00:00:09.480 --> 00:00:11.919
It's HMA when you play a $ 5 lineup. And if
5
00:00:11.960 --> 00:00:16.320
you win, you'll get 150 in lineups instantly. So Florida's
6
00:00:16.410 --> 00:00:21.129
offense is broken. The number from Saturday night, they're not
7
00:00:21.170 --> 00:00:26.440
just bad. They are literally, guys, alarming. 203 yards against Oklahoma,
8
00:00:26.519 --> 00:00:30.460
seven points, 11 first downs, two third down conversions, two,
9
00:00:31.079 --> 00:00:34.750
and just 47 offensive plays. Five weeks ago, the same
10
00:00:34.810 --> 00:00:38.369
program was celebrating 52 points against Ole Miss. Florida has
11
00:00:38.390 --> 00:00:41.329
scored 15 points across two games, and the Gators are
12
00:00:41.369 --> 00:00:44.869
headed to Kentucky at night where they've lost their last
13
00:00:44.950 --> 00:00:48.179
three visits. Here's what concerns me most. This isn't just
14
00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:51.399
one bad game. The same weaknesses keep showing up against
15
00:00:51.439 --> 00:00:55.320
different opponents with different quarterbacks. So blaming Tramell Jones or
16
00:00:55.840 --> 00:01:01.420
blaming Philo or blaming any one person isn't good enough.
17
00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:05.099
John Summerall and Buster Faulkner have to find answers. Not
18
00:01:05.140 --> 00:01:09.569
in December, not after another offseason, this week. Today I'm
19
00:01:09.590 --> 00:01:12.609
going to give you five specific fixes Florida needs before
20
00:01:12.650 --> 00:01:15.969
kickoff in Lexington. And I'll tell you which one matters
21
00:01:15.989 --> 00:01:21.260
the most. Fix number one, give Jaden Baugh a real
22
00:01:21.319 --> 00:01:25.409
role again. Eight carries, 35 yards. That's Baugh's rushing line
23
00:01:25.450 --> 00:01:29.530
against Oklahoma. Yes, he scored Florida's only touchdown, a 15-yard run.
24
00:01:29.890 --> 00:01:33.349
But eight attempts for arguably your most dangerous offensive weapon? Well,
25
00:01:33.370 --> 00:01:35.730
that's a problem. It's a problem for me. Now, it's
26
00:01:35.780 --> 00:01:38.540
too easy to just scream, give him the ball 25 times.
27
00:01:39.159 --> 00:01:42.739
When the line isn't creating movement and you're barely possessing
28
00:01:42.780 --> 00:01:45.099
the ball, the carry count doesn't tell the whole story.
29
00:01:45.780 --> 00:01:49.930
Florida only ran 47 plays. Oklahoma ran 73 plays. But
30
00:01:49.950 --> 00:01:52.769
there are ways to feature Baugh even when traditional handoffs
31
00:01:52.810 --> 00:01:57.120
aren't working. Motion him out of the backfield. Throw him
32
00:01:57.159 --> 00:01:59.959
a screen. Get him matched against the linebacker. Use a
33
00:01:59.980 --> 00:02:03.560
quick toss with an extra blocker. Make the defense account
34
00:02:03.599 --> 00:02:06.000
for him on every single snap. And don't forget Duke
35
00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:09.740
Clark either. He's got six rushes for 28 yards against Oklahoma.
36
00:02:10.060 --> 00:02:13.120
Florida had more than one player who can stress the edge.
37
00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:16.689
Use them. The point isn't to force the same run
38
00:02:16.810 --> 00:02:20.110
into a stacked front until it magically works. It's to
39
00:02:20.150 --> 00:02:23.629
build an offensive plan around your best players rather than
40
00:02:23.750 --> 00:02:28.610
ask them to rescue a broken plan. Fix number two,
41
00:02:29.349 --> 00:02:32.750
fix the protection plan, not just the blocking. Tramell Jones
42
00:02:32.789 --> 00:02:36.919
was sacked three times against Oklahoma. Florida also lost 26
43
00:02:36.919 --> 00:02:40.300
yards on those sacks. That puts a struggling offense behind
44
00:02:40.340 --> 00:02:43.439
schedule before the next play even begins. We can argue
45
00:02:43.500 --> 00:02:46.979
about who's responsible for each pressure. Sometimes the lineman loses
46
00:02:47.020 --> 00:02:50.919
his matchup. Sometimes the quarterback holds the ball. Sometimes the
47
00:02:50.960 --> 00:02:53.979
defense brings more rushers than the protection can handle, but
48
00:02:54.020 --> 00:02:57.020
the staff has to give Jones cleaner answers. Keep a
49
00:02:57.060 --> 00:03:00.599
tight end in to create some help on certain downs.
50
00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:06.569
Slide protection towards the biggest threat. Use chips from the
51
00:03:06.610 --> 00:03:10.710
running back. Move the launch point so the defenders can't
52
00:03:10.789 --> 00:03:14.969
rush that same spot every single time. And most importantly,
53
00:03:15.310 --> 00:03:18.219
shorten the time between snap and decision. A young quarterback
54
00:03:18.250 --> 00:03:22.199
shouldn't have to be a superhero on every critical third down. Now,
55
00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:24.819
that doesn't mean abandoning downfield throws. I mean, I guess
56
00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:27.020
we kind of have abandoned downfield throws because I don't
57
00:03:27.039 --> 00:03:30.699
know if we've seen any this season at all. It
58
00:03:30.759 --> 00:03:35.770
means earning them by making the defense hesitate. If opponents
59
00:03:35.849 --> 00:03:39.110
know they can attack the quarterback without fearing the run
60
00:03:39.389 --> 00:03:44.009
or a quick completion, they're going to keep coming. So stop.
61
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:47.770
Fix number three, win first down and get off the
62
00:03:47.830 --> 00:03:51.110
field on third down. These are like, this might be
63
00:03:51.129 --> 00:03:54.310
the most important point of the entire video, truly. Florida
64
00:03:54.349 --> 00:03:58.120
converted two of nine third downs on Saturday. Oklahoma converted
65
00:03:58.120 --> 00:04:01.199
10 of 18. That is not just a
Load full transcript
statistic. That
66
00:04:01.259 --> 00:04:04.680
is the story of the game. When you fail on
67
00:04:04.759 --> 00:04:08.240
third down, your offense sits. When the opponent converts, your
68
00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:12.159
defense stays out there. And every failed possession makes the
69
00:04:12.259 --> 00:04:16.319
next offensive series feel even more desperate. Oklahoma had a
70
00:04:16.319 --> 00:04:18.439
20 play. I don't even know if I've ever seen
71
00:04:18.459 --> 00:04:20.360
a 20 play drive before, but we had a 20
72
00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:26.220
play drive, 89 yard ends in a touchdown. That drive
73
00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:29.839
consumed 12 minutes and 45 seconds. Think about that. Nearly
74
00:04:29.879 --> 00:04:34.259
an entire quarter disappeared on one possession. You can't ask
75
00:04:34.319 --> 00:04:38.050
Florida's defense to be perfect while the offense is consistently
76
00:04:38.149 --> 00:04:42.230
handing the ball right back. The repair starts on first down.
77
00:04:42.750 --> 00:04:45.970
Avoid negative plays. Take the easy five yards when they're there.
78
00:04:46.370 --> 00:04:49.579
Mix runs with quick throws. Stop turning second and manageable
79
00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:53.000
into third and forever. And on third and short, have
80
00:04:53.120 --> 00:04:57.540
something you trust, a concept that you've practiced, that fits
81
00:04:57.579 --> 00:05:01.129
your personnel, that doesn't require a miracle throw. Florida needs
82
00:05:01.509 --> 00:05:07.389
repeatable answers, not a different gamble every single drive. We're
83
00:05:07.410 --> 00:05:08.850
going to take a quick break from this video because
84
00:05:08.870 --> 00:05:11.889
I want to give a little update for you guys.
85
00:05:12.129 --> 00:05:15.430
We are now available on Apple Podcast and on Spotify.
86
00:05:15.709 --> 00:05:18.189
We want to be available any way you consume your content.
87
00:05:18.209 --> 00:05:20.139
So if there's something we should be on that we're not,
88
00:05:20.180 --> 00:05:21.660
let me know down in the comments. I'll see what
89
00:05:21.699 --> 00:05:24.160
I can do there. You guys have asked for probably
90
00:05:24.180 --> 00:05:26.000
a year, year and a half if we had an
91
00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:29.959
audio only option. It's there now. Make sure you take advantage.
92
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:33.899
Sometimes I drop little reactions or things in the car quickly.
93
00:05:34.290 --> 00:05:36.220
that I'm not going to put over on YouTube. So
94
00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:38.180
make sure you're subscribed so you can check those things out.
95
00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:41.220
I appreciate you guys consuming my content any way you
96
00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:45.120
choose to. So my fix number four is make the
97
00:05:45.160 --> 00:05:48.709
quarterback's job simpler without making the offense predictable. This is
98
00:05:48.750 --> 00:05:52.430
a pretty big ask. Jones finished 10 of 22 for
99
00:05:52.430 --> 00:05:56.730
133 yards and two interceptions against Oklahoma. He is responsible
100
00:05:56.810 --> 00:06:00.199
for his decisions, especially the fourth down interception when Florida
101
00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:02.639
had a chance to take the lead. But we're evaluating
102
00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:05.360
a young quarterback who's making only a second career start.
103
00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:11.310
The playbook should recognize that reality. Give him defined reads early.
104
00:06:11.709 --> 00:06:14.949
Create easy throws to Duke Clark and Dallas Wilson. Use
105
00:06:14.990 --> 00:06:19.149
play action when you've shown the defense a credible run threat.
106
00:06:19.350 --> 00:06:21.769
He is a credible run threat too. Give him an
107
00:06:21.949 --> 00:06:24.709
outlet when his first read isn't available. And when Florida
108
00:06:24.730 --> 00:06:28.230
gets into scoring position, think carefully about the risk. On
109
00:06:28.290 --> 00:06:31.689
fourth and three at the Oklahoma 17, Jordans threw an
110
00:06:31.730 --> 00:06:34.810
interception into the end zone. That was a chance to
111
00:06:34.870 --> 00:06:37.769
change the game. It did change the game, just not
112
00:06:37.790 --> 00:06:40.500
in the way Florida would have wanted to. The opportunity
113
00:06:40.540 --> 00:06:43.759
to score disappeared. Was it the right call? I think
114
00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:47.560
you can debate that. I actually have no issue going
115
00:06:47.620 --> 00:06:50.579
with it on fourth down. None at all. I understand
116
00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:52.379
the logic that Florida hadn't been in the red zone.
117
00:06:53.290 --> 00:06:55.670
I totally get all of that. But what can't be
118
00:06:55.709 --> 00:06:58.629
debated is the need for better execution and better options
119
00:06:58.769 --> 00:07:02.250
in those moments. Did you need to go for seven
120
00:07:02.300 --> 00:07:04.720
right then? Couldn't you have taken the three and lived
121
00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:07.660
to fight another down? That's, I don't know. There's some
122
00:07:07.680 --> 00:07:10.060
debate there. But a better throw, even if it wasn't
123
00:07:10.100 --> 00:07:13.459
the right play call, was there. Now, what about Aaron Filo?
124
00:07:13.699 --> 00:07:16.750
If he's healthy, the staff should evaluate him honestly. He's
125
00:07:16.769 --> 00:07:19.889
played efficient football early in the season. But Florida's offensive
126
00:07:19.910 --> 00:07:24.790
struggles began before Jones took over. So I don't know
127
00:07:24.829 --> 00:07:27.790
what you do about that. Another quarterback might help. He
128
00:07:27.810 --> 00:07:31.459
won't magically fix protection, running lanes, or third down execution though.
129
00:07:32.379 --> 00:07:35.439
But don't turn this into a quarterback popularity contest. Build
130
00:07:35.480 --> 00:07:39.019
an offense that gives whoever starts a reasonable chance to succeed.
131
00:07:40.079 --> 00:07:42.910
Fix number five, get the play calling identity back and
132
00:07:42.970 --> 00:07:47.290
have a plan B. Remember Ole Miss? Florida ran for
133
00:07:47.290 --> 00:07:51.490
302 yards and six touchdowns that night. The Gators dictated
134
00:07:51.990 --> 00:07:55.319
the terms of that game. Oklahoma was the opposite. Only
135
00:07:55.319 --> 00:07:58.959
70 rushing yards, one touchdown, and no sustained rhythm. I'm
136
00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:02.060
not suggesting Faulkner suddenly forgot how to coach. And I'm
137
00:08:02.100 --> 00:08:04.939
not claiming that the same plays will work against every defense.
138
00:08:05.540 --> 00:08:08.360
But an offensive identity is more than saying you want
139
00:08:08.399 --> 00:08:11.439
to be physical. It's what you call when you're backed up.
140
00:08:12.019 --> 00:08:14.870
It's how you respond when the defense takes away inside runs.
141
00:08:15.430 --> 00:08:19.329
It's your best third down concept. It's what your players
142
00:08:19.370 --> 00:08:21.750
believe will work when the stadium is loud and everything
143
00:08:21.790 --> 00:08:26.639
gets tight. Florida needs a core of dependable plays, plus
144
00:08:27.060 --> 00:08:31.290
counters when Kentucky starts taking those first options away. Maybe
145
00:08:31.319 --> 00:08:34.590
that's more perimeter runs. Maybe it's moving the pocket. Maybe
146
00:08:34.629 --> 00:08:37.490
it's using tempo after a successful first down so the
147
00:08:37.529 --> 00:08:42.690
defense can't substitute. But do something with purpose. Because right now,
148
00:08:42.710 --> 00:08:45.830
too many of Florida's possessions feel like they're happening to
149
00:08:45.870 --> 00:08:49.809
the Gators instead of being controlled by the Gators. And
150
00:08:49.830 --> 00:08:53.350
here's my biggest point. These five fixes are all connected.
151
00:08:53.950 --> 00:08:57.870
Better early down offense makes third down easier. Better protections
152
00:08:57.929 --> 00:09:01.980
lets Jones or Philo play with confidence. More touches for
153
00:09:02.009 --> 00:09:06.100
Baugh forces defenses to respect multiple threats. Better play calling
154
00:09:06.159 --> 00:09:09.259
gives all of it a structure. You don't fix this
155
00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:14.240
by changing one player and hoping for some magic. Kentucky
156
00:09:14.299 --> 00:09:17.460
is next on the road at night against a team
157
00:09:17.480 --> 00:09:20.120
that will be desperate to respond after losing to Tennessee.
158
00:09:20.649 --> 00:09:25.120
Florida is 5-4, and bowl eligibility is not guaranteed. So
159
00:09:25.200 --> 00:09:29.399
what would progress actually look like on Saturday? Not necessarily
160
00:09:29.399 --> 00:09:33.759
40 points. Start with sustained drives, more manageable third downs,
161
00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:36.500
a real rushing threat, a quarterback who has answers when
162
00:09:36.519 --> 00:09:39.450
the first read is covered, and an offense that keeps
163
00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:42.450
its defense off the field. If Florida does those things,
164
00:09:42.529 --> 00:09:45.210
the Gators give themselves a chance to win. If we
165
00:09:45.289 --> 00:09:50.289
see another night of negative plays, stalled drives and wasted opportunities,
166
00:09:50.389 --> 00:09:53.139
then the problem isn't just execution. It's that the coaching
167
00:09:53.179 --> 00:09:56.360
staff still hasn't found a workable solution. For me, the
168
00:09:56.419 --> 00:09:59.580
most important fix has got to be staying on schedule.
169
00:10:00.309 --> 00:10:05.419
If Florida can win first down, everything else becomes so
170
00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:10.360
much easier. Ball gets meaningful touches. Protection gets less predictable.
171
00:10:11.080 --> 00:10:14.100
The quarterback doesn't have to save every possession. But now
172
00:10:14.120 --> 00:10:17.019
I want your answer. Which fix matters most to you?
173
00:10:17.629 --> 00:10:20.029
Is it Boz usage? Is it pass protection? Is it
174
00:10:20.049 --> 00:10:22.659
third down efficiency? Is it quarterback development? Or is it
175
00:10:22.700 --> 00:10:26.659
play calling? And what would you change first against Kentucky?
176
00:10:27.080 --> 00:10:28.919
Let me know down in the comments. I want to
177
