The No. 15-ranked Gators, in Muschamp’s first season, rode into Lexington undefeated and having allowed only 26 points to date, most of them the week before in a three-point win over Tennessee.

UF used a pair of turnovers to go up 21-0 after Chris Rainey (2:54) ran it in from the 27 on a John Brantley pitch that took him from pinned in at the left sideline to sprinting down the right sideline for the score.

That was one talented defense Meyer left behind for Muschamp.

The following week, in the sold-out Swamp, in a game that was way over-hyped, UF laid a big egg against No. 3 Alabama, losing 38-10. That was the launch of a four-game losing streak that effectively ended hopes for a good 2011.

Meyer left an unbalanced roster and an imperfect OL. But that team had no business not winning at least the East in 2011-2013, and competing for. NC at least once. Instead, we foundered. It was 100% on a complete sham of a coach and the idiot(s) who hired and still revere him. The fact that any of them are still living in, or welcome, in Gainesville is absurd.

Muschamp is not allowed in ABC Liquors.

I remember watching Bama lineman throw our lineman around like they were made of paper mache. Their kicker even had veins sticking out of his arms. That’s when I realized some steroid testing programs were less stringent than others..much like some scholarships are worth much more than others (with credit to the great SS for that last one).

Once upon a time we were up against it late in Lex. I don’t recall any false starts during this drIve.
