Will Muschamp in two drives
Over at the Fire Will Muschamp forum there's a great thread that I agree with 100%.
1:44 left in the 2nd Quarter - Bama 21 UF 14
1st and 10 at FLA 20 Matt Jones run for 1 yd to the Fla 21
2nd and 9 at FLA 21 Matt Jones run for 5 yds to the Fla 26
3rd and 4 at FLA 26 Matt Jones run for 2 yds to the Fla 28
End of 2nd Quarter
Our defense has been absolutely shredded to this point and we are going to waste a possession and an opportunity to add points? I know Driskel hasn't been lighting it up but this is a game where our defense needs help, and of course, doesn't get it. I also realize only 1:44 on the clock but wouldn't that be a perfect time to use our new hurry-up offense? Classic Muschamp not utilizing all of the tools at our disposal, being conservative and afraid. Shocker. If you can't take a risk and actually go out and try to win a game you have no business winning anyway then you're not much a football coach.
5:27 left in the 3rd Quarter - Bama 28 UF 21
1st and 10 at FLA 35 Matt Jones run for 5 yds to the Fla 40
2nd and 5 at FLA 40 Matt Jones run for 3 yds to the Fla 43
3rd and 2 at FLA 43 Matt Jones run for no gain to the Fla 43
4th and 2 at FLA 43 Kyle Christy punt for 57 yds for a touchback
GAME OVER right there. Alabama just finished off a 16 play, 7 minute TD drive to go up by 7. We desperately needed at least a couple of first downs, if not a responding score ourselves and Muschamp goes full turtle again. Three straight Jones runs and punts. For all of the people who said getting a new OC won't matter because Muschamp will continue to dictate the offense, you were 100% right.
