My heart is heavy today. God called home the nicest person I’ve ever known - my sweet Mom. I was her only child. From age 14, she was my only parent. I am so incredibly blessed to be this magnificent woman’s son. Rest in Christ’s peace, Rose Patti Frangie.

UF, Bama played 4 like opponents: LSU, Aub, Tenn., S Car. UF was 3-1, Bama 2-2.
UF’s best other foe: 11-1 Ga. Bama’s: 7-5 Tex A&M.
UF’s best win: 9-3 Auburn. Bama’s: A&M.
UF beat 2 non conf. bowl teams: UM, FSU. Bama beat 1: Southern Miss.
You decide.

FSU lost a game. And in the process, might have just found their football program.
Fantastic effort. Fantastic game.

I’ve been in the media since 1981. I’m not sure I’ve covered a more standup guy than Blake Bortles. Never ducked an interview, never made excuses, never chippy, never blamed others. Took criticism like a man. Best wishes to a genuinely good guy.

Consider this: that Auburn defense played every team in the SEC West, played Clemson, played Georgia twice, and never allowed a team to get to 30 points. Clemson, Bama & Georgia first time scored 14, 14, 17. UCF just hung 34 & missed 2 chip shot FGs.

Obviously, FSU has far more 5-Star recruits than UF. And far more 4-Star recruits than UF. And a returning QB who was really good two years ago under Jimbo. ... And the Gators took the Noles to the woodshed on FSU’s field. That HAS to be coaching.

Dameon Pierce last night - 27 rushes for 139 yards against best team in the NFL.
His 678 rushing yds are 4th in NFL - behind Nick Chubb, Saquon Barkley, Derrick Henry.
Last year at UF, he never started a game, averaged 7 carries per game.
Enjoy your day.

Doug Pederson inherited team w back-to-back 1st overall picks - meaning worst team in NFL 2 years running.
In one year, took them to a division title, a playoff win, was one of last 8 standing.
Of course he should have been coach of the year.
That is all.

Quick thoughts:
* Unlike Utah game, UF looked really well-coached. Good game plans, play-calling, discipline.
* Defense is legit. Big, fast, deep, well-coached by Armstrong. Best D in long time.
* Trevor Etienne. Wow.
* Mertz is pretty dang good. …

Some of my proudest moments are walking into a broadcast booth with that Jaguars logo on my chest. Calling these games is the greatest honor of my career. If a guy doesn’t want to be on this team, doesn’t want to wear that logo any more, then good riddance.

So who was better tonight? Jones or Trask?
Jones: 418 yds, 5 TDs, 1 int
Trask: 408 yds, 4 TDs (1 rush) 0 int
Jones had few more yards, 1 more TD & won.
But Trask did it against better defense & without threat of running game.
No wrong answer. That close.

The Jags are really freaking good. Skilled, tough, well-coached. Damn they’re good.

Today stings.
But the journey has been amazing. What a ride. And the future is so bright it is practically blinding.
Thank you, Jags, for where you’ve taken us this year. And for where we’re all headed together.

UF freshman pitcher Carsten Finnvold just threw 9 innings, never threw a pitch over 81 mph, lived mostly in the 70s, didn’t walk a batter, didn’t strike out many, and totally dominated red hot Oklahoma team.
A guy who knows how to pitch. What a joy to watch.

Florida blows out S. Carolina 38-6. Gamecocks only points on fake punt. Gator defense shuts them out.
In two following weeks:
* S. Carolina scores 94 pts in beating beats top 10 teams Tenn. & Clemson.
* UF allows 76 pts in losses to Vandy & FSU.
Sports.

Final UF thought: other than natty year, maybe Sully’s best coaching job.
Lost Langford, Rivera, Riopelle, Halter, Sproat, Waldrep. Then Evans, Slater get hurt. That’s 8 guys who led team to CWS top 2.
With all gone, still made CWS top 3.
Pretty dang good.

I think SEC/ACC/Big 12 players now will be safer from COVID than Big 10/PAC 12.
Why? Because they will:
1) Be tested more
2) Be monitored more closely
3) Have curfews
4) Be less likely to go to bars/parties because they have a game
5) Be more accountable

Dan Mullen inherited a 4-win team. The Gators have won 21 games in his two years. That is all.

Guts. That’s my take. Tons of storylines - Minshew, Fournette, Lambo, Harrison’s pick. Others. We’ll talk about em all. But for now - I’ll take a team that just was too freaking gutsy to lose. Damn that was good. Man I’m jacked.
23

Gigantic win for Gators.
Doesn’t matter that S. Carolina is 2-4. Doesn’t matter that UF’s defense wasn’t very good.
You have to walk before you run. Had to win. On the road. Somehow.
5-2. 3-1 in SEC.
Really big win.

Woke up with a final thought: Jags fans are awesome.
From Tony’s trip to Canton, to going to home & away games to those cheering from home, you are the greatest fan base.
I’ve never seen SO much Jags gear.
Thanks for listening, watching, caring.
You rock.

I preferred Sunday because that’s what Jags preferred.
But can you imagine scene this week? On a Saturday night? At the Bank? In THIS town? For the division? Vs. the Titans?

Let’s go!

Primary postgame thought: Man, is Dan Mullen good. Sheesh is he good.
Alex Smith, Chris Leak, Tim Tebow, Dak Prescott. Then Feleipe Franks (9 TD-8 INT before Mullen, 24-6 w him).
Now Trask, who hadn’t started a game since 9th grade. How good is he now? Wow.

I truly didn’t care who won the Vikings-Saints game. I didn’t care who won last year’s Patriots-Chiefs game. But the NFL OT plan is one of the worst in all of sports. Both offenses HAVE to get a chance. Really bad rule.
51
67
717
All in all thought Gators played about as well as they could. LSU clearly had better team, way better trenches, was at home, UF lost both DEs, yet were right there. Really battled. Mullen overthought it a few times, but called very good game. LSU just better.
43

707
Thoughts:
* Great win because I believe Utah is very good.
* AR. Enough said. Wow.
* Trevor Etienne. Wow. Montrell Johnson, too.
* UF still lacks dudes on defense, but this staff has em playing like hair is on fire.
* UF very well-coached. Great win.
23

705
In Jags’ history, I’m not sure there’s been a more anticipated player debut than Nick Foles. That’s why that figurative punch to our guts feels so real. Minshew looked very good, defense will bounce back, the sky isn’t falling. But man it just feels cruel.
45
74
674
THAT … was a great win.
8-3. Seven of last eight. Two-game lead in division.
What a battle of terrific young quarterbacks.
Is Josh Allen any good?

Minshew wasn’t perfect, fumbled too much, I know. But man with that guy you’re always in the game. Always. What a blast watching him play, calling these games he’s in, etc. Just a blast. This one stung, but that dude is gonna hang a bunch of Ws. Just sayin.

I wanted Jags to bring in receivers who have caught tons of passes. Don’t care about size or 40 times, just are they GOOD AT FOOTBALL?
Kirk, Engram, Jones have combined in NFL for 669 catches, 7618 Yds, 44 TDs.
All are 27 or younger.
THAT is tremendous.

College football — what a job by Mike Norvell with the Noles. Inherited a mess, a program without great funding, players bailing and fans giving up hope, and in three years has them undefeated through four games and ranked in the AP poll. THAT is coaching. …

I’ll tell you this: Mullen is a Spurrier-level play-caller. Spurrier-level. About as high a compliment as I can give.

Are you kidding me???? They had the ball at their own 31 with 1:04 to play in a tie game and they played for overtime?
I’ve NEVER seen that! What in the world?

Man were we having a blast! What a night. What a freaking night.

A 21-point win. On the road. In the SEC. Offense scores 38. QB goes 26-for-35 for 383 yards and 3 TDs with 0 ints. Backup throws another TD.
And somehow it felt underwhelming.
I suppose that is a sign your team is pretty good.

We lost David Lamm today, a very sad day.
We worked together 3 places, traveled together, laughed together. He hired me. Man did he help me.
Jay Solomon, David, Greg Larson were our sports radio pioneers. I was the tag along in this story years ago.
Rest easy, Uncle Dave.

Random note to those patient, awesome Jags fans:
Cardinals, Bills, Bengals & Chargers did not have good teams. Then they drafted good, strong-armed, smart, athletic, tough QBs.
Now, suddenly, they all have very good teams.
It’s coming.
Have a good day.

Kyle Trask is having greatest QB season in UF history.
* Spurrier, Wuerffel, Tebow won Heismans. Grossman should’ve.
* Matthews (twice), Bell were SEC POY.
* Leak is leading passer in UF history.
Trask’s year is better than all of em. Think about that.

Michigan, like many teams, had NFL-hopeful guys sit out bowl to avoid injury. Business decisions. Protecting dollars. I totally get it. But how much money did Chauncey Gardner-Johnson MAKE by playing? Huge game had to help his draft position. Just wondering.

Shows what I know. Very surprised.
For FSU, man.
Scheduled 2 SEC blue bloods, beat both. Won at Clemson and in the Swamp. Won every game. Won ACC game. Went 13-0.

Before I left for game, my wife - and dog - pulled out her $20 radio she uses to listen to the game.
Never watches on TV. Thinks it will mess up the mojo. Insists if she never turns it off, never changes routine, good things eventually will happen.

UF post-game thread. Lots of thoughts:

His eye for talent and ability to attract it is legit. We’ve already seen that. …

The Jags might just be pretty damn good. I know they lost, I know it’s early. We’ll see.

I really like this group.

Honestly, I don’t blame Emory Jones. The kid is trying, doing the best he can.
But if the University of Florida football program - with 85 scholarships to give and 4 QBs on one - keeps running him out there - it deserves to get smoked by UCF.
52

UF program is broken. Thread:
* 2-8 last 10 vs Power 5.
* 2-5 in SEC.

* Coach stubborn, chippy. Recruits decommitting. Fans are furious. …

I thought this was pretty cool.

Thoughts:
• Rookie class is very good. Henderson, Chaisson, Shenault, Johnson, Robinson, Hamilton, Claybrooks all contributed.
• Minshew really knows how to play.
• Team has a toughness, grittiness to it. Product of good, close locker room.
Fun bunch

Morning advice to UF fans: Take time to enjoy this guard combination of Zyon Pullin and Walter Clayton Jr. Pairs like this don’t come along often.
Cross & Brown. Taurean & Lee H. Wilbekin & Frazier. Gators have had a few.
But these two. Man, just so good.

I’ve defended Grantham. Other than last year, defenses were fine. But this hard to defend.
LSU, bad rushing team, found ONE play - line up TE inside tackle, pull the guard - and UF never adjusted. No run blitzes, stacked lines, nothing.
Hard to understand.

I know it’s been a tough year and it was only one game.

Today is the first birthday my sweet mom will spend in Heaven. She would have been 89. Guessing later today she will be making lasagna for the angels and making sure the Gator game is on. Happy Birthday, Mom. Love you.

The Gators are defending champs, have been to Omaha four straight seasons, have been to the Final Four three of the last four seasons. Digest that for a moment. What a program. And not letting up.
