OGT 2023 Week 2: Florida Gators (0-1) 49, McNeese 7 (9/9/2023)

[DRU2012]

Ooh! Almost clicked on the long pass.
Why not? But now offense looking sloppy around him...but this is WHY you get these young players IN there, right?
So now we see the punter for the first time--after 7 straight touchdowns on their first seven possessions!
He at least gets a nice long one off without a return...so THAT part of Soecial Teams appears to be functioning properly; still probably best to AVOID having to USE it as much as possible, if we can manage it.

 

[DRU2012]

PUNTERS ARE PEOPLE TOO!

You are ON FIRE tonight, E-- !

 

[DRU2012]

I am enjoying this game, but am now TEMPTED to watch some of this now crucial part of that Texas/Bama game..."One for the ages!" my neighbor just hollered to me out front.

 

[DRU2012]

Texas back up 10 with 8 plus minutes left.
McNeese Punter pins us inside the ONE AGAIN!

 

[DRU2012]

I don't know if these 3rd stringers are up to driving the field from there--but they get it started with a nice first-down run out to the 15.

 

[DRU2012]

But now sloppiness showing up again with the subs in there. That was a fumble that sure LOOKED like it was RErecovered by our guy.
They are reviewing it though...Billy looks PISSED. And this is an appropriate time for it.
However--they give it to McNeese St on our TEN! THAT was a bad STUPID call, even if it WAS a messed up move by the young RB in every way.
I STILL think the refs STOLE the shutout from our defense there.

 

[Escambia94]

49-7, Gators. Sigh. The shutout would have been nice.

 

[DRU2012]

Normally it wouldn't matter, but the D EARNED the shutout...So this one STINKS no matter WHAT.

 

[Escambia94]

Gators snap a 4-game losing streak dating back to November 2022 with a 49-7 home opener victory over McNeese.
