2019 College Football Week 0

[Shadowlight]

They called the games last night week 0 so I figured why not submit a mini report. Even though media hero QB Tate of AZ put up big stats ( two interceptions though) last night I was relieved they lost to lowly Hawaii.

The Florida- Miami game was marred by poor disciplinary play, hideous mental errors and some shoddy tackling at times.
The Florida QB whose white mom was in the crowd made some foolish plays and almost cost the Gators the game.

Why bother reporting on this stuff? Two reasons. Miami DE Scott Patchan who started with a new number (#71) played well and recovered a fumble.

QB Tate Martell kept getting on the field as a decoy. His stats might say one attempt for minus one yard but nearly every time they faked the ball to Martell, Miami would make a big gain. Confirms my suspicions that when black defenses see a honky skill player they sense blood like sharks. They kept overflowing in Martell's direction opening up huge holes. Their main mission it seemed was "don't let the honky" show them up. Laughable. And sad.

I'll chime in on the Florida-Miami game. Full disclosure: I only watched the 2nd half. It was painful to watch. Horrible QB play, terrible tackling, and just sloppy and undisciplined football. The "athletic" offensive lines were simply terrible. There were several lead changes, and it should have been a very exciting game to watch. Instead, it was a cringe-fest. I texted a friend who was also watching that it was like watching Grambling vs. Southern back in the 80's only without the bands. If Florida is the 8th best team in the country, then college football is in serious decline.

I didn’t watch the game but I wonder who is to blame for the 10 sacks Miami gave up. Was it the crappy QB or is their offensive line just that bad? I think if Martell was the QB things would’ve have turned out differently.

Miami’s last “drive” and Florida’s defense was downright laughable

Blatant Pass interference on 4th and 34 and 3rd and 12 to extend drives followed by a third PI call (that was later negated) in the end zone. Then the Miami QB Jarren Williams puts the cherry on top with an intentional grounding after running around like a chicken with his head cutoff on 4th down to end the game.

Miami almost “drove” down the field and won the game with 60 yards of Florida penalties. What a way to kick off 150 years of American football. Watching this was almost as cringeworthy as listening to Ben Shapiro and Bill Kristol shill for Israeli wars.

Accurate reporting from Awake in America and Claimjumper. Miami's OL was beyond atrocious and their best plays were misdirection plays involving Martell who was often in motion and used as a decoy.

Hard to say Red raider regarding the Miami QB Williams since he was being pressured so often. Not close to being the athlete of Martell but at times he threw the ball well. Too soon to dump on him. They are going to have to figure out what to do with Martell. I would suggest using him like Taysom Hill for now and if Williams can't produce I would insert Martell as the starter.

The Florida QB Franks is an annoying player who threw a late interception that should have cost his team the game. Franks is a mediocre QB and I can't imagine them winning big with him despite a stingy defense. Problem is they could be 5-0 before they host Auburn on October 5th. Their so called "stud NFL ready DBs" were called for some of the dumbest interference calls imaginable. Just grabbing receivers and bailing out Miami late in the game for no reason see above.

Martell played 15 snaps. I would double that and give him the ball 5- 10 times instead of just once. I would also allow him to be in pass/run positions otherwise the defenses will collapse on him every time he touches the ball. See below breakdown of his game for those that didn't watch it.
