Not ideal...

Welp -- all I ask is for this not to be a body bag game and we see some semblance of of offense. Thought Perry looked great actually on the first drive all things considering.

Damn, just when we were driving!

Line ain't getting er dun protection wise.

Somehow I’m more frustrated with this than I was the first quarter at Ohio State. 

Marquice Robinson has been so inconsistent throughout his career at both offensive tackle spots. Nothing’s changing so far. 

FAU is moving the ball again, entering UF territory for the second time in as many drives.

A DPI against #UF, following by back-to-back carries from Johnny Ford moves #FAU into Gators' territory!

WELP. A fumble kills what was an impressive FAU drive.

Ooof, that bites. Perry fumbles after getting hit from behind while beginning his throwing motion.#UF falls on the ball for #FAU's first turnover of the season.

Perry has to understand in conference play you'll have 3 secs…. today it's 2 secs….

That's it for the first period.
