This team should be 6-0. How do you explain away the UF game. Luckily we haven't played a really good offense. Not many are on our schedule. If Bama or UGa score about 30, we might be in trouble. The defense has done well. Need the offense to step it up to take some pressure off them. I wouldn't think they would throw Nico in this late in the game. That ship has probably sailed.
Not explaining it away...we should have won and it really should not have been close, but my take on "why we lost":
1. Defense poorly prepared and motivated in first half. Give some credit to the gaytors and even their staff but we were not prepared against them.
2. Offense failed to take advantage of red zone twice. This is very unlike a Heupel offense.
3. The int just killed us. We were only down 6 when that awful pick took place.
4. OL was in shambles with Cooper out and Mincey suspended and this disrupted both the pass and running games.
