This isn't a talent or athleticism issue. It seriously isn't.
Its not like they went to Ohio State and got fucking handled. Get your shit together people.
This has everything to do with a locker room issue. Arch started the season saying they weren't the ones with targets on their backs they are the ones with the scope. Then he proceeds to do his best Hudson Card at Arkansas impression in Columbus, has the yips for 2 more fucking games and is best known this season for flexing on a guy he outweighed by 40lbs.
Who took the banner and ran with it? I don't see any of that shit anywhere. I don't see a lot of fire in their eyes. I see they are focused, I see they want to do well, but I don't see the energy or aura around this team or any players except for a handful.
There is no flow state possible when you are playing like this. You can play like this after you've already figured out how to be dominant and that's the standard you are playing too while being serious and in control. These guys couldn't even dominate SJSU or SHSU and damn sure not UTEP on the lines, why the fuck are you thinking you can do it to Florida?
The main thing win or lose I wanna see Saturday is the sideline in a fucking frenzy. I want these guys to look like rabid dogs ready go be let off the leash to rip the throats out of their deepest and most hated rivals. Anything in crimson and cream gets annilitated type energy.
When I see that energy I'll start worrying about what else is wrong. There's no way you can tell me these offensive lineman are punishing the DL that lines up across from them and hitting them to be fucking mean and to block them.
Until this team gives a shit, none of us should.
