The Official Gator vs UK Game Thread

Blue seats doing the heavy lifting in blue white stadium.
30 seconds before halftime, I know. Not a judgements. Just thought it funny.
 
Why is the passing game so terrible? How can we continue to recruit guys to this offense? Don't see it happening much longer.
 
2 TOs & starting at the 35 with :35 & we make zero effort to get in FG range. I’ll never understand. I knew the half would end this way as soon as McClain got the carry on 1st down of the last drive. GOTTA score to open the 2nd half.

Successful programs at least try to throw a safe pass there to get into range. I mean hell you can throw it deep and it's as good as a punt if they intercept it.
 
Leary 4-12 with 36 yards and we up 23-7. Left 5 pts out there hope that doesn't come back to haunt the CATS
 
AT THE HALF

Cats- 23
Gats- 7

Heck of a first half for the Cats until that last 3 minutes.

Grades so far:

Defense: A
Special Teams: A-
Offense: C+ (Leary: C-, Recs: C+, Davis: A freaking Plus)
Coaching: A-

Offense minus Davis has been meh. Davis has been phenomenal.

Stoops made a bad move there. This game isn’t over and 35 sec in cfb is a lot of time especially after the penalty. It was a really bad decision.

Man Florida scores a single touchdown to end the half, they're down by 16, and people on this board are acting like we're the ones getting it handed to us.
Nobody is acting like that. We're just commenting how disappointing that is. And it was. Part of offensive drives is to keep the other offense off the field. That last drive was pure hot garbage. No if and's or buts. You can't play stall ball in the SEC. Luckily we get the ball back after the half. We need to come out and immediately score.
 
True. But, Steve Sax was the originator of forgetting how to throw to first from 2B.
I believe it’s called the “yips”.

Happened to Mark Wohlers too.

Obviously, I’m exaggerating a little bit, but Leary does not put it right where the ball needs to be very often. And unfortunately, when he does, the receivers drop it.

See? Overly conservative drive is gonna lead to a UF TD.

Frustrating. Still happy overall but you can't have letdowns like this.
Respectfully Disagree. Had we not thrown the ball at all and just ran it with intention of milking clock we give them the ball with a minute left tops….if not pick up a first down bc Davis has been unstoppable. The incompletions left too much time

Wat?

Davis didn't have a single touch on that drive. That's what we all were griping about!
 
According to some on this thread Stoops is a bad fan and crying for pointing that out.
"Old Kentucky" mentality. "We're up 16! We're smacking Florida! The game is over!"

Wrong. Have to keep pushing. Need to come out after the half and put together a long, sustained drive with points. Can't afford to give UF back to back shots at a score.

Because we know once Stoops starts changing things up that are working, the whole game plan goes to hell. The defense likely isn't going to be able to hold them the rest of the game without a score. Things are going to get interesting if we don't get any points to start the half. Could be a one score game in a hurry.
 
Has Stoops ever been taller than some one next to him? This includes female sideline reporters.

Only complaint so far.
I was in a store the other day and they had one of those life size cardboard of Stoops. He’s a little fella.

Literally nobody here thinks the game is over at the half.
 
I understand the frustration at the late score, but hard to not be upbeat about that half of football.
 
Lets Go Cats.
Hammer Those Gators!

Overy conservative play calling. Taking out Davis. You didn't have to score there, but you have to keep the ball out of UF's hands. And I was proven right with that UF score.

Now, UF has some mo going into the half.
Yeah I could envision this game tightening. Now Florida knows they can move the ball.

Wish I had you as a teacher. If that half isn’t a failing grade for Leary then nothing ever will be.
