The team overall isn’t….but we lack WRs that can consistently catch. Nobody talks about it/ but our Wr recruiting and in season production outside of the scheme is poor.
don’t care what star this guy or that guy…harbor is unique but all other WR are semi-busters.
I do think 44 is a good TE-H back.

there are a number of things that make this team much improved over last season, one is obvious, the OLine is playing at a much high level, our new OL coach has done a fantastic job. Our running game is vastly improved thanks to the new OL and RB coach. I think we have a terrific OC. I know there are those who would argue this OL was mostly from the portal, which is true, but our new OL coach is the one who selected these players and is now coahcing them. No matter what happens with Beamer, these three coaches should be retained!

I still do not understand why a man of Nick Harper's size continues to catch the ball with his body instead of his giant ******* hands. He's been lucky today. He's dropped so many this year because he won't grab the ball with his hands.

It is because he isn't a WR. He is a defensive end.

I don't care if we picked them up at the Taliban K-mart.

They looked like the team their stats said they should be. It was such a head-scratcher that the team leading the SEC in rushing was 0-3 in the conference. Two things seemed very different today: 1) they did good things once they got in the red zone, and 2) they won the turnover battle. The secondary also looked better, but I think some of that was the caliber of QB they faced today.

Bottom line: We really should be 5-1 and we're not as bad as it has felt like the last 3 weeks.

Two weeks in a row that the opposing coach has stated at halftime that South Carolina defensive line was too much to handle. Coach Beamer does get A+ grade how both sides of the line are performing. The ugly problem in which Florida did not how to exploit was South Carolina defensive passing game. I still think a change is needed on coaching on the defensive side in which the philosophy has been not able to stop the offense but hope they only score three instead of six, seven or eight points on the drive.

Our problem is we have too many key players playing out of position. Our QB is a TE or RB. our best WR is really a DE.
