I heard the coaches/admin/equipment staff were pissed at the grass situation. Not only did they grow it way longer than usual but during the bye week they apparently deiced to plant new seed that was different from the current stuff and it caused a bunch of issues and certain spots on the field were pretty bad. Obviously teams get to do what they want and it’s not technically against the rules, but guys were slipping and struggling to get good footing throughout warmups and there were some safety concerns. Those who were there in 2021 said it was completely different. Just typical garbage you would expect from that school and I’m sure we will see similar stunts in college station in two weeks.

This is just a free throw fest with how often they are hacking.

7 of the 8 wins this year are by 3+ TD’s and we’ve won something like 20 straight games against unranked opponents and 9 straight road games. The playing up and down to the competition line that people have tried to use for years really hasn’t happened all that often. Hope it continues today.

4 of Missouri's 5 starters played less than 17 minutes and they still won by 72.

Gerry hasn't budged in saying he believes Miami is the only threat for Ffrench. Reiterated his opinion this morning on Coffee&Football. He doesn't seem concerned at all about Ffrench going to Florida.

Pretty long post, but here are the OL grades from the Florida game per Dunlap on OB (tl;dr best-graded game for the OL since he started the deep dig). He also compared the grades of the OL this year to Flood's first year.

Fong and Chad Simmons on Miami and Florida pushing for Jaime Ffrench The recruitment of five-star Mandarin (Fla.) wide receiver Jaime Ffrench has been a long and winding one. At this time a year ago, Ffrench was committed to Alabama under Nick Saban. When he retired, Ffrench backed off that pledge and reopened his recruitment fully. Ohio State quickly became the leader in the clubhouse. But as the spring went along, the Buckeyes faded and LSU, Miami and Texas looked to be the top teams. Eventually he committed to the Longhorns in late August after a drawn out process. But just a few months later, things are getting interesting again. “There’s some buzz that ultimately it’s more likely he stays in the state than signs with Texas,” On3 VP of Recruiting Steve Wiltfong said on Wednesday. “So you’ve got Miami, and you’ve got Florida battling for Ffrench.” Added On3 Director of Recruiting Chad Simmons: “I think there’s some confidence that Texas can keep him in this class. And they’ve been involved with him since the spring, getting his mom and dad on campus — Jamie as well. But Florida is not going away. They’re getting him on campus this weekend for an OV, a full weekend spent in Gainesville. Miami, he has been there numerous times. Kevin Beard and that staff is not going away.” Early playing time, chance to play with DJ Lagway could be key for Ffrench One of the biggest things in Florida’s favor — other than head coach Billy Napier being getting a vote of confidence earlier this month — is that the Gators have a quicker path to the field than the Longhorns. While UF does have sophomore Aidan Mizell and Eugene Wilson III seeing playing time early, there’s still an opportunity for Ffrench to make an immediate impact. The chance to stay closer to home cannot be discounted, and neither can the ability to play with former Five-Star Plus+ quarterback DJ Lagway. The Gators are also trending for four-star quarterback and current Florida State commit Tramell Jones, who is high school teammates with Ffrench at Jacksonville Mandarin. Ffrench was actually in Austin for last weekend’s matchup between the Longhorns and Gators, and although Texas won handily, it didn’t prevent him from setting an official visit with UF. The Hurricanes, meanwhile, haven’t hosted Ffrench since July but boast one of the best offenses — and wide receiver groups — in the country this season.

Hills said this morning that he didn't think that sack was entirely on Campbell. He said Williams didn't handle the stunt well and it basically put Campbell in a really bad spot. It's really interesting to hear Hills go in-depth on OL play. He corrects a lot of common misconceptions a regular fan might have when watching the OL.

I was more surprised by Gerry’s comment because Lamont Rogers is basically an A&M commit at this point and I figured they wouldn’t end up at the same school. But I guess NIL can make a lot of other concerns magically go away.

Gerry made a comment on coffee and football this morning that something in Michael Fasusi’s NIL representation favors Texas A&M.

That was actually a very good end of half play they drew up.

It doesn’t matter if it is Chicago State or Duke, Onyema is going to use every foul given to him.

Even Onyema can score against this team

Opponent sucking aside, Shedrick does look and move much better than last year. We will see if that matters when the games get tough.

Edit: ^

They supposedly were cracking down on those accounts. CDC sent an email out earlier in the year that they had taken back a certain number of season tickets from accounts showing broker tendencies. The early start time didn’t help and Florida sucks, but the weather was perfect and the team only had 2 home games left. Was just a little disappointing to not see more burnt orange in the stands.

It was on the east side. Someone referenced it earlier but the BYU game last year is the only recent game I can remember with that heavy of an away fan presence.

The upper decks legitimately may have been 40%ish away fans for Georgia and Florida. I expected a lot of away fans the next few years as schools travel here for the first time or first time in a long time, but it’s still pretty disappointing to see the number of season ticket holders selling their tickets. A lot of the same seats around me that were occupied by Georgia fans were occupied by Florida fans today.

No way I’m going here yet. They had to have Hunter play off the ball last year for extended stretches it got so bad and that also really hurt Abmas because he had to take over initiating the offense. I would have loved to see Abmas and Johnson get the opportunity to play together.

It’s pretty important that you win these games by 30+. NET rankings factor in efficiency metrics and we got hurt last year by winning games by 20 that we should have won by 30.

Good to see Pope finally get going at the end. Kaluma has quietly looked pretty damn good through 2 games. 15 and 10 tonight.

Hell yeah, love moments like that for Vinson.

Onyema can not play once conference play starts. We will have to go small when Shedrick needs a breather.

He’ll never be more than an average big man but I do see some small positive differences in Shedrick so far this year. Definitely looks healthier.
