  Speaker 1: Welcome back to A Peak Inside Gator Football.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: I'm Allie Peak.
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: This episode is brought to you by PrizePix. Don't forget
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: to download the app. And if you are a new user,
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: play a $ 5 lineup.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: And use our code. It's HMA.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: If you win, you'll get $ 150 in lineups instantly. So
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: I think that there is a temptation after a loss
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: like Missouri to overcorrect, like to act like everything is broken.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: I don't think everything is broken. But there are.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Five things Florida has to clean up immediately if they
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: want to get back on track against South Carolina. And
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: none of them are complicated. They're all things we've already
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: seen this team do well. That's what makes the Missouri
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: loss so frustrating, I think. Florida didn't suddenly forget how
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: to play football. They just got away from the things
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: that made them so good. So today I want to
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: go through the five biggest things Florida must fix before Saturday.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Number five, get back to playing on schedule. This offense
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: cannot live in the third and long, and that's probably
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: the simplest way to put it. Florida is at its
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: best when they're staying ahead of the chains. Four or
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: five yards on first down, a manageable second down. Then
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: you can have the entire playbook available.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: You can run it. You can play action. You can
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: use movement.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: You can let Aaron Filo operate without the defense knowing
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: exactly what's coming. And against Missouri, Florida spent too much
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: time playing behind schedule. Negative plays, penalties, poor first down production.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: And once that happened, the offense became predictable. I think
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: that puts too much pressure on Philo. It puts too
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: much pressure on the offensive line, and it allows the
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: defense to attack. So against South Carolina, I want to
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: see Florida establish rhythm early. It doesn't have to be flashy.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: It just has to be efficient. Get four yards. Get
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: five yards. Keep the offense out of obvious passing situations.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: That's where this offense is at its best.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: Number four. It's a big one. Fix the penalties. This one,
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: they have to nip in the bud. Florida is not
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: good enough to give away free yardage against SEC teams.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: And truly, almost nobody is.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: But when you're already struggling to move the football or
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: get off the field defensively, a penalty becomes even more damaging.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: False starts, holding, late hits, personal fouls, whatever it is,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: those mistakes compound everything. And this is where I think
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: discipline becomes a major part of the conversation. Florida wants
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: to be a physical team.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Great. Be physical.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: But physical and reckless are not the same thing. Coach
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: talks all the time about he wants to be smart tough,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: not dumb tough. There is a difference between playing with
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: an edge or hurting your team. This is the kind
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: of game where Florida needs to be emotionally under control.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: If South Carolina gets them frustrated and Florida starts giving
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: away free yards, you're helping the opponent. After Missouri, that
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: can't happen again. I'm going to take a quick break
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: to tell you guys something exciting. We are now available
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: on audio platforms. You can find us on Spotify and
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Apple Podcasts. If there's another platform we should be on
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: and we aren't yet, let me know down in the comments.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: I'll see what we can do.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: You guys have been saying for probably over a year
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: that you really wanted an audio option as well as YouTube.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: So we are trying to do what you guys are requesting.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: And so go over there and subscribe. Check us out
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: if you would prefer to listen on audio instead of
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: on YouTube.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: Okay, so number three.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: The offensive line has to reestablish itself. And this might
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: be the biggest on-field issue of all. Florida's entire offensive
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: identity starts up front. When the offensive line is moving people,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: everything looks different. The run game works. Baugh gets downhill.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: The linebackers step up. Play action opens. Philo gets cleaner pockets.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: The offense gets into rhythm. When the offensive line struggles,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: everything gets harder. And that's what we saw against Missouri.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Florida looked like a completely different offense because they could
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: not consistently control the line of scrimmage. So against South Carolina,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: this has to be a statement game for that group.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: You don't need perfection. You do need physicality. You do
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: need better pass protection. You do need movement in the
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: run game. And you do need to prove that Missouri
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: was one bad afternoon, not the beginning of a trend.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Every defense left on Florida's schedule is going to test
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: that front now.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: And they should.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: If I'm an opposing defensive coordinator, I am watching Missouri
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: and saying, okay, make Florida prove they can block us.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: That's what Florida has to do. Number two. The defense
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: has to adjust faster.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: This is the one that bothered me maybe the most
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: on Saturday in Missouri. Not that Missouri found success. Good
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: offenses are going to find things that work, and I
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: think that Austin Simmons is really good. This kind of
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: stuff happens. The problem is when they keep finding the
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: same thing. Florida never really seemed to find a real
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: answer once Missouri began controlling the game on the ground.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: There were poor fits, missed tackles, bad angles, and the
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: same problems kept showing up. At some point, somebody has
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: to change the picture. That can be schematic. It can
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: be personnel. It can be alignment. It can be as
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: simple as players executing better. But you can't let an
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: opponent beat you the same way over and over and
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: over again. That is what I want to see against
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: South Carolina. If they hit Florida with something early, how
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: quickly does Florida adjust? How quickly do the players recognize it?
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: How quickly does the staff respond?
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: That's going to matter.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: South Carolina is going to study every single thing Missouri
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: did successfully. And then they're going to test it. And
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Florida has to show that they have learned from that game.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: And number one, I think Florida has to respond to
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: adversity better. This is the absolute biggest one. It goes
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: way beyond scheme. Florida did not handle adversity well at Missouri.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Once momentum shifted, things snowballed. One mistake became another, then another.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Then the offense got frustrated. The defense got worn down.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: The game started getting away from them. And Florida never
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: really stopped the bleeding. I think that is a maturity issue.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: That is something I talked so much about last week
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: that was a concern of mine. This was a maturity
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: litmus test. Could they read the press clippings? Could they
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: see everybody on the national shows? Could they feel the
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: hype from everybody about that ass kicking of number four
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Ole Miss and then put their hard hat on and
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: go back to work and not let it bother them?
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: And this week, That's what I'm watching more than anything else.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Last week, everybody was singing their praises. This week, everybody's
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: talking about them like they are horrific. Neither is something
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: that this team needed to listen to. Something's going to
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: go wrong against South Carolina. It does every single game.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: That is football.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: And maybe Florida gives up a long touchdown, let's say,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: or Philo throws a bad pass.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: Maybe there's a penalty.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Maybe South Carolina gets out to an early lead. What
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: happens next? I think that tells me more than almost
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: anything else. Does Florida panic? Do they press? Do they
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: start making emotional mistakes? Or do they settle down and
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: play the next snap? That is what good teams do.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Win the next moment. They don't need to let one
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: bad moment become an entire bad quarter or let one
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: bad quarter become an entire bad game. Florida did that
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: at Missouri. They can't do it again. I'm going to
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: add a little bonus here. Because I think it ties
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: everything together. Florida needs to remember who they are. They
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: need to get back their identity. This team is not
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: supposed to be finesse. They are supposed to be physical.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: They are supposed to run the football. They are supposed
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: to play disciplined defense. They are supposed to wear teams down.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: That was the formula that got them off to a
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: 4-0 start. That was the formula against Ole Miss. And
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: then at Missouri, they got.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: Away from it.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: So this week should not be about reinventing the offense.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: It shouldn't be about some massive schematic overhaul. It should
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: be about getting back to basics.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: Block better. Run harder. Tackle better. Play cleaner. Respond better.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Florida doesn't have to be perfect against South Carolina, but
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: they do need to look like themselves again. And that's
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: the biggest thing. They need to look physical. They need
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: to look disciplined. They need to look confident. They need
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: to look like a team that learned something from Missouri
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: instead of a team that is still thinking about that
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: loss to Missouri.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: One bad game is going to happen.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: But if the same issues show up two weeks in
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: a row, then they're no longer one game problems.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: They're trends.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: And Florida can't afford to have those trending in the
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: wrong direction with what's coming up next on the schedule.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: So those are the five things I need to see
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: fixed this week.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Play on schedule, cut out penalties, reestablish the offense, adjust
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: faster on defense, and most importantly, respond better when something
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: goes wrong. If Florida does those things, they can get
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: back on track. And if they don't, we're going to
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: be having a very different conversation next week. One that
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: I really honestly hope we're not going to have to have.
