Very difficult ask, but then there was 2013...

[Vandy_Law07]

Well… LOVE our uniforms at least. Best combo since the xCJF era (IMHO). Very sharp.

PS Florida uniforms very nice too.

First play is a good pass - a sure thing - to Cam Johnson. 8 yards. Good call.

Then run right up the middle for -1. And a throw away from the pocket.

Do we not know how to run anything but up the middle?

We need two yards and have two plays to do it. Run - but NOT always up the middle. Man, I am tired of seeing the same lack of any creativity. Keeping the ball for a big firstdown would have been nice - right after the coach is quoted as saying the start was critical.

Seals had Pierce open for the first down on 3rd and 2. He doesn't seem to be looking for his check down receiver

[roanoke]

We follow the self-inflicted three and out by letting them score very quickly.

The td will be called back on replay. But that seems like a formality.

There must an unknown codicil that requires Vandy OC’s to run the ball repeatedly up the middle…

I was saying "please don't run up the middle" before that play

He hasn't all season. It's a huge issue.

[AuricGoldfinger]

I don't understand our offensive philosophy at all.

And that first Florida drive is exhibit A for our lack of talent on defense.

[roanoke]

Deja vu. But Griffin gets the first down with individual effort on third down. Up the middle twice after gaining seven on first down.

The first down calls have been good. I guess that's something.

[Go Vandy!]

4 yard punt! 4 yard punt!

[kay1092]

A dropped 3rd down conversion from arguably our best WR. and then a shanked punt. Why are we so bad starting every game...

[roanoke]

My goodness. Shephard drops a first down. Smith shanks a punt less than ten yards.

Seals third down pass was a laser. Nice aggressive throw.

Truth - Florida is giving us more cushion than I expected. We have some opportunities on the quick throw scheme. Again, after a six yard throw on first. We had to waste one play up the middle. I'll shut up about it if we would just give the ball once to the jet sweep decoy. Even if he gets stopped it will loosen the middle up a little.

We are getting less than one yard per run up the middle but it is all we are willing to do.

[secchamp]

Can't afford to be dropping first downs! I will say the passing game calls have been better

Harder question to answer than "the meaning of life ?"

[kay1092]

We also kept our streak alive of letting up a TD on the opponent's first possession. We literally spot teams 2 TDs in the first 2 drives every game

[EagleDore]

It is not that our D is outmanned, we just can't keep coverage & have busted assignments. Wide open Gators all the time.

[OldDude]

We are so SLOW ! I truly feel for CCL, I can't see a single position except perhaps receiver where we are remotely close to SEC talent.
