them against two non-SEC teams. They looked decent in those games. Bam! SEC opponent shows up and we are exposed. Those first to games told us nothing. I will be happy if we just end up bowl eligible.

And once again Bray fails against a good defense.

The WR's did a horrible job of route running and were lazy and did not get open late 3rd/4th quarter.

Hunter was getting open all night. Rivera was open a lot as well but IMO Went down field too much.
CP needs more experience. He has a lot of natural skills but needs to learn how to harness them on a consistent basis.
ZRO is inconsistent.

The bigger problems were Bray being blitzed a lot and he having target fixation at times. Also add in poor play calling by Cheney in not having some short routes to isolate receivers on backers, knowing they were going blitz happy.

You bring up a great point. Bray didn't handle the gator pressure very well, but in the past he has thrown under pressure. I think the gator coaches figured out one of two things...either that Bray doesn't handle pressure from certain directions or they figured out where he likes to dump the ball under pressure and took it away. I noticed several times that the gators would rush someone from an unexpected direction and Bray would pretty much look surprised and panic. It's as if when he knows where the pressure is coming from he's okay, but if you can surprise him he will panic. Or so it looked to me...
