Scott,
I couldn't agree more. I think this game provides a measuring stick as to how far the Gators have come and must go to challenge at the national level. So to answer your question, Can we close the gap, I answer I do not know. I do know that if the Gators can just eliminate the turnovers and get a little better in their red zone offense, UF can close the gap to within a field goal. I will say that I think a 2006 Chris Leak looks better than a 2010 John Brantley. One of my concerns was why were we unable to stop Bama defensively in the first half.

We COULD have won this game... it COULD have been MUCH closer. But we were inept in the red zone. We got into their red zone 5 times and came out with 6 points. That is atrocious! So where does that blame fall? Certainly the jump pass was boneheaded, Meyer took the blame going into the half. But all the other problems? We look out of sync. Brantley appears about .5 second SLOW on all his passes/reads. He hesitates a fraction of a second too long. It doesn't look smooth or fluid. Its herky jerky... Something is failing. All can be fixed. Play calling leaves something to be desired. Our O-line is supposed to be one of the greatest in the nation and they are underachieving. Coaching plays a huge part in all of the issues... they don't look prepared, they are not clicking, they are not reaching their potential-- yet! My concern is there is not enough time in the season to improve before the next Bama game... we control our destiny still, but to what end? Can we close this gap? -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us
