Cover, excellent write up as usual. I suspect the editors at the Gainesville Sun read your post-game summaries and concluded that Dooley can never match your analyses, and forced his resignation and required that he leave the building out the back by the dumpsters.
Regarding UF rushing, I put together a little Excel summary thinking there might be something of a noticeable trend, but did not find one. UF rushing vs. UT seems to be an anomaly, or the start of a trend, or the result of bad Tennessee whiskey. Did our O-line, in a single week, forget how to run block? The Gators leaned on Trask, and he was up to it, fortunately. Did you see that UTs gameplan was to stop the run and force Trask to throw...are they that inept to try that scheme? I didn't see UT stacking the box much to that end, but their 3 & 4 down linemen certainly ID'd our ballcarriers quickly and moved to make the stops. (I well remember my HS coach barking "HIT & HUNT!!...EYES IN THE BACKFIELD!). Without WR Copeland's 17 yd run .
What reason(s) do you see for such an abysmal performance in a single week against a mediocre opponent?
He started with the run and after two stalled drives and a bunch of stuffs.. the next drive was all pass and we marched right down for a TD
I was hoping a light went off
Only time will tell me I was wrong
