    Let's regroup... on to Toledo

    The good news - Toledo hasn't ran the ball well at all vs inferior teams. Hopefully our defense can gain a little confidence before Florida. Toledo has stopped the run well. I wanna see us be physical this week. If we can est the running game at all, our big play passing game could be really dangerous.

    I thought we made a few adjustments in the 2nd half(walking a LB down, gang tackling, filling gaps) that slowed them down in the 2nd half. It will also be good to get Dinkins, Anderson, and Taylor back. We need the DL depth.

    I don't expect the defense to improve much. We just don't have the players available. We need the OL/RB play to improve. If it improves, we will at least score points.

    I disagree. We should win Toledo and UMass. The Fla game will be a battle

    If we don't improve our tackling all else is a moot point

    That?s fine, I think the second half team last night beats Florida and we theoretically should get better on offense every game while D can?t get any worse than whatever we did first half last night. Florida has AM next week and might get blown out and have players check out rest of the season

    I don't see us beating FL right now. I need to see their new QB next week first.

    We will have to play MUCH better to beat Florida. Napier wants to run the ball, especially with a big QB who can run. We are going to have our hands full. Having it at home will help, but the crowd will have to be in it and stay in it. And unfortunately, I have seen our 11 AM crowds and they generally leave a lot to be desired.

    We need Dinkins, Deonte and Taylor to get healthy enough to rotate in at least. I know they're band aids but I will take all the help we can get.

    Heard any ETA on when they're supposed to be back?

    Deonte and Taylor should be back this week. I would expect Dinkins is out til AT LEAST Florida but maybe a little longer.

    Someone said it already but the focus on tackling and being violent at the point of attack on both lines must improve. We don't need 5 stars to be violent or have sounds tackling skills. That coaching and it needs to change yesterday. That game is very different if those two issues were not issues.

    Watched the highlights of Toledo V Umass. Bored....
    0,1,2 (WR) for Toledo are fast. 0 took a kickoff back 95+ yards.
    32 (RB) looks health and runs hard.... seen that in 4 from ASU.
    4 (QB was 8/23 175 3 TD
    Umass did move the ball pretty good.
    QB was 26/40 256 1 & 1. 44yds rushing
    Umass had 384 yds 259p - 125R
    Toledo has 258 yds 175P - 83R

    Umass moved the ball just didnt score.
    Love All Worship One!
