This is what everybody needs to remember. Coach did a great job creating a manageable schedule this year, and this was the one game that wasn't ever going to be good for us. Too many people looked past too many details and thought we had a good chance this week, that was never the case if Florida came to play.

We need depth, and we need experience to beat an SEC team. We don't have either right now. Give it time guys. We were projected to win 1-2 games before the season started, and we are going bowling. This season has been a win.

Keep in mind that Florida did not win 36-7 by being Mr Nice Guy. They would have scored a TD rather than kick a FG every time - if UAB had not stopped them. They would much rather have won like Bama did against Mercer or any of the other "cupcake game before rivalry game" that we saw around the nation today.

Florida's team knows they were in a game, not a vacation spa visit. I am proud of the effort UAB put on that field today and know that the team members learned a lot by experience that the coaches had told them by words. Sometimes experience is a more impressive teacher.
