefully the refs don't exactly help Lousiville drive the ball also.. that Jon Bostic hit on Bridgewater was questionable.. imo.

[Dayman]

This is a lose-lose game. We can't win if the players aren't interested. How can you get excited playing Louisville?

Well maybe now the prospect of being beheaded by louisville will get them up

[GatorByte]

Their tackles are getting away with holds. That is why this happening.

[TnCamoGator]

My blood pressure is super high and it's still the first quarter

[trufloridagator]

I wouldn't say that. I've seems some big hits from the Gator D so far.

Exactly. Lack of a passing game is a killer.

Here is the silver lining!

We have the greatest motivational coach in the country if not ever! Boom will without a doubt light a fire so hot under everyone's ass, the coaches will stand up a little straighter. We got this boys...

I expect us to win, and play well throughout. I'm not freaking out as I think we will win. Just annoys most of us when they play like this.

Picked a terrible time to slack off on drinking.

[G8RNTN]

Seriously....is Tony Sporano calling our plays now? :huh:

So it's Pease fault Driskel through behind the wr??? and a dropped pass for a first down??? Wow

[BengermanV]

Have to move the ball here. Another three and out would be killer.

[born2beagator]

The panicking in this thread is amusing.

There is good reason for panic right now with our offense already down 14-0

[StrangeGator]

Gotta get on the board once and stop the bleeding. Then see what we can do in the second half. I don't expect to see the kind of offensive play calling it will take to get back in this quickly. It will take some mistakes on Louisville's part, and or some breakaway running by Mike G. or one of our receivers.

[ThePlayer]

Here is the silver lining!

We have the greatest motivational coach in the country if not ever! Boom will without a doubt light a fire so hot under everyone's ass, the coaches will stand up a little straighter. We got this boys...

That Louisville D looks pretty efficient too.
Could have sworn I've seen it before.

Hopefully they pull their heads out of their asses and act like they care to be at the game!

UF doesn't panic, same words I said in the 3rd qt vs FsU

[VolsFan07]

Seems like they think you win the game just by going for the big hit.
I agree, But that is far from asleep.

[RealGatorFan]

We can't pass and Louisville knows that. All they have to do is stop the run and they own us. Remember, Strong was a damn fine DC.

[tilly]

Wow. UL coming out swinging.
By the way Volsfan, since your here...What time is the Tennessee Bowl game? :joecool:

Every significant victory this season has been aided by turnovers or huge special teams plays.

We've beaten better teams than Louisville without a high powered passing attack.

[tdgator]

Big possession for the offense right here.

[bposs]

Their tackles are getting away with holds. That is why this happening.

Are we really going to blame the refs? Come on man, we should never be down this much to this team. You have show up to play the game, and so far we have not.

[trufloridagator]

We are a good team.

But not a great team.

That's what is obvious.

This. They have players and are calling a nothing to lose game unlike NIU last night. They also luckboxed the pick 6 and got tons of momentum. I bet its still 0-0 without the pick 6

Imposing our will, this will get the D pumped if we score here.

Stay in bounds Burton...

[OB1]

JFC if that corner was worth his salt it would've been pick 6 #2.

If he was a little faster and his arms were a foot or so longer he may have got to catch the ball, but not close to a pick six!

Due to a shortage of coal, Santa will be giving all the bad boys and girls FSU tee shirts instead!
