Great overall game. I will give some positives and some challenges.
Positives
1. The O line looked great. UF was playing a Bear front on a lot of snaps and we still pushed them back. The RB’s and the QB had time to toggle around in the backfield prior to contact.
2. Wards demeanor and pocket presence is off the chart. The team takes on the personality of its leader and he stayed calm. Also he toyed with UF’s D line in the pocket.
3. Harris played up to his athleticism.
4. How deep the interior DL was. We knew that there were numbers at edge but the likes of Moten and Horton made us realize that the interior is deep also.
5. OJ Fedrique is a stud. They simply didn’t throw his way. Who doesn’t test a freshman in his first start; someone that realized early in the game that he was a stud.
Challenges
1. Easily solved because it was the first game but we didn’t seem to manage the first half from the side lines. Blew 3 timeouts.
2. Ward was a little off. First game rhythm issues I guess. He clearly showed that he was a stud.
3. Special Teams was average at best.
