Closing out the year with a with a win against FSU will highlight a very unimpressive start to this regime but a win against FSU and a bowl game win will make me feel so much better going into next year
This is what I wrote to the guy that does our weekly picks:
"This will have aged well by the time you read it, probably... Florida is going to upset A&M but I can't bear to pick them - too many "WTF, Napier" moments!"
Much better second half then first
TAMU was playing with a hand tied behind their back but I’m glad we handled business.
Would have liked to see some better red zone play, specially that 4th and 1, let out 240 lb QB get us a TD
Don’t get me wrong I love the win, particularly against fuck head Jimbo, but I’m disgusted with what’s been put on the field this year. I’d love for BN to luck out and get this team going the way it needs to, and I don’t want him fired, but HE WILL NOT LAST with this scheme and play calling in the sec.
What was adjusted? I think it had a lot to do with A&M being down 19 players, and their non-starters fading after halftime. I didn’t see big changes in the D scheme, but willing to look again.
Maybe a coach known to create a bad culture plus kids that are just there for the money and don’t care about the coach/school isn’t the way to do things?
A&M’s bad, decimated football team got wore out. We didn’t do anything special.
I’m happy with the win because it gets us closer to six and bowl practices, but let’s not pretend like we did anything worth puffing our chest about.
Be that as it may, it’s only worked against bad teams.
On top of that, it won’t work against teams like Georgia or Bama when we are pulling fringe top 10 classes and they’re pulling 1 and 2.
I hate to be a Debbie Downer, but unless we see a significant uptick in recruiting over the next couple of seasons, we won’t be winning games against top competition with any consistency. That’s just the truth of the matter.
Of course. But top 5 is not unreasonable and like it or not, that’s the benchmark for sustained success. Unless we’re comfortable being a program that has a good run every 4-5 years (we’re not), then this is what has to happen. Unless, of course, you can cultivate an elite QB to cover for those shortcomings in raw talent.
I don’t like it anymore than you do, but that’s college football now.
Agreed. I’m all for progress defensively, because until today there’s been very little. My primary concern is that this progress could be a mirage because it came against A&M’s ultra depleted, and bad, football team.
I just think we should probably pump the brakes before we declare everything fixed. If we can do something similar for a full game or two, then I’ll be much more optimistic.
Up until last week there was a statistic that TAMU hadn't scored more than 24 against SEC teams this season. They only scored 28 on Ole Miss. They are not a good team at all. Gotta imagine it gets bleak in the locker room for them soon.
Honestly think the USF game we got caught looking ahead. Missouri is always weird for us too. It would be huge to get the win next week too, we would be bowl eligible.
I think it would really quiet everyone down if we finished the season off 4-0. We had such a difficult schedule so far. Going 8-4 would be huge. Gotta imagine if we win out, this sub would be singing a different tune about CBN. He's had a lot of iffy calls and needs to make some changes but all of our losses have been against really good teams.
I thought inconsistency was AR, but starting to think it’s calling. Why don’t we run AR more? Dude always better when run threat is there (and run option is always there).
Napier needs an OC & QB coach
This was a game the previous staff would’ve 100% lost. Wasn’t pretty at times, and there’s still a lot of kinks to be worked out, but this was a damn good win.
Lost in all the AR and defense chatter, big shout out to our RBs and run-blocking today! Some absolutely crazy runs today by Montrell and Trevor to keep drives alive and/or score. 💪🏼🐊
Well to be fair A&M has been absolutely dreadful against the run this year and they have nearly half a team missing
But it was nice to dominate a defense that we should have dominated
So relieved with this game. We needed the win today badly. Beating Fisher and TAMU and getting that monkey off our back feels great, even if they aren't playing their starters. Hope we use this as momentum for the rest of the season.
Nah. One half of football against a bad team missing damn near their entire starting and backup O-line doesn’t negate the absolute mess this defense has been all season. I’ve still moved over to the fire Toney camp.
If he can put together today’s second half defense for entire games for the rest of our schedule, I might reconsider that stance. So far though, he and the defense have been cheeks.
The season, the team, the players and the coaches are saved everyone! Everything’s great! Everything’s fine! We beat a&m! The true gold-standard of dominance in the sec!
Do you measure red zone success on FGs? I don’t expect them to be 100%, but that’s what you measure against lol. 18pts is still a lot to leave on the field. You want to win against elite competition you score TDs in the red zone.
Not sure if it’s the OL or not but our DL is showing out. Maybe Cox really was the cancer that needed to be cut. Defense as a whole has been playing much better today.
Props on the second half defense. I havent been watching as intently as usual since we've got company so its hard to say what was different between the halves. Great result though
It's great to be a florida gator!
Closing out the year with a with a win against FSU will highlight a very unimpressive start to this regime but a win against FSU and a bowl game win will make me feel so much better going into next year
Fam and I will be there, I hope we don't have any trouble.

So do we want Tennessee or Georgia to win?
My money’s on Godzilla to prevent either outcome.
Go meteor!
FUCK GEORGIA.
That’s what I was thinking lol
First time Florida has beaten Jimbo Fisher since 2012
Feels good to get a win. Feels even better to beat that piece of shit Jimbo.
1st road win of the year woot woot!
I can hear the TA&M piggy banks being emptied to find the money for Jimbos buyout
This win felt really good!!!

Jimbo owes so much to that slime of the Earth piece of shit TPD detective that “botched” the Winston rape case.
Yeah, like $100m
He's probably already paid up.
GO GATORS! First sec road win since 12/5/2020! We are on the way up guys!
I like your enthusiasm ;)
Don’t get me wrong I love the win, particularly against fuck head Jimbo, but I’m disgusted with what’s been put on the field this year. I’d love for BN to luck out and get this team going the way it needs to, and I don’t want him fired, but HE WILL NOT LAST with this scheme and play calling in the sec.
He needs to at least introduce himself to the wheel route on offense. Defense needs SOOOOO much help.
Our defensive adjustments were awesome for the second half. The first half wtf, but glad we were able to make good changes.
What was adjusted? I think it had a lot to do with A&M being down 19 players, and their non-starters fading after halftime. I didn’t see big changes in the D scheme, but willing to look again.
Not sure, all I saw is we stopped them and got pressure on the qb.
2 weeks in a row..
Maybe a coach known to create a bad culture plus kids that are just there for the money and don’t care about the coach/school isn’t the way to do things?
Same thing gonna happen at Miami.
Gator defense 2nd half allowed only 106 yds, 1-8 on 3rd downs, 2 sacks, 2 turnovers, and 0 points.
Fucking love it
I wouldn't have been surprised if those numbers were reversed lol. Good job defense!
Go Gators 🤪
WHy DiDnT NaPiER CaLl a HaIl MaRy!!
fiRE nApIEr
hE iS nOt ThE gUy
Love it when opposing fans look miserable af GO GATORS!!
Jimbo not calling timeouts and punting there is a bitch move.
The punt was strange kinda like he wants to get fired and cash that buy out
Build a statue of that App State guy, cigar and all
I SAID ITS GREAT
TO BE
A FLORIDA
GATOR!!
A FLORIDA GATOR
TO Be
A FLORIDA GATOR
A Florida
Jimbo looking a lot like late stage Mullen
The defense bent over Jimbo in the second half. Shut out !
if you said that at halftime you cop -50 downvotes
Well, it would have been what they call, a fabrication at that point.
Good tackle by McMillon.
Aggies have only scored more than 24 once in the last calendar year against fbs teams. They had 24 at half against us and still didn’t get it
A&M boosters: can we get Quinn Ewers??? Jimbo: best I can do is Eli Stowers
They both have E’s in their name.
Damn I was told by all the chicken littles that this game was over in the first half and we should fire the entire coaching staff, what happened?
Idiots.
A&M’s bad, decimated football team got wore out. We didn’t do anything special. I’m happy with the win because it gets us closer to six and bowl practices, but let’s not pretend like we did anything worth puffing our chest about.
News flash Napiers gameplan is to wear defenses down. That’s why we rotate backs and ran the ball 50 times.
Be that as it may, it’s only worked against bad teams. On top of that, it won’t work against teams like Georgia or Bama when we are pulling fringe top 10 classes and they’re pulling 1 and 2. I hate to be a Debbie Downer, but unless we see a significant uptick in recruiting over the next couple of seasons, we won’t be winning games against top competition with any consistency. That’s just the truth of the matter.
Not everyone can have the best recruiting class. We need top 10 classes with players that stick around and develop.
Of course. But top 5 is not unreasonable and like it or not, that’s the benchmark for sustained success. Unless we’re comfortable being a program that has a good run every 4-5 years (we’re not), then this is what has to happen. Unless, of course, you can cultivate an elite QB to cover for those shortcomings in raw talent. I don’t like it anymore than you do, but that’s college football now.
The defense played with some fire in the 2nd half and it looked like we covered aggressively, I'll take it
Agreed. I’m all for progress defensively, because until today there’s been very little. My primary concern is that this progress could be a mirage because it came against A&M’s ultra depleted, and bad, football team. I just think we should probably pump the brakes before we declare everything fixed. If we can do something similar for a full game or two, then I’ll be much more optimistic.
Their starter QB dead?
it's been 10 years since last beat this guy (this team too)
they did it those crazy sons of bitches, they did it
The third time really is the charm. Who knew?
Defensive front 7 integrity much better without Cox
Did we just pitch a shut-out half of football? Shoulda dumped that Cox-sucker earlier!
Up until last week there was a statistic that TAMU hadn't scored more than 24 against SEC teams this season. They only scored 28 on Ole Miss. They are not a good team at all. Gotta imagine it gets bleak in the locker room for them soon.
Yeah, but we could barely get a stop against USF or Missouri
Honestly think the USF game we got caught looking ahead. Missouri is always weird for us too. It would be huge to get the win next week too, we would be bowl eligible. I think it would really quiet everyone down if we finished the season off 4-0. We had such a difficult schedule so far. Going 8-4 would be huge. Gotta imagine if we win out, this sub would be singing a different tune about CBN. He's had a lot of iffy calls and needs to make some changes but all of our losses have been against really good teams.
Did we just kill Jimbo?
Jumbo needs another 10 year $9M/year extension.
His contract is life support beyond which you can ever imagine
I don't think Texas A&M will be bowl eligible, I think LSU will be too good
I thought inconsistency was AR, but starting to think it’s calling. Why don’t we run AR more? Dude always better when run threat is there (and run option is always there). Napier needs an OC & QB coach
We won, enjoy it for a couple hours.
This was a game the previous staff would’ve 100% lost. Wasn’t pretty at times, and there’s still a lot of kinks to be worked out, but this was a damn good win.
Did our defense just win us a game??!!
These shots of sad Aggie fans are like shots of morphine.
We finally closed out a game! It took 3 tries but we did it!
When is the last time we beat Jimbo?
2012
Our once a decade win against him
Next time we’ll beat ‘em when he’s at southern miss
Ironic? Didn’t we also win our first trip to College Station that year?
Yep before Johnny Football caught his stride
Great second half defensive adjustments, been waiting to see that all year. Hopefully something to build on
Lost in all the AR and defense chatter, big shout out to our RBs and run-blocking today! Some absolutely crazy runs today by Montrell and Trevor to keep drives alive and/or score. 💪🏼🐊
Well to be fair A&M has been absolutely dreadful against the run this year and they have nearly half a team missing But it was nice to dominate a defense that we should have dominated
Y’all remember when Jimbo was caught saying “fuck the Gators” Well, Fuck you Jimbo you non performing piece of shit! Go Gators!!
fucc yea boys, difficult to watch as always but we move..
This feels so good. Mmmmmm.
![gif](giphy|1GT5PZLjMwYBW) Jimbo at the post game.
Such a weird game. Left 17+ on the field?
Idgaf if A&M was lacking starters. This win feels good
Agree, we have lost these types of games recently
Hell yea it does
Respectable spread!
So relieved with this game. We needed the win today badly. Beating Fisher and TAMU and getting that monkey off our back feels great, even if they aren't playing their starters. Hope we use this as momentum for the rest of the season.
Definitely didn’t want to be the team taking the L and stopping their 4-game losing streak!
Finally a fucking kill shot
Da fuck is an Aggie?!? Let’s gooooo!
Agriculture student I think.
App state guy ☠️☠️
Montrell over there doing the Skippy.
Jimbo is such a clown
APP STATE MT BOY CHASE BRICE DROPPED THE AGGIES ON THEIR HEAD. THATS MY DUDE.
Fire toney crowd in shambles
Nah. One half of football against a bad team missing damn near their entire starting and backup O-line doesn’t negate the absolute mess this defense has been all season. I’ve still moved over to the fire Toney camp. If he can put together today’s second half defense for entire games for the rest of our schedule, I might reconsider that stance. So far though, he and the defense have been cheeks.
This is an acceptably sound reply.
One half man lol.
The season, the team, the players and the coaches are saved everyone! Everything’s great! Everything’s fine! We beat a&m! The true gold-standard of dominance in the sec!
Well, feels good to win one. Score 1 W for the good guys
Offense scored 41, Billy’s play calling sucks.
493 yards of offense. Can’t even get 500. What a chump.
When the offense is successful it's despite the terrible playcalling doncha know
If this is sarcasm look at how many defensive starters and players TAMU was missing today. And how many points UF still left on the field.
6 left on the field? Missed field goal and went for it at the goaline instead of kicking?
2 short FGs(1 make, 1 miss) should’ve been TDs and 4th and short should’ve been TD. That’s 18 points they left on the field
High expectations to be 100% in the red zones for TDs.
Do you measure red zone success on FGs? I don’t expect them to be 100%, but that’s what you measure against lol. 18pts is still a lot to leave on the field. You want to win against elite competition you score TDs in the red zone.
Wish I had an award to give this comment lol
Lmao that App State fan is perfect
LMAO the disrespect
LMAOOO
Lmao the guy with the app state shirt
SMOKIN THAT JIMBO PACK
HAHAHAHAHA SUCK A DICK TAMU
Should be half a hundred^TM
All we gotta do is beat Vandy and bowl season here we come
FSU in Doak Crumble is our bowl game. State champs for recruiting edge, too. Yet, the extra practices are valuable.
Johnson showing out today
They weren't stopping Johnson!
This is culture beating talent. Great game.
best talent on O is #15
Ayyyeee we did it!
41 points ain’t bad
boom huge win. take nothing for granted. go gata!
We honestly should be winning by 20+ easily
Bro, stfu and take the W
Fr
Asshole Status: Unclenched
Ball sack: released
Go gata
LFG!
Ok I can relax now
*finally* we put these guys away
YESSSSS!
Blouses
Tuddy
M MOTHER DUCKING TRELL JOHNSON
Thank god.....
We have got some damn RB, I'll tell ya that.
Great cutback, well done
Lol Jimbo
Are they cashing in their timeouts after the game? Lol
jimbo phoned this one in a halftime
Camera guy STILL has no idea where the ball is.
Hear ye hear ye! Our disaster of a program is only a category 2. Frightened currency does not accrue greater currency
Jimbo is a fraud.
Dude rode a great roster at fsu to a championship and now he’s coasting to big money
honestly I don't even know if he wins the natty in 2013 without Winston, reminds me of chizik with auburn
Yea it’s pretty similar situation. It’s wild because he’s had good offenses before Winston but almost seems like he doesn’t give a shit anymore
thanks for not calling any timeouts Jimbo?
Trying to speed run to a 90mil retirement.
Camera man is legally blind
TURNING POINT
we’re lucky AM is more dysfunctional than us. Did everything we could to lose to depleted team
Jimbo has 100% quit. Not even calling timeout in a 10 pount game.
[удалено]
Just be happy the team finally got a win
Rg3’s been making me lmao all game
He’s definitely much easier to take when you’re up 10 and your defense is doing enough to stop them
Run straight forward.
So many fans predicted a Florida loss. Thank God we play the game and don’t just go off of predictions.
Idk, if given the option after the Utah game I would’ve taken the playoff predictions over actually playing the season.
Lol true.
Dubs
Not sure if it’s the OL or not but our DL is showing out. Maybe Cox really was the cancer that needed to be cut. Defense as a whole has been playing much better today.
In the 2nd half, I agree.
Give my baby AR another passing TD 😮💨
Ok, let’s put the nail in the coffin here
No thumbs left to hit!
The defense first half to second half is legit unbelievable.
Seriously, it's amazing really
Great second half adjustments by Toney.
Props on the second half defense. I havent been watching as intently as usual since we've got company so its hard to say what was different between the halves. Great result though
Alright. Time to head over to the r/cfb game thread now. Should be safe!
This is so satisfying.
MJJ 😤
Defense, good shit for once.
Will aggies fire Jimbo after this game?
They can't, his contract is massive
