hopefully, tackling issues can be resolved with better practice and game experience

Frost talks about tackling in practice.  You need to practice it to be good.

apparently Frost tackles in space, but not between the tackles in practice

Halftime questions to coaches are useless.  Zero info, trite responses.

Yeesh, that Miami-Florida game, might have been just about the lowest IQ football game I've ever seen.

How do you only score 38 on Hawai'i?  And that A on their helmets is as if they accidentally left their real logos on the mainland and had to run out to buy stickers last-minute.

A Gator Alumni club takes over a bar a few blocks from my building so I had a lot of fun being loud with them to open College Football 2019. But yea, the running consensus was how sloppy the play was and the lack of mental toughness. I’m wondering if what we saw of the poor tackling in last night’s game is here to stay for the first few games of every season given how much less contact takes place in the practices leading up to the season. It’s like what you see in the NFL where offensive lines now play so poorly to start the first few games of just about every season.

As for Franks, I know he made some awful decisions, particularly on that 4th Q interception, but, IMO, his problems are fixable with some micromanaging from the coaches. He’s fully capable of executing an effective game plan as long as he remains focused, something which he half-assed last night.

Well everyone's "tackling" those inner-tube looking things instead of a live player who can bend and cut and juke.  An inner tube, in my experience, doesn't do any of those things while rolling.
