Game Thread: Sugar Bowl: Florida vs. Louisville

[jcabama]

UF LT getting his butt whipped almost every down.

Ole' block from the left, Ole' block from the right! good way to get a QB killed!

Absolutely. Florida is pulling an Alabama 2008. When you play inferior competition, sometimes you don't care enough to show up.

I agree - I was joking - when it isn't your team it borders on hilarious, watching something like this play out. You can tell that the individual Gator players are full of themselves. They have no respect for their opponent, and they are getting their behinds handed to them.

Who says that UL is inferior? I don't think so and they are definitely more disciplined!

I absolutely thought that before the game, heck, even when it was 7-0. But now it's obvious who is more disciplined, better coached. UL easily.

Fundamentals or mental?
They should win 10 out of 10 at the end of the season. After this long lay-off, FL seem to be really rusty.

Well, part of coaching is supposed to be to prepare the players fundamentals so they hold together under mentally-trying situations...

Tipped ball intercepted by UF - life?

It is hard for other teams/fans to understand when they haven't been in that postion lately.

If FL took two steps forward this season, they've taken three backwards tonight.

 

[Rattlehead82]

They are not going to win this game if Driskle doesn't make some plays.

My guess is that means UF won't be winning.

0 for 6 on third downs.:biggrin:

 

[crimsonaudio]

Must score here to have a chance.

I'd say they have to score a TD in this drive to have a chance - not sure the D can keep UL out of the EZ for the entire 4th Q.

 

[BamaGoose]

What worries me is the REF's

I have seen to much of Florida jawing and pushing all year..

you don't care to show up to the sugar bowl? Thats a silly take. Don't be myopic. Louisville is the better football team out there. period.

Yep, and the talent gap between the two teams is absolutely stunning when you look at it on paper...

 

[brutetough]

If they don't score here, they may as well give their starters an early shower. Make sure the water is cold enough so they wake up.

This is the Sugar Bowl.

Wouldn't want them to miss the bus back to the hotel!

I think you can see perfectly the difference in personality between CWM and Coach Smart. Back when CWM was with Coach at LSU - Muschamp got a lot of credit for the defensive performance the blitzing attacking style. The notoriety went to his head thinking he was the smartest guy in the room. He leaves for short stints at AU and TX. But it really looks like he hasnt developed much emotional maturity along the way. I agree with Earle, I dont think he is ready to be a HC at this level.

I think it is pretty telling that Smart has stayed as long as he has with Saban and Muschamp stayed as short as he did with Saban...

Being here at the game, Louisville is playing like they wanted to be here, while UF fans felt like UL was beneath them. Now, the UF fans are silent...

On the interception note, I'm out of here. See those who are making it t Miami soon!

 

[crimsonaudio]

WOW - interception in the EZ returned back to the 22 or so. UL just owning UF.

 

[ValuJet]

Another nail in the coffin.
