Or we could have scored too, should have could have gotten both ways. Conservative play calling almost cost is the game. Play to win, not to lose.
Or the horse collar tacklesAnd I forgot to include as a bullet...
I don't think I've ever seen more blatant holding by Florida, that wasn't called, on their last two drives. Maybe someone could find the play, but at one point one of their OL had our guy completed wrapped up from behind like he was giving him a big ole bear hug as he was trying to get to Richardson.
I don’t think it’s arguable.taken the foot off the gas, if Hooker would have thrown a pic, or fumbled on a sack, most if not all of the same people would have been complaining that he should have stuck to the run on the last drive.
We won...
Florida got nearly every possible break this game...
We have arguably the best overall coaching staff we've had in 15 years...
Let them grow and learn... good times are ahead!
True. Still wish they’d change these trends towards the end of tight games…or in this case comfortably led. Happened last year also.taken the foot off the gas, if Hooker would have thrown a pic, or fumbled on a sack, most if not all of the same people would have been complaining that he should have stuck to the run on the last drive.

Or, as we've called it since the Johnny Majors days, "prevent-a-win" defense.Agree completely. Seen more games lost than saved, from doing that. Florida was one play away from winning. Always hate to see that, or "prevent" defense. Coaches change up, giving away momentum, and just quit, instead of playing the way that got the lead and kept it. Seen more games lost than saved, from doing that.
Gotta "dance with who brung us".

Exactly why it was bad calls. We would struggle running up the middle against Akron or Ball st. O line is the weakest length. Every play should of been a wide open receiver, high percentage pass or him keeping it and using his legs. He’s a senior that threw three interceptions last year, your best offensive weapon, and by far greater chance of him running for a 1st down than small.I thought Heupel got fairly aggressive on the 4th down short pass, but FL made a good defensive play.
Perhaps the only thing I would have changed is I would have had Hooker fake to Smalls and keep the ball on one of the runs. Florida was heavily keying in on Smalls as everyone new we were going to run the ball... Hooker could have gone for a good 10 - 20 yards!

It’s not so much about taking your foot off the gas. Heupel made a colossal mistake by not kicking that field goal late in the game. By not doing so, it gave Florida a path to win and almost pulled it off.
I saw that. I was looking for captain obvious but he never threw the flag. I remember the hands to the face that was called on us. In the replay it show the fla O lineman with his hand under the face mask of the Tenn player and we get the flag. Without friendly whistles a couple of those fla drives would have been over.
Me too. And especially with the gaters. I was so hoping we were going to finish with adding another 7 to that 17 point lead.True. Still wish they’d change these trends towards the end of tight games…or in this case comfortably led. Happened last year also.
