No pick six on the opening series. Seems like a win.

Not a fan of the play calls on the first drive

3&5 looked like they were all out routes from what I could tell.  Looked like there was nothing there and he threw it where only his guy could possibly catch it, so a plus.  Gator rcvrs are currently open at will.  More ugh.

Post by: murfvol on December 05, 2020, 09:48:47 EST
Yep. First down was probably the easiest down to throw. Probably could have run on third down too. Oh well.

Hated giving up 3rd and 7, but nice job to hold UF to a field goal.

Secondary really hampered by lack of push up front.

Taylor covered well when he was in the dime
Burrell (I think) was burned over the middle

And the ref 45 yards of the ball called it

BDV's question makes me sad. Is lack of push by the d front just a talent issue?


Title: Re: Game Thread: Florida
Post by: PirateVOL on December 05, 2020, 10:13:28 EST
Another thing that hasn’t improved is that our gunner coverage
It has SUCKED all year
They couldn’t blocks their shadow!

a combo of pressure & coverage I would say.  Lucky for the Defense that our Offense sucks or more opponents would go for it on 4th down  :dielaughing:

We don't need to play the 2nd half do we? Can we just take our ball and leave? Good drive.

NTW , maybe the first time all year we had both TBs in the game

That drive brought a tear to my eyes.  Honestly.  We may end up getting "blowed" out, but that one drive will ease the pain.

Post by: PirateVOL on December 05, 2020, 10:39:32 EST
We got caught on 2 blitz’s that drive

Once, we blitzed Burrell and Henry T was slow getting over to cover


In the stadium real time it seemed not PI on Burrell

Not a bad call and it looked like it was an option fake/kick.  Seemed well executed.  Gotta catch that.

Why did Bailey go out for the play?
Equipment issue?

Also, couple of bad passes

Looks like the line played matador on the last play

Bailey is having trouble dialing in the long ball for sure.  Don't know why he was pulled out.  I wondered if Coach wanted a word with him.  I did not notice any other issues.

Our LBs can’t cover shizzle
They isolated Henry T on a WR


Title: Re: Game Thread: Florida
Post by: Coupe De VOL on December 05, 2020, 11:08:15 EST
Trask only gets better in the second half and we all know how well our D plays the final two quarters.  Our coverage out there just sucks.  WHo is the guy that coaches these players???  At least they are playing with some heart.  It's good to see the O play a little better.


Title: Re: Game Thread: Florida

Just to put things in some perspective, here are some halftime/final scores of some recent UF games:

UK - 14-10; 34-10
Vandy - 17-10; 38-17
Mizzou - 20-7; 41-17


Title: Re: Game Thread: Florida
Post by: PirateVOL on December 05, 2020, 11:20:05 EST
Believe or not but the defense has played better tonight
Faint praise to be ire
But if we played this well in the last game we would have won


Title: Re: Game Thread: Florida

I agree we have played better.  Still not great or up to potential.  It still remains to be seen if this squad can put together a reasonable 2nd half.  With Bailey leading them, I think morale will be better.  But we still have that same ol' staff doing or not doing the needed adjustments.

Pruitt and Ansley have been gambling a lot on defense, with some success
Our LB are the week link today
Most of the big plays have been associated with them

We got lucky on one play
The motioned a WR left to right and he cut up field right at 2 defenders about 15 yards downfield, who watched him run right by. If Trask throws it to mom it’s a TD

Welcome to the Papa John's Pick Six Quarter of the game.  If the Vols throw a pick six in the 3rd quarter, Knoxville area Vol fans get to Pick Six free pizzas the following day.  Limit one per household.  Cannot combine with other offers.

down 3 scores - I dont agree with the onsides kick.  But you go down swinging I guess.  Not a bad msg to send.  Shrout really forced it on the 2 pt try, shoulda checked down to someone else.

My only aside is if Shroud looks better than JG it is a massive indictment of the coaches. You can argue HB hasn't had practice reps. Not so with Shrout.
