A win is a win but it gets real next week

We’ve had a lot of room for error the first 4 weeks of the season, but it’s time to start playing some decent football now. Every game from here on out is a potential loss.
I will always take the win, but so far I hate to say it, the football cat's have not impressed me enough to think we are going into games with UF, UG, UT etc and winning.

The only thing that gives me hope is that somehow or other, our coaches manage to coach down to every team we play. Maybe we actually play decent next week because we’ll take them seriously.
 
Vandy one of the worst SEC teams I have seen in a WHILE. They will not win a game in co ference this year. If our O line doesn't improve we will lose at least 5 up coming games.

Agreed,UK seems to play to their level of competition in a lot of games.I hope next week is better,but Leary is starting to worry me,some of those throws this year you just cant explain.That and the Oline not being able to get a consistent push and establish the running game really concern me heading into the non cupcake season.

You’re right, every game is a potential loss… no doubt. I’m sure there will be some. But… every game is a potential win. Goodness gracious, enjoy the ride. I want to win the SEC and win a national championship. Can’t you just smile for a moment? I wish you happiness Dude. It ain’t all about rainbows and sunshine but dang, have a little fun or quit paying attention.

Do you include at Georgia as a potential win? And if so, plz define potential
 
Florida only beats awful Charlotte 22-7 tonight. They just got 1 td?!?!

But I guess a classic look back/look ahead situation. Emotional win over Knoxville last week. Big game at UK next week. So they slept walked & got a W

I get the feeling next week will only "tell us more" if we lose. Many will see a win as meaningless as UF isn't what they used to be so we will still be the worst 5-0 team in the nation. Some of you need to enjoy winning for winnings sake. It isn't guaranteed for any team including Bama.

It wasn't pretty but we won. That is the exact type of game we were losing last year.... So if we can clean up a few things on the OL and WR's get consistent then we can still have a hell of a season.
 
Yeah, I don't put much stock in Florida's game tonight, tbh they lost to a damn good top 10 Utah team on the road in the mountains in which they played tough and were somewhat competitive with a new qb and clobbered a UT team that crushes us every year. It will be an even match-up and a game that will go down to the wire.

0 percent chance of either of those. Be realistic.
 
What’s the logic if UK beats the gators by 2 or 3 touchdowns?

I’m guessing less than 10 decides the game but if UK runs away with it, then do they suck or we are good?

Florida was not competitive in that game and several of utahs star players didn’t play lol. They started their 4th string walk on
 
Florida didn't look good week one at Utah. They improved a lot week 3 to dominate Knoxville. UK has slowly showed improvement over 4 games but not to what we want.

Interesting matchup. Both the Gators and Wildcats seem to have very strong defenses and shaky offenses. Each teams strengths are going against the others weaknesses. UK has better outside skill talent and explosiveness. Florida much better running the ball.

Maybe the edge is UK now has a great Special teams coordinator, whereas Napier uses Stoops old philosophy of all coaches contributing to that unit but no one in charge.

Very excited for this big game in 6 days!!! The Big Blue Nation needs to rise up & be intense and impact the visitors, even with a noon start!!
 
Mertz won’t be able to hear himself think. The crowd’s gonna force a bunch of false starts, so if we can just clean up our own penalties and win the turnover battle, I think we’ll be fine. It does suck that it’s a noon kick though.

The Gators played inspired football against the Vols (and I loved it), but they really didn’t play that well. I’m confident we can beat them. Besides UGA and Bama I believe we have a realistic shot to beat anybody we play - but we can certainly lose a few of them too.

If we are still reasonably healthy come the Alabama game I like our chances to win.

Everyone put money on Florida’s moneyline. Would like to have SEC officials on our side for once.

Definitely a shame that it’s a noon start.

Yes, some of his passes are suspect, but the receivers have to share the blame as well. He has had some passes thrown right into the numbers and the receivers haven't caught them.

Teamwide, the penalties are absolutely killing us. We gave Vanderbilt 10 points in the last 5 minutes of the first half because of our penalties keeping their drives alive. The personal fouls are uncalled for. That helmet slap on Dane Key wasn't needed and really uncalled for, as a sophomore, he should know better.
