Arm tackling by the D killed us plus Joe throwing behind and over receivers. What really surprised me was the coaching staff showing ZERO confidence in Joe (i.e zero throws downfield), if they didn't let him work through the problem against this team, he definitely ain't gonna do it in the swamp or against SEC competition. If you don't trust him....replace him. You can't win in the SEC playing scared.

Heupel said Nico won't redshirt. Joe needs to run when it is there & it was there.

Early in the game they were going down the field and over the middle, but Joe & receivers weren't connecting. I don't remember any really long attempts though.

Joe missed Bru running free on one long route, missed a nnd where Bru was running free for a medium range TD as well

Heupel's offense goes as the QB goes. If the old Milton keeps showing up our offense is in trouble. The dink and dunk and the 1 yard quick outs isn't going to get it done. This offense and our run game goes if we stretch the field...If not we are pretty much a Poot Gump and Gitmo offense.

Here's hoping we were very vanilla and not showing anything to UF....But we heard that for years and years before the Florida game and it didn't help....I was hoping Nico would get a lot of playing time yesterday.

I agree with this completely. We have to have a deep threat in order to be successful.

It was obvious to me Heupel changed his offensive game plan since they were off. Otherwise, agree!

Somebody is going to jump those quick outs one day and take it to the house if they get too predictable. I assume the QB has a read to make, but it just looks predictable to me.
