LSU 21, Florida 17

Is it possible for a team to get worse as the season goes on? Offensively, Florida is offensive. The phrase "totally inept" comes to mind, as does "can we have Zauenbrecher back?"

I understand that it is a new system, with a learning curve, but WTF? Even with five turnovers handed to them by the defense (congratulation on another fine performance from them), they still could manage only 17 points?

Chris Leak has regressed to the point of not knowing how to be a QB (or the QB position in Meyer's offense is so different that he's essentially starting over). He is obviously not adapting well, and it's up to Meyer to make adjustments so Leak doesn't have to. Like Spurrier, Meyer is reluctant to make changes (which used to drive me nuts with Spurrier). Unlike Spurrier, he doesn't have a system that puts up points anyway. And Leak is paying a heavy price. Oh, and he needs to find another receiver. When you only throw to one guy (Dallas Baker), the defense pays attention to that guy. Pick someone else, work with him in practice, and have two go-to receivers.

Once again, kudos to Wilbur and the punt coverage team, and once again, shame on the punt return team. How can one group get it, and the other be completely oblivious?
