How much longer can Billy survive?  UF looked disjointed and without motivation until the 3rd, I really thought they played well and had a chance until that 80 drive that broke them.

 

Hopefully another few years!

The enemy of my enemy is my friend! 👊

I'm nervous about Miami but you guys looked gettable in the middle portion. 13 days!

Not sure if you saw the interview with Mario on Gameday.  He calls it "Rat Poisoning."  As Miami starts to do better and get press he fears it will leak into the locker room and poison the desire to get better and work.  They have a long ways to go and yes they stumbled in the middle of the game.  I give great credit to UF's defense which had only allowed two TDs from all previous opponents.  Also, that single high safety screwed with Beck's progressions and reads...I guarantee that is a focus the next two weeks.  Two things impressed me:  1.  They were able to adjust and respond.  2.  The offensive line is superb.  Mario is an old school lineman who is dedicated to the run and establishing control.  He will continue to lean on opponents and grind them down.  How will FSU respond?

We'll know in about 11 days. I want to get past this potential trap game at Virginia on a Friday night 1st. I wish we had two weeks to prepare for Miami. Strong possibility that Gameday shows up to Tallahassee.

The “Rat Poison” comes from Saban a few years ago. Mario may have been on his staff when he said it.
