I Hope Our Players Watched Tonight

[corpgator]

That is how you show up in big games.

[g8rfan22]

Relax...They have to live with the loss

[GATORAZ]

seems like they did show up for big games this year and yes they are watching

[gatorbogey]

yep
take care of business
have a little fun in the process. play for each other. work hard. don't take a down off. stay focused. prepare. attention to details. never stop looking to improve.

[raycgator]

Such great insight, maybe you should apply to be on the staff.

If we would of played for National Title I'm sure we would of been ready. Just like Lsu,Fsu and USC games.

I guarantee that a lot of them don't get it. They've been watching Alabama take care of business and show them how it's done for years now but most of them still aren't any wiser. I just hope that Muschamp gets it and that his recruits show more discipline and poise than may of Meyer's.

i hate to "go there" but, they did show up in big games.

louisville may be the 6th best opponent they played.

if anything, they need to learn how to show up in non-big games. louisville, missouri, bowling green, la-lafayette.

Seriously? I love how message board posters have such great insight as to what players are thinking & their mindsets. "Meyer's recruits"? My brother is one of those renegade outlaws...

Except we didn't have a big game

Our issue is offense, and mainly QB play. It's that simple. The only real difference between Bama and UF is at QB. Obviously they are better at some other positions too, but so are we. Comes down to a massive discrepancy at QB. Jeff fell way behind his class, but he's still young. He has talent. The truth is he's our guy and we have to pray he figures it out.

If Jeff figures it out we have a good chance at running the regular season undefeated. Maybe a game or two as a coin flip.

If he plays like this we probably get beat soundly in a game with 3 or 4 more as a coin flip.

I'm not in their heads but I do watch them on the field and they don't get it.

[td21]

SHould show them how close they are.... Points out they have to work harder everyday. If they take a single day off, someone else will out work them. Go gators

[g8rfan22]

I hated to see that display of thuggery out there tonight. AJ yelling at his center...His center pushing him. Is that what our Gators need to be watching. Poor JD is going to get jacked up next year!

That monster offensive line, two NFL running backs and a Wide receiver that can get deep and doesn't have the dropsies, I would include them as differences as well.
