Man, that running clock after a 1st down really changes things.

Thats Damien George, the Bama transfer

No, i was told that that the only difference was there would be more commercials.

Looks like we'll go back to games without both teams scoring in the 40s.

Dumbest thing i heard was a fan on RBR say.
"those teams going Turbo fast will go even faster now"
You can't go full throttle all the time.
Gus tried that crap and it blew up in his face.

Time management and play calling is eliminating any slim chance we had......

1 for 13 on 3rd down

I just don't get it.

I mean......this is why teams have OC's.

To get someone who understands the right plays to call.

Sadly - I don't see anything changing.

Going to be another long season......

"Florida's offense was huge"
Me: They have also barely played together and were on the road for the first game.

QB looks better than Richardson just from the little I watched. Execution needs to improve, they should see improvement overall during the year.

 

[GP for Bama]

I just hope Spectrum and Disney get things worked out

I could be wrong. I don't think y'all are as bad as y'all were today.

Yeah, I think Auburn is the team that needs to be sweating after tonight's game.

 

[BamaNation]

And they whipped the football team

maybe Minnesota was PLAYING the cornhusker volleyball team tonight. Man Nebraska is awful

Be careful... @ALABAMA......

Referring to a post by our resident UF fan. Not trying to be snarky. He’s a good sport

The Florida OL was just terrible. Could be a long year in Gainesvegas.

Ever since 2019
2019-3hrs 18mins
2020-3hrs 28mins
2021- 3hrs 28ims
2022- 3hrs 32mins

The biggest difference is teams are passing more now than 10 years ago. More incompletions means more times clock stops. The running clock on 1st downs won’t make that much of a difference overall. This will hurt more teams than other though. Take a team like Tennessee. It doesn’t matter if it’s 1st down or 3rd down, they trying to snap the ball ever 12-15 seconds. This is going to hurt teams that run more or a pro style offense than a team that runs tempo every play.

Tennesse fan deluding himself into thinking the new rules are going to benefit hurry up teams. Yeah, NFL has a running clock and everyone goes hurry up there.

 

[Redwood Forrest]

I expected better from Florida. They either bought into the SEC hype and were overconfident or they can't play very well.

Missed this one last night and was surprised that FLA lost by 2 scores when I looked up the Box Score stats.

Then I watched the condensed game highlights…

Multiple deep drives into Utah territory and came up with nothing.

1 Pick, Missed FG, Multiple Turnovers on downs.

Utah cashed in on almost all of their opportunities.

Fla flushed theirs straight down the toilet.

Mertz looked pretty decent throwing the ball but the Gators rushing game was bad.

Even if you take away the lost QB yardage they only gained 40 yards on 20 carries.

Yikes…
