Very true!  I think that’s the point to all this is to lower your expectations. 
 The QB play and OL line play are far from where we need them to be to compete 
against the championships teams.  I’ve definitely lowered mine.  I know we are 
going nowhere with Franks as QB and Trask is a QB, that Meyer or Spurrier would 
have never recruited in the first place.  We’re waiting for Emory Jones to 
develop and Coach Mullen doesn’t play freshman QBs from what I’ve read.  

 

Go Gators!

How to define what happened during the 2018 Florida spring game


Posted on

After the 2018 Orange and Blue Debut, Dan Mullen said that he just wanted to 
bring fun back to Florida football.

Maybe I’m old. Maybe I had unrealistic expectations. But what I watched on 
Saturday afternoon wasn’t much fun. It was barely football.

I was expecting a fireworks show with QBs throwing deep to all of the wide 
receiver weapons we’ve heard so much about all offseason. Instead, I saw QBs 
who didn’t look much different than they did a year or two ago. I saw offensive 
linemen consistently struggling in pass protection. I saw busted coverages by 
linebackers on tight ends that ended up in touchdowns.

The only players who caught anything deep were alums who last played for 
Florida before any of the current players were born.

With apologies to Lawrence Wright and Travis McGriff, I didn’t tune in to watch 
a legends game. I tuned in to see a preview of the explosive offense I was 
promised when Scott Stricklin whiffed on Chip Kelly and brought in Mullen to 
restore the Florida program.

Many –  

 including me – have bought into that vision for the program. But for a program 
that has struggled so much offensively, the entire vibe on offense was just 
tone deaf.

I want games in The Swamp to be spectacles. But this was a circus.

While the deep throws to former players were puzzling, I think the events of 
the day were best exemplified by QB Feleipe Franks “60 yard” run for a TD. 
Defensive back Quincy Lenton clearly had Franks in his sights about 10 yards 
downfield and slowed down. Then DBs McArthur Burnett and Trey Dean* caught up 
to Franks at the 15 yard line (enough to grab his jersey) but he was given the 
TD anyway.

Then Franks kicked the ball up into the stands and celebrated like he had just 
scored the game winner against LSU.

Some may try to say this was just having fun. They may tell you that the 
environment under the previous regime was so bad that Mullen had to do 
something to lighten the mood. They may tell you that this was about the fans, 
former players and recruits having a good time. They may be right.

But I think it was embarrassing. It was  

 Butch Jones trash-can level bad. I half expected Mullen to come out in his 
postgame press conference and proclaim that it was part of building the program 
 

 “brick by brick.”

Mullen has repeatedly spoken about the “Gator standard” way of doing things. 
One of the reasons I thought he understood that standard was that the SEC East 
championship signs came down almost immediately after he was hired. It 
indicated that the days of participation trophies were over.

But maybe we need to define what the Gator standard is a little bit clearer. 
It’s pretty simple: winning.

You are correct, Woody. I replied to his tweet when he sent this blog out.
He admitted he was probably being a little too over critical.
The players didn’t even line up with the squads they had practiced with through 
the spring.
Of course the offensive line was having trouble. Of course the quarterbacks 
were a little disjointed.
What? The off-the-sidelines pass to McGriff isn’t going to be in the fall play 
package?
There were plenty of positives in that scrimmage. A team having fun after years 
of misery and 53,000+ fans in attendance.
That’s pretty good!

Re: [gatortalk] Re: [gatornews] How to define what happened during the 2018 Florida spring game

[Rob Alexander]

That's exactly what I was thinking. These kids worked hard this Spring, but of 
course they have a long way to go with completely new schemes on offense and 
defense. It's ridiculous to think they would be ready to look to genuinely 
impressive this soon. Equally important to the football learning they did this 
Spring is that, after being emotionally battered and bruised last year, they 
really needed to see football as fun again. Good for Mullen for setting high 
standards, teaching effectively, returning enthusiasm into the program, and 
still letting them have a fun day at the end. The team looked like the weight 
of the world had been removed from their shoulders, and that is exactly what I 
would want heading into the long summer workouts where individuals need to be 
self-motivated. I'm as anxious as anyone to finally see some offense again, but 
realistically... let's see where we are about mid-way through next season and 
then decide whether we seem to be on a good trajectory.

How to define what happened during the 2018 Florida spring game
Posted on April 15, 20184





After the 2018 Orange and Blue Debut, Dan Mullen said that he just wanted to 
bring fun back to Florida football.

Maybe I’m old. Maybe I had unrealistic expectations. But what I watched on 
Saturday afternoon wasn’t much fun. It was barely football.

I was expecting a fireworks show with QBs throwing deep to all of the wide 
receiver weapons we’ve heard so much about all offseason. Instead, I saw QBs 
who didn’t look much different than they did a year or two ago. I saw offensive 
linemen consistently struggling in pass protection. I saw busted coverages by 
linebackers on tight ends that ended up in touchdowns.

The only players who caught anything deep were alums who last played for 
Florida before any of the current players were born.

With apologies to Lawrence Wright and Travis McGriff, I didn’t tune in to watch 
a legends game. I tuned in to see a preview of the explosive offense I was 
promised when Scott Stricklin whiffed on Chip Kelly and brought in Mullen to 
restore the Florida program.

Many – including me – have bought into that vision for the program. But for a 
program that has struggled so much offensively, the entire vibe on offense was 
just tone deaf.

I want games in The Swamp to be spectacles. But this was a circus.

While the deep throws to former players were puzzling, I think the events of 
the day were best exemplified by QB Feleipe Franks “60 yard” run for a TD. 
Defensive back Quincy Lenton clearly had Franks in his sights about 10 yards 
downfield and slowed down. Then DBs McArthur Burnett and Trey Dean* caught up 
to Franks at the 15 yard line (enough to grab his jersey) but he was given the 
TD anyway.

Then Franks kicked the ball up into the stands and celebrated like he had just 
scored the game winner against LSU.

Some may try to say this was just having fun. They may tell you that the 
environment under the previous regime was so bad that Mullen had to do 
something to lighten the mood. They may tell you that this was about the fans, 
former players and recruits having a good time. They may be right.

But I think it was embarrassing. It was Butch Jones trash-can level bad. I half 
expected Mullen to come out in his postgame press conference and proclaim that 
it was part of building the program “brick by brick.”

Mullen has repeatedly spoken about the “Gator standard” way of doing things. 
One of the reasons I thought he understood that standard was that the SEC East 
championship signs came down almost immediately after he was hired. It 
indicated that the days of participation trophies were over.

But maybe we need to define what the Gator standard is a little bit clearer. 
It’s pretty simple: winning.

>has finished the year unranked 4 times.  Those teams have averaged 24.0 points 
>per game and an offensive ranking of 92.9.

I saw nothing on Saturday that was building towards the former kind of offense 
or level of winning. It was a waste of a practice and a waste of time.

I spoke with multiple people that I know who were there. They showed up 
expecting to be excited about the direction the program was headed. Instead, 
they left wondering whether the staff felt the only way to generate excitement 
was to do so artificially.

When UCF claimed a National Championship after defeating Auburn this past 
season, my reaction was that it was ridiculous. But I understood what they were 
doing and even appreciated how their marketing efforts kept the school in the 
news and the national consciousness.

But that kind of behavior is beneath Florida. It’s why I’ve settled on the word 
unbecoming to describe the spring game. This is an elite, blue-blood program.

It shouldn’t require gimmicks to make the game fun.

*An earlier version of this article identified Joseph Putu instead of Trey Dean 
as one of the defensive backs who had an opportunity to tackle Franks. I 
apologize for the mistake.

[Shane Ford]

Very true!  I think that’s the point to all this is to lower your expectations. 
 The QB play and OL line play are far from where we need them to be to compete 
against the championships teams.  I’ve definitely lowered mine.  I know we are 
going nowhere with Franks as QB and Trask is a QB, that Meyer or Spurrier would 
have never recruited in the first place.  We’re waiting for Emory Jones to 
develop and Coach Mullen doesn’t play freshman QBs from what I’ve read.  

Go Gators!

You know something we haven’t seen yet? Transfers! Not one player appears to be 
upset with his position with the team now.

On the contrary, they took up what was promised to be the toughest off season 
conditioning program they had ever seen!

Nobody quit.

This team is coming together as a team. That’s what Mullen did at Mississippi

a legends game. I tuned in to see a preview of the explosive offense I was 
promised when Scott Stricklin whiffed on Chip Kelly and brought in Mullen to 
restore the Florida program.

Many –  

 including me – have bought into that vision for the program. But for a program 
that has struggled so much offensively, the entire vibe on offense was just 
tone deaf.

I want games in The Swamp to be spectacles. But this was a circus.

While the deep throws to former players were puzzling, I think the events of 
the day were best exemplified by QB Feleipe Franks “60 yard” run for a TD. 
Defensive back Quincy Lenton clearly had Franks in his sights about 10 yards

And hopefully they all bought in to the extent that they are going to
behave themselves. No suspensions for the first game. Would that be a
record?

[gatortalk] Fwd: [gatornews] [SUN]: The Back Nine: UF’s Run of Ineptitude is over

[Oliver Barry]

What a day Saturday! I was watching Peggy Porter too! And, as much baseball, 
softball, and football as I could stand right on into the evening. 
11. We often take for granted how well the University Athletic Association runs 
things even though we only hear from people who didn’t like where they had to 
park or how hot it was. But to pull off what the UAA did Saturday was the mark 
of a stellar organization, something they have done before. You had women’s 
tennis playing for the SEC title and that place was packed (I went for a bit), 
you had doubleheaders caused by Sunday’s weather in both baseball and softball, 
you had lacrosse playing at home at the same time as softball ACROSS THE STREET 
and you had more than 50,000 people at the spring game. So if you didn’t have 
anything to do Saturday, why are you reading a column about sports? Everything 
I saw went off without a major problem and I wouldn’t be surprised to see that 
North Lawn experience grow (with the beer garden included) next season and 
continue to expand until it pretty much becomes a version of the Grove in 
Oxford. Just don’t tell Scott Stricklin I made that comparison. He still has 
some Mississippi State blood in him. Stricklin was all over the place Saturday 
and the fans seemed to appreciate his presence.

 I'm available... and for beer, I would be your friend.
Back to the thread, despite what the journalistic buffon thinks (not Woody, the 
original author.  HAHA!) the highly rated recruits ALL seemed to enjoy it.  Say 
what you want, Mullen seems to get that he has to run this and do things that 
THEY like and he hopes you like the results.  I don't love his ideas on new 
uniforms and mixing that up, but if the kids want it and it puts a SEC champion 
on the field, can't we all watch those awful gator print uniforms once a year?

And hopefully they all bought in to the extent that they are going to behave 
themselves. No suspensions for the first game. Would that be a record?

You know something we haven’t seen yet? Transfers! Not one player appears to be

On the contrary, they took up what was promised to be the toughest off season 
conditioning program they had ever seen!

Nobody quit.

This team is coming together as a team. That’s what Mullen did at Mississippi 
State. That’s what he’s accomplishing at Florida.

If he can get players to improve their skills and to play with abandon, we will 
see a winning program again.

I think Mullen had the right idea. Let the players have fun--get them pumped up 
and motivated for all the hard work they are going to have to do this summer in 
the weight room.

He also made his distaste for Mullen very obvious when he made the "whiffed on 
Chip Kelly" comment.  He was in no way ready to give Mullen a fair shake.
