WHAT THE HELL?

An SEC team playing a true road game against a ranked team??  Is that even legal?

First time UF has played an out of conference games outside Florida since 1991 IIRC.

Love how you guys think that was a TD. Zero proof. Bad camera angles for replay. Nowhere near enough evidence to over turn 

Fox's rules guy seemed to think it was a TD.  I thought there was enough to overturn it, but I'm not surprised it wasn't.

I'd take Riley over Frost.  Same record, costs less.

I think this play on the road first game against Big 10+ stuff is dumb.  The conference is dumb and should follow the SEC cupcake 3 games and 1 before the conference championship model.

Talking to you folks on here is the only thing that can take the sting away from the game.  And can colorado please lose on saturday so they can stop stroking him.

I dunno. Scotch works pretty well

If this was a non-conference home game to start we'd probably be doing better

With our DL getting drug down, doesn't surprise me at all.

Right now, NU’s offense looks like the 2nd Coming of Adrian Martinez. There WERE some plays with impressive O-Line PUSH. But we need to see the other running backs doing something. Rahmir J. has done nothing rushing OR receiving. Turning to Grant as the #2 & he knows it.

Sims telegraphs where he is going. Not seeing him going through progressions on pass plays.

He was wide open but should have gone for the 3 right there after the penalty, get the points imho.

That’s hindsight talking. You always go for the TD, with the FG as a backup plan. Coaches aren’t expecting the INT to happen.

Good lord why didn't Sims throw it away? That's a rookie mistake

I love how this game is all about freakn prime and Colorado. i live in Colorado and this shouldnt be.

 But a 3-0 game i guess its ok. 

 

[ColoradoHusk]

Rhule and Satt had to feel out things in that first half. This first game, they were just trying to get into the 4th with a chance to win the game. That’s still a possibility. 

 

[Born N Bled Red]

Seems to me that extended reviews and long media time outs happen a lot more when we have the ball. Definitely makes it harder to.get into a rhythm.

He has a habit of making poor decisions in the passing game. He needs to get better in that.

First half down by 3 and stuck after the penalty, not risking it and taking 3 myself.  I know Rhule was trying to get them some "hype" but I think we get the points, let them go in at half talking  about the game is tied, we can play with these guys so lets go out there and put a whoopin on em the 2nd half.

 

[Decked]

Really curious to see how both teams adjust here. Hopefully we will be able to finally do that
