Where did all the Troy vs FL talk go?

[missippihog]

Seems to me that many on here were boasting of how we would see how bad the hogs really were when FL blew out Troy. If not for a token TD at the end of the game, FL beats Troy by 1 point more than the hogs. I don't think we are a bad team like some on here would have us believe. What say you?

we don't have a bad team at all.

In fact we might have the most speed in the SEC.

We just have crappy coaches. We have crappy offensive coaches that don't have a dad gum clue when it comes to putting together balanced offenses to go with our all world running game.

I listened to fox radio last night at the florida game and he said the same thing we said after the game, Our secondary looks horrible.  So I think we will be alright.

It's pointless to try and compare...

Florida did have to put their starters back in the game, late in the second half...  Troy will win the Sunbelt again, and there's no reason to belittle the Trojans by comparing margins of victory...

Secondary always seems to make the most progress during the season to me. I guess it just takes some time to get back up to speed and get coverage right.

Neither do I, both teams did just enough to get the win, neither AR or Fla. showed all their offense against Troy.

Should be a good game. Wish we could have seen the AState Mem game last night.

Are you really that ignorant as to what transpired, or are you just such a Razorbacks homer (Simpson) that you aren't aware that the Gators played their 2nd AND 3rd teamers most (if not the entire) second half???

Nuttless, on the other hand played his starters (on BOTH sides of the ball) for almost the entire game.

Comparing Arkansas to Florida this year is beyond silly!

Yeah but sometimes they are played with 2nd team offense and defense players

Wrong.  Tim Tebow scored on a 16 yard td run in the 4th quarter, Troy was not playing the 2nd & 3rd teamers until late in the 4th quarter.

Not that it matters but the Florida starters were until late in the fourth quarter. This was confirmed last night and led to the demise of the threads discussing score comparisons.

The way I understand it, Florida's starters were in there just as long, if not longer than ours were. I'm not sure why people think their second and third teamers were in the game. I know their offensive starters were in there until well into the fourth quarter. It doesn't make sense to me that they'd have guys like Tebow and Harvin out there in the third and fourth quarter, but send out their second or third team defense, especially since defense is one of the areas Florida needs to work on.

Wrong.  Tim Tebow scored on a 16 yard td run in the 4th quarter, Troy was not playing the 2nd & 3rd teamers until late in the 4th quarter.

I'm sure after going into the half up 49-7, Meyer continued to scheme, make adjustments, and fire up the Gators to continue that same onslaught for the second half.  There was no drop off of intensity or level of play from the gators, they wanted to score 100.

You and mississippi take what you will from this game and I'll take what I believe to be worthy from the game.  I, however, can be objective and see college football with out nutt covered lenses.

I'm not taking anything from the game, I'm stating a fact, Hogules incorrectly stated that Florida played their 2nd and 3rd teamers which is not true.  Florida's starters were in until late in the 4th, I know that pi$$es some of you off but it's the truth.

[LA Football fan]

Tell me again, at what point was Troy within a touchdown of taking the lead after the 1st quarter.  Florida had complete control of the game, the entire game.  There was never any doubt who was going to win the game.  There was plenty of doubt about the Hogs winning until the 4th quarter.  Arkansas finally took control of the game but not nearly as early as they should have.   Alabama will have a lot better athletes up front than Troy and it will not be so easy to just line up and run at them.  If our passing game does not improve drastically, it will be a long day in Tuscaloosa.  We will not have the luxury of relying solely on the running game to win.

Finally post in this thread that makes sense.  You get up on a team 49-7 at the half what in the hell are you supposed to do come out of the locker room fired up and pissed off ?
Arkansas-Troy and Florida-Troy were two completely different  football games. Anybody who can't see that has never been on a football field of if they were they didn't know what in the hell was going on.

Troy did make halftime adjustments that changed the second half (should have made them much earlier). Florida used a drag route throughout the first half. Troy shut it down in the second half. They also got a ton of pressure on Tebow due to shutting down the open route and by keep containment and/or getting into the backfield. He wasn't as successful with his option run in the second half. Troy basically stopped it but couldn't always keep containment on him on a busted passing play. Troy's second half defense started putting tremendously hard hits on Florida which led to some turnovers.

Honestly, Florida looked as scared and beat down in the second half as Troy looked to start the game. Between Troy's defense waking up and Troy's offense keeping Florida confused, the game totally flip-flopped from half to half.

Not sure if you understand how that many points were put up by Florida at the half- Troy had two blocked punts, shanked another, gave two turnovers, and allowed two big returns. Florida's average starting field position was inside the Troy 40.

I would be nervous as a Florida fan with Meyer keeping Tebow on the field all game.

sure but if the Hogs had been ahead 49-7 at half instead of Florida I am sure the point would have been made many times on here that when that happens there is naturally going to be a let down in the second half...........

I think two things.....

Comparing scores doesnt necessarily mean a whole lot...

Florida's win was the more impressive win because of their  first half dominance.

Point taken on the offensive side of the ball.
Defensively, Florida is young at most postions. Still they have the talent to sub in games like this. Though an overall look at the defense at any given time looks like the starters, varing postions are subbed to give experience. Meyer, Saban, etc. that have the fertile recruiting fields can do this. It gives them quality depth down the road.

That's actually a bit misleading.  We had similar yardage amounts, we just settled for field goals a few times.  We also didn't have Marcus Monk.

[Table Rocker]

Seems to me that many on here were boasting of how we would see how bad the hogs really were when FL blew out Troy. If not for a token TD at the end of the game, FL beats Troy by 1 point more than the hogs. I don't think we are a bad team like some on here would have us believe. What say you?

it was gone, until you started a brand new thread about it, thanks.

[OKhogfan1959]

I think we're a lot closer to Florida in talent than most most on here believe.

Last time I witnessed us playing them we were very comparable and if not for a bad special teams play and a crazy 4th down conversion we would have won that game. I mean look back at that game and Urban Myer going for that 4th down and very long was a crazy chance to take.

The score was 35-7 at the half and ballooned to 42-7 at one point.

How do you get that it mirrored the Hog game where the score was much closer at the half?
