General question to all, as I've not paid this much attention to detail...but has either side of the ball had to adjust in a game yet? Offensively, we know CBN's preferred gameplay, but when falling behind does he lean more to pass? Or is it simply run first, all the time? We have 1.3y of his offense to know this (tainted by what he could call last year given the talent). On defense, we've only had 3 games with AA, and I don't think he's been in a situation where he had to adjust. Seems the defense has been handling things well. Always room for improvement, but I don't recall any adjustments being needed. Anyone?
Edit: I don’t think these are adjustments so much as dictated by the score.

Once they were down a lot at Utah we took the underneath passes which padded stats but didn’t really threaten to win the game.

The defense seemed to perk up and play well after a miserable start. But once Utah had their big lead they mostly worked the clock.

The Ut game was almost the exact reverse. We got the big lead and turtled offensively in the 2nd half and forced them to chew clock and take what we gave them in the 2nd half. That made Ut look better in stats.

Billy expressed regret at his conservative approach vs. Ut in the 2nd, but I wonder if he adapts next time or plays the percentages. I suspect the latter.

I like Ox’s vision: get a lead and keep it.

The list of great games, plays, and moments against Tennessee over the years is long. But what are our iconic moments against Kentucky? There’s “Doering’s got a touchdown,” the unguarded WR’s, and Trask’s big comeback. Anything else?

Tell me you were late or blacked out at the beginning of the tenn game, without telling me you were late or blacked out at the beginning of the tenn game.
Ha! I’m well aware of Wilson III and his participation until he got hurt. I just wondered is he now playing since they have him listed 1st? I had heard it might be until Dwag game before he’s back.

He ended up only having a bruise rather than a break. Credit the training staff and EW3 for doing the necessary recovery to get back into the lineup.

We have 4 passing TDs on the season so far.

We are 99th in passing TDs per game right now. Muschamp was 105th, 80th, 76th and 84th.

OK gotcha. Yeah, there was a lot of misinformation thrown around regarding Wilson. That night, I was told by someone next to me at the game that it was broken. I’ve since heard that he could have played last week if we had let him. So I’m thinking he should be good.

1984 Florida won in Lexington 25 - 17 to clinch the Gators' first supposedly SEC championship which as you know was later nullified as part of the Pell fiasco.

1990 Steve Spurrier's first Gator team defeats Kentucky in Lexington 47 - 15 but again the Gators are denied the SEC championship due to NCAA probation,

1991 Florida defeats Kentucky in Gainesville 35 - 26 to clinch the Gators' first undisputed SEC championship.

So much nostalgia....the I-formation play action....the toss sweep to Rhett....the only staple missing in there was the draw play to Rhett.
