Can Florida Gators Pass-Rush Continue DOMINANCE from Texas Longhorns Upset?

Find all my written work about the Florida Gators at swampsignal.substack.com. And I know that the Florida Gators pass rush, they really feel like they came alive against Texas, right? It, it was belt, belt, belt.

It was fun.

Not g- not gonna pretend it wasn't fun.

Um, but, and, and I, I wrote this in the film study article that came out earlier today, um, that game and the way that the pass rush dominated and the way that Florida played so aggressively felt to me more like watching Texas fail than it felt like watching Florida succeed.

Um, and by that I mean, like, there, there were plays where, again, and, and it's included in the film study article, um, where Texas for some reason has their whole offensive line sliding to the left when there's no need to.

Like, it wasn't like Florida was, like, showing blitz.

Like, that wasn't a, a scary thing that it looked like Florida was doing, but, but Texas just slides to the left, and then leaves for some reason, again, uh, their right tackle, Michael Siani, in, in one-on-one with Aaron Childs if he blitzed.

I don't know what he would've done if, if Aaron Childs didn't blitz.

Um, but one-on-one if he blitzed, which Aaron Childs did come in.

But that left the tight end in one-on-one pass protection against L.J. McCray, and then that left the running back in pass protection on, uh, Laganza Hayward on that play.

And that sack happens.

Like, L.J. gets the sack, right? And it's like, well, probably because you put a tight end on L.J.

McCray.

[laughs] Like, you put a tight end on a 280-pound defensive lineman.

College tight ends aren't supposed to be blocking that.

Like, that, that's the thing where I, I hate bringing this up.

I haven't brought him up in a while.

Like, that was the thing with me with, with Hayden Hansen, why I thought it was impressive, was that he's a tight end that could handle that sometimes.

Even then, sometimes.

Like, college tight ends are not supposed to handle 280-pound defensive linemen on their own in pass protection.

It just doesn't make sense.

But, like, that, that felt like one of those games where it's like, "Okay, I don't know...

I, I don't, I don't know what they're doing." Like, it, it just didn't make a lot of sense to me to watch that, that offense and just watch them fail and fail and fail.

And, like, they kept failing, but they kept running some of the same stuff, and it just...

it, it didn't make much sense to me.
