"quick observations from the game" |
![]() ![]() ![]() quick observations Not to knock on Treon because it was one of his better games of the year and he made a lot of great plays in the first half, but I wanted to point out that the reason he got a lot of those plays in the first half was from broken plays and busted coverages. Once Michigan adjusted to challenge receivers, especially the dump off players, and respected the running abilities of our QB, the Florida offense was kept in check as we've become use to. A lot of people angry that Harbaugh took his first-year team and blew us out. I checked out their personnel after the game to see if I could find any differences. Here is one: Michigan Contrast this with Florida today, who started 3 true freshmen on the offensive line and has 20 players overall in their two-deep with 2 years or less of collegiate experience. This is by no means an excuse for what happened out there, but the teams were not "equally" stacked with maturity and experience coming into 2015 or even the bowl game. Some reason concerns for me. The last 3 games have not just been loses, they've been blowout loses. In fact, the two games prior to those blowouts were real dog fights with teams that have much bigger holes than Florida. While I understand this being a transition year, we have actually played worse as the year went on. That's not a trademark of a good coaching staff. I mean, sure, "we" have our excuses, but on paper, a team going on an 0-3 losing streak of blowouts typically means the staff is not a good staff. That is definitely a redflag. Watching VHIII this year has been a tremendous disappointment. He has not only given up the big plays at the worst time this year, he does not seem to have much fight in him as a player. As an aside, I was so angry about Michigan running for chunks against us, that I focused all my attention on Hargreaves hoping for a big play. On the touchdown he gets beat on, he had been working on that WR before was actually out of doing on okay job, looking a tad lethargic though, but not only did he get burned on the play, after he got burned, he gave up completely. He jogged after a clearly-slower receiver going only about half speed, apparently expecting the QB would not see a WR who was open by 10 yards?? It was the moment I realized, he was just phoning this game in. And likely the coaches saw that too. He did not appear in the game until the 3rd quarter, returning a kick, and then getting blown up, again, by a receiver who ran a straight route with no fakes or tricks. It was the kind of coverage I've seen from him the entire year, "OK", but not "special". He doesn't take the extra effort at the end to break it up or go for the ball. I have thought about it and I think Florida has been Charlie Brown since we won our last NC. We not only have our disappointments, but the disappointments seem like soap operas. It just does not feel fair to the fans. Urban Meyer quits the team, makes national news, then comes back, then "takes a hands off approach" to coaching his final season before leaving to "spent more time with his family", then a year later, takes over Ohio State. To win a national championship? That's weird. It's just weird, okay. That kind of stuff does not happen other places. MrsChamp leads Florida to a 11-win season. We finally found a good coach, but not so fast. The next season, he goes on a seven-game losing streak including a loss to a Division II team. That stuff does not happen to other programs; not that dramatic a shift of fates. No. It's weird. He gets fired, then we still pay him millions of dollars? That's a talking point? On how our program is financially crippled because our AD did not write up a standard contract every other school does? And we're the laughing stock as a result? Where else does that happen? Which programs. Where? Grier gets busted for PEDs? PEDs? In the past 20+ seasons I have not heard of a single player ever being busted for PEDs, no where. At Florida, it happens after a 6-0 start. It feels unfair. It feels like we are given hope, we are given something positive, then it just ends in a train wreck. Three blowouts to end the year? We are Charlie F&*($ing Brown. And we have been Charlie Brown since 2008. |
