- Dobbs has to be Dobbs. He has to run, he isn't a consistent enough thrower to win games like that. He can make great throws, and follow it up with overthrows.
- Kamara isn't a very good inside runner. Don't design inside running plays in traffic for him, get him the ball out in space. Hurd and Kelly are better runners inside.
- Get the ball to Malone. We have a go-to guy at WR now, use him. PW isn't quite there yet
- We cannot keep hoping to recover our own fumbles. That has to be corrected immediately.
- Our Defensive pressure is actually very good. Keep getting Tuttle and Mack more playing time. Barnett doesn't have sacks but he constantly gets to the QB and makes plays. Kongbo is also playing well right now.
- Losing Sutton is a blow, but I am more concerned with Moseley than Buchanan. Buchanan looks solid and was pretty impressive in his debut.

How do we beat FL?

- Pressure whoever is at QB. Appleby is a big slow QB, he will make mistakes when pressured, and the FL OL isn't good.
- Stack the box and make them pass. They will likely want to run the ball a lot
- Ivey has to sit out the first half. Build a lead. Mix it up. On a couple of drives we had a real nice pass run mix. Keep that up.
- Get ball to Malone, Byrd, Hurd, Kamara, and Jennings.
- Don't turn the ball over.
- Special teams. Flip the field.

FL has a good defense but they're not as good as people think, they have played three bad teams. We can score on them, and we have a great opportunity with a brand new QB starting in our house. A guy who couldn't start at Purdue.
