Last year, UF's 11-1 regular season record was a joke to say the least. They let teams they should've destroyed like Jacksonville State and Missouri hang around all game and would've lost to homecoming patsy U. of Louisianna-Laffayette were it not for a last second fluke. And then there was the beat down Louisville gave them in the Sugar Bowl. Delightfully, it looks like the 2013 squad is picking up where the disappointment left off. Last week they beat Toledo, a punching bag of a team, by 18 points, and today they embarrassed themselves yet again with a loss to an unranked team from the "lowly" ACC, Miami, 21-16. Oh, how the arrogant have fallen.

Nothing's changed. Driskell is still pathetic. Pease's playcalling is still horrible. Muschamp still doesn't look like he knows what the hell is going on. It all adds up to what could be a delightfully gut wrenching season for the orange and blah.

So, as always, here's the live game thread, with all sentiments of Gator hope and joy removed, leaving only the sweet misery, agony and frustration. Enjoy.

Note: Pay special attention to the last quarter of the thread where the Fickle Faithful are questioning if Muschamp is the guy, it's especially delicious.

Not liking how Driskel is still staring down receivers
That eventually turns into an INT

I hate this.
Louisville all over. Our guys are trying to out thug Miami and JD looks like he did at his worst last year.

Playcalling Sucks period
I don’t know about anybody else, but if I see one more wishbone counter play I’m going to go crazy!!! The passing game is working a lot better than jumbo running plays. I hope they show more variety or it’s going to be a long day
by Montay B on Sep 7, 2013 | 12:39 PM reply

What. The. Fuck.
Editor at Alligator Army.
Terrible D
Did the Gators not gameplan for this offense. They look like they didn’t even watch film or anything. No huddle….Run Duke….Play-action…. come on man!!!
by Montay B on Sep 7, 2013 | 12:42 PM reply

Our defense is scaring me.
I was not worried about them as much coming into this game, I was much more concerned about the offense.
by gatorsgatorsgators on Sep 7, 2013 | 12:43 PM reply

Oh. Another Penalty.
HOW SHOCKING

of course, driskle stares down the reciever, doesnt throw it away and gives up the ball.

So I have an idea
lets play conservatively except when it involves actually putting point on the board
by Tractorr on Sep 7, 2013 | 1:11 PM reply

Pease is having a worse game than JD.
And that’s saying something.

Just drink continuously while the offense is on the field at this point.

STARE STARE STARE STARE STARE
Just like freshman Leak in the 2002 game, at some point that stare and throw turns into a pick

Could Driskel possibly STARE DOWN his target any longer

This half makes me miss Ron Zook

by Tractorr on Sep 7, 2013 | 1:34 PM reply

Absolute worst
Where do you start with this game. Fumbles, penalties, conditioniong, play calling? Thanks god for the special team block. I keep thinking what this game will be doing for Miami recruiting.
by Backto89 on Sep 7, 2013 | 1:41 PM reply
My how the mighty Gators have fallen
Mel Kiper was right. The Gators should have been the underdog. And you don’t know how much that pains me to say that.
by Backto89 on Sep 7, 2013 | 1:45 PM reply

Pease is coaching horribly in the red zone.
Anyone notice how every time we’ve been down here we’ve been 2nd and 10+? That’s 4 times!!! Play calling is awful.

Come D, we need you to score a TD!

We had our chances. We did this to ourselves.
Miami fans will be INSUFFERABLE.

So we now see
that this is the exact same team as last year. No improvement.
Everything in moderation, including moderation.

I put that on Muschamp
This team just doesn’t show up to play
by Tractorr on Sep 7, 2013 | 3:15 PM up reply

The question is is Muschamp the right guy
The offense wasn’t good under Weis either
by Tractorr on Sep 7, 2013 | 3:16 PM up reply

Ive said that since day one
Muschamp is horrible
by Backto89 on Sep 7, 2013 | 3:18 PM up reply

The Gators are all around terrible
The D is the only good part of this team. Coaching and Offense need to change.
by Montay B on Sep 7, 2013 | 3:16 PM reply

This is what you get when you hire a coordinator as your HC
You should prove yourself as an HC before you get this job

We can score?
Well color me astounded.
by gatorsgatorsgators on Sep 7, 2013 | 3:18 PM reply

what the hell was that??
by Augusta Gator on Sep 7, 2013 | 3:28 PM reply

Worse even than some of our embarassing wins, last season.
For obvious reasons.
by Native Son on Sep 7, 2013 | 3:31 PM up reply

Miami kicked the shit out of us
But not as bad as we kicked the shit out of ourselves. Face it. The Gators suck under Mushchamp.
by Backto89 on Sep 7, 2013 | 3:31 PM reply

Until today
I was a HUGE supporter of Driskel and Muschamp. I’ve always been a bit questionable of the Pease hiring.
Today was pathetic, embarrassing, and just plain sad. Driskel deserved to be benched (Yes even though we have no quality backup).

The last 20 or so seconds of this game chalked up the Muschamp-Pease-Driskel era to the T. When you have 3 boneheads with no brains this is what you get. Remember in year one when Muschamp made some really stupid in-game decisions that left you scratching your head? Guess what, you are still getting them NOW. How can all 3 of them be so CLUELESS about managing a football game? It’s embarrassing enough if we were Florida Atlantic but we are 1 of the top Football programs in the country. Muschamp is losing the fan base FAST.
I will say I was extremely proud of both Patton and VH3 today. And Durkin had the D ready to go. But obviously it doesn’t matter how good your D is when your O is incompetent.
by Spurrier's Zinger on Sep 7, 2013 | 3:49 PM reply

I don’t pretend to think I know what’s going on behind the scenes as
far as the dynamic between Pease and Muschamp. That said, Dan Hawkins left Boise St and was horrible. That should have been the first indication that Boise St is good because Petersen is good, not the offensive coordinator. Pease is the same. I was waiting and wanted to give this guy a fair shake, but really? That, after last year? Obviously Boise wasn’t good because of him.
I agree, Driskel didn’t cut it and still holds it too long. Not sure the answer, since we don’t have a quality backup (but that’s based on Pease’s evaluation, and he’s losing all credibility with me).
by nugent1021 on Sep 7, 2013 | 3:53 PM up reply

I remember
When Pease was hired everyone here was going on and on about how great the hire was. I don’t know how you could possibly still think that now. It was not a good hire. The Joker hire was a good one though.
I loved Driskel in High School, and even after his performance against GA I still stuck behind him. But after today, I’ve lost all hope for this entire football team.
