AURex 2,262 Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Las Vegas Bowl -- Florida vs Oregon State Blech! It's hard to believe Florida beat PAC12 champion Utah early in the season, but looked like steaming cow pies against Oregon State. Yes, UF was without their original QB, but it was like the rest of the team just was not there offensively or defensively. I'm not a fan of UF and I know they've struggled without Richardson, but still, this was an embarrassing slap down by a PAC12 also-ran. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLAG-91 1,612 Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Florida kicking the FG kept a small bit of trivia involving AU going. Florida's 436-game scoring streak started after Auburn's 16-0 shutout of the Gators in Gainesville on October 29, 1988. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They finished 9-3 plus bowl game. Not bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AURex 2,262 Posted December 19, 2022 Author Share Posted December 19, 2022 True, they finished 9-3, but lost to USC, Utah and UDub. Maybe "also ran" was not the best choice of words, but they were certainly not an elite team. Florida beat a much better Utah team, only to crumble during the season. I've read that a lot of Florida fans are questioning whether Napier was such a good hire. Personally, I don't care if Florida loses every game. I just didn't expect them to be shut down and for all intents and purposes, shut out by a PAC12 team. I expected Florida to, at least, play decent defense and make more that 2 yards on offense in the second quarter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commentators in the game made mention that apparently a LOT of UF players sat out the bowl game, while UO had none that did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUGoo 2,703 Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 If everyone is now going to sit out of the bowl games, let's just do away with them. Or at least have an understanding, my second string agin your second string. Or, maybe we'll just set up scrimmages against other teams in the off season. I understand the reasoning, but that don't make it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUloggerhead 2,529 Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 Bowl games used to be somewhat special. When 6-6 teams and even 5-7 teams can get a bowl game, then that's a good indication that we are way beyond their Best If Used By date. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
