Full Transcript for Gators... There's an UNCOMFORTABLE TRUTH We Need to Discuss... | UF Football

00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:47.560 best examples came on a Florida perimeter screen. Florida motions 34 00:01:47.659 --> 00:01:50.489 Eric Singleton across the formation, trying to create an advantage 35 00:01:50.530 --> 00:01:53.000 on the outside. The idea is simple. Get your playmaker 36 00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:54.959 the football in space. Get blockers in front of him 37 00:01:55.040 --> 00:01:57.980 and make a defender miss. But Georgia's defender reads it 38 00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:01.700 almost immediately. He triggers downhill before Florida can get its 39 00:02:01.739 --> 00:02:04.959 blocking established, gets into the play, and then makes a 40 00:02:04.980 --> 00:02:07.219 tackle for a loss. So it's second and 12 now. 41 00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:09.780 And Brooks makes a point that I think Florida fans 42 00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:12.879 need to understand. When you build an offense around screens, 43 00:02:13.099 --> 00:02:16.370 horizontal runs, and getting guys the football in space, those 44 00:02:16.449 --> 00:02:20.129 plays have to create positive yardage. They cannot consistently put 45 00:02:20.169 --> 00:02:22.689 you behind the chains because once Florida found itself in 46 00:02:22.729 --> 00:02:25.550 its second and long or a third and long situation, 47 00:02:25.610 --> 00:02:28.879 Georgia now has a massive advantage. And this wasn't an 48 00:02:28.979 --> 00:02:32.699 isolated play. Brooks showed another screen where Georgia's defenders recognized 49 00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:35.539 the underneath route, communicated what he was seeing, and then 50 00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:40.099 adjusted his positioning and made the tackle. That's preparation. That's 51 00:02:40.199 --> 00:02:42.969 film study. That's understanding what your opponent likes to do 52 00:02:43.030 --> 00:02:45.669 in specific situations. And that's where I have a question 53 00:02:45.710 --> 00:02:49.349 for Buster Faulkner. Was Florida doing enough to challenge what 54 00:02:49.389 --> 00:02:53.009 Georgia thought it knew? Because Georgia looked incredibly comfortable defending 55 00:02:53.060 --> 00:02:55.620 this offense, and I don't think that this is something 56 00:02:55.639 --> 00:03:00.099 that we should simply dismiss as a talent advantage. Georgia 57 00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:04.240 didn't respect Florida's run game, and that's something I find 58 00:03:04.300 --> 00:03:08.669 particularly troubling. Brooks pointed out that a Georgia defender, a 59 00:03:08.710 --> 00:03:12.050 defensive alignment where the Bulldogs essentially had four down linemen 60 00:03:12.129 --> 00:03:15.560 and a linebacker positioned outside the traditional box, Both safeties 61 00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:17.819 were reading the run, but weren't necessarily crowding the line 62 00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:21.580 of scrimmage. And his interpretation was pretty straightforward. Georgia had 63 00:03:21.620 --> 00:03:24.259 very little concern about Florida being able to consistently run 64 00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:27.219 the ball vertically. Think about what that means. Florida has 65 00:03:27.259 --> 00:03:29.159 Jaden Baugh, one of the most talented running backs in 66 00:03:29.180 --> 00:03:31.990 the SEC. Florida has an offensive coordinator who wants to 67 00:03:32.030 --> 00:03:35.189 establish the run, create conflicts for defenders, and use the 68 00:03:35.210 --> 00:03:37.789 run game to set up play action. But Georgia was 69 00:03:37.849 --> 00:03:41.319 essentially saying, We'll defend the perimeter. We'll handle your offensive 70 00:03:41.340 --> 00:03:43.539 line with our defensive front. And we're not going to 71 00:03:43.620 --> 00:03:47.250 overcommit to stopping your inside run game. That's an enormous problem. 72 00:03:47.530 --> 00:03:52.090 And Brooks showed exactly why Georgia felt comfortable doing that. 73 00:03:52.789 --> 00:03:56.770 On one early run, Florida attempts an H-back insert concept. Basically, 74 00:03:56.789 --> 00:04:00.189 it's an old-school isolation run out of a modern formation. 75 00:04:01.289 --> 00:04:05.229 Georgia defensive lineman Elijah Griffin occupies two offensive linemen at 76 00:04:05.250 --> 00:04:07.610 the point of attack. That prevents Florida from getting a 77 00:04:07.629 --> 00:04:11.020 blocker cleanly to the second level. The running lane gets squeezed. 78 00:04:11.500 --> 00:04:15.300 Baugh tries to bounce outside, and Georgia's Chris Cole is there, 79 00:04:15.379 --> 00:04:19.379 and he finishes the play. Now, Brooks actually suggested Baugh 80 00:04:19.420 --> 00:04:22.379 would have been better served staying on the original path 81 00:04:22.439 --> 00:04:25.839 and accepting a modest game. But here's the bigger point. 82 00:04:26.579 --> 00:04:30.879 One Georgia defensive lineman effectively disrupted the blocking structure of 83 00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:34.300 the entire play. And when that happens repeatedly, you cannot 84 00:04:34.420 --> 00:04:37.709 consistently run the football. Georgia also did an excellent job 85 00:04:37.750 --> 00:04:41.170 defending Florida's outside zone concepts. Brooks showed a play where 86 00:04:41.209 --> 00:04:45.250 Gabe Harris attacked inside, forcing the running back to change direction, 87 00:04:45.379 --> 00:04:48.000 and the next Georgia defender was waiting right there to 88 00:04:48.019 --> 00:04:51.019 make the tackle. The same thing happened on counter runs. 89 00:04:51.500 --> 00:04:54.899 Georgia's defenders squeezed down on the pulling blockers, maintained that 90 00:04:54.980 --> 00:04:58.430 outside leverage, and then forced Florida's ball carriers into pursuit. 91 00:04:59.149 --> 00:05:01.550 That wasn't just Georgia being more physical. It was Georgia 92 00:05:01.589 --> 00:05:05.240 playing with outstanding gap discipline. And it forced Florida to 93 00:05:05.300 --> 00:05:09.750 keep looking for answers that really never consistently materialized. And 94 00:05:09.790 --> 00:05:13.430 now let's talk about something

Georgia defensive coordinator Glenn Schumann did. 95 00:05:14.029 --> 00:05:16.269 One of the most impressive plays that Brooks broke down 96 00:05:16.310 --> 00:05:19.670 was the pressure that contributed to Aaron Filo's disastrous interception. 97 00:05:20.290 --> 00:05:22.209 And I think this might be the perfect illustration of 98 00:05:22.250 --> 00:05:25.910 what happened on Saturday. Before the snap, Georgia presents a 99 00:05:25.949 --> 00:05:28.269 defensive look where Florida has to account for Chris Cole 100 00:05:28.310 --> 00:05:30.860 near the line of scrimmage. Cole is a legit pass 101 00:05:30.899 --> 00:05:34.660 rush threat. So Florida's offensive line adjusts its protection to 102 00:05:34.699 --> 00:05:37.819 account for him. But then Georgia drops Cole into coverage. 103 00:05:38.310 --> 00:05:41.689 It drops another defender as well. And instead, Schumann brings 104 00:05:41.730 --> 00:05:45.110 pressure from the opposite side. Now Florida has three offensive 105 00:05:45.129 --> 00:05:47.610 linemen initially working towards a side where there was an 106 00:05:47.670 --> 00:05:51.149 anticipated rush, but it doesn't arrive. While Georgia creates a 107 00:05:51.209 --> 00:05:55.240 three-on-two threat on the other side. Brooks described the design 108 00:05:55.300 --> 00:05:59.620 as diabolical. And he was right. Georgia manipulated Florida's protection 109 00:05:59.660 --> 00:06:02.569 before the ball was even snapped. Now, Florida still has 110 00:06:02.589 --> 00:06:05.680 to execute better. Brooks specifically pointed out that right tackle 111 00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:08.300 needed to pick somebody up even after Georgia created the 112 00:06:08.660 --> 00:06:12.350 numerical disadvantage, but the pressure gets through. Philo's flushed out 113 00:06:12.370 --> 00:06:14.329 of the pocket, he loses his balance, and he attempts 114 00:06:14.389 --> 00:06:16.649 an awkward underhanded throw that ends up in the hands 115 00:06:16.689 --> 00:06:21.420 of Ellis Robinson. Now, Philo can't make Obviously, he can't 116 00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:23.720 make that throw. It was atrocious. It was terrible. It 117 00:06:23.740 --> 00:06:25.000 was maybe one of the worst throws I've ever seen 118 00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:27.060 in college football. He has to take the sack. He 119 00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:29.259 needs to get rid of the ball legally, if possible, 120 00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:33.110 or just live to fight another down. A bad play 121 00:06:33.170 --> 00:06:36.149 cannot become a catastrophic play, and that's what happened. But 122 00:06:36.189 --> 00:06:38.689 here's what I want to emphasize. Georgia didn't simply get 123 00:06:38.850 --> 00:06:43.629 lucky because Florida's quarterback made a terrible decision. Georgia's designed 124 00:06:44.069 --> 00:06:48.720 a pressure specifically to create that quarterback discomfort. And according 125 00:06:48.740 --> 00:06:52.029 to Brooks... Making Philo uncomfortable outside the pocket was

something 126 00:06:52.069 --> 00:06:55.509 Georgia had identified as a potential vulnerability long before this game. 127 00:06:56.009 --> 00:06:59.699 That's scouting, that's preparation, and that's a defensive coordinator successfully 128 00:06:59.800 --> 00:07:04.019 attacking an opponent's weakness. So yes, Philo deserves responsibility for 129 00:07:04.060 --> 00:07:08.000 the interception. It was bad. But Georgia also deserves credit 130 00:07:08.040 --> 00:07:11.589 for creating the circumstances that led to it. And I 131 00:07:11.649 --> 00:07:14.490 think that that's an important distinction that we need to 132 00:07:14.569 --> 00:07:18.500 make as well. I'm going to take A short break 133 00:07:18.519 --> 00:07:20.180 because I want to give a little love to Alumni Hall. 134 00:07:20.199 --> 00:07:22.500 We haven't talked to you guys about it in a 135 00:07:22.550 --> 00:07:26.410 little bit.

And make sure you guys tell 147 00:07:57.519 --> 00:08:01.000 them that Ally sent you. All right, let's get right 148 00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:04.379 back into this video. I just think that the things 149 00:08:04.420 --> 00:08:07.360 that Georgia did was so impressive. And I want to 150 00:08:07.399 --> 00:08:10.899 talk now about their defensive touchdown. It's really difficult to 151 00:08:10.939 --> 00:08:14.149 watch from Florida perspective. Florida calls a hitch and go concept. 152 00:08:14.209 --> 00:08:16.170 And Brooks actually said he didn't hate the play call. 153 00:08:16.589 --> 00:08:19.170 He thought Florida had an opportunity to make something happen. 154 00:08:19.509 --> 00:08:23.529 But once again, Georgia's defensive scheme and Florida's execution created 155 00:08:23.550 --> 00:08:28.029 a disaster. Georgia runs a pressure game involving Quintavious Johnson 156 00:08:28.209 --> 00:08:32.429 and Rayland Wilson. Florida's left tackle and running back, who's 157 00:08:32.500 --> 00:08:34.639 Evan Pryor in this one, don't appear to be on 158 00:08:34.659 --> 00:08:37.240 the same page about how to handle the exchange. So 159 00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:40.379 instead of passing off the defenders correctly, Florida ends up 160 00:08:40.419 --> 00:08:43.580 with a protection breakdown. Johnson comes free, the quarterback gets hit, 161 00:08:43.620 --> 00:08:45.659 the football comes out, and Chris Cole recovers it and 162 00:08:45.679 --> 00:08:47.399 takes it to the end zone. Now, there are two 163 00:08:47.440 --> 00:08:50.440 things here. First, Georgia deserves a tremendous amount of credit 164 00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:53.480 for the pressure design. It's another example of Schumann creating 165 00:08:53.519 --> 00:08:57.600 confusion and forcing Florida to communicate correctly under pressure. But secondly, 166 00:08:57.700 --> 00:09:01.360 Florida absolutely has to execute its protections. These are the 167 00:09:01.399 --> 00:09:03.799 kinds of situations where your offensive line and running backs 168 00:09:04.250 --> 00:09:07.950 work on throughout the week. You can't consistently have confusion 169 00:09:07.970 --> 00:09:10.820 about who's responsible for which defender. And then there's part 170 00:09:10.860 --> 00:09:13.360 of this play that Brooks was especially critical of. He 171 00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:16.580 pointed to number 21, that's Evan Pryor, and questioned his 172 00:09:16.779 --> 00:09:20.000 effort after the turnover. Brooks noted that the player never 173 00:09:20.139 --> 00:09:23.139 appeared to fully accelerate in pursuit of Cole. And I 174 00:09:23.139 --> 00:09:25.320 want to be careful here because there's a difference between 175 00:09:25.440 --> 00:09:29.179 one poor effort on a play and labeling somebody as 176 00:09:29.250 --> 00:09:31.309 a player who doesn't care. That's not what I'm doing. 177 00:09:31.690 --> 00:09:33.509 But the standard has to be the standard. When the 178 00:09:33.529 --> 00:09:36.669 football comes loose, everybody has to pursue. You don't assume 179 00:09:36.720 --> 00:09:38.559 the play is over. You don't assume somebody else is 180 00:09:38.580 --> 00:09:41.059 going to make the tackle. You sprint until the whistle blows. 181 00:09:41.720 --> 00:09:43.759 And to Brooks' credit, he wasn't calling for somebody to 182 00:09:43.779 --> 00:09:45.259 be kicked off the team at all. He was calling 183 00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:48.019 for accountability. And that's exactly what John Summerall has to 184 00:09:48.059 --> 00:09:51.730 demand because Georgia's talent may be better in certain areas, 185 00:09:52.090 --> 00:09:55.909 but effort, communication, and playing through the whistle, that's a non-negotiable. 186 00:09:56.649 --> 00:10:00.870 And it's a no-talent thing like Phil Troutwine talks about. Now, 187 00:10:00.909 --> 00:10:03.889 here's where this film breakdown becomes especially concerning for Florida, though. 188 00:10:04.230 --> 00:10:07.659 Brooks repeatedly points out situations where Georgia's defenders seem to 189

00:10:07.669 --> 00:10:11.059 know exactly what's coming. On one play, Florida attempts a 190 00:10:11.100 --> 00:10:14.360 toss-action fake before throwing the football. And Brooks noted that 191 00:10:14.379 --> 00:10:16.700 almost nobody on Georgia's defense reacted to the run fake 192 00:10:16.740 --> 00:10:19.700 at all. Nobody was fooled. That is important because play-action 193 00:10:19.740 --> 00:10:22.519 passing is built on making defenders respect the possibility of 194 00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:26.179 a run. If linebackers don't step forward, if safeties don't hesitate, 195 00:10:26.220 --> 00:10:29.350 and if defenders immediately recognize the passing concept, you're not 196 00:10:29.399 --> 00:10:31.830 creating the advantage the play is designed to produce. And 197 00:10:31.909 --> 00:10:35.769 that's exactly what happened. Georgia's defenders stayed disciplined, the throwing 198 00:10:35.789 --> 00:10:38.509 window remained tight, and the play ended in another interception. 199 00:10:39.070 --> 00:10:42.549 Brooks also highlighted how Georgia recognized Florida's screen tendencies in 200 00:10:42.570 --> 00:10:45.950 a long yardage situation. He mentioned that Florida had shown 201 00:10:45.990 --> 00:10:48.730 a tendency to go to screens or draws when facing 202 00:10:48.769 --> 00:10:51.840 difficult third downs, and Georgia was prepared for that. Now, 203 00:10:52.049 --> 00:10:55.879 to be fair, Florida wasn't entirely without creative ideas. Brooks 204 00:10:55.940 --> 00:10:59.100 actually praised a tackle over variation of a triple arrow concept, 205 00:10:59.139 --> 00:11:01.860 which gave the quarterback multiple options and it created some space. 206 00:11:02.559 --> 00:11:04.419 He also pointed to a counter run where Florida made 207 00:11:04.440 --> 00:11:07.019 a good adjustment to Georgia's defensive approach. So I don't 208 00:11:07.039 --> 00:11:10.440 think we can say that Faulkner absolutely had nothing that worked. 209 00:11:10.870 --> 00:11:13.350 But the larger problem was that Georgia had answers for 210 00:11:13.389 --> 00:11:16.269 almost everything Florida was trying to establish. Here's what I 211 00:11:16.289 --> 00:11:19.210 keep coming back to. When Georgia was defending Florida screens, 212 00:11:19.330 --> 00:11:22.350 it attacked downhill. When Florida tried to run outside, Georgia 213 00:11:22.370 --> 00:11:25.269 forced the ball back inside. When Florida tried to run vertically, 214 00:11:25.389 --> 00:11:28.250 Georgia's defensive linemen controlled the point of attack. When Florida 215 00:11:28.269 --> 00:11:31.889 went to play action, Georgia wasn't consistently fooled. And when 216 00:11:31.929 --> 00:11:35.529 Florida needed to throw, Schumann attacked its protection rules. That's 217 00:11:35.590 --> 00:11:39.200 a defense schematically taking away an offense's identity. And at 218 00:11:39.299 --> 00:11:42.240 some point, that's not just about the players. That's about 219 00:11:42.279 --> 00:11:44.840 how you're attacking the defense, how you're adjusting, and whether 220 00:11:44.860 --> 00:11:49.250 you're giving your players enough answers. So let's answer the question. 221 00:11:49.649 --> 00:11:52.769 Was this more about Georgia playing great football or Florida 222 00:11:52.789 --> 00:11:56.429 playing poorly? My answer is that Georgia deserves more credit 223 00:11:56.490 --> 00:12:00.279 for creating the overall result. But Florida deserves some significant 224 00:12:00.320 --> 00:12:03.120 blame for how ugly it became. And here's why. Georgia 225 00:12:03.139 --> 00:12:05.120 didn't just sit back and wait for Florida to make mistakes. 226 00:12:05.399 --> 00:12:09.809 Schumann actively created mismatches in protection. Georgia's defenders recognized screens 227 00:12:09.870 --> 00:12:13.389 before they developed. Its defensive line defended blocks without requiring 228 00:12:13.429 --> 00:12:16.820 constant help. And its linebackers and defensive backs played with 229 00:12:16.840 --> 00:12:20.519 the kind of anticipation that comes from excellent preparation. That's 230 00:12:20.559 --> 00:12:24.080 a terrific defensive performance. Here's the other side. Georgia didn't 231 00:12:24.120 --> 00:12:26.620 force Florida to make every bad decision. Georgia didn't force 232 00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:29.330 the offensive line and running backs to miscommunicate their assignments. 233 00:12:29.730 --> 00:12:32.429 Georgia didn't force Philo to attempt that underhanded throw rather 234 00:12:32.470 --> 00:12:35.480 than just accept a sack. Georgia didn't force every penalty, 235 00:12:35.539 --> 00:12:39.000 every false start, or every questionable offensive decision. And Georgia 236 00:12:39.059 --> 00:12:41.539 certainly didn't force a Florida player to fail to pursue 237 00:12:41.590 --> 00:12:44.120 a fumble recovery at full speed. Those are the things 238 00:12:44.139 --> 00:12:46.549 that Florida has to own. The other important distinction is 239 00:12:46.590 --> 00:12:49.210 what happened when Georgia had the football. Florida held Georgia 240 00:12:49.230 --> 00:12:51.990 to 318 yards and 27 points, and seven of those 241 00:12:52.049 --> 00:12:55.789 points came directly from Georgia's defense. The Gators' defense wasn't perfect, 242 00:12:55.850 --> 00:12:59.029 but it gave Florida opportunities to remain competitive. This was 243 00:12:59.070 --> 00:13:01.110 not Georgia's offense running up and down the field at will. 244 00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:05.360 This was a Georgia defense completely disrupting Florida's offense. And 245 00:13:05.379 --> 00:13:07.980 when you consider the turnover and the field position consequences, 246 00:13:08.279 --> 00:13:11.919 the Gators made an already difficult matchup almost impossible. So no, 247 00:13:12.220 --> 00:13:13.850 I don't look at this game and conclude that every 248 00:13:13.879 --> 00:13:17.570 single aspect of Georgia's football team was overwhelmingly superior to

Florida's. 249 00:13:18.070 --> 00:13:20.950 But I do think Georgia's defense exposed just how far 250 00:13:21.029 --> 00:13:23.649 Florida's offense still has to go. And that's where the 251 00:13:23.690 --> 00:13:27.299 conversation brings John Summerall into where we are. Florida's 5-3. 252 00:13:28.110 --> 00:13:29.370 This is a team that went on the road and 253 00:13:29.409 --> 00:13:31.490 beat Texas. It's a team that beat Ole Miss. We've 254 00:13:31.529 --> 00:13:34.549 seen enough flashes to believe there's real potential here. But 255 00:13:34.570 --> 00:13:38.269 Saturday showed us something else. Florida's still not a consistently disciplined, 256 00:13:38.350 --> 00:13:41.600 fundamentally sound offensive football team. And when the opponent is 257 00:13:41.629 --> 00:13:46.440 as talented and as prepared as Georgia, those weaknesses get magnified. Now, 258 00:13:46.580 --> 00:13:48.519 I don't think one loss to Georgia means the rebuild 259 00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:51.059 has failed. That would be ridiculous. But I also don't 260 00:13:51.100 --> 00:13:53.019 think Summerall can just chalk this up to facing an 261 00:13:53.059 --> 00:13:56.090 outstanding defense and move on. What happens when you see 262 00:13:56.110 --> 00:13:59.429 a defense playing aggressively against your perimeter game? What happens 263 00:13:59.470 --> 00:14:01.950 when the opponent clearly doesn't fear your vertical rushing attack? 264 00:14:02.250 --> 00:14:05.100 What happens when your quarterback is being manipulated by defensive 265 00:14:05.139 --> 00:14:09.000 pressures and looks? You have to have answers. And sometimes 266 00:14:09.019 --> 00:14:12.279 the answer isn't a more complicated play. Sometimes it's better communication. 267 00:14:12.360 --> 00:14:15.320 Sometimes it's identifying what the defense is giving you. Sometimes 268 00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:18.720 it's simplifying the protection, and sometimes it's understanding that taking 269 00:14:18.759 --> 00:14:22.269 a four-yard gain or even accepting a sack, that's considerably 270 00:14:22.289 --> 00:14:24.549 better than trying to make a spectacular play that turns 271 00:14:24.730 --> 00:14:27.509 into a turnover. Florida doesn't have to be perfect to 272 00:14:27.529 --> 00:14:29.850 win football games, but it has to stop making life 273 00:14:29.870 --> 00:14:32.779 so difficult on itself, and that starts with coaching. So 274 00:14:32.820 --> 00:14:35.899 here's my biggest takeaway from Brooks Austin's film review. Georgia 275 00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:38.580 looked like a football team that knew exactly what it was, 276 00:14:38.980 --> 00:14:40.899 what it wants to be, exactly what it wants to do. 277 00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:43.240 Florida looks like a football team who's still trying to 278 00:14:43.279 --> 00:14:46.059 figure out how to respond when its first option isn't working. 279 00:14:46.700 --> 00:14:48.580 And that is the difference between a program that's been 280 00:14:48.679

--> 00:14:50.860 operating at an elite level for years and a program 281 00:14:50.879 --> 00:14:53.340 trying to get back there. Georgia was more prepared. They 282 00:14:53.360 --> 00:14:55.600 were more decisive. They were more physical at the point 283 00:14:55.620 --> 00:14:59.220 of attack. And Georgia's defense played with tremendous confidence. But 284 00:14:59.259 --> 00:15:01.919 Florida made it easier than it needed to be. Four turnovers, 285 00:15:02.059 --> 00:15:05.879 missed assignments, poor decisions, an offense that never established consistency, 286 00:15:06.220 --> 00:15:08.820 and a 27-8 final score that leaves Florida with some 287 00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:12.509 uncomfortable questions heading into Oklahoma Week. Now, if you're looking 288 00:15:12.590 --> 00:15:16.610 for something encouraging, it's that Florida's defense showed it can 289 00:15:16.629 --> 00:15:18.840 compete with an opponent like Georgia. And there were a 290 00:15:18.860 --> 00:15:22.000 handful of offensive concepts that Brooks thought had potential. But 291 00:15:22.039 --> 00:15:26.360 those positives don't erase the bigger concerns. You cannot expect 292 00:15:26.399 --> 00:15:28.440 to compete with elite teams in this conference when your 293 00:15:28.519 --> 00:15:35.570 offense is routinely putting itself into impossible situations. Even though 294 00:15:35.610 --> 00:15:39.549 Georgia was playing great, part of this equation is that 295 00:15:39.590 --> 00:15:42.669 Florida was playing poorly. Georgia won this chess match and 296 00:15:42.710 --> 00:15:44.690 Florida made far too many mistakes trying to play its 297 00:15:44.730 --> 00:15:48.490 way out of checkmate. And now the responsibility falls on 298 00:15:48.529 --> 00:15:51.669 Summerall and Faulkner and this offensive staff to prove that 299 00:15:51.690 --> 00:15:54.169 they can learn from it. Oklahoma's coming to Gainesville this 300 00:15:54.210 --> 00:15:55.889 week and the Gators don't get to spend the entire 301 00:15:55.929 --> 00:15:57.769 week feeling sorry for themselves. They have to figure out 302 00:15:57.820 --> 00:16:00.059 how to respond. Now I want to hear from you. 303 00:16:00.539 --> 00:16:04.000 After watching Saturday's game, do you think that Georgia just 304 00:16:04.399 --> 00:16:08.259 exposed some talent limitations that Florida has? Or do you 305 00:16:08.879 --> 00:16:11.470 get more concerned about the preparation, the play calling, and 306 00:16:11.490 --> 00:16:14.190 the offensive execution.
