Title: "14 Burning Questions for 2012: #6 – Florida" Post by: Chechem on June 30, 2012, 06:40:12 AM http://tidebits.wordpress.com/2012/06/30/14-burning-questions-for-2012-6-florida/
Quote We’re looking at 14 SEC teams and 14 burning questions. Today we’re up to Florida. #6 – How much of a year two bump will Florida experience under Will Muschamp? Florida was a major disappointment in 2011. There’s no doubt about that. Despite having one of the more talented rosters in the conference, the Gators stumbled to a 7-6 mark, their lowest win total since Ron Zook’s final year in 2004. Maybe a 7-6 mark could be expected in the first year of a new coaching staff. Heck, I even picked the Gators to have a 7-5 regular season mark. But it was the way the Gators went about their business that was so disturbing. After John Brantley was hurt against Alabama, the Gators went into the tank. Following the 38-10 loss to Bama, they received a 41-11 hammering by LSU, staggered through a 17-6 loss at Auburn, lost 24-20 to their bitter rival Georgia, narrowly averted a loss to Vandy and fell short against South Carolina, 17-12. That’s five losses in six games and maybe that was expected after Brantley’s injury, but the Gator coaching staff appeared completely uninspired and outmanned as they tried to deal with this adversity.... |
